      See <openspaceworld.net> for today’s BIN and additional Open Space Community relevant topics.  Agreed unanimously was that we would, for the next six months post all  non-private OSI(US) Board correspondence, updates on Board objectives attainments, to demonstrate our application of Open Space principles to our work.

      <openspaceworld.net> linked to OSLIST Home Page <www.oslist@listserv.boisestate.edu>; and to major internet search engines.  
      <openspaceworld.org> search page needs work.  Peg stated that she would ask John Kerry to work on this.
 TO THE BIN

 E) (Michael)A  U.S. National OSonOS (Open Space on Open Space) soon?
      Agreed unanimously was that this was a good idea.  The following supplemental ideas were noted:  1) U.S. OSonOS should occur at the opposite "side" of the year, i.e. February; from the Summer 2004 International OSonOS in Goa; 
      2) advice of Susan Partnow and Vicki Robin should be sought; and  
      3) possible theme for 2005 U.S. OSonOS = "the contributions of Open Space Technology to U.S. grassroots endeavors".
