NOTE: THIS ENGAGEMENT IS COMPLETE. WHAT YOU SEE BELOW WAS WRITTEN TO ORIENT PARTICIPANTS TO THE PROCESS WHILE IT WAS TAKING PLACE, AND CAN ALSO SERVE AS AN INTRODUCTION TO THESE PADS, WHICH FORM A RECORD OF THE CONVERSATIONS THAT TOOK PLACE.
Here is an overview of the main hackpads(an updated version is maintained on this +Index pad):
The +Aboutpad is a good place to start, especially if you were not involved in the dialogue during January. It includes links at the bottom to invitations from the hosting team and from Ben Roberts personally, as well as a context-setting piece from Linda Ellinor.
The individual +Harvestpads are also a good place to begin a deeper dive(and if you were a participant and have not done so already, please consider creating your own!)
Read about some of the people who were"here" via the +Intros pads.
The main online +Open Space pad links to eleven topics, many of which have detailed discussions via hackpad.
Each plenary call and each Bohm dialogue has extensive notes on what was said. In the plenaries, these notes are often on subsidiary pads corresponding to breakout groups, the links to which can be found within the main pad for each call. There are also notes on each main pad, especially from the plenary harvest or"closing circle" portions of the call. Here's a basic index:
The main+What's In Motion? and +Resources pads each link to many subsidiary pads where various items of interest have been compiled.
The +Group Works Deck Card of the Evening Conversations were a delightful series of impromptu small group gatherings, each of which was based on a randomly chosen card form the Group Works Deck. Notes were scribed from the live discussions, and in some cases, post-call comments were also added.

Purpose and Intended Results
Our purpose is to explore the calling question”What do we, as members of the dialogue and deliberation community of practice, have to be and do to enable our most positive transformational impact in the face of emerging global crises which fundamentally challenge our business-as-usual habits and systems?”
The intended results of our time together(though January 31) include:
To engage in deep dialogue around our calling question.
To connect to build community and share resources, information and strategies.
To elicit inspiring, actionable possibilities and support the emergence of collaborative teams to work together on bringing them forth in the coming year.
To have the inquiry process itself be a prototype that can be iterated upon in service to systemic transformation.
The Time Frame: January and Beyond
This“community of inquiry and action" will gather through the end of January 2015, online and virtually(using phone and video conferencing). What happens beyond January—with all of us together and/or in various subgroups—is up to each of us. As hosts, we are designing the January experience to encourage various follow-up opportunities to emerge according to their own energy. The particular set of engagements we are offering will end at the end of the month, and our intention is to provide value to all who have been part of this community during that time.
