Cohousing-L Mailing List: "Soap Box" on agenda

[Lynn Nadeau / Maraiah (welcome]

RoseWind Cohousing in Port Townsend WA. (Long built).
We have sometimes had Open Space on our meeting agendas, where anyone  
could propose a topic, and then small groups gravitated to any topic  
of interest to them, for a set period of time.

Recently we've sometimes had Soap Box on some agendas. Simple: anyone  
can have two minutes on any topic at all, within the capacity of the  
ten minutes or so set aside for it on the agenda. It's been a good  
thing. Time to vent a frustration, make a suggestion, share an  
interest. Seems like a good return for the time it takes. A good  
balance for an otherwise quite-structured agenda.
