after being at an open space hosted by JML living mainly in london to end of 2005 and trying to go beyond whatever 9/11 was my great hope had been both the start of the impact hubs and an annual summit at quaker house euston called be the change by 2004 we had started open spacing be the change led by colin morley https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-11838135   - he had become my number 2 mentor in london after dad www.normanmacrae.net only to be killed in 7/7, during 2005's so-called make poverty history year ; I had also tried to introduce open space across european union knowledgeboard community as part of my volunteer editing of whether there was any connection between knowledge management, emotional intelligence and intangibles auditing ; by 20004 i was summoned to brussels and told all inatangibles and emotional intel networks were to be closed (specifically i was told politicians dont think public cares about goodwill auditing and will not fund this research again unless 3 european enrons happen in the same year- when this did happen 2008 subrprime eu had forgotten its promise to revisit goodwill auditing)- for me a pity as I had spent 1990s at PWC failing there too; in parallel i had helped australan doctors launch global reconcilation network first summit in london 2003 ; the second summit was in delhi 2004 week before xmas at indira ganhi center; gandhi interested me as my grandfather spent 25 yeras in dialogues with him- while the summit in delhi was a highlight of my life- its intended publications never happened as the next week the tsunami hit; incidentally the attenborough family who I have always foolowed both bbc nature and as director of gandhi film lost a grandaughter in the tsunami - so it seems open space gets into the middle of all conflicts.. and i guess crypto, ,mtaverse, blockchain, meta-reality, artificial intel will become the ultimate conflict space to play in- where doe shat ground in community funding- this is part of www.ed3dao.com challenge new york has become one conversational epicentre of
