The Open Space Discussion is an idea for making meetings grass-rooted and even more effective, now and in future. It follows the law of two feet: if you find yourself in a situation where you are not contributing or learning, move somewhere you can.
The Four Open Space Principles:

• Whoever comes is the right people.
• Whatever happens is the only thing that could have happened.
• When it starts is the right time.
• When it's over it's over and when it's not over it's not over.
