Consensus (Re: Protesters Are Heroes)

2. The outcome of a meeting to discuss LPSF's goals as a
political party would be to unearth a consensus, which I
believe is lacking. Although I agree with you time would
perhaps be better spent in an activity.

I've been meaning to mention that a couple months back I
participated in a 3-day seminar in Seattle called Dynamic
Facilitation Skills. I've been looking for opportunities to
practice facilitation, and the kind of meeting you describe
would be perfect for those skills. :slight_smile:

Here's an overview of the approach:

Would anyone be interested in trying it out?

Justin,

Facilitation Skills, I think, are useful in any setting, political or
not, and I would love to see us at the LPSF practice such skills. If
someone has a large living room to offer (that leaves me out,
unfortunately), or can think of a cozy coffee shop, or any other
ideas for a venue? At one time Phil Berg offered his home for a
meeting; if Phil is now feeling better and is still interested, that
might be an idea.
