My question is - do others see this as a problem, and (without trying
to propose a concrete solution that will be seen as a threat) is there
a shared sense that this is a problem and general willingness to try
new ways of conducting our discussions?
I do.
I would add to the list of examples from my own experience IDNA,
Langtags, ethics.
I proposed a very simple solution which is the position links: every
active participant maintains a position statement page. The consensus
us when all the pages are white or equivalent. Considerably reduces
volume. Everyone can evaluate rough consensus easily. In case of
appeal the full file is here. Every outsider poping into the debate
(for example to advise on an area of his expertise) can brief himself
in minutes, and leave/update a comment of reference.
This was worked at at the WG-Review of the DNSO. I implemented it for
some arduous debates. It works well. It would however be great if
someone worked out a "plink" tool (as there are for blogs). Chair
could use it to list the points he currently sees as needing to be
solved. Rule here as always: KISS.
