[Oe List ...] Draft of consensus paper

[Isobel & Jim Bishop]

Draft of consensus paperHello Jeanette,
Thank you so much for doing all this important work for us all.
Jim and I would like to be added to your long list....    
Yes, November 24th, Election Day; will be a very tense day in our household and our family, as we await the results across the nation.  
I think I mentioned that I still have my Wedding dress, which you wore at your Wedding from within the Sydney House, those long years ago..  a great and wonderfilled day!   
With our love to you,
Isobel and Jim.

  Dear Colleagues, 
  I have pulled together the debriefings on the consensus process you shared 
  on the list serves.  So far I have 25 pages of materials.    

  Present Table of contents: 

  1 Decision making and the Consensus Process

  2 Signs of "Real" Consensus

  3 Complexities in Consensus Process
     a.  Consensus-buy in-Resistance
     b.  Tension of Tradition and Participation
     c.   Process Traps
     d.  Diverse individual learning and processing styles
   
  4 Reflections and Questions about Consensus Process

  5 Successful Examples of working with building consensus


  This draft is too long to put on the list serve at this point.  If you wish a copy, tell me and 
  I will send it directly to your email.  I am also hoping that some of you may want to take this
  paper and add points or examples.   I have not written an introduction.  Someone may want 
  to work on that as well.  In my mind this is a corporate paper many of us are writing to be used
  as we wish. 

  Cheers  from Down Under where we have a hot election campaign going on for prime minister. 
  One candidate, Kevin Rudd, counts Dietrich Bonhoeffer as an important theologian in his life. 

  Take care,

  Jeanette Stanfield
