[103attendees] Fwd: New Version Notification for draft-elkschul-conflict-problem-00.txt

[nalini elkins <[e-mail]>]

All,

This is the problem statement on consensus building and conflict resolution
that Henning and I have been working on.  I spoke about this at the Plenary
yesterday.

There will be a companion document on solutions.   Please let us know any
thoughts you have.  I think it is best to define the problems quite clearly
before moving to solutions.

Thanks,
Nalini

Abstract:
   At the IETF, we currently use a set of methods to communicate a point
   of view, to solicit input, to resolve conflict and attempt to obtain
   consensus within the group.  These methods include: writing an
   Internet Draft, discussion on email lists, discussion at face-to-
   face, interim or virtual meetings, and design teams.  At times, these
   methods fall short.  People become entrenched in their positions.  A
   Working Group may be split 80-20 or 70-30 for a prolonged period.
   This wastes time and energy and may have a lasting impact.  This
   document discusses the benefits and drawbacks of each of the current
   methods of communication focusing solely on their efficacy at
   conflict resolution.   A companion document will propose some
   solutions including alternative methods of conflict resolution.




Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
