 * alone has grown to over 11,000 words. Previous discussion on the same text at Talk:Prem Rawat/Archive 36#DLM/PR coordination sprawled to 5,000 words. How many more thousands of words are needed to get us to a conclusion? I don't think we'll ever get there without active mediation. One lesson we've learned is that getting a consensus among only some of the editors is useless if, at the last moment, another editor suddenly pops in and wants to start over from scratch. So for a Skype chat to be effective it would have to involve all of the active editors, editors who are spread across the globe. Rather than more words faster, could fewer words discussed more slowly succeed? That is, you putting out a question and waiting for everyone to agree to a formulation before moving on to the next point, slowly building up material with complete, explicit consensus among all active parties.  I dunno. Perhaps the some members of the MedCom could offer suggestions?    08:20
