Point of order: We are not debating to achieve consensus recommendations - we are offering opinions. On the Conflicted board, more than any other board, we are comparing and contrasting options and offering perspectives. It's up to the OP to net them out into a recommended action.
Ideally, the OP (general statement) reads all the various opinions and nets out what he/she is hearing to acknowledge the participating members efforts, shares what is helping, what is challenging, what he wants more information on.
2.1 Collegium, Not Debate: bpdfamily.com is set up as a collegium. We follow a Collegial Discussion format which is characterized as having "authority" vested equally among colleagues/peers.
