** Feedback from Anthony
*** context is that conflict resolution felt less satisfactory
*** the process dragged on, needed to be more timely
*** wants some one to be responsible for keeping track of each step of the process
*** In the same way that the facilitator or exchequer exist to keep an eye on process
** attributes little to the conflict resolution process being a first time it was implemented
*** and we can't anticipate on that experience
**** process should not be based on informal opinions, but based on documentation
** Tom: Using small numbers of people is always preferable.
** Ray: Suggestion for conflict resolution trainings.
** Oracle: will send some notes and a possible resolution via email
*** have communal peace maker in each group
*** once a month core group outings to build consciousness on working together
** Hol: willing to try it out :)
** Anthony: point person can help people identify who to speak with when they have a problem
** Xavier: suggestion for process to go around the room for a particular conflict and identify the person who is least invested in it. that person could be a facilitator. also suggestion to require conflict resolution training and/or knowledge of the conflict resolution process as a prerequisite of membership.
* creation of the constabulary role
** the point person who is responsible for facilitating the conflict resolution process, but not necessarily the moderator.
