Enabling the initiators to accept and apply amendments and adjustments during the discussion will make it possible to develop a proposal into a document approveable by the vast majority of occupants. This tactic will bring us closer to true consensus, and increase the likelihood of more clearly defining ourselves, while avoiding the loss of good proposals due to … Continued
