Hi, That is what I am imagining when I mean have a meeting, suggesting that maybe we should try a different communication medium that can be facilitated more rapidly.
I was thinking an IRC meeting would be more beneficial than email because email is hard to moderate. In IRC, there are more easily applicable tools to use for managing tricky conversations. For example, a meeting can start with everyone having voice +v mode (and channel with +m mode) and we can set boundaries to say "please don't do XYZ". Then, if someone impulsively breaks the rule, a set of chosen level headed moderator(s) can revoke the offending user's voice for 5 mins, 10 mins, permanently based on severity, etc. These moderators do not have to be CC. All of their mode set actions are public and logged in the same channel which is convenient. Agenda can be in phases. Not one meeting would solve all problems. But in this way I am thinking we can encapsulate and redirect tough conversations to real time discussion and maybe make more progress one small item at a time. I see it this way (hypothetical as an example), (1) Weekly email threads about problems -> chain emails that take mental bandwidth every day to get through -> 1-2 hours lost daily (2) Scheduled meeting cadence for people to vent, discuss concerns -> 1 concentrated hour every 2 weeks With (2) people can have time to buffer and better articulate thoughts in between meetings, and if moderated on IRC impulsive behavior can be addressed right away. It also gives a chance to set agendas. For example if one person has a proposal we can block out time for it and dedicate it to questions/answers. I am sorry some of these problems are out of scope for me but I am just trying to suggest different ways to handle conflict resolution that might yield results.
