It is certainly worth a try. The major question, I think would be
sufficient time and space. Time -- so folks could have a real discussion,
and space -- so they don't trample each other in the process. Given both
time and space, I would think about 2-3 simultaneous OS's in different
spaces -- on the same theme. In similar situations we have used
computers/Internet to connect the several spaces. As issues are posted in
any space, they are posted in all. When reports are generated, they are
available in all. Obviously, this requires both the equipment and the
expertise to get it done. If you don't have either (equipment and
expertise) seems to me you suggestion would work as well as any.
