convergence with

[Pannwitz, Michael M]

I like this, m, focus on what I, we will do.
The other stuff is just data on priorities or whatever that we might
get involved in.
That also takes the politics out of it when action is not focused on
things prioritised by the entire group but action is taken on things
that people care about regardless of the priorities.
Using dots, even the 55, Delphi Method, by the way, takes just
minutes.
Regardless of how many people or issues you have, it takes no more
than 10 minutes to distribute the dots.
The counting, even if there are 300 on a sheet and there are 50
issuses to be counted also takes no more than ten minutes (volunteer
participants do this simultaneously).
Time has not been a restraint in this.
