I'd like to know what formal mechanisms folks have for handling interpersonal disputes. Suppose (more or less hypothetically), consensus is being blocked because somebody doesn't like the proposer of the idea, or a committee is failing to meet and do its work because some of the members can't get along, or two people in the community are constantly sniping at each other, or folks are getting messily divorced in the middle of the community; what do you do? At N St., all our mechanisms for dealing with this kind of thing are entirely informal - individuals who notice and who care may try to mediate the problem. But sometimes nothing is done, or the problem is not recognized. Certainly, we have no set procedures for handling it. I've heard that other communities have committees for worrying about these kinds of issues, but I only have a vague idea of how this works in practice. What does your community/group do? Does it really work? Stuart. N St. Cohousing stanifor [at] cs.ucdavis.edu http://everest.cs.ucdavis.edu/~stanifor/home.html
