Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Disputes Committtee

[Eris Weaver (erisw]

We went through an evolution in this process. Early on in our formative
years, we created a Facilitation Committee to facilitate meetings, train
ourselves on consensus process, etc. At one point we had some issues going
on in the group and decided we need a conflict resolution process, so the
committee became the Facilitation & Conflict Resolution Committee. Then
after a while it started to feel like these were separate functions and
that half the people on the committee only  wanted to/were good at one and
not both of them. So we now have a Facilitation Committee that is in
charge of process issues for meetings, and a Conflict Prevention &
Resolution Committee (known as CPR) to deal with conflicts.
