Actually, Stuart, there is already an entire network in existence called
ConflictNet which deals with many of these things all the time. It is a
part of IGC, which also runs my provider, EcoNet. I personally don't know
that much about ConflictNet, but they do have a web page at
http://www.igc.apc.org/
if you want to check it out...

If that isn't specific enough for you, talk to them; I'm sure they'd be
way into starting a consensus conference if they don't already have one.
