As colleagues and I have discussed strategies for brainstorming and providing feedback to the PO task force, I'm proposing a collective outlining and drafting group to share and improve language that may ultimately be used as a position paper for the parties involved (whether PPO or some other group wants to adopt the paper can be decided later).
So this is a solicitation for interested participants to begin drafting an outline of whatever strategies you think would be appropriate for the task force to adopt. I hope to begin brainstorming a collective draft outline within two weeks and have a first draft in the works by the time the task force meets again. This may seem an ambitious effort but I feel it's better to have tried and have something than to have nothing at all. The quality of this paper is reflected by the diversity of strategies – no one could ever be expected to list all the methods – so the more people chime in with one or two concrete ideas, the more comprehensive the outline will be. Also, anyone with experience or interest in mind-mapping could be beneficial to this project – is there a wiki with this capability?
Thanks to all for being a part of this movement.
