I think there's also some more basic mistrust and bad feeling 
developing in the group, too. I think a) that this IS an urgent 
matter, and b) there's more than one way we can address this, 
besides more meetings. Even ones with really good procedure.

I'll admit my proposal develops out of a certain avant garde 
approach to politics, which might not make sense to some folks, and 
so I'd ask you to suspend your cyncism for a bit (in the spirit of 
working together in a respectful way).

But I take your point about time for urgent matters next meeting, 
so the games experiment can be postponed.
