Yes, and... I set myself up for that one!

Yes, these are great methodologies...

Incidentally, I do believe that honest and open critiques of ideas are a 
very important function for a standards group. So after the initial 
ideas are received enthusiastically, I believe that ideas need to be 
refined in a cauldron of spirited discussion. It's just that we don't 
need to be "brutally" honest. We should be "compassionately" honest. 
Thus, I propose that a form of ideational NVC (Non-Violent 
Communication, as developed by Marshall Rosenberg) could be used to 
engage in high energy collaborative refinement of ideas, in a way that 
demonstrates both empathy and compassion.

Hmm, I'm gonna go blog/blather about "ideational NVC" now...
