Donna, finally read this.  It's great.  The consensus building part really
grabbed me.  Just because there is "consensus" among a self-selected group
doesn't mean their decision is a sound one, or good for the environment, or
even "fair to all parties."  You have probably heard of the Quincy Library
Group in CA, whose "consensus" process really involves local timber companies
doing a snowjob on some naiive, well-intentioned folk (my interpretation).  

Happy New Year,
Jane
