Glen, It's Earnest New Englanders Getting Together. Is that a recognizable category, or do I need to say more.

But it seems to me that there's a requirement missing from your request. The missing requirement is the _purpose_ of the forum. Is it scientific, in which case, scientists are allowed to be what they normally are: skeptical of everything? Is it political, in which case, the best participants will be popularizers or public intellectuals? Is it social, in which case, there's a need for science/policy crossovers? I think filling that missing link will lead to a more effective choice of the "doubter" you seek.
