Well, we could at least pick topics to discuss and perhaps pick a few times to discuss each one - like for example, we'll discuss ballot issue 553 at 7 AM PT, 1 PM PT and 2 AM PT. But, unless there will be some *output* for the discussion, like we will take votes at those times and if enough people vote "yes" then we will include them on the ballot. (definition of "enough" should be decided first) Also, someone from the OGB should be present at each "official" meeting time to help moderate teh discussion would be good. I think this is doable, but it is the chaos we have now that is turning people away. I've heard others saying they wouldn't even bother to attend because they knew it would be chaos.

That would give the community facilitator something to work with.
