FS will certainly work but it is also a lot of work to prepare for. I think you would get the same results (better? :-)) with the process of simply opening space once again around the dominant issues. Chris Corrigan has some material on how to do that.

My SWAG is that it'll be 100-150 conveners, maybe less. It implies 2 - 3 FS at the same time. What do you think?
