Documenting consensus (RE: making strategic problems concrete)

good question.

well-run working groups have chairs that are regularly assessing and
declaring working group.  These actions are recorded in meeting
minutes or on the mailing list archive.

Do we need a different, formal mechanism?

Perhaps the problem is merely that we do not train chairs to do this
enough and do not check that they are doing it?

Is this a mechanism problem or a training problem?
