RE: [gnso-vi-feb10] On harms

Roberto:
 
Mikey's document we discussed on the call was a good start and there
appeared to be sufficient buy in by list members that it would be worth
starting there I believe. Just a thought to expedite the discussion. I
am sure there will be opportunity for many alternate approaches once the
brains really begin storming. The distinction between harms from
integrating versus harms from separating I also believe is covered on
Mikeys list document.

Subject: [gnso-vi-feb10] On harms



Folks, 
This discussion about ranking harms and who is qualified to decide the
ranking is very interesting, but I wonder whether we should not start by
populating an initial list of harms.

I would recommend to start in plain brainstorming mode, i.e. to suggest
items to add to the list, and in an initial phase do not argue whether
the item proposed by a colleague is valid or important, or not.

Moreover, I would like to recommend that we list harms (or potential
harms) originating by VI, and harms (or potential harms) originating by
the current separation.

Once we have this initial list, we can start the discussion on which
items are more or less relevant. 
Just a suggestion. 
Cheers, 
Roberto
