Your new terms are great, but seem more descriptive for mediators in understanding the process than words that communicate directly to the participants. So possibly, Listening without Interruption Exchange of Views Identifying Issues and Topics Developing Options Reaching Decisions I totally will accept whatever you feel is best, because you are the author and should go with your instincts and experience. I will ask my students when I see them on Thursday what they think about the language. All the best, Susan Dear Jennifer,
