Step C: (10 -15 minutes) 1. Go through each item on the list to discuss it for clarification and understanding. 2. The facilitator should pace the group so that all the items get attention, although each item may not necessarily be discussed. 3. In the clarification discussion let people know they do not have to agree with each other but they should be able to understand what is intended by the idea. 4. The person who suggested an idea should not be put on the spot to defend the idea but rather to simply explain it further if someone doesn't understand how it applies. S. Do not combine two items unless both members who suggested the two items agree. This helps preserve the value of each person's suggestion. Step D: (10 -15 minutes) 1. Remind each person they have five rank ordered votes in the form of colored dots. ________ is worth five points and should be used for a vote on the most important issues. _______ is worth four points. __________ is worth three points. _________ is worth two points, and ______ is worth one point. 2. Ask each person to vote on the top five issues by placing their dots beside the ones they think are most important, in order of importance. 3. The two facilitators will quickly tally the votes and on a new sheet of newsprint will list the issues in order of importance according to the group vote. 4. If time allows, discuss the results of the voting with the group. Are there any particular points that should be made in reporting the results to the whole group when we reconvene? * Source: Delbecq, Andre L., Van de Ven, Andrew H., & Gustafson, David H. (1975).
