Bernie Mayer replied to ADRhub.com- Werner Institute's discussion Beyond The Town Hall: Online Tools For Engaging the Public"This is a fascinating discussion. As someone who has facilitated many public input and dialogue processes, I see many interesting upsides for ODR in this arena. But in keeping with Ryan's very interesting observations and the…"
Bernie Mayer replied to Noam Ebner's discussion Beware the Dark Side?"I have really enjoyed the comments in this discussion. Three issues here seem to be percolating throughout:
Courage
Responsibility
Purpose
A brief take on each:
Courage. I sometimes think it is less important…"
Noam Ebner replied to Bernie Mayer's discussion Surprise: A New Coalition Government in Israel!"Not to beat a dead horse, and not to say I-told-you-so, but I couldn't not raise this. Yesterday, the Israeli government coalition that sparked this conversation fell apart, 70 days after its forming.
Peace, meanwhile, was not made (or…"
Bernie Mayer replied to Noam Ebner's discussion Beware the Dark Side?"What to Do About Emotions?
During one of my very first divorce mediations—over thirty years ago (ok, Bernie enough of the “I have been doing this forever” stuff)—in an intense moment in the negotiations,…"
Noam Ebner replied to Bernie Mayer's discussion Surprise: A New Coalition Government in Israel!"Well, an old approach if you count Ariel Sharon's unilateral pullout of Gaza in 2005 (and, to a lesser extent, Ehud Barak's own unilateral withdrawal from South Lebanon in 2000). Policy papers are obviously going back and forth, but I…"
Bernie Mayer replied to Bernie Mayer's discussion Surprise: A New Coalition Government in Israel!"This sure puts the the playoffs (NHL and NBA) in perspective. Still the new government is working on changing the map it appears. Your defense minister, Ehud Barack, is proposing imposing a border on Palestine. A first step in a new…"

Noam Ebner replied to Bernie Mayer's discussion Surprise: A New Coalition Government in Israel!"It really does look as if Mr. Friedman does my copywriting for me, or vice-versa…
That aside, what did I tell you? Less than a week gone by, and the MidEast has seen it all:
A bloodbath in Syria, and Koffi Anan on the ground…"
Bernie Mayer replied to Bernie Mayer's discussion Surprise: A New Coalition Government in Israel!"Birds spying on agriculture? What an interesting idea. I would have thought they would be more useful as agents of fertilization rather than espionage. At any rate, I will respond to your rather discouraging take on this soon, but…"
Noam Ebner replied to Bernie Mayer's discussion Surprise: A New Coalition Government in Israel!"Good for you and your son! My daughter has just hit the high school matriculation exams here, and we’re all biting out fingernails…
I hope I’m given reason to eat my hat, but still: I think that most of the power Netanyahu has…"
Bernie Mayer replied to Bernie Mayer's discussion Surprise: A New Coalition Government in Israel!"The negotiation is over, the conflict begins.
First an apology for not responding sooner. My lame explanation is that last weekend was my son’s graduation from the Iowa Writer’s Workshop, followed immediately by a trip to…"
Noam Ebner replied to Bernie Mayer's discussion Surprise: A New Coalition Government in Israel!"This was, indeed, a huge surprise Bernie – a political coup that is usually impossible to pull off in Israel. Israel is smaller than New Jersey, and everybody has a cousin who works somewhere and knows what is going on – and everyone…"
