Fragment of a discussion from Village pump/en

What kind of carrot did you have in mind? To me, I can only imagine a stick: ArbCom threatens to design a process that will result in a compromise if the editors don't work towards one:

In every single case, ArbCom either threatened to design a process, or threatened to exclude people who wouldn't take part in the process in a collaborative way. In this new case, ArbCom used their stick to back up one side, when they really should have used it to threaten any party who refused to sit down and negotiate.

Mind you, when 73% of participants (140 total) come down on one side... maybe ArbCom is right to recognize that differently than a 50/50 split.

What kind of "carrot" did you envision?
