The England and Wales Green Party in the 1980s  took a lot of Quaker business method and applied it to their conferences. They called it 'Other Ways of Working'. Unfortunately, they have been lost int he mists of time, but they included silence for a minut's relfection at the beginning of sessions to give people the chance to consider their goals and relationship with the group, the chair calling for silent reflection (or table-talk) for a few minutes if discussion got heated, respect for minority opinion as enriching the group, and a whole load of other practices. As a Quaker Green Party member I of course like this thread.
