Do we need agreements to facilitate? After 30+ years of facilitating thousands of groups, I argue that agreements are a vital tool in any facilitator's toolbox.

you both know that #federation only works with reliable #agreements. And #feature creep will lead to heat-death eventually. Push or slow down, you decide.

When facilitating, I prefer the words agreements or covenants, not ground rules. Why? Because ground rules are handed down from on high.

#China has a number of pre-existing defence and commercial #Agreements with #Iran that allows them freedom of navigation through #hormuzstrait . The fact that Chinese oilers are sailing through unchallenged is a testament to Iran’s stranglehold on the said straight despite #USN and #tRump’s rhetoric as well as US fears of dragging China into their self-owned conflict.
