Colorado Lt. Gov. Gail Schoettler’s ground rules for A-LP consensus:
* Don’t attack; be positive.
* Work to develop a feeling of collaboration.
* No legal nitpicking (nervous laughter since more than half the people at the table are lawyers).
* Listen to each other carefully.
* Don’t play issues out in the press or characterize another side to the press.
* Lay disagreements with people on the table.
* Develop group press releases.
* Break-out caucuses are OK.
