Each person considers what changes she wishes to make to the group list in the light of the whole group list. Small groups compare the list of top items on the group list to those on the whole group list. This is done as follows. Add to the group list those items from the whole group list which the group previously omitted, but is prepared to accept. The purpose of this report is not to persuade others to their point of view, but to present evidence which they think others may have overlooked.
Groups report back.
Their revised lists are displayed without comment. Each group in turn displays its sheet of evidence and speaks briefly to it. Each group report is followed by a brief session of questions for clarification only. Strict time limits are enforced. If these reporting-back sessions become too time consuming, they not only prolong the activity, but may begin to bore some participants.
