"Too much rigidity can stifle creativity - certainly one of the most
exciting aspect of collaborative practice." Here, here!! Nora. I agree
totally.

Given the facts that you presented, I think that you should just do what
seems reasonable and only be concerned if something in the process starts to
feel "bad" - you know that feeling that you get in your gut when something
just isn't right. You probably have some members of your group that you
trust, or perhaps they have served as mentors in the past. Why not talk
with them and process the situation. You seem to be on the right track
anyway by putting this out there for comment on the list/serve.
Overall I believe that it is a good idea in all cases to be flexible in our
approach. I don't think that protocols can, nor should they try to, address
every situation. This is one reason why I believe that protocols should
only be "suggested guidelines". Too much rigidity can stifle creativity -
certainly one of the most exciting aspect of collaborative practice.
Collaborative Regards,
