One common procedural problem which contributes to poor decision-making and dispute resolution is rushed decisions. Rushed decision processes simply do not give some parties a chance to respond to threats to their interests or develop more desirable compromise alternatives. One partial solution is to build formal deliberation requirements into the dispute resolution process. Such deliberation requirements specify the steps that have to be followed the and a minimum amount of time for the parties to participate in each step. Such requirements might, for example, specify that potentially affected parties be notified by a mail or newspaper advertisement two months before any decision can be made. Careful preparation and public review of formal impact statements might also be required.
