Are you trying to characterize good decisions, or cases in which good decision making took place, or good decision making processes, or good things to do if you are participating in decision making? From your bullet items, it appears that you mean the latter.
But what reason do you have for thinking that having everyone adhere to these practices would lead to good decisions? Are you really interested in good decisions, or rather do you merely wish everyone involved to have a good time and feel good about themselves later?
You mention an evolutionary process to improve your initial list of good practices. How would you know whether this process is going in the right direction? What exactly is the objective here?
Do you really think that the problem in collective decision making is to get the participants to reason well? Isn’t it also necessary that they listen to learn each others interests as well as each others arguments? That they somehow first come to a consensus as to what balance of interests should be sought before they try to determine rationally how best to achieve those ends?
Downvoted. I thought you did better the first time when I couldn’t quite see what your point was.
