In my opinion it will take at least another few months (years?) to
reach any agreement (if at all) if we continue at the current pace. If
we agree on a short (but sufficiently long slot), the idea is to force
anyone to reach the agreement within the designated 90 minutes and
volunteer for / delegate the work that's needed to actually implement
the solution. Plus discuss which things will be implemented and which
ones not.

We could decide on any way to proceed. Some are more correct than the
others, but require maybe 100 times more work, others use compromises.
I would be glad if we could meet shortly in a not too distant future
and decide what would work best.
