Asker/Responder Chain

The A/R Chain is a online communication protocol to help groups deal with emotionally-charged situations when there isn’t a neutral moderator they all trust.

Asker/Responder Protocol

1. Asker asks Responder:
   1. What are you seeing? (Perceptions)
   2. What are you feeling? (Reactions)
   3. What do you want/wish for? (Aspirations)
2. Asker comments using “I like/I wonder”
3. Responder elaborates (and Asker comments, etc.)
4. Asker asks Responder: “Are you done?”
5. When yes, Responder becomes the next Asker
