Shuttle Diplomacy Decision Checklist and Session Planning Template
A field-ready toolkit for mediators deciding whether to use shuttle diplomacy and how to run it. A five-factor scoring tool covers conflict escalation, communication breakdown, power differential, cultural barriers, and safety to determine whether shuttle format is appropriate. The remaining sections provide session planning templates, a confidentiality protocol, a GROUNDS phase tracker, interest mapping worksheets, a proposal tracker, and a joint-session readiness assessment.
