Abstract: Abstract An agreed-upon districting plan typically evolves through successive refinements of alternative plan options. This chapter illustrates how to streamline the public process of discussion and choice among alternative approaches to forming districts. Shaping strategic direction initially can help foster agreement upon an acceptable approach, narrowing the focus thereafter to variants that implement that approach. Doing so at strategic points can expedite convergence upon a few specific variants of that agreed-upon approach.
