Offer an idea, have it accepted, and only then do you have fairness in any coopetative effort.
Makes sense.
Also
as with any contract, which is by definition a legit offer plus a legit acceptance, you get motivation and responsibility on all sides.

Lead By Listening
Counterintuitively, as when attempting to evolve from 3 to 4, especially when attempting to nurture group evolution, wise speakers should speak their mind last, first soliciting creative ideas, first listening to their audience. At meeting's end the sage on the stage can be the guide on the side, among equals.
Carefully and thoughtfully and specifically recognizing and praising the goodness of good ideas, thank each individual offering the ideas. It's the demonstrable value of the idea that matters, not the favor of the speaker.
Thinking Cap Network
For broad lateral thinking as well as deep insightful thinking among the whole group, I'd recommend the Edward de Bono "6 Thinking Hats" method.
Among other things, it let's everybody stay on the same page, and everybody decides what a successful meeting outcome would look like right from the start.
You may discover many other benefits to the "6 Hats." Let your methods co-evolve with you.
And notice that a transition from 1-->5 is also a transition from passenger mentality to pilot mentality.
Agreement Governance
Lluvias,
Yes, cool, far out, right on, yes.
"...consent of the governed..."
I hear you.
