In those cases, document the  results of the analysis, record the opinions of the dissenters, and deliver the results to the  decision-maker. Safety and Technical Training encourages dissenting SRM panel members to  provide their own rationale and data for why their severity and/or likelihood determination differs  from that of the other SRM panel participants. The SRM panel facilitator must mediate and assist SRM panel members in working through  differences of opinion. The facilitator should be able to recognize, acknowledge, and use  differences of opinion to help the SRM panel consider different points of view.
