What should be considered and held here and now, vs. what belongs at another time and place?
Groups use vernacular such as "bike rack," "parking lot," "small enough to fit in a box" to denote what belongs in the present conversational space and when to draw an Appropriate Boundary to move a discussion to a different time or place.
Placeholder quote: "The IETF is all about the creation of Spaces for Dialogue and Collaboration [WD79]. A significant part of achieving that goal is a keen discernment of what does not belong in a given space but needs to be moved elsewhere. We call this a group proprioception. This discernment allows each space to remain focused on its scope of work and the mandate, as it were, for that space while providing a mechanism by which off-topic concerns may be moved into an appropriate space."

Possibly also related, if I'm getting your gist:
Trajectory, Setting Intention
Right Size Bite, Seasoned Timing
I've been playing with a Right Person in Right Role card which has a similar feel, and what you're describing also has that feel, wanting to get items to the most on-topic, in-capacity, likely-to-be-well-addressed space/time (including a parking lot, but with some system to make sure those are gotten to as needed).
More generally:
I definitely see something pattern-y here that is not already in the cards. I might be tempted to fit it into Setting Intention rather than add a new card.
When I saw "Group Proprioception" what came to my mind is a possible group-level stigmergic "group sensory input" — if that makes sense. It relates to the stigmergy-dialogue spectrum which has become important in how I see/understand systems, I forget if we've talked about it at all. ("Stigmergy" came out of research on insect collaboration.)
I haven't yet sat with the subset of permaculture cards the IETF paper drew on, I would love to sometime, both to understand the work better and perhaps to point us to patterns we may want to add. I'm looking for more partners on hosting a nice WikiBirthday (the 30th!) on March 25th online, which might be a space big enough to include things like the IETF paper and Internet/web generally. :-)
