The outcome of an intercultural negotiation often depends on the affinity that each negotiator feels with his or her peers. We take as given that the process of gaining membership within a professional community or discipline is one of acculturation. Cross-disciplinary committee meetings, wherein multiple experts from different specialties must negotiate a joint decision, are therefore intercultural negotiations. This paper presents a computational methodology for generating social networks from transcripts of such committee meetings, using medical device approval meetings within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a data source.
