Some of the best architectural work we've done at the company was implemented more like a research paper. Have a central document, write down the current knowledge about an outage, or the current proposal - and improve on that through comments, revisions and discussion. And then you can still have a meeting or a call if a non-obvious decision needs to be made, or if clarification and explanation of something is needed.
