Global Software Development (GSD) challenges current practices for requirements elicitation because some difficulties to achieve effective communication are aggravated by cultural diversity and the impossibility of having face-to-face meetings. Considering that effective communication would help reduce misunderstandings among stakeholders, and therefore help achieve more committed requirements, we propose here a methodology for global requirements elicitation focused on minimizing the most frequent problems in GSD. We introduce the proposal as well as the results of a controlled experiment, which show preliminary but promissory tendencies.
