I've a multi-party interaction design up on the wiki.
(Reachable via the "Misc" section of the Data Management
Tasks page.)

I can't say the document is particularly clear.
If you find yourself having trouble you may want to
just wait for me to explain it via phone call.
Note that this extends the current interaction design
to handle multi-party interactions, so the all current
interactions would use this structure as well.
Basic idea: Record multi-party interactions pairwise,
and lump the pairs together to make them multi-party.
Sorta like the data collection is described in the
mointoring guide.
There is no multi-party-interaction actor_actees
diagram available. It'd be the current actor_actees
but also joined with the INTERACTIONS table. (Left
outer joined because there might be no related
INTERACTIONS row.)
