I'd suggest not trying to change him. Instead, enable him.

Let him share his ideas a way he feels more comfortable (maybe an RFC/document write up he can share via email/slack, etc).

i second this approach, it's a good practice to meet people where they are at and as it is an "open minded" environment, this should be the expectation, not a conformity to the norm.
