This is a shared knowledge commons on our options to make decisions with Sudo Room. This may be more complicated than options for Income, so a template is provided, feel free to reject the template and use a free-form response below.
Current Decision-Making
At a meetup, we arbitrarily decided to use this interim process for making decisions until we formalize a draft of our membership and governance model, which will require more critical insight (see #Decision-Making Options).
- Non-binding votes at weekly meetup for all in attendance! (Includes dissenting opinions for valuable insights.)
- Post of minutes and votes on e-mail list! (For watching, feedback, inclusion.)
- Authoritative documentation of paths and steps on the wiki! (The ultimate storage of our shared knowledge and work.)
Decision-Making Options
What kinds of decisions need to be made?
Options:
- Membership Do we have it? If so, what are the levels/ benefits/ rules of engagement & expectations? :*
- Project Endorsement. When does SudoRoom attach its name and "backing" to a project, if ever?
- Governance Structure How do we make decisions on behalf of SudoRoom? Are financially-concerned decisions different or do they involve a different group of people vs. other kinds?
- Activities (non-hacking). Will SudoRoom have speakers/ events/ classes? What system or structure do we put in place to facilitate this? Do others need to agree on any aspects of these "extracurricular" activities?
- META and BUSINESS decisions
- Rent? Utilities? Insurance? Liabilities? Changes to group structure? Dissolution?
- (other response)
Who makes decisions?
Options:
- All parties interested in (or affected by?) the topic being decided upon
- All members
- All space users
- Another subset of users
How are these decisions made (by what process)?
Options:
- Member Consensus
- Delegated Proxy Voting
- Anything but Majority Vote. For simple decisions that don't need a formal process (e.g. what movie to watch during the next movie night), consider using Approval Voting (e.g. use check boxes rather than radio buttons).
- (response)
Where and when are these decisions made?
Options:
- Online (proposals and concerns?)
- Weekly meetings (agenda and discussion?)
- delay/schedule for introduction & decision making, allowing for asynchronous discussion
