Revision as of 21:58, 28 June 2012 by 199.188.193.145 (talk) (adjusts list items)

This is a DRAFT that requires major INPUT

  • Premise: A decision needs to be made.
  • Step 1: Discuss at large in the group (with a time limit, and/or feedback can be gathered online instead of taking in-person meeting time)
  • Step 2: A Council takes this "raw material" and generates a proposal
  • Step 3: The Council puts the proposal to the group for amendments & voting. We can do majority vote or total consensus. If the vote is a "no", the Council goes back and drafts another proposal.
  • End Result: A decision is made
  • Note A: The "Council" could be comprised of elected representatives (or volunteers, or super-volunteers). TBD.
  • Note B: I'm seeing that the tool of "blocking" can be used in consensus voting, but some groups think of it more as a nuclear option (hence the opportunity to offer amendments and give feedback). This is something else for us to figure out.
