  • 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.
