'''Context:''' We need to decide how decisions are formulated, consented to, documented, and reviewed in Organizing Circle. We need this process to be transparent, participatory, and nimble enough to respond to changing needs. | |||

'''Proposal:''' Proposals undergo four basic phases: | |||
# ''Scoped'' - proposals will be scoped (identifying the problem) on Organizing Circle calls with possible feedback from Loomio threads. Loomio threads may include the General Recap thread, topical subcircle or topical general threads. The group should strive to collect feedback from everyone affected by the issue. The result of this should be a clear problem statement to provide context for the decision. | |||
# ''Formulation'' - Possible solutions for the scoped problem will primarily be discussed on Organizing Circle calls with possible additional ideas on Loomio thread. Loomio threads may include the General Recap thread, topical subcircle or topical general threads. The group should strive to collect feedback from everyone affected by the issue and possible solutions. The result of this should be a broad list of possible solutions from which a specific proposal can be crafted. | |||
# ''Proposal'' - From the formulation discussion the facilitator (or circle appointed proxy) will craft a proposal Loomio thread that will be posted to the Organizing Circle subgroup for consent. This should provide context, specific text for the proposal, and a term for review; it may also include a metric to measure success of the proposal. Organizing Circle members will be asked to consent to the proposal and the period of consent will include one meeting so that folks can be reminded of open proposals. | |||
# ''Documentation'' - Proposals will be documented on the Organizing Circle Log page on the wiki sorted by review date and linked to their Loomio threads. Where possible reviews will happen on the original Loomio thread. Reviews will go through the same process of the original proposal to ensure the policy is still relevant (scoping - formulation - proposal - documentation). | |||
