"Members may operate on their own initiative based on pre-established policy (areas of activity, scope of working groups, terms of service, codes of conduct, moderation policies, etc.), but any new issue that affects other members should be brought before the appropriate working group, and any policy changes must be brought before the full group before implementation. Working groups are encouraged to make proposals among themselves to determine consensus and operate within their scope of responsibility, but only proposals passed by the full group may be considered binding for Social.coop. Any member may make a proposal to the full group, though it is encouraged to first discuss matters within the appropriate working group." - from [[bylaws]]

Social.coop has several working groups: [[Tech Working Group|Tech]], [[Community Working Group|Community]], [[Finance Working Group|Finance]], [[Legal Working Group|Legal]], and an [[Organizing Circle]] that coordinates and supports their work. (The Community Working Group also has an Ops Team that handles registration and moderation.) If you have an idea about a tech issue, you may want to contact members of the Tech Working Group. If your idea is about moderation policy, you can reach out to the [[Community Working Group Ops Team|Community Working Groups Ops Team]], etc. (how does one do this? Tech is in a matrix chat, we link to ) - if not sure take it to the Organizing Circle. You can find members of the OC here [link] (You might think that contacting @admin@social.coop would be a good first step, but it is seldom monitored, and more often used just for announcements, so please contact working group members instead!)
