|---|---|
| You notice a problem or opportunity and take the initiative. | |
| **State the issue to be decided** <br /><br />Provide background information and open a broad ranging discussion to build shared understanding. Look for emerging proposals. | Start a Loomio thread <br /><br />Name the topic of discussion in the thread title, and what you hope to achieve. <br /><br />Attach or link to background information. Invite people to ask questions, contribute information and write comments. |
| **Present a proposal** <br /><br />Test for consensus. | Run a **Sense check proposal**. <br /><br />*In the title:* Name the proposal. <br /><br />*In the proposal details:* Clearly frame the proposal and say why it is important. Include any background information necessary and a link to the proposal. <br /><br />Invite everyone to respond, and to do so before the proposal closes. |
| **Present a proposal** <br /><br />Test for consensus. | Run a [Sense check proposal](https://help.loomio.com/en/user_manual/polls/proposals/index.html#sense-check). <br /><br />*In the title:* Name the proposal. <br /><br />*In the proposal details:* Clearly frame the proposal and say why it is important. Include any background information necessary and a link to the proposal. <br /><br />Invite everyone to respond, and to do so before the proposal closes. |
| **Amendment** <br /><br />Discuss, clarify and amend the proposal. <br /><br />Seek to understand and resolve any objections. <br /><br />Invite people objecting to to propose a constructive and practical modification to the proposed decision or course of action. | Facilitate discussion in the thread to address concerns and modify the proposal. |
| **Agreement** <br /><br />Do you have an agreement? Check for: <br /><br />Agreement: I support the proposal. <br /><br />Abstain: This decision does not affect me and I am happy with whatever the group decides. <br /><br />Disagreement: Something in the proposal needs to be changed before I can support it. <br /><br />Block: I have a fundamental disagreement with the proposal that cannot be resolved. | Run a **Consensus proposal** with the current proposal version. <br /><br />*In the title:* Name the decision to be made. <br /><br />*In the proposal details:* Present the proposal and invite people to vote. <br /><br />Include a clear statement of what agreement means, say 'for this proposal to pass, we need everyone to vote agree' or 'for this proposal to pass, we need 75% of members to agree'. <br /><br />Ask participants to leave a vote 'Reason' - and if they do not agree to say why, and what needs to change for them to agree. <br /><br />Some organizations also use the Block (or veto) voting option. <br /><br />As voting progresses, respond to comments, post updates, close early, or let the proposal run to conclusion. <br /><br />Participants can *“change vote”* up to proposal close time, say in response to new information that arrives during voting. |

| **Outcome** <br /><br />State if agreement was reached and the decision that has been made. <br /><br />Implement the decision and plan actions to be taken. | Consider voting results and state the decision made. <br /><br />Summarize results of the process and say what will happen next. <br /><br />If results are inconclusive, you may choose to re-open the discussion and run a new proposal. <br /><br />The outcome statement is an important record of the decision for future reference. |
