Demonstration proposal Closed Tue 28 Feb 2017
This is a proposal, where you can make a decision together. You can start a proposal once a discussion is underway.
Everyone is asked to state a position by the deadline. You can extend the deadline if you need to, or close a proposal early.
You can change your position while the proposal is open. You might reconsider your view as you listen to others.
Sometimes groups work through a series of proposals to build solutions together. You can raise sequential proposals in this thread.

good idea to try this before it really makes a difference to a vote!

When we have a proposal, you can change your vote up until the deadline.

How can you easily check what the proposal is and what the deadline is?
Averil Glencross Tue 28 Feb 2017
My apologises I have been out of circulation. How do I see what the proposal was? I understand that I am too late to vote.

Hi Averil - this was just a demonstration to get used to voting mechanism. There wasn't any proposal so you are not too late.
