PROCESS: "During this phase, all team members are invited to present any objections they have, with objections being defined as what “might cause harm to the team or organization”.

In our use of Integrative Consent, should we decide to use it, we might want to alter the criteria, but for now let's use theirs:

I am willing to facilitate, but I am going to be traveling starting tomorrow (Feb 26th) and until March 11th, with very limited online availability, so I won't be able to contribute during that time. If we want to move the process forward during that time, someone else would need to facilitate.

(FWIW, in the IDM process as practiced at my current work, the proposer is also the person that integrates feedback and comes up with an updated proposal. I don't know how usual or advisable that is, this is my only experience with IDM.)

Hi Ana, thanks for being willing to facilitate! I think if we wait until you are back it might be too long? About the integration and updated proposal, I am happy to do that. I think the facilitator's job is just to help us stick to the process and to ask people if their objections are valid, is that right?

Yep, the role would be mainly to keep the process on track. I agree that waiting for two weeks is too long -- maybe someone else can facilitate, or you can do that yourself if needed @Matt Noyes .

Maybe in this case it is okay because this is a trial proposal so I am not as invested in the outcome and more interested in learning from the process. But better if someone else wants to try out facilitating...

Meta: "who expects whom to participate?" This is a key issue -- seems like this process assumes something like a team or working group trying to organize its work. My proposal left the "who" undefined... So that should be added to the process at a question to consider at the first step: "Who is expected to participate in this process? Why?"

Thanks @Mica Fisher !!!

Meta: "Should I be voting? Should I be objecting? Should I be commenting? It's all a bit overwhelming." -- The idea of this Step is that people should object and comment. So, maybe instead of "Consent, Abstain, Objection" I should have just asked for Objections?
