# Integrative Decision Making Proposal

We need to agree on processes of decision making internally to setup/change collective expectations. I propose [Integrative Decision Making](https://medium.com/org-hacking/holacracys-integrative-decision-making-process-f750d4b82abc) (IDM) process.

IDM is developed for self-organized environment but optimized for speed & efficiency. The core principle is consent (nobody objects), instead of consensus (all support) for setting expectations

Expectations can take forms of a) policy – rule that limits freedom in specific situations (don’t litter) b) roles accountabilities – to do prescriptions for a person holding this roles (secretary does meeting minutes) and c) domains – objects under control of some role (domain “funds” for directorship, domain “website” for communications etc).

Anybody can raise an expectations setup/change on the group meetings, with the IDM routine processed by the facilitator by the next steps:

1. Present Proposal — proposer describes the problem that she saw and the solution she proposes
2. Clarifying Questions — anyone can ask clarifying questions. Proposer can answer. No reactions or dialog allowed.
3. Reaction Round — each person can react to the proposal as they see fit. No discussion or responses.
4. Amend & Clarify — proposer can optionally clarify the intent or amend the proposal based on reactions. No discussion allowed.
5. Objection Round — The Facilitator asks each person in turn: ”Do you see any reasons why adopting this proposal would cause harm or move us backwards?” (an “Objection”). Objections are stated, tested, and captured without discussion; the proposal is adopted if none surface.
6. Integration — The goal is to craft an amended proposal that would not cause the Objection, but that would still address the proposer’s problem. Focus on each Objection, one at a time. Once all are integrated, go through another Objection Round.

If the proposal passes secretary should move the decision to the “Roles & Policies” doc, from meeting minutes.

Expectation not set in “Roles & Policies” doc are not valid.<br>
