WEAK DECISION MAKING

Straw Poll - Use this method to test support for ideas and suggested action plans [helps narrow down choices].

AO - Any Objections - Use this method to quickly get support of the group concerning decisions [good for setting up and getting agreement on the agenda and level 1 endorsements. It's also useful for finances i.e. when people need to be reimbursed for expenses or a check needs to be written.]

STRONG DECISION MAKING (DAWN Proposals)

Use Any Objections to get 100% support.
If there are objections -Discussion and then VOTE. 80% Approval Vote required per our bylaws.
