| | 3 | Most decisions are made by individuals working together on specific projects for Tachanka in the manner that is most appropriate for the situation. Those decisions that affect the collective as a whole may be made by using the following process: |
| | 4 | |
| | 5 | 1. All proposals should be made to the tachanka-collective mailing list ''and'' posted as a [https://aerosan.tachanka.org/newticket ticket] on the wiki. The email subject should begin with the word "proposal" followed by a numeric identifier corresponding to the ticket number, and nothing else. The proposing member may withdraw the proposal at any time during the decision-making period. |
| | 6 | 2. Our goal is to reach consensus on all decisions; however, our process of decision making is by voting, as follows: |
| | 7 | * The proposal is passed if it is approved by 1/3 (rounding up) of collective members; and, |
| | 8 | * There are no negative votes. |
| | 9 | 3. We have a time limit of two weeks for proposals, after this point the proposal is dropped if there not enough positive votes. |
| | 10 | 4. The decision-making time is automatically increased on the request of any member, if they give a reason for the extension and a specific date for the new deadline. |
| | 11 | 5. Only members of the collective who are active at the time that a proposal is made can support or block that proposal. |
| | 12 | 6. Proposals that have been accepted are posted onto the wiki with a brief summary of discussions, and numbers of abstentions and supporters. This is the responsibility of the original proposer. |
| | 13 | 7. Unapproved proposals can be re-submitted after 6 months |
