A "proposal" is any detailed change plan for the platform or for how the Collective focuses its efforts and resources. Example proposals include: creating a requester onboarding process, a concrete change to the task design interface, an update the worker feedback process, a new process for onboarding new members, a suggestion that the Collective begin holding town halls biweekly with workers, or a decision on whether we should send a delegate to attend a conference or respond to a media inquiry. All proposals must be made through our tool (TBA). Submitting a proposal indicates a commitment to engage with any deliberation about the proposal and the problem it is solving, join the execution of the proposal, and join any efforts understanding and addressing to the proposal's downstream implications on workers, requesters, and the Collective.

Consensus does not mean that the decision is everybody's top choice: it means that it is the one that everyone can agree to go with. If a member of the Collective wants to raise issues with a proposal, they can break consensus, indicating that they do not support the proposal in its current form. Once the consensus-seeking process has moved forward and the person has been convinced or the proposal has been improved, that person can indicate that they now support the consensus. Likewise, if members feel they are not fully knowledgeable about the context of the proposal, they can seek this information from the submitter. @@ -43,7 +43,7 @@ There is a weekly deadline for achieving consensus on the proposal, currently We 2.
