| Decision | Who initiates? | Who needs to be consulted and how? | Who can finalize the decision? | Who needs to be informed and how? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Moving forward with an event proposal | Anyone with an idea and access to the SWMA slack* | A short proposal and emoji poll in the skillshare slack channel. We can discuss the idea in a meeting but any votes take place in slack with at least 2 days to vote. | If by the close of the vote, there are no blocks or serious concerns, and at least 5** votes in support, the proposal will move forward. | Send a message in the events channel on slack with basic information like date, time, and topic. |
| Rescheduling for a more timely event*** | Anyone with an idea and the capacity to lead the new event | The original skillshare point person should be contacted first (if not the person proposing the change); then a proposal and emoji poll in the skillshare slack channel (same as above) | If by the close of the vote, there is support for the proposal (see above) and enough time to plan the new event, the proposal will move forward. | A message announcing (a) the new event and (b) the new date/time for the original event should go out through all channels used for promoting the original event (slack, IG, flyers, planhero); if there was a sign up form, notify the registrants. |
*This initiative is still very new and a work in progress, so it’s more realistic and sustainable to stick to slack while building up the structures. Once we have a more solid flow and regular support, we hope to create a form or some other outreach method to hear from the larger community.
**This number is subject to change as the skillshare channel grows.
***If there is something happening that makes a specific skillshare/community education program feel timely or urgent, we may consider rearranging our skillshare schedule to accomodate it — if that decision is supported by consensus.
