Points of Process
(from GayShameSF)

o We will take time to make sure that everyone is informed before making consensus decisions. After reaching consensus we will inform everyone at future meetings who haven’t been present.

o We will develop an organized process that allows and encourages everyone to speak, but is not so rigid that it restricts creativity.
