Part of the Collective decision-making area.
Accord. All mandates, role holders, and decision records are accessible to anyone in the network. Every group that adopts this protocol maintains a logbook – a coherent, accessible record of its agreements, domain descriptions, role selections, and governance decisions. Every agreement in the logbook records: the need or driver it responds to, the decision itself, who is accountable for its implementation, evaluation criteria, and a review date. When the full Collective decision-making cluster is adopted, these logbooks become the visible record of a circle's governance. This governs the relationship between those who decide and those affected by decisions, ensuring that authority is always visible and that agreements are always revisable.
Ritual. Shared orientation metaphors: the network and its circles develop figurative, embodied expressions of shared direction – not analytical targets but images and phrases that speak to the whole person. These keep shared purpose alive as felt commitment rather than abstract mission statement.
Critique & Contemplation. Regular narrative review: examine the narratives embedded in our decision-making practices. Are our processes reproducing the paradigm of separation, or enacting interconnectedness?
