== ~~On decision panels and procedures~~ ==

== Procedures ==

A Decision Panel (DP) is expected to solicit community input, discuss (in private if necessary), reach a conclusion internally, and produce a report documenting it. Anyone may submit advice to the panel. Decision Panels should be given a time deadline by SLOB.

Procedures:

# DP ~~carrys~~ out a discussion directly on the ~~sugar list~~, with a subject tag such as '[SOAS DP]'

# DP carries out a discussion directly on a public mailing list (i.e., iaep or sugar-devel or both, depending upon the topic), with a subject tag such as '[SOAS DP]'.

# ~~1-2~~ DP members volunteer to moderate the public discussion, asking people to chime in (or take side-discussions to separate threads) as needed.

# 1–2 DP members volunteer to moderate the public discussion, asking people to chime in (or take side-discussions to separate threads) as needed.

# DP gathers people's ideas, needs, and suggestions, and a DP member records progress towards conclusions on the SL wiki
