== On decision panels and procedures ==
 +
 +
A Decision Panel 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.
 +
 +
Do we need any new communications tools or lists for this?  Here is my proposal: 
 +
 +
# we carry out a discussion directly on the sugar list, with a subject tag such as '[SOAS DP]'
 +
# 1-2 people volunteer to moderate the public discussion, asking people to chime in (or take side-discussions to separate threads) as needed. 
 +
# we gather people's ideas, needs, and suggestions, and someone records progress reaching conclusions on the SL wiki
 +
# 1-2 people volunteer to edit these conclusions into a thorough report, also on that wiki
 +
# we approve the final report (hopefully by consensus) and submit it to the SLOB
