"Stakeholder Consent & Integration" Protocol

Protocol Purpose

To manage the high-stakes process of making a major community decision that significantly impacts different groups in unequal ways (e.g., siting a new building, apportioning a large resource, changing a core rule). This is where representation is most tested and conflict over "standing" can erupt.

Protocol Process
  • Stakeholder Mapping & Initiation: The Bridge Builder and Invitation Weaver work together to identify all individuals and groups affected by the proposal, ensuring no one is overlooked.
  • Structured Deliberation: The Participatory Process Designer facilitates a multi-stage process. This begins in small, affected groups facilitated by Capacity Allies, then moves to a larger assembly where the Weaving Host maintains civility.
  • Modified Consent Process: The decision is not made by mere majority vote. Instead, the focus is on achieving consent from all stakeholder groups. The question is: "Do you, as a represented group, consent to this proposal moving forward, given the safeguards in place?"
  • Integration of Objections: If a group withholds consent, the Appeals & Grievance Companion facilitates a focused negotiation between them and the proposal's advocates, mediated by the Participatory Process Designer, to integrate their concerns and amend the proposal.
  • Ratification or Return: The revised proposal is presented for final consent. If achieved, it is ratified. If not, it is returned to the drawing board, and the process is documented as a learning experience in the Commons.
