Hi All, I'm in conversation with a large membership organization about using participatory methods at their delegate convention. For the past 50 conventions they have used Robert's Rules of Order for their decision making. They fully realize just how tedious and antiquated a process that is and they are eager to open the dialogue during the business meeting. But they are understandably concerned about the impact of engaging in high engagement processes such as AI Interviews, World Cafe discussions and Open Space Technology meetings and then switching to something so linear and formal as Robert's Rules for voting on the proposals before the delegate body. I'm hoping for stories of membership organizations that have successfully used something other than Robert's Rules as the decision making process. I've just begun checking into Roberta's Rules of Order and would welcome those examples, as well. Thanks in advance for any examples. I will compile the results and feed them back. Warmly from cooling Phoenix, Christine Christine Whitney Sanchez CWS - Collaborative Wisdom & Strategy 2717 E.
