Should YOUNGO use Loomio to make some decisions?

Currently, YOUNGO makes decisions by consensus during COP at Spokescouncil and on the UNFCCC-Youth email list otherwise.
It has quite complex decision making procedures, which could alienate people. They are set out here: https://sites.google.com/site/unfcccyoungo/cop17-on-ground-info/about-youngo/decision-making-proceedures
I think that we should update YOUNGO's decision-making procedures and use Loomio, not the Google List, to make decisions outside of spokescouncil.

YOUNGO should use Loomio to make decisions Closed Sat 2 Aug 2014 5:10PM
Ignore this one! It timed out while I was learning to use Loomio before emailing YOUNGO. It's now just a failed proposal.
Instead of relying on the Google list, we should use Loomio for decisions outside of Spokescouncil, and create sub-groups for each Working Group.

YOUNGO should use Loomio to make decisions - take 2 Closed Mon 25 Aug 2014 12:07PM
This proposal passed on the UNFCCC-Youth at the end of August! Loomio it is.
Instead of relying on the Google list, we should use Loomio for decisions outside of Spokescouncil, and create sub-groups for each Working Group.
All decisions made in YOUNGO should be put through Loomio, and we should update the YOUNGO decision-making mandate accordingly, including reviewing deadlines.

This seems like an easy way to get input and provide a place where people can see what has been decided on.

Question about the process going forward: Do you want to use Loomio to get a non-binding vote (like a poll) at the same time as we vote on it in the regular manner on the YOUNGO list-serv?

David Tong Tue 5 Aug 2014 10:38PM
Yup, I'm thinking this is just for a non-binding poll - and experimentation with Loomio's features.
Nathan Thanki Tue 5 Aug 2014 10:45PM
ok, great, that makes sense
Dorothea Epperlein Thu 21 Aug 2014 5:13PM
So if I vote here now wil my vote be officially counted for the decision?

Hi all - this discussion is still open! It's just my first take at a proposal (on the right) that has closed.
So, how're you finding Loomio?
