Here is a way to do a sociocracy-like process. Below I condensed and paraphrased our organizational proposals. I have 3 categories of proposals, the first being proposed goals, second, proposed process on your website, and third, proposed sources of data and ideas. You can put an "x" in front of any statements you dislike. And, if you like, you can insert after each such x-statement a modified proposal with a "+" sign at the beginning. Then we can both take turns doing similarly till all statements are in agreement. Are you willing to do that, or do you want to modify this proposal? I put quote marks (") before each statement that seems to be low priority for now.
