The Draupnir longhouse cycle
Draupnir's long-term decisions and regular development is conducted through a cyclic process.
Consultation
Consultation is an ambient rotating process that is always open. When consultation for the current session ends. Consultation for the next session remains open until the current session is over and the selection process for the next session has begun to take place.
Selection
The contribution guild reviews issues and creates plans from the triage process as part of their regular work. They select which plans to present to the longhouse assembly, with consideration from the current consultation session. The beginning of this process rotates the consultation session.
The contribution guild will only select options that are within material constraints. Members of the assembly may pledge material support against options as part of the consultation process.
Presentation
The contribution guild presents a document that discusses the results and progress towards the priorities decided in the previous session. Alongside this, the contribution guild forms a document with opinions for each option within the context of the current state of development.
Choice
The longhouse assembly votes on the presentation, either affirming a decision made by the contribution guild with a consensus or voting on the options.
Objections may be raised at anytime about any of the options and these can be discussed.
Development
Once the session is over, work begins on the decided outcome. The outcome is recorded in a log.
