EffectiveStaticContract
The StaticContract is the only part of ConsensusPolling that does not change while a decision-making process is underway. This does not mean that participants cannot still have their concerns met with regards to GoThresholds or DoneTimer. Here's how:
| Reason | Solution |
|---|---|
| One or more GoThresholds is too high, and we will never be done because there isn't enough interest in this topic. | I start a new ConsensusPoll with the lower GoThreshold(s). |
| One or more GoThresholds is too low. With low thresholds, participants may decide not to do outreach, thus missing important voices that need to be included in the process. | I set my status to NotYet with a comment about where I feel participation levels need to be. For every person that does this, 9 more participants would need to be recruited to get the whole process to 90%. I then change to YES when my desired level or participation has been reached. |
| Reason | Solution |
|---|---|
| The process feels like it's taking too long, and the document keeps getting better. | I need to be patient. |
| The process is being purposefully delayed without the document improving. | I start a ClotureThreshold vote. |
| People at status YES have not had time to review recent changes to the document. | I edit the document to reset the timer, as many times as necessary to give people sufficient time. |
