Decision Making Matrix Routine Significant Major Emergency How much money is involved?
Spending that is already budgeted for
Spending that is already budgeted for if the decision is being made by a task team, or unbudgeted expenditure under £100 if the decision is being made by the Board
Unbudgeted expenditure over £100
What impact does it have on a community agreement/how important is it?
There's no changes to community agreements
There are minor changes to community agreements
Changes the nature of the project, or The decision is ambiguous in relation to Lilac's values or ethical policy
need to be made quickly to avoid significant delay or cost to the project.
Which members and teams need to be involved?
The decision clearly falls within the remit of one task team, and can be made by this task team
The decision is made by the task team/the Board, however there is a clearly defined process for all members to input their comments, questions and concerns If the decision falls within the remit of more than one task team, it is also a “significant” decision
The decision is made at a General Meeting by consensus
The decision must be made at an emergency Special General Meeting.
What if a member objects?
If a team-member raises objections to the decision and the team cannot resolve those objections the decision must be treated as “significant”
If a Lilac member raises objection to the decision, and the team cannot resolve those objections, the decision must be treated as “major”. Any objection must be made within 2 weeks
In a situation where consensus of members could not be agreed, the decision must be deferred to a further meeting. This can happen for a maximum of 3 meetings. If after 3 meetings consensus is not achieved, the decision must be made through a majority vote (see Rules 37)
