+The following voting format was altered on [[gcm_nov21_2022|21 November 2022]] to adopt Autonomic's decision-making process instead. Several (minor) issues need to be addressed with the adopted process, which requires maintaining a record of this prior voting method for the moment.
+For voting & decision-making proposals, please review the [[SBC Decision-Making Process|SBC Decision-Making Process]] Guide. Please note that Medium & Large decisions must be posted to [[Proposals|Proposals]] and the results can be found on [[Decisions|Decisions]].

-  - **Proposal**: A paragraph clearly describing the proposal.
-  - **Budget or labour cost**: A paragraph outlining the resources required to achieve what is proposed.
-  - **Rationale**: A paragraph explaining why the proposal is a good idea and what benefits we will gain if it is voted through.
-  - **Timeframe**: A brief description of how long the proposal is likely to take to put into action.
-A summary paragraph might also be useful, to briefly sum up what members are voting for or against.
