Formal decision making
From Reconciling understandings of Scripture and Science
PROCESS FOR ARRIVING AT A STRUCTURED DECISION
- All reviewers discuss briefly, and get an idea of answers.
- One or more writes his/her “judgement” together or separately.
- All read, discuss, refine if necessary until unanimous or majory decision is reached and ticked off as ready to be reported, without waiting for supplementary comments or alternative judgements.
- All who concur with the majority decision and wish to contribute supplementary comments do so.
- All who do not concur with the majority decision contribute alternative ("dissenting") judgements if they wish.
