Commission
Decision Method
Commission means a person or subgroup makes the decision. The group follows standard delegation levels.
Decision Methods: Unanimity • Fist to Five • Scoring • Dot-Voting • Multi-Voting • Consensus • Supermajority • Majority • Plurality • Consent • Brainstorming • Authority • Commission • Randomizing • Deferral
Purpose
Commission, in the context of decision-making, implies entrusting a specific decision to an individual or a smaller subgroup within a larger assembly. Instead of the whole group participating in the decision-making process, the responsibility is delegated to this selected entity. Their decision might be based on their unique expertise, experience, or specific knowledge relevant to the issue at hand. Once they arrive at a decision, the larger group adheres to it, possibly utilizing predefined delegation levels to ensure clarity in roles and responsibilities. This method can expedite decision-making by focusing on those best equipped to handle specific issues while still maintaining a structured approach within the broader group's framework.
Notes
Effective delegation to a subgroup requires clear mandates, well-defined roles and responsibilities, transparent communication channels, and a feedback mechanism to ensure accountability and alignment with the broader goals and interests of the larger team.
