S14 Voter Guide Template

I’m a big fan of intersubjective consensus.

1. intersubjectivity is the relation or intersection between people’s cognitive perspectives.
2. consensus is a a general agreement.

Intersubjective consensus is consensus at the intersection of peoples perspectives.

By sharing multiple viewpoints, a group of humans are able to figure out where they are aligned and they are not. (or perhaps they are partially aligned)

As S14 budgeting is upon us, I would like to facilitate more information sharing + intersubjective consensus creation among stewards by allowing them to clearly articulate what way they are voting + why. More informed stewards + constituents creates more legitimacy IMO.

To achieve that, I’m copying Kris and Kyle. Kris and Kyle created voter guides ( 1 2 2 4 ) which explain which way they are voting and why in S13. I’ve found that voter guides was an effective way for them to communicate a synthesis of their perspectives on the various budgets + also create accountability by summarizing which way they were voting.

To facilitate more discussion of digested budget information among stewards, I am creating a template for a voter guide for S14. I encourage you to fork it 38 and distribute your own voter guide!

Here is what the template looks like:

I encourage you to fork this resource + make + distribute your own copy 38.
