Article XXVII: Decision Making All Student Meetings
(DASMs)
When the cabinet encounters an issue or policy recommendation
where it deems the approval of the student body is more appropriate
than
the Cabinet making the decision alone, a Decision Making All Student
Meeting shall occur. A DASM sub-committee is then created that
is responsible for reserving an appropriate space where the
meeting
can be held, supervising publicity for the meeting, making all
other necessary arrangements, and organizing the meeting as
follows:
The Decision Making All Student Meeting is convened by one, or
both, of the Co-Presidents with assistance from the DASM sub-committee.
All members of the ESG shall be present at the Decision Making
All Student Meeting.
The Decision Making All Student Meeting sub-committee first presents
an overview of the issue or policy recommendation up for approval
to the members of the student body present at the DASM.
The convenor(s) of the Decision Making All Student Meeting states
the time limit for the discussion period, previously set by the
DASM sub-committee before the meeting.
The floor is then opened for discussion under moderation from the
convenor(s) of the Decision Making All Student Meeting.
After time has expired for the period of discussion, or at any
time the discussion has subsided, the convenor(s) shall assess
whether the student body is ready to proceed to a decision making
process.
If the convenor(s) feels the student body is not ready to proceed
to a decision making process, time is extended at the discretion
of the convenor(s). If after this time extension the convenor and
the DASM sub-committee feel that the student body is still not
ready
to proceed to make a decision, they may either extend the time
again to a length of their discretion, or they may call the meeting
to
an end. If they choose to end the meeting, the final decision shall
instead be made by a consensus of the Cabinet at their next meeting.
The convenor(s) shall make this announcement to the student body
before adjourning the meeting.
If the convenor(s) feels the body is ready to proceed to make a
decision, the convenor(s) ends the discussion period and begins
the consensus
process. The decision made by the student body in the consensus
process thereby becomes the official decision of the Earlham Student
Government
Cabinet. The Cabinet shall then endorse this decision in an Official
Document that is made public to the Earlham community and a copy
shall be filed in the Earlham Student Government Archives. < < Previous | ESG
