We get feedback from people who will be the most impacted and from “experts” (people who have relevant experience) and then we take an informed decision. We trust you by default. We know that we all want the best for the movement. {% hint style="info" %} **Gender balance**: at least one woman and one man should be involved in non trivial decisions. When we are convening meetings, we do our best to ensure gender balance and equal time to speak. {% endhint %} ### Under time constrains We don’t always have the time to gather feedback (typically when we get closer to an action). In that case, it’s not enough to share on basecamp or elsewhere and expect that the right people will have the time and respond within the hour. In those situations, we invite you to check with at least another rebel (with experience and/or impacted by the decision) of another gender to ensure gender balance (text them on Signal or call them if urgent). ## Resources * Book “[Reinventing Organizations](https://www.reinventingorganizations.com/)”, Frédéric Laloux ([see also the wiki](http://www.reinventingorganizationswiki.com/Main_Page)) --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.extinctionrebellion.be/decision-making-process.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
