Adult volunteers discussing priorities for local projects.

Which local project needs attention now?

A shared mission can still bring different options. Start with a concern, assess urgency and discuss the question before deciding. Explore how adult NGO members could work together and start signup.

Adult volunteers discussing activities beside simple equipment.

Volunteer time is limited. Which priority should we choose?

Capacity matters as much as the idea. Adult members can compare the reasons for a priority, then follow the step someone agrees to own. Explore the example and start signup on the page.

The team changes. Why did we decide this?

Continuity means keeping the reasons as well as the result. Deferendum connects the question history, arguments and progress for group members. Explore the scenario and start signup on the page.

From a concern to a clear next step

  1. Raise a concern

    Describe the problem and a possible direction. Members rate its urgency.

  2. Frame the question

    When the group’s thresholds are met, members help shape a clear question.

  3. Compare the reasons

    Read arguments and comments. Contributions close when voting starts, but remain available to consult.

  4. Vote under agreed rules

    Eligible members vote. Deadlines, participation thresholds and the group’s rules apply.

  5. Agree the next step

    For an adopted ordinary decision, the administrator proposes a responsible member, who accepts or declines. A deadline is optional.

  6. Follow progress

    The responsible member updates progress. Another active member confirms completion; the record remains available.

Questions before you start

Is this another chat group?

No. A concern, a question, the reasons, the vote and the next step stay connected. General conversation may still happen elsewhere.

Does every proposal become a decision?

No. Qualification thresholds, discussion, eligibility and voting rules apply. A proposal can fail or a process can end without an adopted decision.

Is implementation automatic?

No. The app makes responsibility and progress visible. People still carry out the work, and a proposed responsible member can decline.

Can I begin on this page?

Yes. Enter your email, provide the required name and password, accept the adult/legal requirements and confirm the email link. Sending the form alone does not activate the account.
