Give every initiative a starting point
Describe a concern and let members assess its urgency. When the group’s rules are met, members can help frame the question, discuss the arguments and take part in the vote if eligible.

How it works
Start an initiative, decide together and see who’s taking the next step. Follow progress and confirmation in the same record.
Know who took the work on
For an adopted ordinary decision, the administrator can propose a responsible member. That person can accept or decline. The group can see the next step and a target date if one is set.
Keep the work visible
Find initiatives by stage. The record connects the concern, the debate and the outcome to written updates and completion confirmed by another eligible member.
Frequently asked questions
Who can take part and vote?
Deferendum is designed for adults. The group’s rules govern which proposals reach a vote and which members are eligible to vote.
What happens after the vote?
After an ordinary proposal passes, a group administrator can record the next step and invite a member to take it on. That person can accept or decline. If they accept, they can post progress updates and request confirmation. Another eligible member can confirm completion.
