proj-branchDemocracy-bdIntro

Branch Democracy has been obsoleted by Concord Democracy, a similar but simpler system.


Branch Democracy is a procedure and structure for democratic group decision-making. Branch Democracy is generic; it can be used for any sort of group, be it a small nonprofit organization, a large corporation, an online community, or a commune. Branch Democracy is scalable; it can be used for small groups or for very large ones.

Documents relating to outdated, older version

I have finished writing the first draft of most of the core bylaws of Branch Democracy.

The addendums for various applications have not yet been written.
