In instances where rough consensus cannot be attained, even after parties have put forth and evaluated alternative proposals and feedback from lead stakeholders of pilot projects has been solicited, Core Team leads reserve the right to make decisions (and will appropriately document the rationale for decisions and ensure the result of those decisions are subject to subsequent evaluation and possible revision). -**Assemblies and Workshops** – gatherings open to all members of the community are held on a quasi-regular basis to facilitate alignment around the mission of the Initiative. +**Technical Standups and Community Assemblies** – In semi-regular meetings open to all members of the community, we facilitate alignment around the mission of the Initiative. -Leadership and technical implementers regularly convene at Assemblies (a brief open meeting, held roughly monthly).

These events can generate and prioritize “user stories,” feature backlogs, and possible courses of action to meet the needs expressed by those user stories.
