A large-group decision-making process

        Attend a public meeting or other large-group decision-making process (e.g., in a religious organization, corporation, and so on). Describe the event you attended (no more than one page). Map out the process for decision making as it was demonstrated at the meeting. Was there a place for public or stakeholder participation? Were decisions made by vote, consensus, or something in between? Were all stakeholders heard or able to share their concerns? Who was the final decision maker?
