Hi folks, I’m the Loomio Helper Bot.

If you want to get the attention of a specific person in your group, type @ into the comment field, followed by their name :)

Here are some things you might want to try to get things under way:

Set your profile picture
Configure your email settings
Introduce yourself to the group in the Welcome to Nowhere thread

If you’ve got any questions, the first place to check is the Loomio help manual.

Demonstration proposal: let’s go! Closed Tue 2 Feb 2016 7:07PM

This the proposal description. Here you can explain the proposed course of action and give enough detail so that everyone can make a well informed decision.

To participate in the proposal, choose one of these options:

Agree: “I agree with this and want it to go ahead.”
Abstain: “I am happy for the group to decide without me.”
Disagree: “I think we can probably do better.”
Block: “I have strong objections to this proposal and am not OK with it going ahead.”

When you have chosen, you’ll be prompted for a short statement to explain why you feel the way you do. You can change your position at any time while the proposal is still open.
