New Discussion Tool: "Fist to Five Poll"

I like the suggestion and I'd like to add support for it as a proposal process template.

My intention is that we reduce the number of top level facilitation tool options, and provide more flexibility at the next level.

So we have something like
- Proposal
where you can choose from a set of process templates to make a group decision.
- Consensus
- Consent
- Advice
- Fist of five
- Poll
measure opinion/interest with some well known tools
- Choose (single or multiple choice)
- Rank
- Score (see score voting)
- Spend (previously dot vote)
- Time

And in the future we may have RSVP so we put Time poll and that together under Event or Meeting.

We also want to merge the left and right columns, so at the bottom of the thread you see Comment, Proposal, Poll as ways to take an action on the thread.

I don't think Fist of Five is the right process choice for this but it's nice to see it look so good using the poll tool, and thanks for bringing it up.

Great -- that makes sense. Not sure why you need Fist to Five if you have consensus? Also it seems good to include a simple Yes, No, Abstain vote template.

Sorry I'm confused. Proposal right now is "consensus", why do you ask for fist of 5 then? Maybe we think of consensus differently?

In case helpful: for me there is a clear distinction between consensus and consent, though there are nuanced variations of each of course (especially consent).
Consensus: Everyone must actively agree. Quorum is usually everyone.
Consent: Absence of (qualified) objections. My favourite method is S3 (a qualifying objection is one where you believe the proposal in its current form is more likely than not to harm the organisation/ sabotage it's vision. Or, you have an actionable idea how to improve on the proposal right now)

Looking forward to meeting you at in Mieres. We'll get to chat about this stuff in person!

IMHO, the “Fist of 5” is for confidence (or rating) vote, not for consensus.

A generic rating vote (e.g. “Vote 0 to N out of N” where N is customizable ) could be useful.

My mistake -- I did not notice the block option on Proposal, so I took it to be a voting tool, not a consensus tool. I am confused, too, though: I learned Fist to Five (aka fist of five) as a consensus technique, useful because it is more granular and gives info that "no objections" or voting does not. In any case, my desire would be to have it as an option, because of its specific advantages.

Actually, Robert's proposed scheme above seems great.

(By the way - doesn't Fist TO Five make more sense? As a range of options? Fist of five is a tautology...?)

I revised the proposal, but there is no indication of that?

it's nested under the started poll event item up top.

Missed it - thanks.

Every time people have been writing "fist to five" throughout this thread, have you been meaning to write "FIRST to five"? Because I've been very confused about fists! 🤔
