We have solved a portion of this problem by maintaining a separate Policy and Procedure manual that keeps all those decisions in a more rational format. It take diligence to maintain and every couple of years needs to be re-published as many people don't update their individual copies when a new decision is made or we change our minds about something. But still it makes a handy source everyone can use to remember what we decided about. . .

It functions sort of like Google, but deeper. Mary Ann Clark drmaryann49 [at] mac.comhttp://homepage.mac.com/drmaryann/index.html

(right now, 12 teams) Congratulations!!!! One good thing is that as time goes by and more decisions get made, the fewer you have to make. But one caution, clear minutes and records of decisions are important. Then you know what you decided and can either change a known decision or go forward with your already made decision. It saves a lot of time and angst in the end. Unless you stringently restrict your minutes to decisions with only a sentence or two explaining the decision, I also recommend a separate decision log, each entry with a reference to the minutes, . My community likes to have both announcements and all comments and all comments in the final evaluation recorded. The result is reams and reams of digital records, many of which are unsearchable except as individual documents. It's often nice to read as history but a holy mess when looking for a specific decision. I'm hoping to get these on the website in Wordpress so they can be tagged and searched but.... A huge task after 16 years. 14 living in and 2-3 of development.
