 What is the minimum required information for getting a Decision reviewed ?


 How do I need to do to get my DR reviewed and approved ?


 Where can I store supporting documents?

Supporting documents of a DR can live anywhere.  Wiki , Google Docs, external blog posts, articles etc.  While we support having documents anywhere, it is highly recommended that most immediate/relevant information for the DR is documented in the wiki. This helps us avoid losing the content in the future for a variety of reasons. For E.g, the site is no longer available, issues related to ownership etc..

 How are the decisions communicated to the larger community ?

FOLIO Community has a system demo that happens every month. The plan is have some dedicated slot for the TC to highlight some their work. This can include information about ACCEPTED decisions
