Motion States
Motions have a life cycle that leads them from being drafts to community-approved documents. Which state a motion is in depends on whether it has been released and on the number of votes it has for/against it.
- DraftState?: A draft motion is not yet finished and can still be edited by any member of the Adhocracy.
- VotingState?: After an editor has called for a vote, it is "VotingState?": any user can cast a vote on the motion.
- ActivatingState?: After gathering approval by the required majority of the participants (usually two thirds of the voters), a motion is activating and must maintain that majority for a certain delay (usually 7 days) in order to become ActiveState?.
- ActiveState?: The motion is approved by the community and can be seen as part of their established codex.
- DeactivatingState?: When a motion loses the required majority, it is re-transferred to the voting state. Similar to the ActivatingState? this transition is delayed. DeactivatingState? motions are, therefore, still an ActiveState? part of the codex.
