Examples could include fiscal, technical, political, personnel-related... * Within those categories, what sort of timing is MF/PL confronted with, from decisions that need to be made at the spur of the moment to very long-term, big-picture decisions? * what decisions can be made by staff and/or support teams on their own and which kinds of decisions need to go to the LC? == How have those decisions been made previously? == * Up to now, who has typically made those different types of decisions? * What are all of the decision-making bodies currently at work at MF/PL? (e.g. co-directors, staff as a whole, board, LC, support team) * How are those decisions made within each body? * How are decisions recorded, shared with the wider organization, enacted, and followed up on? * Outside of the people actually making the decisions, who else is consulted for input or feedback that is then incorporated into the decision-making process? * What have the benefits of the decision-making process to date been? What have the drawbacks been?
