h1. GovernanceResearch h2. Introduction The Replicant project sometimes needs to take decisions. The decisions are currently taken by the [[SteeringCommittee|steering commitee]]. It would be better if this is made more horizontal: * It would remove the single points of failure * The decisions would be better and less horizontal * Potential individual bias could be smoothed out by having more people taking decisions. h2. Challenges The main issues with a more horizontal governance in Replicant are: * To ensure that the decisions being taken are informed decisions * The Replicant project doesn't become a nonfree distribution h3. Examples Project governance can work in completely horizontal way, however to do that projects typically need to implement some rules[1]. Examples: * Some free software projects require to follow meetings or pay a membership to be able to vote. The goal behind that is to avoid taking uninformed decisions. * Events organization projects do manage to take very well informed decisions in a very efficient and fast way[2]. h3. Good practices h2.
