Proposal Submission and Processing:
A proposal/problem must be presented by a minimum of 2 members and sent to a Research Writer who then posts the proposal on the Wiki and starts a discussion forum. Each member is notified when a new forum is begun though the email list. Any (Ordinary or Associate WDDM members can submit proposals, but only Ordinary Members can vote on them.

The general public can watch and participate in the discussion. During this discussion period, members can give their opinions and facts to be included in the possible options. The findings are compiled and presented by the Research Writer in the form of a Research Report, a summary of the actions and/or inaction to be voted upon by Ordinary Members.

In general a 2 week period will be alloted to the proposal processing, and could be broken down as follows:

* 6 days for the forum to discuss all matters pertaining to the problem/suggestion;
* 2 days for the Research Writer to compile and have ready the Research Report ;
* 6 days to vote on the Research Report conclusions.

(Except for the vote period, the first two period should be made flexible, and extended as necessary, according to the importance of the proposal, and the time commitments of the Research Writer. Generally the discussion period should end only when there are no more contribution/ammendmens.)
