Evolve your organisation's structure through transparent, asynchronous governance proposals. Any role filler can propose changes to roles, circles, accountabilities, domains, and policies, without waiting for a meeting.
What is a governance proposal in Nestr?
A governance proposal is a formal request to change your organisational structure: creating a new role, updating accountabilities, removing a policy, or restructuring a circle. Proposals follow a structured consent process so every voice is heard while governance keeps moving forward.
How does the proposal process work?
Submit a proposal with a clear description of the change and why it addresses a tension. Circle members review it, raise objections if they have them, and you integrate feedback until the proposal passes or is withdrawn. The entire process is documented and transparent to all circle members.
Asynchronous governance without meetings
Governance proposals let your organisation evolve continuously without waiting for a scheduled meeting. For teams with distributed time zones or fast-moving work, asynchronous proposals mean structural decisions never get bottlenecked by calendar availability.

Governance meetings bring the circle together synchronously to process proposals with full discussion, reactions, and objection rounds. Both result in the same structural changes to your organisation."}}]}
