Guide 03

Give the agreement one clear return point.

A next-review date and a compact change log make the agreement easier to maintain without turning it into ongoing administration.

Plan the next review

Choose a review date while the group is together

The agreement includes an optional next-review date chosen by the table. Set one return point rather than scattering reminders across every topic.

Review open items first

  1. Check whether the chosen follow-up role brought a proposal.
  2. Move resolved wording back into its topic.
  3. Choose a new role or date only when the group still needs the decision.
  4. Leave “Not discussed yet” visible where no decision exists.

Keep the change log short

For each revision, keep the date, the topic, and the new table-facing wording. The log is not a transcript and should not contain private reasons.

Keep history separate from current wording. The topic section is the current agreement; the change log explains what changed.
