Title: ARCH Voting Method Consensus-building Process (https://researchseminars.org/talk/Metagov/231/)
by Sam Schikowitz (https://forby.io/) as part of Metagovernance Seminar

Abstract
The ARCH Voting Method is a distinct system for consensus-building, facilitating a dynamic and collaborative environment.

In an era where collective decision-making must scale from small teams to global populations, the need for a voting system that genuinely captures the community's resonance is paramount. The ARCH Voting Method is designed to fulfill this need by allowing votes to be ranged and updated in real-time as new information emerges. Inspired by effective consensus-building processes, ARCH facilitates a dynamic and collaborative environment where:

1. Proposal and Feedback: Members propose options, rate them, and provide reasons for their support or concerns.

2. Iterative Improvement: This transparent exchange of ideas leads to the refinement and creation of better proposals.

3. Consensus Building: Decisions are made only when a sufficient level of community consensus is achieved on an option.

By embodying these principles, the ARCH Voting Method aims to scale the collaborative spirit to communities of any size—even to the global population—empowering effective and resonant decision-making on a massive scale..
