Create a proposal in this section of the wiki, using the TEMPLATE PROPOSAL as a template (copy & paste the source)
Email a link to your proposal to the mailing list. Discussion about your proposal occurs. Expect questions. Answer them. Make adjustments to your proposal, if necessary.
At the next board meeting after at least five (three?) days of potential discussion has occurred (2nd Tuesday of the month), the proposal is voted upon by the board.
If the vote is successful, the item will be purchased (if available to do so), for more nebulous items (i.e. “if this comes up at HGR for the right price”), a reimbursement process will occur when the item is available.
