Abstract: The systems and methods described herein include systems and methods for proposing and making decisions among alternatives, allocations of resources, or other types of choices, wherein there are multiple decision-makers and each decision-maker may grant one or more proxies to one or more representatives for all, or less than all, of such decision-maker's voting power. Such systems and methods may include allocation of authority to modify decisions under consideration, techniques for participants to propose and seek support for consideration of additional decision alternatives, and for contributing or disseminating information relating to decisions that are pending. The systems and methods described herein facilitate the resolution of any kind of decision capable of definition and resolution using decision trees, including without limitation allocations of value, choices between language alternatives, and binary decisions.
