Each card is one way to answer a question. Your community picks the cards closest to what it does today, combines them and rewrites what does not fit. Or start from one of thirteen templates. They run from consensus to sortition."

},
|
|
{
|
|
"title": "Do we have to follow it?",
|
|
"answer": "You follow it because your group agreed to it. Members can point to the same words when things get hard. Whether any part of a Rule holds up in court depends on where you are and what it says. A Rule sits beside your bylaws if you have them, and any law or regulator that applies to you still applies. Talk to a lawyer before your group relies on a card like binding arbitration."

},
|
|
{
|
|
"title": "We are in the middle of a conflict right now. Will this help?",
|
|
"answer": "Only partly. A whole Rule is hard to write during a dispute because people write rules to win the fight in front of them. What helps now is agreeing how your group will handle this one dispute, ideally with a facilitator from outside the group. If someone has been harmed, their safety comes first. Write your Rule once things settle and it will help with the next one. The guides on conflict are a good place to start."
