# Loomio - Collaborative Decision-Making

Loomio is a collaborative decisoin making tool that is used for:

1. Key **strategic discussions**
2. Important community **announcements**
3. Consent based **decision making**

On Loomio we have several groups:

* the [main OuiShare group](https://www.loomio.org/g/inO27e3f/ouishare), which is public and accessible to all members upon request
* **local sub-groups** for local communities who are more active 
* a **closed sub-group for Connectors** only where decisions on budget and strategy are made. Read more about [how we make decisions.](https://handbook.ouishare.net/~/drafts/-LSyIc013kEttAkSD1Sg/primary/governance-and-decision-making/decision-making)
