You would collaborate with the Metadecidim admins to set up one or more spaces on meta.decidim.org (or, more realistically, on your own Decidim instance) and then map each democratic “object” to a step in the transition process: assemblies for formal bodies, participatory processes for structured phases, proposals and debates for ideas, surveys for feedback, and initiatives for agenda‑setting. [1][2][3]
For a mayoral transition team, the recommended pattern is to run this on a dedicated Decidim instance configured for the transition, rather than on meta.decidim.org, which is reserved for Decidim’s own community governance. [1][2] On such an instance you can create a “Transition to Mayor Mamdani” participatory process with multiple phases and add components (Proposals, Debates, Surveys, Meetings, Conferences) according to the timeline. [4][1]
An Assembly represents a standing body such as “Transition Steering Committee” or “Community Advisory Council”. [1]
A participatory process is the core container for time‑bound work, such as “NYC Mayoral Transition 2025–26”. [1][6]
A Proposal is a concrete idea or demand, such as “Create a public broadband authority” or “Fund community‑run mental health centers”. [4][8]
