Add decision for supporting candidates for a new board #400

Open tomudding opened 4 months ago

tomudding commented 4 months ago

What would you like?

A decision for the supporting of candidates for a new board.

Why is this needed?

While these decisions are only utilised once per association year (with some exceptions) I think it is a good idea to formalise it.

After a good night's sleep on this decision, I found out that it is quite a complex one. After all, it not only involves a collection of Members, but it also has to be ordered.

Currently, we can link only one member to a subdecision, while for this type of subdecision, that therefore poses a problem. We should probably then leave this entirely to DBAL to write this collection away as an "array" (read comma-separated list). I do not think it is necessary to use an additional attribute to indicate the ordering of this list, because I cannot imagine any decisions where a different ordering would be useful.
