An initiative is a proposal that can be promoted by any person on their own initiative (independently of other channels or spaces of participation) through the collection of (digital) signatures for the organization to carry out a specific action (change a regulation, initiate a project, change the name of a department or a street, etc.).

The promoters of an initiative can define its objectives, gather support, debate, disseminate it and define meeting points where signatures can be collected from participants or debates open to other participants.

Examples: An initiative may collect signatures to hold a consultation of all the people in an organization, to create or convene an assembly, or to start a budget increase process for a territory or area of the organization. During the signature gathering process, more people can add to this request and forward it to the organization.
