Icon legend
Throughout the platform round icons are events relating to individuals and their right to have an opinion in particular debates:
Person joining a committee
Person leaving a committee
Person elected to a position
Roll-call
Parchment-coloured, square icons relate to the creation and amending of documents:
Create a new proposal
Create a new document that is a line-by-line revision of another document (noted by the pen icon in the corner)
Document amendment proposed
Document taken from another committee (note arrow in corner)
Amendment taken from another committee
Debate a proposal
Documents that have an explicit subtype can be displayed with a slightly different icon:
Legislative text
Formal Resolutions
A message to be sent elsewhere
A petition to be considered
Rules and Orders of Business
Diamond-shaped, purple icons relate to decisions taken:
Drop a proposal
Refer a proposal to another committee
Adopt a proposal
Other vote (continue debate)
Reject a proposal
Postpone a debate
Blue, hexagon-shaped icons relate to 'procedural' proposals that do not directly alter text but affect
how a committee does its work (and are usually used only for transient things, such as a point of order.)
