 == Definitions and Requirements for Method Ringing: A Proposal by the Ringing Theory Discussion Group, June 2014 – April 2015 ==
-This Changeringing Wiki article summarizes the results of a debate and series of polls by the Ringing Theory discussion group ("r-t") that took place from June 2014 to [month] 2015.  The debate concerned what an improved set of CC Decisions might look like, and led to the proposed new set of Definitions and Requirements for Method Ringing that are contained in this article.  The content below does not represent the views of all members of r-t - only the majority (or in some cases plurality) of the subset of r-t members who chose to take part in the debate and various polls.
