Abstract

A system for deliberating a proposal according to a preferred embodiment is provided. The system includes: a database server for storing data on the proposal to be decided; an application server for obtaining and analyzing the data on the proposal in the database server, extracting outlines of the proposal, informing corresponding attendees to attend a remote conference for deliberating the proposal, collecting opinions from all the attendees, and determining whether the proposal passes the deliberating based on the opinions; and a plurality of client computers distributed in different zones and connected to the application server through a network for providing each attendee with an interface to evaluate the proposal, transmitting information between the application server and the client computers. A related method is also disclosed.
