A Thing is a weekend long business event where DFs discuss important issues relating to the DF movement and the wider world.
There are typically three routine things a year – Winter, Spring and Summer Thing. It is expected that at least one of these meetings will be held online.
Each August, DFs hold their annual general meeting, known as Althing.
Althing is the only Thing where changes can be made to the DF Constitution and Democratic Procedures documents, but standard DF policy can be altered at any of the Things.
