Organizing the Social.Coop Organizing Circle

MN Matt Noyes Public Seen by 222

On June 23rd, we approved the creation of an Organizing Circle (https://www.loomio.com/p/OI8kEjVz/social-coop-organizing-circle-proposal). This thread is for coordinating the next steps: The next steps are:

  • each working group chooses one person to be on the Organizing Circle

    • Community Working Group Ops Team

    • Tech Working Group

    • Finance Working Group

    • [legal?]

  • other members interested in helping organize the OC are welcome

  • those people will organize the sortition process for choosing the At Large members

I am optimistic that I can make time for this. Regardless, I'm very excited to see this develop!

I'd love to support this effort at some point, but my table is too full at the moment.

Unfortunately, I'm currently devoting my time to setting up a new online community (intended to be hospitable to less technically-inclined people).

I'm overwhelmed at the moment and don't have space for participating in this but I'm glad it's happening and support the work!

I'm in the same situation as Nathan - I support the process but have insufficient bandwidth to participate.

I'm willing to participate, as long as we can make the timing of the meetings work. I will be in CET and PST time zones in the next few months.

I'm willing to help, but there's no suggestion as to when the meetings are. (I'm away for the first three weeks of August.)

I'm happy to help, if the meetings are within my possibilities. :)

I have some sociocratic practice also...

It looks as I missed the time-frame to vote, but count me as "accept" please.

Thanks. :)
