These are the proposed aims to be voting on:

Proposal - Stewardship Circle Aims:

  • To provide a collaborative, convivial virtual space and multilingual communication platforms for permaculture networks and allies around the world.

  • To provide information about the current state and extent of permaculture thinking and practice and its strategic context through resources (documentation of training and learning resources, information, tools, platforms, etc.) that nurture existing local, regional, and global permaculture initiatives.

  • To provide means of support for new eco-social enterprises, projects and initiatives that address identified challenges and/or add value to permaculture networks.

  • To identify and/or vet allied networks to collaborate with to enhance our collective work.

  • To research, explore, recommend and implement organisational structures and processes suited to complex multi-layered, oppression-free, diverse, and inclusive interactions.

  • To produce widespread understanding of the Permaculture CoLab and its products and services.

  • To produce documentation for the process of CoLab development, to actively learn and unlearn organisational development processes suited to complex multi-layered networks that support people working effectively together.

  • Research, design, and develop tools and processes for adding fun, creativity and diversity to CoLab activities and recommended processes.

remove 'new' from eco-social enterprises so as not to invalidate all the existing and potent ventures from our consideration - also I think the multilingual aspect needs rethinking as the current statement is reaching for an undefined goal (is 2 languages mutli-lingual? Do we expect to do Welsh, Catalan, Mandarin, ...?) and would we not do better to develop a fractal approach in which language groups are empowered to cohere 'locally' and, through a common language uplink, cohere globally?

As I understand it these are the stewards aims but also read as the CoLab aims for now - I'm agreeing with them as good enough for now but think they will need revisiting in a few months to tweak.

I like andrew's change propositions but i'm fine if they don't get added now as can always tweak later...
