Organizing the Social.Coop Organizing Circle

MN Matt Noyes Public Seen by 221

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

Hi folks, so a lot of people are interested in helping to organize the Organizing Circle. That's a great sign. Someone raised concerns about the difficulty of synchronous meetings, so I think we should start a new Loomio subgroup and use that. https://www.loomio.com/socialcoop-organize-the-organizing-circle/ As I understand it, our tasks are to a) recruit OC members from each of the existing working groups, b) organize and run a sortition process to recruit at large members. Once the OC is established, it is up to them to meet, etc. Sound good?

What is the team, working group or event you are inviting people to?

This group will organize the initial sortition process to set up the new Organizing Circle.

Why is this important?

The Organizing Circle will support and facilitate communication and collaboration in Social.Coop governance and operations.

What are you asking people to do?

Plan and coordinate the initial sortition process. This should take a couple of meetings and some correspondence.

I'm willing to join but have been hesitant that being in Asia means late night/early morning calls for me (to accommodate Europe/US) - trying to eliminate those from my life. If that isn't an issue, then I can change to accept

@Nithin Coca ncoca Would a mostly asynchronous process work for you, then? Right now, we are talking about organizing the OC, which I think can largely be done asynch.
