Ben asked me to clarify this thread a bit so here goes:

Current process:
Organiser makes submission via website
Rich takes submission and plugs it into a new Loomio proposal
Admins deliberate and hopefully select a liaison

Problem: it is easy to get a lot of people to click 'I agree' but there is no incentive for anyone to volunteer to be liaison. And once the liaison has been selected, they have no way of editing the proposal because I 'own' it.

Suggested amendment:
Organiser makes submission via website
Rich takes submission and plugs it into a new Loomio discussion
Somebody volunteers to be liaison and turns this into a Loomio proposal

This means proposals only exist once a liaison has been attached to them. Also it means the liaison 'owns' the proposal, so they can open, close, and edit it at their discretion, removing me out of the equation.

Pros: more decentralised, less bottlenecky. Cons: potential for event submissions to get lost in the mix

I suggest we can mitigate this Con by publicising our Loomio group (it's already public but we don't advertise it) so organisers can badger us if they see no action on their submission.

That sounds like a reasonable way of doing things.

We still have the problem of if no-one volunteers to liaise with the person. Perhaps this is a different proposal. But i guess I'd like to know from the people who do most of the liaising if they feel like the current system works for them?

If we are going to change the process then it might be worth looking at the whole process of not only how we administer proposals through loomio but also how we go about working out who is going to liaise with that particular event?

If we have a process for this then proposals might be less likely to get lost in the mix.

Could be as simple as, if no one is picking it up as the liaison, someone notices and pokes people (emailing or physical poking)...

could be as simple as the person who notices, and wants to (cyber or physical) poke somebody could be the liaison themselves?!

Kava Club locker to be kept at 17 Tory Street Closed Fri 31 Mar 2017 1:22AM

Kia ora whanau, we (Kava Club) are interested in storing a locker at 17 Tory to keep our collective's mea (stuff) in. We don't have a club house as such but 17 Tory is definitely our home away from home. The locker is in a picture below, tall and narrow it won't take up too much room. We can also offer a lightweight screen to the space to be moved around to "hide" any things like piles of chairs. As also pictured. Thanks! Ashley

Hey @ashleymackenziewhi1 can you start a new thread on this one rather than a proposal? We've just inherited two cupboards, one of which is empty and has a lock that Kava Club could use, but would be worth discussing. Screen looks cool I reckon.

Totally! Sorry @murdoch ! I didn't think the proposal would appear in this thread. Eek!
