Online livestream discussion with coop/finance experts
mai ishikawa sutton Thu 20 Oct 2016 8:26PMPublicSeen by 100In addition to having an in-person event at or near the Twitter HQ about this, what about we organize an online discussion about how we'd move forward with legal and finance experts so that anyone around the world could watch it and participate?

Sounds very interesting. I would love to participate. Twitter workers and users and other stakeholders could form a multi-stakeholder co-op. I've had some experience with this and it is a model with a longer track record in Quebec (next door).

I think @tommcdonough and @chriscook1 should be on this as well.
However, if you intend to record it and use it as a kind of communication instrument - very useful! - I think it would be good if participants from our group had a rather aligned opinion/approach to put forward. Thus, it might be useful to have a private call with the same group first.

@matthewcropp @thomaseuler1 I agree. Could we organize a "private" planning call Mon/Tues — "private" meaning it's open to anyone here — before we make it a recorded, public discussion? In addition to @chriscook1 @tommcdonough, we should have @ntnsndr on the planning call as well.

Monday & Tuesday are good

How's about tentatively 10am-11am EST on Tuesday? If that works, I'll post a link to the hangout in this thread.

That's pretty much the one slot that day I can't do. PM your time would be better (I'm EST +4 hrs at the moment)
Matthew CroppSun 30 Oct 2016 9:19PM
I could potentially do something pre-dinner (4 or 5pm EST)?
Chris CookSun 30 Oct 2016 9:38PM
Great

I'm in
Matthew CroppTue 1 Nov 2016 9:02PM
On the call now.
Chris CookTue 1 Nov 2016 9:57PM
Shit. We put our clocks back at the weekend and you colonials don't do so until next weekend unless I'm mistaken.
john gierynTue 1 Nov 2016 10:04PM
Shucks! You can see the notes from the call at least :) EDIT: jinx Matthew :P
Matthew CroppTue 1 Nov 2016 10:03PM
Sorry about that; time-zones are the bane of international organizing. :P
Rough notes linked to below, and I created a new loomio thread for aggregating suggestions for potential panelists with deep knowledge of either co-op finance or conversions.

@mairasutton Awesome! Do you want to put heads together by hangout first to discuss the parameters of the agenda, and then put the doodle out for the date of the recorded conversations? I should be available tomorrow or tuesday mornings (before 11:30 EST), if either of those might work for you?
