Some organizational tweaks

K Kay Public Seen by 169

This thread contains a few tensions and proposals to solve them. Mostly little things that continually proved to be to squishy to catch.

This proposal thread is the outcome of a work meeting and we immediately wanted it up for voting.

A total of 5 tensions was grouped into two proposals.

I've had good experiences using the old-format forum and newer reddit-comment type threaded discussion systems, do we have anything in mind that works? I'm for using something for this - However, I think we need to pick one that does what loomio does too, so we dont have to add another discussion platform

For my side business, we have a master google doc that has updated links to all google docs, organized by function. It's amateur, but it works! Excited to see what kind of tools are suggested though!

Establish a technology? Sounds like a lot of work! Aren't there other great forum platforms we can use? What exactly are ya proposing here? I don't feel well informed enough to vote... perhaps you are suggesting we use a forum already in existence and if so please do throw out some names of ones you think would work :)

Redirect This Month’s Roles Process Closed Thu 14 Mar 2019 10:02PM

Every month since the fall we’ve had a Roles Meeting, and this month I’d like to switch it up!

Tension:

Roles Meeting process is a bit out of date, and I need some time to freshen it up so it still makes sense for our team.

You can view the Roles interface dreams here and it's funding progress here

These solutions are proposed ONLY FOR THIS MONTH, not setting a standard for all roles process going forward.

I like the Schelling point of "roles meting" as a way to propose and agree on individual directions as a collective unit. Synchronous vs Asynchronous... (aka. blockchain vs graph, ordered vs unordered list) integrated thinking would suggest "both and"!

If we do the graph thing first (asynchronous small groups) we can then blockchain it after (synchronous larger meeting for consensus)... which is exactly how the Economic Space Agency are doing "design your own design constraints" consensus!

Excellent set of choices Lorelei! I really wish there was a decision making tool that made it easier to decide on conditional flows.
