2021 Community Working Group Charter Renewal and Team Elections
Matthew Cropp Wed 15 Sep 2021 2:11AMPublicSeen by 84The Community Working Group Operations Team operates on an annual charter, and we recently realized we've been tardy in renewing it, so this thread is for that process and for operations team elections for this year. The flow will be as follows:
I will launch a vote to renew the charter.
Once the charter is renewed, I'll post a check poll to collect the list of social.coop members who would like to be candidates for seats on the Community Working Group Operations Team.
Once we have our list of candidates, I'll post an anonymous approval vote poll to elect the team members to the five seats.
If you would like to review who is on the team currently, as well as the language of the existing team charter, I just updated the wiki page here.

I think it's a good thing that there's one new member out of the four - ideally, there ought to be some turnover in these positions, but also not 100% change.

Looks good to me
Community Working Group Operations Team Election
proposal by Matthew Cropp Closed Sun 19 Dec 2021 1:02AM
The appointment of the Community Working Group Operation Team for the coming year is approved. The transition of team members will take place at the next CWG Ops Team monthly meeting.
After checking in with potential candidates, we have four candidates for five seats for the Community Working Group operations team election (I will be stepping off to focus more energy on the finance group). So, I propose we elect the candidates as a slate:
Emi Do
Matt Noyes
Mica Fisher
Sam Whited
Voting on the slate will be open for 7 days.

I have enjoyed my time on the ops team, and am happy to continue but happy to be replaced! Would love more people in social.coop to get a chance to peer under the hood re: moderation and ideas floating around how to foster community!
Mica FisherSun 3 Oct 2021 10:02PM
Similar to Matt and Matt, I'm happy to continue in this role or step aside if others want to get more engaged!
Sam WhitedSun 3 Oct 2021 10:02PM
Hello, my name is Sam and I would like to become more involved with social.coop. I hope that by serving on one or more committees I can do more to help create an actual community of cooperation than by just putting in a bit of capital once a month. I have limited experience as a moderator in small chat rooms on the XMPP network and a fairly large room on IRC. I hope that this experience can be useful to social.coop, but I also hope that I can learn to become better at resolving disputes by working with social.coop. You can find me at sam@social.coop or at sam@samwhited.com on Snikket or any other XMPP compatible messaging service if you have any questions or would like to get to know me better. Thank you for your consideration!

I am willing to continue but also happy to be replaced.
Matthew CroppSun 3 Oct 2021 10:02PM
I am game to continue on the team, but would also be happy to take on another role for the co-op if there is sufficient interest from other members to ensure a full team.
