### Broad agreement to migrate meet. coop

Meeting of meet. coop [@evolution](https://forum.meet.coop/groups/evolution) team, WebTV and innovation. coop 2023 07 17. See the notes here: [2023 07 18 - meet.coop & webtv edited.md - Nextcloud](https://cloud.meet.coop/s/mBpind3n47YSzWL)

The proposal:

> We propose Webtv operates the (BBB) service and [innovation.coop](http://innovation.coop) pays them for that. [Innovation.coop](http://Innovation.coop) handles marketing and customer first line support, and - if there is interest amongst the user base - engages with users to involve them in governance to whatever level they desire.
> 
> We’re keen in our meeting to get a sense from Gabriel as to where the natural/comfortable boundaries are for Webtv and to seek to work with those where we can. We feel both Webtv and [innovation.coop](http://innovation.coop) have some flexibility and share a desire to see [meet.coop](http://meet.coop) survive and thrive as a cooperative brand and a basis for evolving community.

There is good agreement on this, and WebTV @gcotnoir is now in conversation with meet. coop Tech circle @dvdjaco @Yurko on migrating the platform. Will assess, and come up with a timeframe.

**Next steps**

- **Ops members** to **approve the proposal** , including use of the current funds at OC [Meet.coop - Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/meet-coop). A large part should go to compensate the workers that worked on meet. coop for the last 3 years without much compensation. @wouter at work on this.
- Pitch to **Ops members** : Discuss: how can they stay involved? Encourage them to continue contributing.
- Pitch to **User members** : we propose to migrate to a new mode of federating meet. coop v2.0: webtv + innovation. coop, new version BBB 🙂 , continue investing energy. Not a voting matter (this lies with Ops members), we invite comment and strategic advice, ultimately they vote _with their feet_ as users, and we do all we can to enthuse and engage them.
- For all the above: develop some revised advisory and contributory framework aka **governance** through innovation. coop. Is there a kind of meet. coop **circle** inside innovation. coop? A circle could hold scheduled open meetings (‘User community’?) maybe two or four times a year. Anybody interested can contribute. @Graham wonders whether the Board membership can be morphed into User community, simpler than convening a Board with fixed membership but variable availability? To be discussed. The challenge is to keep the wagon on the road, halt decline in membership, start process of engaging w user members and potential users. We will be led by the energy of our customers/members. Avoid unnecessary complexity in governance.
