Last week we worked on a “one-pager” to describe the most relevant aspects of Meet.coop in terms of its sustainability model. This morning I have updated that pad that we worked on and copied it to the wiki, to this page:
https://wiki.meet.coop/wiki/Online_Meeting_Coop_Wiki:About
Even though not all aspects are 100% agreed and will need to be amended still, I hope this gives a more accurate overview than we had until now. My hope is that we can have a working model without seriously conflicting positions and get started ASAP.
You’ll see that it incorporates the Membership definition with suggested amendments + the Circles proposal we voted for yesterday.
Doubts, things that need to be improved until we have rough consensus, or consent:
- Voting strength: I have put a draft in there, but I also saw another proposal by Mike to link voting strength not only to membership class but also to circle participation. My gutfeeling here is that we need a simple model that can evolve and get more complex over time, but please disagree.
- Spaces for decisionmaking; is it worded correctly or do we need major changes for now?
- we’ll need to work out some basic “Compensation framework” that allows us to pay people for work. This is not trivial, but a draft version is rather urgent so key workers know more or less how compensations can be expected to work.
- Collective Fund: all revenues that Meet.coop can dispose of: how will we manage that?
- Service Levels: the summary is in here, but details are referred to in the wiki:service_level page
Maybe not all details need to be in this same wiki page About Meet.coop and can be linked to detailed pages elsewhere in the wiki.
Then we should make sure the rest of the wiki is made consistent with the ongoing consent on terminology etc. And next we should add some parts to the front website org.meet.coop
I hope is a step forward.
Cheers, Wouter
