Wondering how these commons hour sessions are marketed? ---

We post each session announcement to: our ops members (Matrix), [social.coop](http://social.coop) (where it gets several boosts), our membership (OpenCollective), Twitter (@wouter ‘s account), and by direct email to the `commons.hour` contributors’ list (many of these are in the now-forming Board), and a list of ‘new economy’ associates of Robin Murray (author of the 2009 Coops UK report _Cooperation in the Age of Google)_. More lists to add Graham? There are four regular sessions still to run, including the May session, plus three series ‘wrap up’ sessions focused more specifically on governance matters. [The programme](https://meet-coop-1.gitbook.io/handbook-trial/5-commons.hour/commons.hour-programme/workplan). After that, six months down the line from now . . a review of `commons.hour` as an ongoing programme of coop-commons conversations. The present series was designed to support the internal process of developing a multistakeholder form within [meet.coop](http://meet.coop). Many `commons.hour` contributors turn out to be incipient members of [meet.coop](http://meet.coop)’s Board of stewards. The overview of the series to date, including links to recordings, is here: [Commons.hour - Overview - #8 by mikemh](https://forum.meet.coop/t/commons-hour-overview/663/9) ---

I may well be late getting to this as I have an earlier call that I can’t miss. ---
