| − | === Community members' preparation duties ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Find out what information should be reviewed or researched, as was discussed at the previous meeting and included in the minutes. A brief summary may be presented for absent folks to catch up, but we can't get mired down hashing over the same old material.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Feel free to come up with new presentations to add to Wednesday's agenda that we should email out Tuesday afternoon.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A new presentation may be as simple as a factoid, a plea, a question, a statement, or a topic to ponder, discuss, or research.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Keep presentations as short as possible while being as clear as necessary.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Presentations should NOT be anything that could be digested as homework (ie. articles, books, clips, documentaries, music, videos, etc.).
| |
| − | | |
| − | Rather than discussing and debating issues to death, try to answer questions by pointing to brief documentation and strong references.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Everyone is welcome to contact Jason or Sherri to add their presentations to this agenda, or be added to the list in person. We're only beginning to learn, put into practice, and intentionally bring more civilized efficient order and effective action for greater results. Please read the recommended reading before the meeting. Ray will print out 20 copies of a simplified version of the more detailed online agenda.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We can try to start the meeting on time, keep it to 60 minutes or 90 minutes max, 120 minutes under extreme circumstances. The following time allotments minutes are guesstimates to keep us on track and for the chair to maintain a schedule at their discretion. Unfortunately we the Q&A + discussions won't be as long as folks may want - but they are free to network to discuss outside the meetings.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This singular meeting and agenda is ''an experiment in action and organization''. Nothing here is written in stone. If people hate it, dislike most of it, appreciate some of it, or actually enjoy many aspects of it, meetings hereafter may reference and utilize whatever elements they wish. Meetings like this won't ever happen again - unless people want it. Keep in mind that this first attempt may have awkward things that may improve with practice, or be better in a different way. In short - try not to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

| |
| − | # 10-13 Jason : '''Terminology''': '''[[Do-ocracy]].'''
| |
| − | #* Over a year ago at the Green Room, the do-ocracy concept was appreciated after being introduced by Jason who learned of it via autonomous Burning Man communities.
| |
| − | #* Jason mirrored an existing CommunityWiki article then forked it by adding a few paragraphs to '''[[Do-ocracy]]'''.
| |
| − | #* Doing things without engaging, including, and involving the larger group will only ever be self-interest projects cloaked as community work.
| |
| − | #* Informed discussion without action is just as effective at resisting tyranny as cowardice, inaction, and ignorance.
| |
| − | #* Ambitious or not, finished or not, large or not, recent or not, successful or not - all of Jason's efforts are "authorized", founded in, and justified by our do-ocracy principles.
| |
| − | #* These concepts along with the room and long overdue need for change, organization, and action are the fundamental catalysts that ignited Jason's current explosion of development activity. Not to mention the global perpetual war demanding effective resistance.

| − | #* Better organizing our agendas, goals, management, etc.
| |
| − | #* Initiate actions, calendars, event planning, mission statements, etc.
| |
| − | #* Preparing assignments, homework, research, etc. in order that knowledgeable people come prepared to meetings for actionable organizing, rather than needing teaching or just socializing. (We may form a social group if we like - or leave this as a social group and form an action group. Perhaps revive the Sanctuary Social Club?)
