7 | | Below is a draft process proposal for handling our membership meeting this summer, tentatively scheduled for Sunday, October 28. |
8 | | |
9 | | It's based largely on the process we used in 2011. The main changes from last year's meeting: |
10 | | |
11 | | * Instead of reading the reports and then having a discussion, we will distribute the reports and invite a handful of members or other people to comment on the political report as a prelude to discussion. This avoids needless time reading reports, offers a more interesting draw for our members (if we can bring known people to comment), and helps frame the membership meeting around topics useful for us to be discussing. |
12 | | * Instead of pre-seeding the collaborative democracy workshop with priorities written by the directors, we will design a survey to ask for feedback on a lightly revised set of priorities based on the 6 we agreed to last year, with an option to propose a new priority area. The priorities will be revised to help demonstrate the scope of a "guideline" to help generate more useful feedback. We will use the results of the survey to prepoluate the list of priorities for this year's collaborative democracy workshop., |
13 | | * Direct video link between Mexico City and New York City, with equal presentation from both cities. |
14 | | * Instead of limiting voting to a one hour period at the meeting, allow voting to happen for a full week, online-only (any who wants to vote at the meeting in person will be provided with assistance in voting online), up to one hour prior to the end of the meeting |
15 | | |
16 | | It is also based on the [wiki:projects/leadership-committee/structure draft structure document] that the leadership committee has discussed and partially but not fully approved (we approved the LC decision making process). The main departure from the draft structure is allowing members to directly make proposals to the membership, rather than relying on the leadership committee to make proposals |
