We explicitly told the participants in the design team meeting that
we needed to get buy-in from all the collectives and get the
delegates approval that Becoming Omni will make decisions for the
Omni as a whole. In response the group created an "inreach" working
group called "Working Within the System", which at the moment is Yar
and Joel, to take responsibility for this. You may have missed these
parts of the meeting, Robb. They have begun going to the
collectives' meetings. <br>
Also, Tomorrow an email is going out on the discuss listserv with
information about the working groups that have formed and inviting
anyone to join them.<br>

do the becoming omni facilitators plan to make it clear to the
participants that the collectives' delegates will have to get
approval from their collectives in order for any substantial
change to take place on the ground at the omni? how do they
plan on informing the collectives' members who do not attend
as to the progress of the process?<br>

</span>Just to be very clear, this is an open-ended process
where nothing is<br>
pre-ordained, which will depend entirely on who shows up and
what they<br>
want. If people show up wanting to turn Omni into a
Kafkaesque<br>
dystopia, then yes, that could "potentially" be the result.
But I<br>
doubt it.<br>
