[sudo-discuss] Re: meeting notes from 2023-09-20

It wasn't Jake, and I didn't call the person out because that was less important to me than the fact nobody else called them out when it happened. If I took the bait every time I experience that kind of passive aggression, being attacked from behind a mask of civility, I would be in a straitjacket and under heavy sedation by now. What I am interested in is understanding how likely the possibility of remediating what appears to be a socially dysfunctional intentional community. I see a lot of resentment, consequentially little trust, and no general understanding, agreement on, nor consent to a cohesive system of self-governance. Self-Governance is more than intellectual understanding, it is a skill set that has to be studied and practiced. If funds will be spent, then I suggest hiring an outside consultant for analysis; planning, and establishing democratic norms that can be trusted. I advocate consideration of a sociocratic decision support system. https://sociocracyforall.org/start-here/
