I don't think this is something that can be immediately manifested into a workable structure which is one of the most difficult challenges of trying to build alternatives to existing systems. We're hardwired, within this system to believe that having the right set of systems or guild lines or processes or rules or principles in place will shape up the ship but the reality is: the playing field isn't level, we don't all speak the same language, we don't al sharenthe same experiences, we don't all have the same values or priorities or needs.
And so, we must start from of a place of, " How can I learn?", "What can I do?", and really work with others on a very personal level. Rules and guidelines are all well and good and valuable but nothingness can replace trust and love and those things take time to build.
So I urge you to maintain your enthusiasm and to throw your shoulder to the wheel, metaphorically speaking, and to know you're entering into a powerful and loving community that needs all hands on the actual deck more than they need more brilliant ideas.
I'm glad you're here and I'm not around much myself these days but please know this is not a message intended to discourage you - we're building a new world and we need you and all of the help we can get!
