*Should we establish working groups?*
Currently, there appear to be no formal roles responsible for managing
Sudoroom. I think this can lead to all critical functions falling onto a
small number of people. At the same time, we've recently seen an increase
in new members looking to contribute. If we were to define what functions
need done and invite individuals to assume responsibility for these, we
could share burdens more broadly by making it easier for willing volunteers
to organize themselves and lend their support to the collective.
I think a good starting set of working group would be for membership,
operations, and finances, although I think establishing or disbanding a
working group should be at the whim of any member, rather than something
formal.
I would propose that a working group consists of anyone (and everyone) who
asks to participate in one. The groups would have no special formal power,
they'd just be a way of identifying people who are offering to help manage
a set of functions. If access to anything has to be limited to less than
the entire working group (for instance banking access), the responsibility
will be decided by consensus within the working group.
Thoughts? What working groups would you suggest? Are there any functions
for which you'd like to volunteer?
