Re: [sudo-discuss] [omnilogistics] [OMNI] Proposals up for consensus

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Thanks everyone for the valuable feedback and suggestions! I agree with many of the sentiments expressed on this thread. I've started organizing the responses to this proposal here: https://pad.riseup.net/p/omnivoting [1] I would ask that anyone interested in voting procedures in the Omni assist in fine-tuning the 'Amendments' section at the top of the page. You can also join us at the sudo meeting tomorrow or the Omni meeting Thursday at 7pm. I will do my best to articulate the concerns of everyone in this thread. To that end, anyone is welcome to come to a Thursday meeting and speak to the topics at hand. I would very much like to hand off delegatory responsibility to another awesome sudoer! (Jeremy? Arnas? Julio?) and would support a regular rotating sudo delegate. Yar is also a sudo delegate - we have been trading the role off as our schedules allow :) Arnas did a great job standing in for me improv last week when I wanted to focus on mesh. I would like to focus on mesh more! I am also involved in three of Omni's working groups, bottom-lining one of them (though I've slacked a bit over June/July due to travels). Want to help with communications, building maintenance, challenging dominant culture, or governance? Have another idea for a much-needed working group? Ping me, or join the mailing list, or add to the wiki, or come to a meeting. Omni calendar is at http://wiki.omni-oakland.org/w/Calendar [2] Very pertinent to this thread are the notes from tonight's Omni governance meeting [1 [3]], in which we call for decentralization of power and responsibility through increasing the autonomy of working groups, propose adoption of a Safe Space Policy / Code of Conduct among all collectives [2 [4]], request that each collective either create a Conflict Resolution Process or adopt the Omni's (which has adopted Sudo's) [3 [5]], and propose a new meeting format in which we begin our Thursday meetings with breakout sessions for each working group to work independently, then report-back to the larger group. We're doing something awesome here: Making history.
