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.
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.

I changed the thread name.

should prolly have started a new thread for this

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?

thx

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