Hi Micru,
How about documenting your insights on here. I know a number of people in the Roles & Responsibilities group have been reading with interest, thank you very much for sharing.

@Benjamin: It is already there, as answer to Farkhad.
@Ziko: I have no idea where to store this. If you find a suitable place, please go ahead and let me know.

Hello, maybe there is a suitable place on Meta Wiki to conserve this?
Later
it will be a little bit difficult to find it again on a mailinglist. I myself find this point of view of "outsiders" very interesting and
worth
to notice e.g. in strategic discussions. Kind regards Ziko

Hi Bodhisattwa,
*Governance recommendation * I assisted to a session on sociocracy organized by the Transition
Network
that basically blew my mind. The speaker explained how for her it has
been
always difficult to participate in decision-making because she feels
that
she is a very vocal person, and she felt that with democracy it was
mostly
about taking sides and wining or losing, which was quite disappointing
for
her. Then she started to explain the sociocratic principles of decision
by
consent, and what does that mean.
What is interesting about sociocracy itself, is not the process or the method, but how it challenges the participants to truly understand the meaning of a decision, and their own relationship with it. Objections
are
seen as a gift that will help improve the proposal, once they have been properly understood. Normally it takes effort from the participants to address their own personal issues as well, because they have an impact
on
how the group can operate.
Trust can be built during in person sessions, and it is necessary for
the
group to operate smoothly. Sociocracy is not for people who like to accumulate power, or are not able to share power with others, and that
can
drive people away. On the other hand, those who stay feel more included
and
supported by the organisation. There is also an element of celebration, which sometimes we forget. Taking decisions is hard work, and we should celebrate when we reach one.
Sociocracy it is easy to grasp, but difficult to master. The members of
the
Transition Network had to undergo a training during a long time at the Université de Nous, to become proficient in this method. There is also
a
software that assists self-organization: https://www.holaspirit.com/

Hello,
Last Friday I participated in a workshop in Brussels where people
from
different NGOs met to learn from each other to foster flat, democratic, and diverse organisations. I was one of four speakers
in
a
"world cafe" format (basically a circle where participants can interact with the speaker). I represented the Wikimedia movement
in
general, with the intention that participants would learn from
our
movement, and so that I would learn from them. There were also
Open
Space sessions.
If there is interest, I can share with you my insights on any of
these
topics:
- External perception of the movement
- Recommendations to the WMF
- Governance recommendations for the movement
- Community model for affiliates
- How to increase diversity
There is a lot to say about each topic, so please ask only about
the
topic you have genuine interest in. If there is no interest, I'm
ok
keeping it to myself.
Regards, Micru
