Collective design & continuous improvement of OuiShare’s governance

Hei everyone! Ok, so here is the first (evolutive) team people who answered the call :
Etienne, Simone, Myriam, Thomas, Francesca, Maud, Nelly, Cristobal, Jocelyn & Elena.

As we discussed it at the summit, now next step is to decide together on a method we want to use to drive that collective design process. I started a very quick rough reflexion on the drive: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Of-oN79gRm1YTuPv1zHe_REG6ESkBEqDzpg-EqtN3s/edit?usp=sharing but I know @simonecicero you had some proposal on that point. Can you share it? I propose you all to list on the document the different options/ideas for the method to use for that collective design process. I also started a reflexion on the roles/tools linked to that process.

Let's plan a hangout to open a more direct discussion about the method/timeline/roles/tools, before we can make a proposal and share it with everyone on Loomio. Here is a doodle with different dates & times in the coming two weeks: http://doodle.com/qafuwbb7c35e5ntq.

Have a nice day!
Love :-)

Oh, and I forgot a question: should we put the governance design process into the participatory budgeting? I remember we discussed about a budget for it during the summit... but I'm not sure... I feel like it's more a core global activity than a "project". Shouldn't it enter the general participatory system?

Ciao! Very Good Job, the amount of work done on governance is daunting. regarding your punctual requests:

• doodle done (I suggest we set an end date)

• process for creating the next iteration of governance process: I suggest we use the QUEST process from Nilofer Merchant which is basically 4 phases process,

  QUESTION (gathering information about what we are deciding about + information that contributes to the decision)
  ENVISION (proposing new solutions, merging choices, coming up with possible multiple possible ways to experiment)
  SELECT (evaluate together the KPIs for the choice)
  TAKE (Choose the best proposal according to that + put experiment into action)

• budget: I think this relates to the thread started by Francesca so I suggest we consider this a governance task, so to be accounted in the global budget (will explain briefly on the other thread how I suggest to start doing)

I would suggest we try to fund it from the "global operations funding pot" that I suggested we create in my last loomio post (and don't find it from the participatory budget)

for inspiration, here's my attempt at synthesizing the Summit #democracy-discussions on a Litemap: https://litemap.net/map.php?id=88161481820643021001436289760 cc @myriamboure

Thanks for your inputs @simonecicero!
For the doodle, let's say deadline is next Wednesday 25th, so Thursday 26th we confirm the date.
For the budget great suggestion @francesca.
Thanks also @auli for the link :-)

Just a quick reminder to those who said they wanted to be part of the team! @etiennezoupic @thomasdonnebrink @maud1 @nelly1 @cristobalgracia @elenagiroli, that would be great if you could fill in the doodle, if possible by tomorrow (Wednesday 26th) evening so that we can confirm the date and free the other dates pre-booked in people agenda :-) Thanks in advance! http://doodle.com/qafuwbb7c35e5ntq.
@cristobalgracia I know you will be back only after the 7th, so we'll try to choose a date after that if most people can ;-)

thanks @myriamboure for facilitating the process and next steps, and for the great review of all existing resources, I will dig into it before the first HO. I don't have yet many inputs on the global methodology we should follow, I just think we shouldn't try to find "the perfect solution" but work more on a learning process, prototype, test and learn, because I'm afraid of spending too much time on theory about governance (even if I do enjoy theory) and not enough on doing!
thanks also for your work @auli

Hi everyone! Ok so given the results of the doodle, and taking into account the fact that Cristobal is back on the 7th, the HO will take place on Thursday 10th September from 18:00 to 19:00 CEST. I launch the invitations on google agenda.
That would be great if we could all have a look and contribute/comment to this document if you want to share thoughts on the method: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14Of-oN79gRm1YTuPv1zHe_REG6ESkBEqDzpg-EqtN3s/edit?usp=sharing
Here is also a first list of identified documents that deal with governance in the drive: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qZx-ozQAGCg80g-F9_SUHX6c2kopZEQ-cmHUPr37iFk/edit?usp=sharing

Perfect don't forget to add the meeting in the calendar/OS Hangouts
