- Review Sociocratic Agreements
General Discussion and reflections.
ACTIONS:
Acknowledged that a review of our time-bound Sociocractic decisions is in order. E.G. In April of 2006, we agreed to implement the Sociocratic model into our organization for six months, review its effectiveness, and make any changes. Also last year, we agreed to have Laurel sit on the CC for six months as a voting member, for CC continuity, until circles were formed and reps elected to the CC. In March of 2007, we formed the Training Circle, with a six month review built in.
- Review Aim of NCC
Deferred to a later meeting
