This is the policy and documentation for the [[Organizing Circle]]. | This is the policy and documentation for the [[Organizing Circle]]. | ||
A policy is a general rule designed to establish common procedures. The expectation is that policies will reduce the need for groups to make one-of decisions, increase transparency of group operations, and be iterative for organizational evolution. | |||
''References on policy development:'' | |||
* This is loosely modeled on https://www.sociocracyforall.org/policy-and-operations/ | |||
== Strategic priorities == | |||
'''Context''': During the last two OC meetings, we identified the following points (see https://share.mayfirst.org/s/WyKxiJ8C4gLbFxf) | |||
'''Proposal''': We adopt the topics and calendar proposed in the share drive (https://share.mayfirst.org/s/WyKxiJ8C4gLbFxf) and move it over to a wiki page. For reference the below recap narrative is provided: | |||
''Emergent themes in our 30 January 2025 meeting as of the time of writing were: strategic guidance on financing and technical services, onboarding both general social.coop and working group members, setting up an equity assessment and planning group, ongoing improvement of OC documentation and operations, facilitating 'Big Topic' conversation with general social.coop (including: decision making process, and interaction with other instances), and capacity building for self governance and management work of social.coop.'' | |||
'''Metrics:''' Development of policy associated with these topics that everyone feels good about. | |||
==== Status: Aceppted 6 month term, reviewed in June 2025 ==== | |||
== Documenting a proposal == | |||
'''Context''': We need to clearly record decisions made for future reference and track when these decisions come up for review in order to keep the documentation fresh. | |||
'''Proposal''': | |||
* The wiki will be updated when a policy decision is made inside organizing circle. A policy decision is a group agreement that is expected to guide repeated future actions. | |||
* Policies will have terms for review as well as metrics for success of the policy. The dates of these terms will be added chronologically to the back log and the construction of the agenda will take these dates into consideration. | |||
'''Metrics''': There are no stale policy decisions that have not been reviewed in a timely manner within one month of review date | |||
==== Status: Accepted 6 months term - revisit February 2025 ==== | |||
Expectation of 1yrs terms there after | |||
