== Working Groups ==
[[Governance#Working Groups|Working groups]] (and their affiliated ops teams) are elected from and accountable to the membership, to execute the roles and responsibilities needed to keep social.coop running. They have greater administration access than would be afforded general membership, but work according to policies provided by their corresponding working group.
 
* [[Community Working Group]] - moderation, and anything concerning members and outreach.
* [[Finance Working Group]] - payments, budgeting, fundraising, and related planning.
* [[Legal Working Group]] (currently dormant) - oversight on legal matters
* [[Tech Working Group]] - all things hosting, site maintenance, and development.
* [[Organizing Circle]] - new in 2024! Aims to coordinate the work of working groups and ops teams, providing a space for ongoing strategic conversation and facilitating greater member participation in both operations and governance. Each other working group sends one member to be part of the Organizing Circle.

The groups are self-managed. Some are paid with stipends, while others volunteer.
