Here we describe the architecture of venues in which the work of stewarding & provisioning in meet.coop is done: assemblies & reviews, deliberations & choices, design practices & cultural exchanges.

**Assemblies** - face-to-face venues for meet.coop stewarding - are:

* [**Circles**](/handbook-trial/4-assemblies-and-deliberations/assemblies-and-deliberations/circles.md), under broadly sociocratic principles - operational members
* [**Standing assembly**](/handbook-trial/4-assemblies-and-deliberations/assemblies-and-deliberations/standing-assembly-all-hands.md) (all-hands) - operational members
* [**commons.hour**](/handbook-trial/4-assemblies-and-deliberations/assemblies-and-deliberations/commons.hour.md) - operational members, user members
* [**General assembly**](/handbook-trial/4-assemblies-and-deliberations/assemblies-and-deliberations/general-assembly.md) - operational members, user members, Circles
* [Board of stewards](/handbook-trial/4-assemblies-and-deliberations/assemblies-and-deliberations/council.md) - proxy for General assembly, between assemblies; effectively a Circle of nominated spokespeople for each Circle, operating on behalf of the multistakeholder General Assembly. Convenes the General Assembly
* etc?

Media spaces for **deliberation** within meet.coop stewarding are:

* [The forum](/handbook-trial/4-assemblies-and-deliberations/assemblies-and-deliberations/the-forum.md) - specific nominated categories/threads in the forum? `A decisions & polls thread/category?`
* [Polls](/handbook-trial/4-assemblies-and-deliberations/assemblies-and-deliberations/polls.md) (?)
* etc?
