For the emerging design of
commons.hour
, see commons.hour - programme rationaleFor
commons.hour
as a regular 'branded' event, see commons.hour - the venue
commons.hour
is part of the organisational machinery for stewarding the meet.coop commons.
commons.hour
is a monthly meeting held on the fourth Monday, at 18:00 UTCthe meeting lasts for 60 minutes
the meeting takes place here https://de.meet.coop/b/mik-pov-htz-fvi
commons.hour
has extra.time of 30 minutes afterwards, for informal connections and follow-through (includingoffers-&-wants
) among whoever chooses to staycommons.hour
and extra.time are facilitatedmeetings normally are in English language, but we will expand out of this
the standard format is 15min presentations followed by 40min open exchange
commons.hour
is the main bridge - the most regular and approachable bridge - between user members and operational members, and one of the essential venues for multistakeholder stewarding in meet.coop, along with the the Community circle and the General Assembly. Matters promoted in commons.hour
are taken to the Community circle for operational development, by Community circle operational members, who also bring matters from the circle to commons.hour
for consideration by user members.
A nominated member of each other Circle - Tech, Operations, Product - should participate. It might make sense if if these were the spokespersons - ie, the Council members. But this won't always be appropriate.
xxx Scheduling of presentations - protocols including prior publishing of material for discussion, the mix of user and operations presenters, the mix of ‘sectors’ of the wider community, and prioritising of topics
xxx Working relationship between commons.hour
as a standing assembly, and the Community circle - user members as operational members of the circle, scheduling and provisioning of commons.hour
, paid contributions, etc
xxx Facilitating - protocols including starting and finishing on time, note-taking, ‘raising hands’ to speak, etc
xxx Meeting format - protocols including extra.time, wants-&-offers and colonial language apology
