commons.hour - The programme

Here we describe commons.hour - the live multistakeholder deliberation space in meet.coop.

Updated: 06sep2021

Here we describe commons.hour, the project through which we will design and initiate the practical frame of multistakeholder governance in meet.coop.

commons.hour is a participatory design venue under principles of design justice, building tools for conviviality in the spaces of the coop’s commons: platform spaces, media spaces and venue spaces. When we're through the development phase, commons.hour will become the regular live multistakeholder deliberation space of the coop. At the present stage, commons.hour is a live prototype.

These pages present the project's intentions and agenda:

• Invitation to `commons.hour` - Why we're doing this, what you may want to get from participating

• Basic links for the programme

• Programme & presenters - The rationale of the programme of sessions

• Defining what meet.coop does - Handbook sections, building a commons

• Prototyping and collaborating - Evolving a stack of workspaces

• What meet.coop is for - Designing & mobilising an infrastructure, principles

• Running list of sessions (workplan) - a scheduled sequence of twelve-or-so monthly instances of commons.hour, over a 12-month period, and other events that are the staged outcomes of the project’s work, notably the initial General Assembly.

And these pages describe methodology and design approach:

• Session protocols - How the sessions work.

• Protocols pre- and post-session - The cycle: session setup and follow-through

• commons.hour methodology - How the project works.

• Design and prototyping in commons.hour
