Winter Workshops

This conversation is to allocate time and personnel into each Organizational Circle. We will then identify concrete next steps for meeting in Summer and Fall 2025.

This conversation is to review the sociocratic model of the organization. We will identify the key activities within each organizational circle, and name the time and personnel requirements.

This conversation is to take a big-picture look at the discussion and decisions. Do our decisions and priorities make sense?

This conversation is to distill the list of features/activities in the Network into the ones indispensable to achieving our mission/vision. We will first consider what a barebones Network would look like, ignoring practicality, and from there think about a more concrete and realistic scenario. 

This conversation is to explore the phase space of scenarios the Network will face in the near future, and discuss reasonable actions plans for each scenario. We will identify the most critical factors necessary for the Network’s successful functioning and the most uncertain elements that affect the Network.
