steps:
|
|
- headline: Convene the assembly
|
|
description: >-
|
|
All members of the cooperative or organisation are convened. The
|
|
assembly is the sovereign body; no smaller group can override it.
|
|
- headline: Present with full information
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Proposals are presented with full financial, social, and strategic
|
|
information, shared in advance so members arrive prepared.
|
|
- headline: Deliberate horizontally
|
|
description: >-
|
|
Discussion proceeds without hierarchy of rank. A facilitator manages
|
|
turn-taking; all members may speak, including the newest.
|
|
- headline: Decide by majority or consensus
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly decides by the agreed threshold — often majority, sometimes
|
|
consensus — with dissent recorded and the reasons stated.
|
|
- headline: Mandate the governing council
|
|
description: >-
|
|
The assembly mandates the governing council to implement the
|
|
decision, with the council accountable back to the next assembly.
|
|
outcome: >-
|
|
A decision is made by the full membership, with the governing council
|
|
mandated and accountable, in a form that keeps sovereignty with the
|
|
assembly.
|
|
practice: >-
|
|
Full information in advance is the discipline. An assembly that decides
|
|
without prior information is a rubber stamp. The council implements but
|
|
does not overrule. |
