CHALLENGES to be faced in the consultation/discussion in and around group G2
- WHAT IS WSF PROCESS?seen by a caring community as IC has tried to be,WHAT ARE THE MISSIONS OF IC ?WHAT IS THE RELATIONBETWEEN IC AND other facilitation bodies that could emerge ( see questions Q1 SCOPE and Q2 MISSIONS)
- a reflection on 4 formal possible areas for wsfprocess and the sustaining actions with those areas
- outside wsf event organizing strictly speaking (perimeter A where IC WSF was created and is fully legitimate) , a wsf caring community can sustain or increase the influence/legitimacyof IC through efficiency of its process and through intercommunication proposed with possible groupsand initiatives inside perimeters A/ B/ D/)
-
NAME? FROM IC (international council) TO CC ( caring community ) to CI ( caring initiative ) ? ( see questions4)
why not change name : from international council to "caring community" or caring "initiative" – caring about wsf / communauté curatrice = prenant soin du fsm – comunidad de cuidado -cuidando del fsm-.
- "caring" motivates to "facilitate" and to "contribute" - not just to "counsel" and "decide"
- "community" or "initiative" means some operating rules and a membership process
WHAT TO DO IN SUCH A COUNCIL GROUP/ COMMUNITY/initiative- how to act as ic ( see questions5 about action of ic )
- explore a review of working groupsin IC/CI of past present and future groups or attemps of groups –
- this is a way to stimulate memory of what has been doneor attempted or imagined in ten years of IC - and imagination aboutwhat could be donein the future
- balance the energy dedicated to the 4 main situations in the community meetings
HOW TO WORK HOW TO HOLD CC/CI TOGETHER WITHOUT A formal/informal CENTRAL GROUP(liaison group which bred conducts of delegation inside IC) ( see questions10 on organization - and Q12 13 14 about the meetings)
- institute –“changing functional & structural groups” -
- they are called "structural" because they hold the CI/ICtogether – they form the structure of IC
- they are permanent but their composition is meant as fast changing with one cycle of activity (meeting to meeting ) and partial renewal individual and collective rules (no more than 3 consecutive participations, and minimum 50% renewal each time)
- they are inclusive by duty : it is a duty of every caring group member to be active in 1 structural group - so no one in IC/CI can say he/she is not concerned about the various aspects of operation of IC
- lack of active participation in meeting and between meetings , may be linked to lack of motivaiton or lack of vision of what to do
-
institute a status of "contributive member" given by peer to peer review ( accessible to representative and independent alike and a yearly review - ((cifuturG2 about contribution profile))- see contribution 3 part 2 - and a more detailed description of the review protocol
-
develop practice ofopen groups( "distance 1"), where formal community members cooperate with other active wsf process participants
- explore how much timemight community member dedicate to caring about wsf, develop clearer idea of what community members could do and commit to do in and out of meetings
- share the duty to operate stuctural groupsholding the community together and avoiding information and power concentration
-
HOW TO BE INCLUSIVE& MORE EFFICIENT in the formal community caring about wsf process ( see questionsQ6 7 8 9 )
institute a “dual membership” (see details) and accommodate both organizations represetnatives and independent individuals- this is a way to mix culture and ways of partiicpation in wsf process, and include new energies
organizations can PRESENT "independents" in the community , who needs to be presented formally by minimum 3 organizations ( presentation reviewgroup to be organized)
2 representatives per organisation with whatever mandate
3 presented persons max par organisations
target as many independent individualsas representativesin the formal community with equal psosible participation all working groups
