B / Terms of reference - logical framework of a self-directed overall committee activities in the WSF 2016

1 / General Purpose Committee of a comprehensive self-directed activities (ECA):

• 6 / "fair visibility", obtained in the world social territory through the allocation (and eventual decision by WG programming based on criteria defined in advance) permanent places where the animation of the assembly can be centered

3 / The Missions Committee of an overall self-directed activity in the WSF 2016

The whole activity and his committee are self organized. Its missions are those that the committee gives to achieve its shared purpose in accordance with the principles of the WSF charter, and the terms of the collective interests defined by FSM 2016 Montreal facilitation.

4 / Some point vigilance suggestions for operating a local committee

• 1 / Clarity of purpose announced for this set, and internal operation of the entire committee. Participants in the committee call people with the right to publish the record of all the fsm2016 site.
• 2 / Respect the decisions by the hosts protocols committee that the committee provides. An overall committee can bring a word, a collective "we" in the WSF space, since the decision protocols and advertising these statements are defined and respected within the committee. The business preparers groups included in the Committee are invited to co-define and enforce these protocols.

5 / Principles and elements for the development of all internal and Associated committee

• 2 / To promote diversity and inclusiveness and according to established practice in the WSF, a participating organization can not be a leader (*) of more than 5 activities in the WSF 2016, and can be present as co -préparatrice in a lot of activities. (*) The lead agency for an activity is one that is considered ultimately responsible activity by Montreal GTA and support the local committee participation
• 3 / A preparer of a group activity can ask to be included in several sets and several committees, since the expectations of each Committee on the content and form of the activity due to its inclusion in these various sets are deemed compliant by interested
• 4 / The Committee shall ensure that the content of the date the form the place of each of all the component activities is consistent with the overall structure of the committee defined according to its finalité.En case of inconsistency between a set and an activity part, the WG will consider priority programming options preparer group activity.
• 5 / set can include several activities become "assemblies" (a group of business preparer 5 organizations from two continents may request that his activity becomes a meeting) - For example, a kit may include an identification meeting of initiatives and a valuation of Assembly initiatives that have been discussed during the self programmed activities between.
• 6 / The Committee cooperates with the GT programming and with groups pickers each activity component so that the programming is known realistic coherent and may be more readily observed by the GT programming in cooperation with the logistics WP and WG service participants .

6 / considerations on the relationship between self-directed whole committee and the group facilitation FSM2016 Montreal

• 1 / Self-managed areas and their associated committees are simple forms of collective participation, voluntary and optional in the open space of the WSF intercommunication horizontal and only in 2016, they do not have a facilitative role of the WSF 2016, nor mandate of facilitating WSF 2016 Montreal Collective. and does not enjoy exclusivity or prérogativepar compared to other types participants.Ils are therefore can not invoke it in other participating organizations in the WSF 2016 or be a must to participate in the WSF.
• 2 / set and its overall committee via its dynamic growth of cooperation and are bringing new players into the open space of the WSF and this contributes to the mobilization for WSF 2016,
•  3 / The Collective can allocate if possible, depending on the logistical resources available, and fair size criteria etc. a permanent place of world social territory together with one or more of activity.   This place called "space" allows the committee to operate from August 9 to 14 and continuously offer flexible animations. It can accommodate a party, and some only, of all the activities (principle of diversity). A self-directed ensemble animates committee or co-hosts as the case this permanent location (this space ")
• 4 / A Self whole committee can therefore be based informally with another set of self-managed committee, including co-manage a "space" allocated by the co-GT program. or to co-manage the activities included in the two together, which can be a way to cross and related actions
• 5 / An overall committee is not a director of a "zone" World Social Territory. anim ator or a dimension / welcoming thematic axis in the website fsm2016.net all the activities that their preparation Group located in these dimensions. These facilitation roles fall under the GT program
• 6 /   The overall committees are invited to ensure that some of their participant (s) is as contributors in the GT program sub-working groups

• 7 / WG programming respects the fullest extent of internal programming can be self built by a set (sequencing close synchronization of all activities.
• After consultation with the committee of the whole, and taking, in case of inconsistency, which is in the business card as a reference, it program
• part of all activities in "space" that has been allocated to this one,
• another part "nearby" of this space,
• a third party "around the World Social Territory", with also chosen, and
• fourth part "elsewhere" with random addition
• The distinction of these four category to be assessed according to the size of the total and proportion out activities together is a creative mix of programming means and technical flexibility for programming

•
