A conversation with Fabi and Rieki about the state of SEEDS and what could be next as we do some sense-making and map making.<br /><br />Links at bottom.<br /><br />In Summary:<br /><br />Commons Organisations prepare for Day 1 & 2 of the Roundtable as a space for us to all share what we’ve been up to and help provide 1 time/place for us to sense-make on all that’s happened over the last 5 years. <br /><br />Day 2 is the place for any existing or NEW organisation that wants to join the SEEDS Commons to come present their case <br /><br />See here for details<br /><a href="https://explore.joinseeds.earth/1.-seeds-foundations-start-here/v/seasons-organizational-rhythm/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://explore.joinseeds.earth/1.-seeds-foundations-start-here/v/seasons-organizational-rhythm/</a><br /><br />March Equinox’s Roundtable: <br /><br />This is our first go at this roundtable model - we can look at this as a live test and actively improve it for the next season:<br /><br />Key items from my PoV for the March to June Season<br /><br />1. We test run the Roundtable process for establishing the Commons, our first go at budgeting and running a Season as a collection of organisations. <br /><br />2. Set up the SEEDS currency family and start capitalizing the Commons so that the June Season can have more momentum and energy behind it.<br /><br />3. Every Commons organization goes through the process of setting up their own DHO - Hypha (I and any others in Hypha that want to help) will help Commons Organisations as the first DHOs!<br /><br />4. We can iterate and evolve on the Seasons / Roundtable process to get ready for the June Solstice. <br /><br />5. Every Commons organization who wants to be part of SEEDS going forward prepares their presentations to the roundtable. <br /><br />6. What about SEEDS Governance? In the Seasons proposal a “Governance Season” is selected if an organisation proposes during the Roundtable to take on implementing (Hypha or similar) and organising the conversation (Renaissance Explorers or similar) and storytelling (DHO Tell or similar) for the Governance process.<br /><br />7. The ability with our SEEDS Commons is to be able to host this discussion and get consent from all necessary organisations at the start of a Season before attempting any action that requires a coordinated effort. Then the Citizens decide what happens through which Organisations are voted into the Commons (so if the 3 orgs mentioned above and proposed to do a governance seasons for SEEDS and the Citizens vote them in, then we can go about the work of Governance and have all the organs/DHOs working together to make it happen).<br /><br />8. Then the Commons orgs can all say how much operational capital they need (money up front to pay for life) in order to make the Season happen. <br /><br />9. If the Commons doesn’t have the capital necessary in their treasury - then we now have a “fundraising target” to put out to our community to help fund the Season.<br /><br />10. Ideally with the new 3 currency model there are a few creative pathways for the C<br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc76_w-Y9ok" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc76_w-Y9ok</a>
