Revision as of 15:52, 23 June 2009
The council makes decisions for FREE GEEK, specifically decisions that influence multiple areas of operation or working groups, decisions that have to do with long-term or overarching goals and policy, and decisions that might be controversial. Some of these duties are traditionally the in domain of a board of directors. Our board mostly deals with financial and legal oversight and some professional networking.
The Free Geek Community Council is the group responsible for the long term vision of Free Geek. It enacts policy that is:
- overarching, affecting all of Free Geeks, OR
- cross-group, not as big as overarching, but affects multiple groups (if those groups can't coordinate the policy on their own), OR
- controversial in nature.
Any volunteer or worker can be a member of the council. The council works by Consensus.
Current Topics of Discussion
The future of Free Geek
We are currently pondering the Meta Question with the help ot the Optimization and Priorities group.
Policy
Council Meetings
Community Council meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month.
There is a Meeting Template that may be used when setting up to take minutes for a council meeting. (Remember to copy commitments from the previous meeting's minutes.)
