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. Reading the Council Orientation is a good idea before attending a meeting.
The council works by Consensus.
