== Governance Documentation Review ==

Free Geek is an extraordinary example of workplace democracy. This governance documentation review project supports democracy by making the Free Geek governance structure more transparent. If democracy is governance by the people, then the people need to know where their own power is, eh? Maybe one good outcome of the review would be a pretty power chart with "you are here" signs all over it. We'll see how it develops.

For now, the first step is to review our existing documentation of decision making processes and power relations inside Free Geek and then between Free Geek projects across the country. The next step is to compare the documents with current understandings of how things work and how they should work.

The council has expressed enthusiastic support for this project and I'd love to hear from volunteers interested in contributing to it.
