Such an amazing and wonderful contribution to this thread and to the forum! Thank you for sharing your energy, your work and your important experiences overcoming the challenges of large direct democracies. It is also very inspiring to see you post your powerful and direct insights in Portuguese!
I believe the motivating vision for many members is the establishment of a safe, fair, dignified digital space where people can build powerful democratic economies around music linking local needs to international communities.
So bravo to you for making it so!
Peace Marco! Hugs in return!

Hi @boopboop! My english is not the best too - hehehe, but It will be an amazing exchange of histories and learning experience talking to you. Iâm a musician, but in Resonate, just a curios member.
Thanks to everyone who came to the assembly today! It was amazing to experiment with making proposals, improving them, and collaborating in a new way using the âdemocracy fieldâ. Iâm really excited for new methods like this that foster smooth, interactive discussions and decisions.
Truly everyone who showed up got to leave their mark on what we did today, and Iâm so inspired by that.
I have our records and video from the assembly and will be sharing them here tomorrow. Today, I need to rest. Been a long week.
Folks wanted to continue our assembly at the same time next Saturday, so get ready for Part 2! Looking forward to it and for others to share their ideas. Iâll create a new event in the forum, and weâll get that going.
Really appreciate yâall and everything you do here Onward!
Iâd like to suggest moving the session back an hour. So: 2021-10-16T16:00:00Z â 2021-10-16T18:00:00Z. This would push the meeting back to 9am in my region, the Pacific coast of america, which is a bit more accommodating to the concept of having a weekend than 8am provides.
Which brings up more proposals:
a) That there be a public backlog of proposals.
b) That there be a polling process so that Members in the Forum may recommend the order of consideration of proposals by the attendees to the Assembly. (I suggest that the Assembly should make its own determinations of priorities âin the momentâ but I believe that being informed by collective sentiment will help guide and improve the work of the Assembly.)
This reminds me of recent discussions in several threads that suggest that the implementation of a Membership-base Community Credential could underpin access to a broad range of vital services deployed and governed through the Forum, the Player and other spaces both inside and outside Resonateâs service areas (eg. in the inter-cooperative ecosystem and beyond).
Unfortunately, it seems that Big Blue Buttonâs built-in video recording doesnât capture our cursors/names moving around on screen. So weâll have to find a different solution for recording and saving these â probably OBS. And weâll need a place to host them.
@Sam_Martyn Drop it in Co-operation and tag @catalog Tag @LLK and @boopboop too so they have opportunity to mention the newsletter going to spam. Gotta know about it to fix it!
In general, it isnât too important where a new topic gets put. Just get it out there! If itâs important to find the perfect home for it, Iâm happy to move it myself
I donât want to add complexity too fast, but the polling/ranking idea seems simple enough. Also, the polling process would encourage folks to discuss and refine proposals before bringing them to the assembly. Iâm considering the tag #proposals to be our backlog.
If we could set up a tool on the #proposals page itself for voting proposals up or down, that would be a very easy way to prioritize them! Iâm pretty confident Discourse has tools like that. @angus?
Iâm referring to these as âproposalsâ rather than say, âmotionsâ so that each of our kinds of gatherings uses a unique word for the decisions it makes:
Proposals â Community Assemblies
Motions â Board Meetings
Resolutions â General Meetings
Having different names for these should help us keep track of whatâs what.
