Simple Initial Bootstrappable Framework for COI Membership

The Call to Action:1. Understand and align with COI principles and practices

2. Self-declare COI Membership (opt-in

(via unidirectional

“Communication and Commitment to Collaborate” (CCC)))

3. Declare objectives, values, charter, RoE

Be explicit about “social benefit” objective(s)

4. Conduct retrospectives (introspectives) and publish findings

(within the team, transparent to community?)

5. Leverage and Be Leveraged (non “zero-sum”)

6. Conduct mutual retrospectives (peerspectives) (transparent to

community?)



CCCs – Weaving the Conscious Web

Proposed conventions and practices?• Declare and Publish COI “I, We, World” Statement:

– Conscious action – how each dimension is enhanced / supported by execution

– credo / values / mapping / alignment / commitment strategy

– Transparency / Commitment / Proactivity

– Gestalt / community world view

– Display COI logo

• Leverage: – Create new projects, entities, objectives… as alignment is discovered and … strengthened

– Leverage consciousness, transparency, receptivity, openness

– Reflected in the “COI Filing”

– Network the impact of membership network

• Engage in regular or continuing retrospectives (Bootstrapping)– Introspectives / Learning

– Peerspectives / Learning / Checks & Balances

– Community “self”-governance

– Mutual accountability (non-centralized, non-hierarchical)

– Network the learning practice

– Publish retrospectives and make execution / operations transparent

• Within levels / circles of “trust” / transparency (immediate “partners”, entire COI, or “world”?)

• Statements as well as retrospectives content

• Coi.<<entity>>.TLD or <<entity>>.COI

• COI itself performing the retrospectives practices (intro- / peer-)
