Proposal

A) Protcols for how new people can join the Woodbine Spokescouncil Planning Working Group

• Attend at least one spokescouncil meeting in-person and then attend a spokescouncil planning meeting in-person to see what is involved and see if it is a good fit for you
• If you want to join, you are expected to fulfill basic labor requirements:
  • 1. show up to most planning meetings and spokescouncil meetings (missing more than two in a row without a clear indicated reason means you may not have capacity right now. You can cycle out and maybe back in when you have more capacity)
  • 2. volunteer to take on action items after meetings and put solid effort into completing them
  • 3. If you become active in the group and later realize you cannot fulfill the above requirements, you agree to let the group know and leave the chat

Comments

• Frankie --> Friendly amendment: can we require that folks come to a Spokes meeting first, in addition to these requirements?
• Frankie --> Other than my friendly amendment, this makes sense to me.
• Ash - I agree with Frankie's comments, I edited the proposal
• ella - If you're active in the group and later realize you cannot fulfil the above requirements, you agree to let the group know and leave the chat
