Here are the minutes post convention

In addition we will be using the online white board, Mural. It is an easy-to-use visual tool that increases participation.  You will need a computer (rather than a phone) to be able to interact with Mural.  If you do not have access to a computer for the meeting, please let us know ahead of time and we will pair you with another meeting participant.  You do NOT need to create a Mural account to participate. You will enter the Mural as a guest.  It is not necessary to do any practicing or tutorials ahead of time - we will spend a few minutes in the meeting getting everybody up to speed - but it will make the process less stressful/more enjoyable if you at lease read the Mural basics handout and poke around for a few minutes on the practice mural.

Please fill out this Statement of Candidacy for Elected Office if you are interested in running for office in 2024

 

AT THIS CONVENTION

FUNDAMENTAL DISCUSSIONS ON HOW WE RELATE TO EACH OTHER

STRATEGIC PLAN AND CAMPAIGNS 2024

 

How are the various parties to relate to each other?  How are decisions made?  Who can speak for the party?  These and other issues have been debated following the Large Group Consensus process inspired by the Haudenosaunee (known to the American colonial leaders as the Iroquois Confederation). 

HERE IS A LINK TO THE PROPOSED NEW CONSTITUTION AND BYLAWS

ALL DOCUMENTS AND VIDEOS can be found in this convention folder

 

These conversations took place in the "Organizational Structure" subgroup and our various social media accounts  FBIGX?.  We encourage you to join us on the Groups.io platform. 

We strive to reach consensus, so YOU can have a voice in the decisions because we use a modified consensus process.  We go to a vote only when there is a group unwilling to stand aside; this avoids stalemates.
