Approach

Approach of the Approach

• transparency
• wholism
• absorbing and integrating good suggestions
• open, honest
• we've been working hard

languaging:

• exploring these things
• differentiate between "OGM Foundation" and "OGM community"
  • (is it two things? more things? does it have fractal and/or holographic nature?)
  • what are the relationships between the different OGMs?
• why Lionsberg?
  • leverage of larger community
  • approaching possibility of financing / funding for OGM goals
  • Steward Ownership relative to other models (platform cooperative, FairShares, etc.)
    • They're not mutually exclusive (not either/or)

what we might communicate / maybe not all at once

what media and method do we use to communicate

• Google Slides presentation, then record it and share it? (current fav)
• Massive wiki pages, which we share live in a pop-up OGM call?

include FAQs, anticipated questions/resistance and have answers laid out before communicating

Workplan and Timeline

phase 1:

• heads up - lionsberg and money in the mix, conversations in progress, intensifying in focus and coherence
• alignment process happened - it was reasonably awesome
• stewards have just agreed to move forward

phase 2:

• now we are in the process of organizing the MOU/ SOW

where, when and how: email to list / forum / mattermost

• special meeting (or two) (tbd)
• follow-up call(s) with OGM members at large (tbd)
  • include FAQs, anticipated questions/resistance and have answers laid out in Communication Plan

Communication Norms

We'll use the ~[ogm] Stewards channel in Mattermost for communication.
