Discussion

We should discuss here how the BarCampBankBoard will be elected, what would be its goals and how it will operate. We are not discussing here the BarCampBankMissionStatement. I have paster Christophe's original text and added some of my own. Please contribute to the brainstorming -- FredericBaud

Thoughts? -- ChristopheDucamp (sorry for my english, this page is really inspired by my mentor SunirShah, currently driving a MeatballBoard community-process, and I'd be happy to open any discussion in French on that matter wherever you want...)

I have begun to invite other wikistes to participate, since we have to be international and community-driven. ChrisMessina, LouisMontagne, TaraHunt, SunirShah and SamRose showed some enthusiasm to join. I would suggest also a future Consensus by silent agreement. The rule is quite simple, if there is no consensus please shout here ! -- ChristopheDucamp

What defines a BarCampBankMember with voting privileges ?

Anyone with a homepage in place on *1st October 2006* with a tag BarCampBank are the initial voting pool that constitute the collective. The voting pool can invite new folks into the collective through some as yet to be defined formal process.

Brainstorm Mode

Would the board members have defined roles (e.g. in charge of the communication, server) or not?

• Any decision that cannot be actually enacted by simply doing the work yourself on the site using the same powers as anyone else is an executive decision which the board would have privy over. For instance, moving the site to a new domain, changing the software, or exiling somebody.
  • In keeping with fair software, it's better if one board member paid attention to the community, another paid attention to the technology, and another paid attention to gaining and managing external resources. wino kredyt mieszkaniowy sprzedam mieszkanie sprzedam bilet

Prime responsibilities:

• Board members have both social and technological responsibilities.
• When given a choice between growing power or to devolve power. When no such option is presented, aim to take no action until the ability to DevolvePower is available.
• Protect the corpus.
• Make BarCampBank a SafePlace to work.
• Keep the servers (and domains, properties) running on a ProjectSpace.
• Grow the community.
• Build and Follow the BarCampBankMissionStatement.
• Implement PinkoMarketing insights

Are there any specific roles among the board members?

• Chair: The Chair's responsibility is to maintain the process.
• There should be at least one board member representing each of the areas per country : Technology, Community, Resources (aka Treasurer).
• Secretary: Should rotate each meeting; one person to publish the minutes.

How long would the terms be?

• 1 year -- any shorter would be chaotic, and longer would not reflect the fact that interests change, nor would it respect the right to leave.
  • Starting when ? How about january 1st 2007 ?

Suggestions on how to nominate, elect, and organize this committee.

• Any Barcamp member can nominate either themselves or another person
• Naturally any BarCampBankAttendees is strongly invited to create a personal page and join before 1st october...

-- ChristopheDucamp (I think)

My view is that the BarCampBankMissionStatement comes first. Then the BarCampBankBoard should be elected for a given period (1 year seems fine) to act in line with the BarCampBankMissionStatement. It will have the authority to propose goals to the collective of BarCampBankMembers (could be quaterly goals) and then to act make the agreed goals happen thanks to the participation of BarCampMembers and non members. -- FredericBaud
