Comms Committee
These are our wordsmiths and infomaniacs, who compose and publish information to the wider community and prospective members of the new orgs of what's happening.

Constitution Working Group

The Consitution Working Group is charged with the task of facilitating the co-authoring of the new constitution/s.

To do this and where practicle, the team tries to host weekly Vision sessions to discuss the critical topics that form the basis of the document.

Once a Vision session has commenced a Loomio workshop dedicated to the same topic goes live.

The discussions, proposals and polls are conitnued in greater detail in writing.

The team administers the Loomio site and ensures that all reference documents are available and linked into threads.

The CWG has its own Google address and Drive.

Questions of a consitutional nature can be sent to bsvgcteam at gmail dot com.

In January 2020 the CWG (formerly called Burning Seed Vision Group Constitution Team) wrote an Interim Report that focused on interpreting the Ancient Future Report into a structure that would form a brief to counsel.

This report showed the variation in opinion among only 5 prospective members and helped to define the recommended pathway to reaching consensus among a bigger group of stakeholders.

The outcomes of the Red Earth Vision sessions with be published here at regular intervals.

We use a number of different tools.
