hi all,
I have put up yet another proposal for a constitution - nothing new,
actually, but an integration of articles 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (amended), 8 and 9
of FreeCultureConstitution3 and articles 3 and 4 of
FreeCultureConstitution1 (unfortunately I wrote this wrong in the notes to
the first revision committed to the wiki):
http://www.freeculture.org.uk/FreeCultureConstitution4
It should retain the liveliness of Constitution3, but with the *potential*
to have a well defined structure and membership if needed as outlined in
Constitution1.
After having had the very positive experience of seeing Deptford.TV run in
March, I am still convinced that local groups should be fairly
independent, and that organizations such as ORG are better at dealing with
some issues (PR and all) but if we use some structure to coordinate all
the activities and discussions instead of having a structure for
structure's sake, a semi-structured organization like the one proposed in
Constitution4 can hopefully help.
Of course things will get done at the local level only if there is a clear
vision, enough resources, and so on - but if individuals are members of
FC-UK, as opposed to local groups, I see little possibility of wrong
decisions/bad structure of FC-UK hindering local activities.
Just my 5p of course.
Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this Saturday's meeting (we have
parliament elections in Italy); if voting will occur and proxies are
accepted (I understand this is a chicken-and-egg problem, and therefore
will accept any decision), Adnan will be the person authorized to vote on
my behalf.
