RE: ecoVillage Journal #5 Q&A: Open Meeting Part 1
Wonderful to see the organisational infrastructure moving forwards so rapidly. Glad to see this is now explicitly based on anarchist decentralist principles.
I was particularly interested in this aspect:
There is total transparency to everyone on all aspects of ecoVillage, and decision making happens through a direct democracy using technology rather than endless meetings and debates.
It really does seem like one of the best uses for technology, especially as I know there's a tendency for communities to get mired in 'meetingitise', a nice elegant solution switching all of this to a transparent, virtual space.
I also really like the non-individualised ownership aspect.
Looks like a great starting point! I look forward to reading about others' ideas!
