Proposal
A) Protcols for how new people can join the Woodbine Spokescouncil Planning Working Group
Attend at least one spokescouncil meeting in-person and then attend a spokescouncil planning meeting in-person to see what is involved and see if it is a good fit for you
If you want to join, you are expected to fulfill basic labor requirements:
show up to most planning meetings and spokescouncil meetings (missing more than two in a row without a clear indicated reason means you may not have capacity right now. You can cycle out and maybe back in when you have more capacity)
volunteer to take on action items after meetings and put solid effort into completing them
If you become active in the group and later realize you cannot fulfill the above requirements, you agree to let the group know and leave the chat
Comments
Frankie --> Friendly amendment: can we require that folks come to a Spokes meeting first, in addition to these requirements?
Frankie --> Other than my friendly amendment, this makes sense to me.
Ash - I agree with Frankie's comments, I edited the proposal
ella - If you're active in the group and later realize you cannot fulfil the above requirements, you agree to let the group know and leave the chat
