Meeting Milan and Katherine 10/2/09

A platform is about:

  • support
  • a stepping stone
  • cocreative hub
  • transformation
  • new ways
  • networking

First stage - working together - developing relationships and economic foundation Second stage - living together - moving to the land, sanctuary

A shared system to benefit the whole network - OD

Fist platform

  • A shared office space in Devonport for a small number of committed members (maybe five is a good number?need good balance of skills/energy?)
  • A shared administrator/office manager (to start maybe 1 x per week) empowering other members to focus on their strengths/passions
  • Members have possiblity to pay for the service/space and/or fill one of the roles
  • Evenings and weekends can be used as venue for events, presentations, get-togethers and other fun
  • Exchange of skills and peer-coaching between members
  • Possibility of guest accomodation eg pullout futon?
  • Culture of trust, exchange and honest communication including daily checkins
  • Facility to record hours where necessary (when money and operations involved)

Action

  • Milan and Aran to identify admin tasks to handover and possible workload for admin role
  • Milan and Aran to discuss logistics of providing OD technology and IT support to members (included in rental fee?)
  • Put together ad for office space and look for suitable possibilities
  • Talk to other potential members
  • How do financials work eg sole traders

Questions

  • Does anyone mind if we call it "Platform One" instead? Would be a bit more "round" me thinks. --Milan 17:21, 16 June 2008 (NZST)
