So great to see people responding positively to our sortition request!

Ugh, my favorite #CreditUnion in #Vermont has just proposed a bylaws amendment that would give the board the power to modify both the bylaws and the charter without ratification via member referendum. Which would remove a major #DeMutualization firewall.

Hopefully the campaign to reject the proposal can be more of a call-in than an antagonistic messy governance fight. But, regardless, I'd really rather not need to spend energy on this... 😞

Sociocracy is, in many ways, a governance/management system tied to the values and principles of cooperation and the management of the commons. Disclosure: I am a member of the Co-op Implementation Circle. http://geo.coop/story/manifesto-wholesome-cooperation

What are good questions to include in a survey of a #ConsumerCoop's members?
