Propósito Principal

Why does this community exist — in one sentence that will still be true in ten years?

Cláusulas RCOS 2.1.1, 2.1.2, 2.1.5
  • 2.1.1 Una comunidad DEBE definir exactamente un propósito primario.
  • 2.1.2 El propósito primario DEBE describir la razón perdurable de la existencia de la comunidad y NO DEBE ser un objetivo, proyecto o estrategia a corto plazo.
  • 2.1.5 Ninguna acción, decisión o asignación de recursos PUEDE contradecir materialmente el propósito primario declarado.
¿Por qué un único propósito perdurable?

Qué cubrir

  • If we could keep only one reason for existing, what would it be?
  • Would it still be true in ten years, after our current projects are finished or dropped?
  • Is it a lasting reason — not a project, a strategy or a goal we could one day tick off?
  • Is it clear enough that we could tell when a decision, or a way of spending our time or money, goes against it?

Ejemplos

We exist so that the people who live here can share land, homes and daily work in a way that leaves the soil, the water and our neighbours better off than we found them.

Propósitos Secundarios

What secondary purposes do we pursue — without competing with why we exist?

Cláusulas RCOS 2.1.4
  • 2.1.4 Se PUEDEN definir propósitos secundarios, pero NO DEBEN entrar en conflicto con el propósito primario ni anularlo.
¿Por qué permitir propósitos secundarios?
Cómo completar esta sección

Qué cubrir

  • Besides our primary purpose, what other concrete outcomes do we work towards — if any?
  • For each one: could it ever pull time, money or people away from our primary purpose — and if it could, is it really secondary?
  • Do we say plainly that when a secondary purpose clashes with our primary purpose, the primary purpose wins?

Ejemplos

Alongside our primary purpose we pursue three secondary purposes: keeping homes affordable for members on modest incomes, running an open tool library for the neighbourhood, and sharing what we learn about living cooperatively at two open days a year. None of these may override our primary purpose; if one conflicts with it, the primary purpose takes precedence and the secondary purpose is scaled back or dropped.

No-Objetivos y Exclusiones

What are we deliberately not, however tempting it becomes?

Cláusulas RCOS 2.1.5
  • 2.1.5 Ninguna acción, decisión o asignación de recursos PUEDE contradecir materialmente el propósito primario declarado.
¿Por qué declarar lo que la comunidad no es?
Cómo completar esta sección

Qué cubrir

  • What might outsiders or new members assume we are, that we are not — a political party, a business, a religious group, a charity?
  • Which tempting directions have come up before, or are likely to, that we want to rule out now?
  • For each one: is it worded clearly enough that anyone could point to an activity and say it crosses the line?

Ejemplos

We are not a political party, and we do not endorse candidates or campaigns as a community. We are not an investment vehicle: no one joins to earn a return, and shared assets are never managed to make a profit for members. We are not a religious or spiritual group, and no belief or practice is expected of anyone who takes part.

Ejemplos, no recomendaciones. Sus respuestas serán las suyas.

Condiciones para Cambiar el Propósito

What would it take to change why we exist — and who would have to agree?

Cláusulas RCOS 2.1.3
  • 2.1.3 El propósito primario DEBE ser estable a lo largo del tiempo y solo DEBE ser modificado mediante una decisión constitucional tal como se define en la Capa 2 y ejecutada a través del proceso de cambio definido en la Capa 6.
¿Por qué hacer difícil cambiar el propósito?
Cómo completar esta sección

Qué cubrir

  • Do we treat changing our primary purpose as one of our highest-level (constitutional) decisions, rather than an ordinary one?
  • How many people have to agree, and who counts — all members, full members only, or those who vote?
  • How long must we wait between the decision and the change taking effect?
  • Where is the change recorded, so that the old and the new wording both stay visible?
  • Do our secondary purposes need the same bar to change, or a lower one?

Ejemplos

Changing the primary purpose is a constitutional decision. The proposal must be shared 30 days before the vote, and it passes only with at least two thirds of the votes cast by full members, with at least half of all full members voting. The change takes effect after a further 30 days and is recorded, together with the previous wording, in our version history. Secondary purposes can be changed by an ordinary community decision.

Ejemplos, no recomendaciones. Sus respuestas serán las suyas.

Registro de Ratificación

Who adopted this charter, when, and how was it decided?
