Déclaration de périmètre

Ce qu’il faut couvrir

• What do we own, hold or look after together — money, land, buildings, equipment, software, websites, accounts, our name and logo?
• For each one: what exactly is it — which account, which plot, which domain — so no one can argue about what is meant?
• What do individuals hold on the community's behalf, such as an account or a domain in a member's name — and do we count it as ours?
• Is anything shared in practice that we have never named? (Which decisions and which work are collective are their own questions.)

Exemples

The collective governs: the shared treasury held in our two-of-three multi-signature wallet; the project website and its domain; the code repositories under the collective's organisation account; our chat server and social media accounts; and the collective's name, logo and published guides. Any account a member registers on the collective's behalf belongs to the collective.

Ce qu’il faut couvrir

• What kinds of questions do we decide together — for example how we decide, who can join, how shared money is spent, how shared spaces are used?
• For each one: where does it stop — what stays with an individual, a household or an outside party?
• Are any decisions taken by one person today out of habit that we want to name as the group's — or say plainly are not? (How each kind of decision is made is its own question.)

Exemples

We decide together on: our governance rules and how decisions are made; who may join, and on what terms; how the shared budget and reserves are spent; the use and upkeep of the shared house, garden and guest rooms; and any agreement made in the community's name with an outside party. Decisions about each household's own flat stay with that household.

Ce qu’il faut couvrir

• What ongoing work are we responsible for as a community — upkeep, welcoming new members, keeping accounts, looking after our name, hosting visitors?
• For each one: is it done regularly or only when needed, and what goes wrong if no one does it?
• Is anyone doing work today that nobody formally took on — and should it be collective, or should we say it is not? (Who does each piece of work is decided when roles are assigned.)

Exemples

As a community we are responsible for: maintaining the shared water supply, paths and solar system; running the vegetable garden and orchard; admitting and welcoming new members; keeping the accounts and reporting on them twice a year; and hosting visitors and volunteers. Work on private dwellings and personal gardens is not a collective responsibility.

Ce qu’il faut couvrir

• What might people assume the community has a say in, that it does not — members' money, relationships, jobs, beliefs, or other projects they belong to?
• Which outside organisations, services or neighbours do we work with but have no authority over?
• Do we say plainly that anything not named as in scope is out of scope, even if this list does not mention it?
• What happens to a decision that reaches into something on this list — does it simply have no effect?

Exemples

The following are out of scope: members' personal income, savings and private finances; their private relationships and how they arrange their own homes; their paid work and projects outside the community; and the hosting companies and software services we use, whose terms we accept but do not govern. Anything not declared in scope is out of scope, and a community decision that reaches into these areas has no effect.
