Propósito Primário

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 Uma comunidade DEVE definir exatamente um propósito primário.
  • 2.1.2 O propósito primário DEVE descrever a razão duradoura da existência da comunidade e NÃO DEVE ser uma meta, projeto ou estratégia de curto prazo.
  • 2.1.5 Nenhuma ação, decisão ou alocação de recursos PODE contradizer materialmente o propósito primário declarado.
Por que um único propósito duradouro?
Como preencher isto

O que abordar

  • 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?

Exemplos

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 Secundários

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

Cláusulas RCOS 2.1.4
  • 2.1.4 Propósitos secundários PODEM ser definidos, mas NÃO DEVEM conflitar com nem sobrepor-se ao propósito primário.
Por que permitir propósitos secundários?
Como preencher isto

O que abordar

  • 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?

Exemplos

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.

Não-Objetivos e Exclusões

What are we deliberately not, however tempting it becomes?

Cláusulas RCOS 2.1.5
  • 2.1.5 Nenhuma ação, decisão ou alocação de recursos PODE contradizer materialmente o propósito primário declarado.
Por que declarar o que a comunidade não é?
Como preencher isto

O que abordar

  • 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?

Exemplos

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.

Exemplos, não recomendações. As respostas de vocês serão de vocês.

Condições para Mudança de Propósito

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

Cláusulas RCOS 2.1.3
  • 2.1.3 O propósito primário DEVE ser estável ao longo do tempo e só DEVE ser alterado por meio de uma decisão constitucional conforme definido na Camada 2 e executada pelo processo de mudança definido na Camada 6.
Por que tornar difícil mudar o propósito?
Como preencher isto

O que abordar

  • 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?

Exemplos

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.

Exemplos, não recomendações. As respostas de vocês serão de vocês.
