Movement Charter/Affiliates by Region/Thematic Affiliates

This is a page for Thematic Affiliates to discuss our selector for the Movement Charter.

What is this?

edit

The Movement Charter will be a foundational document for our movement, detailing how we organize our movement in the future. It's important to get a good group of people representing the wide diversity of our movement and with diverse skillsets to draft the document; 72 candidates have self-nominated to join the Movement Charter Drafting Committee.

Affiliates get to select 6 people on the drafting committee. The Affiliates have been split into 8 geographic regions and all of us non-regional groups have been put together as one "Thematic Affiliates" group. Each of these 9 groups will appoint 1 "selector" who will work with the other 8 selectors to select candidates for the Movement Charter Drafting Committee.

This page is to decide how we as Thematic Affiliates will select our selector. We must do this prior to October 10.
