This is a part of Topic panels series within the ambit of Call for feedback: Community board seats.

Topic

edit

In the Movement Strategy conversations, it has not been decided how the Interim Global Council, the Global Council, and the Regional and Thematic Hubs will work. Their relationship with the Board and the s/election processes for all these bodies are not known either. For a moment, let’s imagine: How could the different s/election processes of these bodies be organized? How would it be possible to reach out to potential candidates, getting apt volunteers for each body, without confusing or exhausting everyone?

Disclaimer

edit

This topic has been defined by the Facilitation team independently from the Board, based on the feedback received during the Call for feedback.
