+ | === Bioluddite charter === | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the afternoon we distilled our notes and thoughts into the beginnings of a **[[Bioluddite charter]]** with the following sections, based on Chaordic principles (used for example [[http:// | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Purpose/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Principles – The behavioural aspirations of the community. (...) Must have a high degree of ethical and moral content, which does not prescribe behaviour but guides it. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Concept – A general view of the best possible institutional embodiment of purpose and principles. A general picture of the desired relationships. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Structure – The specific anatomy of the organisation. The contract of rights and obligations between all members of the community. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * People – The initial members of the community and the leadership essential to effective initiation and evolution of the purpose, principles and structure. | ||
