Governance
Community governance refers to the processing for making all the decisions and plans that affect and govern life in the community. For community governance to be effective, it must be about more than simply process, it must also be about getting things done in the community. Why do we care about such trouble and strife? For many of us, we are excited not only by observing human behavior but also iterating on the ways of running communities, or indeed societies. If we don’t ourselves try different ways of operating, how can we know what to improve on, what works and what doesn’t? What type and size of group do different systems work best for?
