Group Governance: Written v.s. Spoken Word
Group governance through written word involves constitutional documentation, procedures, and policies for proposing and changing important matters, with everything being documented and referred back to the written agreement when in doubt. On the other hand, governance through the spoken word focuses on present-moment orientation, coherence of feeling, being heard, acting in good faith, and working together as a whole, tested through dialogue. It suggests that most humans care about feeling part of a healthy, safe group where they are respected and their voice matters, rather than focusing on the details of written proposals or constitutions. The emphasis is on attending to feelings, relationships, and maintaining a healthy culture, while acknowledging the importance of occasionally documenting agreements.
