Present: waffle, aqeel, kawaiipunk
Minutes from the last meeting were lost due to RiseUp pad expiring.
We should put them on the forum.
Decisions made on the forum: Proposal: Co-op Brum Decision Making Process
Was a structure in the old days: Organisational structure: open discussion - #7 by Sergio
four tier membership: Passed: adopt a four level organisation model - #7 by ben.
This doesn’t seem to be functional in practice.
financial independence of sub-groups - require a discussion on how this should work (eg. should punch up have financial independence? should they pay subs to co-op brum? etc)
Agenda for next meeting
Coming up with agenda points
governance structure - constitution, terms of reference, accountability process etc
infrastructure - central place to store minutes, documents, media etc
updates from sub-groups
Coop Brum structure
Working group to make a proposal on a resiliant structure in order to do anything larger or more public facing events.
We need stucture to allow for expansion.
Building the brand and making the sub projects seem a clear part of CB.
Consitution
Logo/branding
