Process Questions

At last week’s meeting, we ran out of time to talk about the questions from the process group. The questions are up for discussion on Crabgrass.

Q1. How we organise

“A fourth proposal was postponed until the next gathering. What are your region/local group’s thoughts on the proposal:”

To support wider dialogue, proposals for the national gathering are brought predominantly by regional groups or working groups, as opposed to individuals. Exceptions can be made from time to time.

“Any other proposals on how we organise our UK and regional process would be welcome.”

Q2. Our political statement

“A working group has produced two drafts of a political statement for the Camp. The aim of this is to bring together the fundamental political positions that unite us as well as outlining the areas of diversity within the network.”

“We are asking for feedback on these statements from regional groups, with proposed additions and amendments, in the hope that a final statement will be agreed at the April UK Gathering. We’ve put the text from the working group as an appendix to this document.”

Q3. Skill-sharing

Q4. Process group

Q5. UK gatherings

Q6 and Q7 were resolved last week.
