Changes at "Determine Verbiage and Definition of NOVASEN as an Organization"

Avatar: Tony Phillips Tony Phillips Web Administrator

Body (English)

  • NoVaSEN needs to determine how we will present ourselves as an organization on the Decidim, how we are defined using language that is accessible and easily recognized by people interested in our mission and goals. This must be done within the context of the Decidim platform as this is intended to be our primary means of sharing information and keeping in contact with our members and community.
  • Decidim defines the closes level of organization in modules as an Assembly, based on the idea of citizen assemblies that are part of municipal areas that serve those assemblies. Does NOVASEN wish to define itself as an Assembly or Citizen Assembly?
  • NOVASEN is also ostensibly a part of the Solidarity Economy Network, which unofficially should fall under the US SEN and/or VA SEN. So does it wish to refer to itself as a Network?
  • Are there other suggestions for how NOVASEN should define itself in the context of an organization serving it's community?
  • We also need to include as part of this discussion: what can we change at an administrative level in the Decidim? The back end code defines this organization as an Assembly in the context of the technology. But it would also define a city council, an NGO, a police department, a fire department, a medical board, or any number of organizations generically as an assembly without concern for the real world definitions used by those organization's charters if they were to be represented as an organization in Decidim. We should discuss and come up with some sort of definition for the organization we call NOVASEN in order to represent ourselves properly within the Decidim and to the rest of the world.
