Nuanu - designing the constitution for a huge community project in Bali

Sasha Dimitrevic & Tucker Walsh are part of the organising crew for Nuanu: a new intentional village in Bali which could eventually grow to 2000 people. They interviewed me seeking advice for their community constitution. Themes  - multi-level addressable nested identities - epistemic conflict between oral & literate culture - using tempo to find the sweet spot between chaos and order - enrolling community members into polarity management - subsidiarity - training community members in conflict resolution, communication skills, etc - dual org charts for working & relating - designing to prevent people falling thru the cracks: loneliness, invisibility, disengagement - synchronising across the digital vs physical divide - encouraging active citizenship - what to do with low engagement - power dynamics, accountability for people in leadership roles - leadership succession   References: - The Hum online course for getting into all these topics in more depth: https://www.thehum.org/guided-program - Dee Hock, Chaordic Organisations: https://thesystemsthinker.com/the-nature-and-creation-of-chaordic-organizations/ - Scaling Agile at Spotify: https://blog.crisp.se/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/SpotifyScaling.pdf - How we design retreats for Enspiral: https://medium.com/microsolidarity/congregation-how-to-ffe35c65d70 - Loomio (text-based group decision making) http://loomio.org - Ted Rau podcast: https://anchor.fm/roz-savage/episodes/Ted-Rau---Sociocracy-for-All-e1a718s and book: https://www.sociocracyforall.org/many-voices-one-song/ - Jakob Nielsen 90-9-1 ruel for participation inequality: https://www.nngroup.com/articles/participation-inequality/    Thanks Joe Lightfoot for the intro! www.joelightfoot.org
