The @community team is working on levels of engagement for members as a structure to inform
- How we improve the forum UX
- How we improve member onboarding
- How we relate the community and membership to the rules and co-op democracy
Levels
We are thinking of three levels. The attributes of each level are cumulative.
Entry Level: Member
A member will be doing the following
- Listening to music
- Making playlists
- Light forum interaction
- Supplying music - artists or label*
A member will have access to / visibility of:
- Knowledge base about the co-operative
- Clarity on how to the work thats currently going on and the governance issues currently being decided
Intermediate Level: Engaged Member
An engaged member will be doing the following
- Following a team on the forum
- Engaging with proposals made by teams
- High level of music engagement
Examples:
- Sam
- LLK
High Level: Worker Member
A worker member does the following
- An active member of a team
- Devises and/or works on team proposals
Examples:
- Cristina
- Timothee
Qualifying Contribution
Being a āworker memberā is a class of membership under the Resonate rules. The āqualifying contributionā for a worker member needs be determined by an independent party or process. On that we propose:
- Worker members do a self review each month
- Teams grant worker member designation on a quarterly basis, based on their experience working with the other folks in the team and the worker memberās self reviews
Executive Team
There is also an executive team constituted by the team leads. The team leads are compensated (i.e. theyāre staff). This is a different subject but itās an important element in this structure. The team leads are responsible for the engagement, and assessment of engagement for their team.
Next steps
- Settle on the levels and their definitions
- Reflect the levels in the forum UX and onboarding
- Reflect the levels in the team operations
