Building social structures

Right now I'm getting ready to present our governance proposal to the other people in our ecovillage development group. A few other folks -- Flo, Mischa and Amy -- have been working with me to put a good first proposal together, and now we're ready to go. Hopefully, by the end of our presentation, everyone will think that we've offered a good first step. If not, though, we'll at least be able to capture the concerns of the group and provide a version for the next meeting. I'm eager to move forward. People have been emailing us about possible collaboration -- one fellow in County Clare Ireland wrote to us about developing a village on his farm; a green developer with offices near Essex, England wants to be the one to manage the building process. All these opportunities, but no way to make decisions! If I weren't so patient (and busy with school and other projects) I'm sure I'd be tapping my foot.

Well, that's enough for now! More after the next meeting -- Sunday the 13th, so not long from now...
