Governance Structure Proposal
This is a presentation for a proposal to make modifications to the existing CiviCRM community governance structure. I gave this presentation to an open meeting of the community on 8/20/18.
This idea germinated from a partner meeting in June about what we wanted to see coming out of the summit.
Here is the link to the recording of the meeting:

I am scheduling two additional meetings to see more, make comments, ask questions, and lobby for changes. As I have said before, my hope is that, best case, we could go into the summit with some general agreement about this, and use the summit to work out the details of implementation. Worst case, my thought is that we could find the areas of major friction in advance, and know what we have to tackle at the summit. This doesn't preclude the individual agenda items or topics, but tries to create an improved structure for dealing with those items going forward.
Between the second and third meeting, I will commit to getting the proposal out in a distribute-able format outside of the XMind Zen tool I am using. I am leaving on vacation tomorrow for a week, but will try to check in here occasionally.
