# Lionsberg, 2022.11.16

Where Are We?

• 5-7 years
• work site earth
• greater goals
• critical path
• work on legal financial
• smaller groups
  • Maybe all the work that actually needed to based on the sovereign autonomous action of of 3 to 20 people.
• maybe something like a mind would be required.
• kind of the first stage of a the brain: https://lionsberg.wiki/
• 4 x 6 week cycles evaluating Meta Project (in the abstract)
  • now instantiate in practice
  • 7 year time horizon - future backwards stated in days
  • connecting up groups now
  • using platform created to date
  • evaluate mechanisms as we go - measureable
• "from here it gets really measurable"

Reflection question: What is the story that you're you're telling yourself about where we are? How does that align or not with Jordan's story?

• the notion of games
• connecting and empowering distributed network of small groups could be called anything
• children's book, "myth"

Questions

• when measuring, what kind of measuring?
• how is this project related to me?
• How if people come in drama and are called to do good, how can we 'coregulate' at the outset so not in tension
• what is a "high functioning group of 3 to 20 people"

What story

Erik's questions

• How do we start this?

• How do we start getting making things really concrete?

  • A lot of concrete things have already happened.

• I don't know about working groups and stuff like that so I'm curious about the infrastructure that's already there.

• Pete K

  • appreciation of Jordan's current story
  • curious about 'high functioning group of 3-20 people'
    • what is high functioning, for example

• Jordan

  • Legal structure and governance structure to use now
  • Lionsberg Integrated Delivery Guide
  • Listening deeply
  • Looking for the generalised solutions
  • Load these onto the platform
  • Look for network effects

The Different Lionsbergs

• Lionsberg the Idea or Myth
  • I like the idea and I am part of a movement; hovering and in principle support it
• Lionsberg the Voluntary Association
  • I turn up and you, 'Lionsberg Volunteers' , accept my gift so I am a member
• Lionsberg the Core Enterprise
  • I come because I am a formal member and I promise and do things reliably for 'Lionsberg Core Enterprise' and the relationship also provides benefits in ways that are meaningful to me.
• Lionsberg the Legal Structure
  • I have a formal role with responsibilities as law for the activities of 'Lionsberg Legal'

Proposed Lionsbergs and/or Roles

• A Monitoring Group (along with the Core Enterprise)
  • And when we have a couple of prototypes, what will we see or hear to know we have evidence that what we are doing is working or is not working?
• A Copywriter (explainer in simple terms)

Questions Peter K How do they inter relate Which one are we talking about Dig into each deeply - this takes time - not zooming past this

Pete's order for today:

• Governance
  • sort of a myth, but there's a structure
  • 501(c)(3), sole board member is Jordan
• Structure
  • level 1: kind of an idea
  • level 2: a voluntary association of individuals
• Purpose
• Participants (individuals or groups/projects)
• Resources (financial or otherwise)
• What is membership?
  • Is it another form than membership
• What are roles and mandates belonging to those roles
