Sense that the PT wants to continue.
How to do this without making boxes ?  Yet the value of some principles and forms is also clear ?

Body Break

5. Brainstorm re. Serving on Process Team Document

    • Role of CB — a group with a meta view that can see how the PT fits into the larger Shambhala world, can view what is needed.
    • Decorum for participating rather than a rule for who can and can’t participate ; and a decorum for working with that input rather than being intimidated about it.
      • Validity of all views, but some are broader and therefore more helpful than others.
      • Skillful means of not getting triggered by other people’s stuff.
    • Perhaps request people to always be part of a WG (the architecture of the PT) and then the WGs take care of their own decorum and enforcement.
      What architecture would be functional?

      • Ask specific person what that would look like for them, what WG would they plug in to?
      • Present the challenge of their rhetorical approach.  What would be a way to help them speak in a more helpful way ?
    • Maybe the out-boundary is set on the WG level instead of the PT level ?
    • Note that people do voluntarily leave, maybe kicking people out is not the issue, but removing people who leave from email  and document access could be sharper.
    • Consider explicit renewing of the commitment to the PT, cuts through the privilege aspect of being part of the group, you actually say – yes – I am still active.
      • Suggest that people re-look at their activity and voluntarily renew.
    • For entering – maybe people begin by working in a Working Group, and then consider being on the PT.
      • Is there really a difference between being active on the PT and being in a WG?
      • It is OK to limit your commitment on the PT to a single task, but the idea of leaving these people off of the PT doesn’t make sense.
      • Provide a document on what it means to be on the PT.
    • Open-ness of PT sharing and communication, serving on the PT has a relationship with a Working Group, moving into + enter + leave, know that this is evolving.
      Sense of freshness, inspire decorum.
