# One-pager exploratory draft
16 July 2020

>This is an exploratory draft for the meet.coop ‘one-pager’. It comprises three one-pagers - one from each of the circles - plus a brief header. It’s in bullet form rather than connected sentences, to highlight discussion points.

>It’s developed here in HackMD (markdown) for ease of writing and editing as a multi-part document.

>The purpose of this draft is . .
>- To enable a sharper focus on organisational **mission**, our unique **membership proposition** and our focus in bringing-on **early-adopter** members
>- To prompt attention to completeness (or gaps) in the three-way model of **circle work organisation**; and
>- To assemble an initial working draft of public-facing material for the Jekyll **website**.

>It should be hybridised with [About meet.coop](https://wiki.meet.coop/wiki/Online_Meeting_Coop_Wiki:About), which emphasises some things differently.

# The Online Meeting Coop
Meet.coop - The Online Meeting Coop - is . .
- a **coop-of-coops** under openvalue, contribution-based, multi-stakeholder governance, which . .
- provides access to **online meeting roomspace**, free from surveillance or monetisation of users’ metadata, and compliant with GDPR . .
- running on high quality, well supported **free software** (Big Blue Button).
- It has a particular orientation to **coops and movement organisations** . .
- as a contribution of infrastructure in an emerging **commons-cooperative economy**.

Meet.coop is a ground-breaking initiative in evolving a digital infrastructure under commons-cooperative governance. At its present early stage (summer 2020) meet.coop is organised in three work circles, which operationally look after the above commitments:
1. [Mission, work organisation and governance](https://hackmd.io/@meet/HyW96sTkw)
2. [Services and user relations](https://hackmd.io/@meet/S1Snk2pJP)
3. [Technology operations and development](https://hackmd.io/@meet/S1UC-3p1D)

The rationale and contribution of each circle is outlined in the above linked sections. They are presented in this order because this is how we cascade their significance:
- First, a **social and economic contribution** - via the commons-cooperative economy, and peer-to-peer civil-society organising - to issues of our generation that profoundly affect the prospects of our grandchildren’s grandchildren.
- Second, an **open and collaborative**, evolving, **working relationship** with the real-world users of a digital infrastructure.
- Last and not least, high quality, highly useable, secure, privacy-oriented **digital means**, configured to enable cultural and economic capability at the **distributed roots**.
