Organization of the Rice Cookies

Ground rules

Decision-making

Every person makes decisions on the area where they take ownership of everyone with the same role. For example, all room searchers decide on the criteria to look for a room. Any issue affecting many areas will be voted by all members of the affected roles. This includes new areas like opening a new workshop in a foreign language affecting the moderators.

Each group with the same role, like the moderators, defines what tasks they are going to do, what decisions need to take and they document them on this website.

For voting, a Whatsapp group can be used. When a Yes/No question is posted, each person can vote “Yes”, “No”, or “Abstain”.

All group decisions outside of the list of responsibilities, in particular changing these ground rules, require a majority of Yes votes over No votes. Abstentions do not count. In case of a tie, the choice which preserved the status quo wins. FIXME Look for an example

Contributions

A single workshop costs 5 EUR, a full calendar month costs 20 EUR. The fee is waived for anyone with financial difficulties. FIXME Create a FAQ explaining the contribution possibilities and payment methods.

The contributions are used to pay for the rental of rooms for workshops, meetup fees, and costs of preparing the workshops like ink cartridges.

Rice Cookies in other cities

Because we cannot check if the group in the new cities has the same vision and values as Rice Cookies, the new group can't use Rice Cookies in its name. These improv groups outside of Munich must use their own Meetup and social media groups. Cross-promotion is welcome.
