We are delighted to invite you, dear Giraffes, from all over Europe (and the world) to gather together and share a community experience based on NVC. <br /> <br /> About the Festival :<br /> <br /> Lasting for 7 days, this event is an opportunity to experience the very essence of NVC. Together, we’ll create a big lively community (150-200 people), with the specific intention of hearing and meeting everybody’s needs peacefully and respectfully. <br /> <br /> In the spirit of Open Space, every participant, with however much,or little, experience of NVC, certified trainers to baby giraffes, can offer or attend workshops. All are welcome to join in the flow of giving and receiving, learning, teaching and practicing NVC. <br /> <br /> This festival is different from an NVC workshop in that each participant takes an active part in its creation and leadership. <br /> <br /> In the program:<br /> <br /> :- About 4 workshops a day - learning, experiencing and experimenting. <br /> <br /> :- About 1 hour per day for empathy in small on-going support groups.<br /> <br /> :- Around 2 hours per day of Community meeting – one hour each, morning and evening. <br /> <br /> :- Assorted sessions; yoga, meditation, singing, dance… whatever is offered! <br /> <br /> Adults, families and children of any and all nationalities are warmly welcomed to a feast of NVC and international connections!<br /> <br /> So that we can include as many people as possible, and facilitate a dynamic flow, '''the official language will be English.''' ([1] see comment) <br /> <br /> The Festival takes place at &quot;Espace des possibles&quot; www.entre-mer-et-foret.com <br /> It’s a centre well known in France, specialising in festivals in personal development. <br /> <br /> '''Adress: [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&amp;source=s_q&amp;hl=en&amp;geocode=&amp;q=8+Boulevard+de+Suzac,+17132+Meschers-sur-Gironde,+France&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;hq=&amp;hnear=8+Boulevard+de+Suzac,+17132+Meschers-sur-Gironde,+Charente-Maritime,+Poitou-Charentes,+France&amp;t=h&amp;z=15 Entre mer et foret, 8 Boulevard de Suzac, 17132 Meschers, France''']<br /> <br /> The site is about 300m from the Atlantic coast and surrounded by natural beauty. There is an area for camping, or you can rent small houses according to your budget and need for comfort. There are designated areas for children and play. <br /> <br /> The total number of places at this festival is limited to 200. So we recommend early registration to reserve your place. <br /> <br /> We’re looking forward to a transformative and enriching experience for everyone and the meeting of many needs! <br /> <br /> The 2010 Festival Organizing Team. <br /> <br /> <br /> [1] In the large community meetings, there will be a simultaneous whispering translation corner in '''French'''. In the workshops, anyone can make a request on the spot for translation. There will be translation only if there is someone present who would enjoy offering that. This means translation is not guaranteed.<br /> <br /> Of course, individuals can also offer a workshop in French or any other language! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[File:400px-Nvc_business_card_WEB.jpg|400px|center]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[fr:European Summer Festival]]</div>

Resources are developed to enable NVC teams to begin and sustain their projects. Teams will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.'''<br /> <br /> An NVC Project Team is composed of at least one CNVC certified trainer and one CNVC supporter with a common aim which is in harmony with the vision of CNVC. Each team develops its own mission and aim(s) inclusively inviting interested community members to participate within their circle. Teams operate with autonomy to fulfill their goals while working interdependently within the guidelines and policies of CNVC. Teams are connected to support mutual learning.<br /> <br /> Individual members of teams cultivate an ever-increasing ability to &quot;live the process&quot; of Nonviolent Communication. As multiple teams emerge within a given area, they work cooperatively together to build life-affirming systems of mutual support, focusing on the vision and mission of CNVC.<br /> <br /> =News=<br /> == '''New Google Group for CNVC Global Coordinating Council== '''<br /> We have created a Google group for the use of GCC members and friends.

Jori: Tension wanting acknowledgement of people taking their own responsibility to speak up.<br /> ***Support: translation; space of silence to speak <br /> ***Allow them to make mistakes, e.g., Miki: “It will be awkward but hang in there.” <br /> ***Greater sense of acceptance<br /> ***Example from a training: Allowed a trainer to speak in his own language while others took it even though they did know the language<br /> ***Bob: AA meetings and Co-counseling groups make this possible. Eg. Those maginalized speak first.<br /> ***''How do different cultures create such an environment?''<br /> *Jim: How do you bring people to the open door?<br /> **Dilip: Making it relevant to their context<br /> **Jim: Welcoming: e.g., Potluck to welcome new neighbours<br /> ***''What do other cultures do to welcome relatives, friends, neighbours, strangers?''<br /> **Anjali: Ask for testimonials and personal stories from trainers and practitioners all over the world; make them available to all sharing NVC as well as on the CNVC website. <br /> ***''What kinds of testimonials are relevant and inspiring for different cultures?''<br /> **Dilip: Songs, stories, street theater have been the traditional methods of spreading a message in India<br /> **Anjali: Stories, laughter, fun, play, joy, celebration – all make “it” easier. She is working on the for early childhood<br /> ***''Somehow the line between drawing people to NVC vs. GCC was blurred. Both are important; however, I assume we are focusing on bringing them to GCC open door.'' <br /> ***''Sometimes the open door may need to go to people rather expect people to come to it. For example, informal schools in India are often held where the children are. I can imagine GCC periodically rotating its meeting venues.''<br /> *Jori: Practice NVC and create deeper connections with people<br /> **Bob: “Listening Table at the Farmers’ Market” in Berkeley. <br /> **Ask: “Are you fighting with someone? I am here to listen.”<br /> **People have started their own practice groups after being listened to. <br /> **''Do other communities have such forums? What are they?''<br /> **Jori: Weekly dialogues, which are at present open to trainers. She will consider opening them to the community. Overwhelming!<br /> ***''How do other communities and cultures hold such dialogues?''<br /> *Transform these strategies into questions to inquire how other cultures and communities do it. <br /> **Inquire vial email, e-groups, … <br /> **Pose them to your neighbours, friends, …<br /> **''Pose them to people working at the grassroots level as Alison, Fabiola, and Jenny have suggested. Request them to suggest their own strategies.<br /> *Dilip: Doubts about walking through the open door:<br /> **Do I belong there?''<br /> **Will I understand them? Will they understand me?<br /> **''Only English is spoken there and I do not know English<br /> **I am not sure whether I understand enough to contribute<br /> **Will they listen? If they listen, will they act on it?''<br /> *Anjali: Book written by her mother: “Cultures of the World” for school children<br /> *Mercedes: How do we ensure that the results of the teleconference would be acted upon?<br /> *Dilip: How do we connect in between teleconferences? <br /> **Jim will create a e-group on Google. Send email to NVCTrainer@gmail.com<br /> **''Would like to be better prepared.'' <br /> **''The work begins now; we have only taken a first step. How do we work on this issue in between teleconferences?''<br /> **''t is not possible for everyone in India to participate in these conferences regularly. Costs can be a barrier. We need to make alternate arrangements to confer and get contributions from people.'' <br /> *''Assumptions we make about life and cultures are sometimes deep rooted and subconscious. Example: “In India, people will use Hindi or English.” Sometimes it requires being immersed in the culture.'' <br /> *''GCC and Translation: Imagine that a certified trainer, with the ability to connect with many many people in her country, walked through that open door of GCC. Suppose that she did not know English or any of the other European languages. How would GCC welcome and support her? For example, would GCC be willing to have online translations to have her included or would it still carry on in English?'' <br /> **''I can imagine non-European-language speakers being members and facilitators of GCC. <br /> **''If GCC wants a project in every country, can it afford to connect to project leaders/members only through intermediaries? Risks are enormous as demonstrated by many NGOs in India.'' <br /> **''The language issue has been described very well by Alison, Fabiola, and Jenny.''<br /> <br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 4 April 2007==<br /> Start 1500 GMT, 5pm Paris, 8am US PT, 9:30pm Pune, 5am NZ<br /> <br /> '''ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS'''<br /> *Members: Jim, Jori, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Andy Basu <br /> **note: Dominic Barter, proposed member, was with us for a short time.

She sees the power pf language as a CONTACT POINT. She asked for reactions from members:<br /> ***Andy: the joy of sharing in English mixed witht he sadness of being unable to express fully in my mother tongue.<br /> ***Eva: for many it is easier to speak from the heart in English, free from the habits of native language.<br /> ***Anne: wondering how we can make that happen-language is not the only problem. Let's try and see what happens<br /> ***Jori invites email connection from all to explore further. nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> **'''Proposal from the Nordic Baltic Circle''' (Kirsten)<br /> Just had second meeting of NB Circle-lots of connection and enthusiasm! Would like the Eastern Europeans to decide for themselves how to link to the GCC; also wanted to express unity of all Europe and invite to join through the English-speaking &quot;western&quot; link to the GCC.<br /> ***Reactions:<br /> ****Eva: very touched with what she hears. Will ask Eastern European network for feedback. Would personally prefer to connect through English-speaking &quot;other&quot; to GCC. No clear on what it means on a practical level. Working on a different image of the structure. Many Eastern countries need financial support.<br /> ****Jori: touched; likes linking Eastern and Western Europe. Unclear about practical; need for economic balance.<br /> ****Anne: celebration that people are gathering and building community; puzzled; not sure about best strategy for connection<br /> ****Laura: really like the care and appreciate the invitation. all positive reactions.<br /> ***Jim agreed to post the invitation in the minutes: &quot;The Nordic Baltic circle would like to have the Eastern Europe Circle be double linked to the English<br /> Western Circle, because we see us all as Europe, and many of the<br /> countries are members of the EU, and both circles speak English.&quot;<br /> **'''Structure proposal''' (Eva)<br /> ***I would like to send out an invitation: each local circle are<br /> welcome to choose a representative to the GCC. These people would be<br /> voting members of GCC. If the number goes above 10 we would<br /> reorganize ourselves. I believe 10 is the maximum number for an<br /> effective phone conference.<br /> ***Jori's reactions: worried about personal agendas; need for global vision; wants equal access to GCC but not necessaily voting members. <br /> PROPOSAL: Table agenda item and sit with it- Send any suggestions for reformulation to Eva eva@rambala.hu CONSENT<br /> <br /> <br /> CLOSING ROUND <br /> *Cathy: grateful to connect back in with the community glad to be a part. look forward to more.<br /> *Alison: warmed; very happy with sense of more possibilities for inclusion with GCC and contributing.<br /> *Fabiola: (via Jenny) feeling disappointed about the balance towad Administrative issues; annoyed, wanting respect<br /> *Jenny: Heavy heart; despairing; wanting ways of working and communicating with rest of world; not confident in present strategy. this is a big crisis for me. would like more opportunity for a say and a vote, to find ways to hear, understand, and address fully.<br /> *Isabelle: concerned about structure; would like more preparation on agenda items. would like to offer reports to be read before meeting and then have oppoprtunity for clarification. I miss the upward links. mixed feelings.<br /> *Markus: torn; very grateful to hear the voices and how you facilitate; would have liked more time to discuss Eva's proposals. Triggered about &quot;personal agenda, global perspective&quot; comment. Sad about that.<br /> *Laura: energized; mixed feelngs hearing some of the fedback. One of the the most alive conference calls; i liked going with the life!<br /> *Kirsten: Felt very good when closing round began; now I feel concerrn. Really enjoyed what we have been doing. Would like focus on a double link between circles. I don't know what to say about not being involved. I'm not experiencing a lack of connection.

I'm feeling a mixture of gratitude, inspiration, frustration and regret. The regret is around a typo in the Participant Access number in the email invitation that was sent. The number on the wiki was correct. I remain puzzled as to how this happened since I thought I copied from one to the other.<br /> <br /> *Present on the call today were:<br /> **Linda Rysenbry, SEA&amp;O temporary representative, Sydney, Australia<br /> **Ann Bouritt, French Circle, Geneva, Switzerland<br /> **Jeff Brown, ENACC representative, St. Louis, USA<br /> **Jan, Observer, Idaho, USA<br /> **Jerry Koch-Gonzales, Observer, Massachusetts, USA<br /> **Laura Liliom, Eastern European Circle, Budapest, Hungary<br /> **Chris Rajendram, Sri Lanka<br /> **Kirsten Kristensen, Nordic/Baltic Circle, Denmark, from the Canary Islands<br /> **Jim Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> **Jori Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> <br /> *Regrets: <br /> **Dominic Barter, Brazil, communicated via email, appended to bottom of report<br /> **Ron Ngata, New Zealand, couldn't connect because of typo :(<br /> **Eva Rambala<br /> **Kumarjeev<br /> **Aniruddha<br /> <br /> *Following check-in, we handled the following consent items:<br /> **a. Jori as meeting facilitator today; consent<br /> **b. Jim as notetaker today; consent<br /> **c. Jim and Jori as functional leaders of GCC for one year; consent<br /> **d. Aim of GCC; consent, with addition of &quot;groups will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.&quot;<br /> **e. Nonviolent governance utilizing consent, feedback, linking. consent<br /> **f. Participants on the call today are the initial planning team for today. consent, after clarifying discussion of balance and equality and term of this meeting.<br /> <br /> **Additionally there was consent that the observers could act as full participants for today's meeting.<br /> <br /> {Note on sociocratic consent-generally in sociocracy, if a person does not attend a meeting, their consent is implied. Inclusion is protected because any item consented at one meeting can be brought back up for consideration at a future meeting by anyone withdrawing consent to that item. Thus, Dom's lack of consent, via email, to some agenda items can be re-visited at the next meeting. -Jim}<br /> <br /> *Following the consent round, we began exploring the issues around the systems and structures that could best support the aim of the GCC. Jori shared some ideas that she and Jim generated than asked for responses: <br /> <br /> **What is the GCC? The GCC is a circle that links to the Leadeship Team and the Network; it is a policy building circle focusing on network connections; the policies being tested at both the LT and the network level.<br /> <br /> **We suggest starting with a planning team, initially seeking those in the network who have built successful projects; that are willing to work together to create templates in support of new projects being formed as a vehicle for mutual learning.<br /> <br /> *Main issues identified by the group to consider:<br /> **How to bring the GCC to concrete form<br /> **Wondering about languages, navigating the differences<br /> **Different ways of passing information through the network<br /> **The size of the GCC &quot;body&quot; <br /> **How many levels/layers could be required<br /> **How to determine the makeup of the GCC to best serve the needs of the network<br /> **Managing the number of people involved in a given meeting/call<br /> **How to deal with time zone differences spanning the globe<br /> **Clarifying the relationship of the LT and the GCC<br /> **How to balance including &quot;successful team leaders&quot; with representation from &quot;new countries that have not yet had a successful project&quot;.<br /> **Acknowledging the need for both appointed and elected members of the GCC<br /> **Acknowledgment of financial cost of involvement, wondering about support for those with less resources.<br /> **The need for the system to acknowledge both language differences and geographic differences<br /> <br /> *At this point Jori shared some ideas she and Jim had been discussing for beginning with a system that consisted of four language groups. <br /> **These languages are spoken in virtually every country of the world either as a primary or secondary language. The example is India, where there are many languages, united by a common language of English. In Vietnam, many speak both Vietnamese and French.<br /> **Each of the four languages would have an appointed leader on the GCC and also an elected representative; thus the GCC would be composed of at least 10 people, including Jori and Jim.<br /> **(French, German, English, Spanish/Portuguese/Italian [Romance languages other than French])<br /> <br /> *Reactions:<br /> **Excitement about focusing on 4 language groups that cover virtually every country as a starting place <br /> **Need to Consider translation and interpretation strategies<br /> **Utilize written word for clarity, ease of interpretation, and spanning time zones, eg Dom's ideas around &quot;soc-e-ocracy&quot;.<br /> **Suggest keep circle size of 12 or less<br /> **Some worry about difficulty between understanding in Sp/Portuguese circle<br /> **Some worry that language differences can stimulate conflict...<br /> **Some concern that language is subsidiary to geography...how to deal with people who share geography but not language, eg Quebec<br /> **Some concern for maintaining geographic representation for policy roles and appreciation for the simplicity of language groups<br /> **Concern for maintaining global awareness<br /> **Geography &quot;primary&quot; over language for global overview and local connection?<br /> **Wants A GCC small enough to function yet insures inclusion through connection to the larger network<br /> <br /> <br /> Closing Round:<br /> <br /> Linda: Glad to be a part of the call; values being aware and connected to some of the issues; enjoyed picture-making; looking for clarity re planning team and gcc; seeing important to begin with knowledge things will be refined/changed.<br /> <br /> Ann: In touch with the complexity of the matter, enriched by reactions of others; our experience in the French speaking circle is that the more organized we get, the more we see people from other areas wanting to connect and get in touch; its important to focus on starting, not focus as much on the how of starting; grateful for presence of everyone and for Jori's facilitation.<br /> <br /> Jeff: Energized, excited, glad that Kirsten and Chris could join the call; excited about the potential to get people connected; the most excitement about organizing by language; could facilitate cross-cultural connection if we were to organize it that way; happy we're having the conversation and moving forward; deep trust in the NVC process and that whatever we come up with will serve the network.<br /> <br /> Jan: Admiring and celebrating willingness to hold and consider issues; more aware now of the complexity; grateful; hopeful; beginning is important-to try something and have a &quot;reconsideration point&quot; chosen to check in if &quot;it&quot; is working.<br /> <br /> Jerry: Pleased with care and consideration and some sense of motion; enjoyed inclusion of observers; concerned about inclusion of observers for efficiency of future meetings; not clear yet on who holds decision-making responsibility.<br /> <br /> Laura: (No check-out, lost connection?)Oh, I got kicked off at the end closing round.<br /> But I would like to then give final feedback by email:<br /> <br /> I enjoyed being part of our call very much, I am at this moment suppressed by the weight of the complexity of this task that is ahead of us now, and also would like to thank Jori for this – to me – wonderful facilitation. I feel a deep appreciation to her facilitation talent and skills. I am really impressed.<br /> <br /> I felt the conference call was efficient, although we did not cover the whole agenda.<br /> I celebrate that I was able to be part of this call now and was able to help one person to join the call and also that I had this time to connect with NVC people from all around the world.<br /> <br /> Kirsten: (No check-out, lost connection?)<br /> <br /> Chris: Enjoyed joining even if late; I understand now what was blocking me from the conversation-we are killing each other (in Sri Lanka) because of the language. I'd like another way of uniting us and getting a central circle functioning; more clarity; grateful for inclusion; glad to have heard voices.<br /> <br /> Jori: Like the increased creativity and grateful for all the feedback<br /> <br /> Jim: Excited about the connection; regret about the typo that may have prevented Ron, Eva, Aniruddha, and Kumarjeev from participating and delayed Chris' connection; grateful to have the support of the folks who participated today; moving closer to clarity about structure and systemic issues; hungry for feedback about other picture forming agenda item; suggest we try using email and the wiki to explore it.<br /> <br /> Meeting was closed after 2 hours.<br /> <br /> ==Request from the notetaker:==<br /> I'd like to invite folks to edit their closing round comments for clarity and brevity. I'd also enjoy you clarifying any issues in the picture-forming if they do not reflect your thoughts, feelings, or needs, or if fresh insights arise. My preference is that you use the wiki; if you are not yet comfortable with the wiki, you can email me your edits and I will edit for you.<br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted with joy and gratitude,<br /> <br /> Jim Manske<br /> nvctrainer@gmail.com<br /> <br /> (PS Additions receeived via email from Dominic Barter are below)<br /> <br /> Dear all,<br /> <br /> I am disappointed to miss this meeting, as I already had teaching activities planned for this time. <br /> <br /> I am eager to connect with you all and test the decision making abilities of this group configured in this way. I continue to experience much energy for co-creating CNVC, after almost 4 years of participation in committees and meetings of this sort, tempered by many, growing doubts about the directions taken during this time.<br /> <br /> One of them is the lack of any current mechanism for participating except by being present at this call, something I imagine many - of not all - of us will experience at some point. So, with this e-mail, I hope to create such a mechanism:<br /> <br /> Please see - and voice/include/consider and respond - to the comments I make after each item.<br /> <br /> Please also add to the agenda discussion on the development of a time-scale for selecting meeting agendas (how many days before a meeting they are proposed, how each participant may contribute to them (wiki, etc.)).<br /> <br /> Or - why not? - let me know if this would not be fun.<br /> <br /> <br /> On 27 Nov 2006, at 16:44, Jim Manske wrote:<br /> <br /> Time: 1300 UT/GMT, 8 am US EST, 2pm Central Europe Time (CET), 6:30pm India Time<br /> <br /> Please canvass the time zones we are all mostly in most of the time and include all at th top of each agenda.<br /> <br /> Please propose a way for making participation relatively equally economically viable for all participants (can CNVC provide the Skype credits for those living in high cost phone countries to dial in this way?

Would you like to contribute to this connectivity?<br /> <br /> As sociocratically selected leaders of the new GCC for the coordination of NVC communities worldwide, I am delighted that Jim and I will working together to support the connectivity that could fuel global social transformation through the growth of NVC consciousness. We are committed to the fulfillment of the vision of having NVC teams in every country in the world. We will be working to help build teams in areas that do not have them, and learning from and supporting connection with existing NVC groups. This is one of the major areas of functionality identified for CNVC at the recent Board meeting.<br /> <br /> We will be meeting later this month with the representatives previously nominated by existing circles to explore the structures and strategies that will provide representation and mutual connection that will support us all in fulfilling our shared vision of the growth of compassionate giving, joy, and nonviolence in the world.<br /> <br /> We welcome your feedback about what support you would like in building your community, or in healing any lack of connection currently for you in connecting with CNVC or others practicing NVC in your community.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight,<br /> <br /> Jori and Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===EINLADUNG===<br /> <br /> Liebe Gemeinschaft in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation,<br /> <br /> Wir laden euch alle ein, darüber nachzudenken, in welcher Art ihr verbunden sein wollt mit Menschen, die die Gewaltfreie Kommunikation leben, sowohl in eurer Region und auch in einem weiter gefassten Rahmen der NVC-Gemeinschaft.<br /> Möchtet ihr zu dieser Verbundenheit beitragen?<br /> <br /> Als soziokratisch gewählte Leiter des neu eingerichteten GCC (Weltweiter Koordinierungsrat), der die Arbeit der NVC-Gemeinschaften weltweit koordinieren soll, bin ich froh darüber, dass Jim und ich zusammenarbeiten werden, um die Verbundenheit zu unterstützen, die zu einem Wachsen des Bewusstseins für gewaltfreie Kommunikation beiträgt und dadurch die globale soziale Transformation vorantreibt.<br /> <br /> Wir haben den Willen, an der Erfüllung unserer Vision zu arbeiten, Teams in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation in jedem Land der Welt zu haben. Wir werden unterstützend beim Aufbau von Teams mitwirken in Gegenden, wo noch keine existieren. Dabei werden wir die Verbindung zu den Teams unterstützen, die es bereits gibt und von ihnen lernen. Dies ist eine der Hauptaufgaben für das CNVC, wie wir auf dem letzten Board Meeting herausgefunden haben.<br /> <br /> In Laufe dieses Monats werden wir uns mit den kürzlich von den bereits arbeitenden Kreisen aufgestellten Repräsentanten treffen, um Strukturen und Strategien zu untersuchen, die eine Repräsentation und gegenseitige Verbindung leisten können. <br /> Von dieser Repräsentation und gegenseitigen Verbindung erhoffen wir uns eine breite Unterstützung, um diese uns gemeinsame Vision von wachsendem Mitgefühl, Geben und Nehmen von Herzen, Freude und Gewaltfreiheit in der Welt, mehr und mehr ins Leben holen zu können.<br /> <br /> Wir freuen uns über Rückmeldungen, welche Art von Unterstützung ihr braucht, um eure Gemeinschaft aufzubauen oder eine momentan fehlende Verbindung zu heilen, und um euch mit dem CNVC und anderen &quot;gewaltfrei&quot; Aktiven in eurer Gemeinschaft zu verbinden.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight, (Etwa: Mit Wärme und Freude)<br /> <br /> Jori und Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===L'INVITATION===<br /> <br /> Cher(chère) membre de la Communauté CNV,<br /> <br /> Ce message est une invitation à réfléchir à la manière dont vous souhaiteriez être reliés aux autres personnes pratiquant la CNV dans votre région ou, plus largement, dans le monde. Voulez-vous contribuer à la mise en place de liens entre nous?<br /> <br /> Jim et moi avons été élus sociocratiquement directeurs du nouveau Cercle Général de Coordination chargé de coordonner les communautés CNV de par le monde. Je me réjouis de nous voir travailler ensemble au service d'une telle mise en lien qui, grâce à la conscience CNV, contribuera au changement social dans le monde. Nous nous sommes engagés à réaliser la vision consistant à mettre en place des équipes CNV dans tous les pays du monde. Nous aiderons à la création d'équipes dans les régions où elles sont inexistantes. Nous nous inspirerons et encouragerons les liens déjà établis entre les groupes CNV existants. Il s'agit d'une des missions principales confiées au Centre pour la CNV lors de la dernière réunion du Board.<br /> <br /> Dans le courant de ce mois, nous rencontrerons les représentants préalablement désignés par les cercles existants afin d'explorer les structures et les stratégies propres à assurer la représentation et le niveau d'échange qui nous aideront tous à réaliser notre vision commune: voir la bienveillance, la joie et la non-violence grandir dans le monde.<br /> <br /> Nous serions ravis de savoir comment nous pouvons vous aider à créer votre communauté ou à remédier à un éventuel manque d'échange avec le Centre pour la CNV ou avec d'autres personnes pratiquant la CNV autour de vous. <br /> <br /> Très chaleureusement, au plaisir de vous lire,<br /> <br /> Jori et Jim<br /> <br /> nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===INVITACION===<br /> <br /> Estimada Comunidad,<br /> <br /> Los invitamos a que consideren la forma en que quisieran estar ligados a las otras personas practicantes de la Comunicación No Violenta en su área local y en la comunidad más amplia de CNV. Les gustaría contribuir con esta conectividad?<br /> <br /> Como líderes sociocraticamente elegidos de la nueva GCC para la coordinación de las comunidades CNV en todo el mundo, estoy complacido de que Jim y yo estemos trabajando para apoyar la conectividad que podría fortalecer la transformación social a través del crecimiento de conciencia de la CNV.<br /> <br /> Estamos comprometidos con alcanzar nuestra visión de tener equipos de CNV en cada país del mundo. Estaremos trabajando para ayudar a crear nuevos equipos de trabajo en áreas donde éstos no existen y, por otro lado, aprender y apoyar la conexión con los grupos existentes. Esta es una de las áreas de mayor funcionalidad identificadas por el CCNV en su más reciente reunión de junta directiva. <br /> <br /> Nos estaremos reuniendo a fin de mes con los representantes nominados anteriormente por los círculos existentes con el fin de explorar las estructuras y las estrategias que proveerán la conexión y representación mutua que nos ayudarían a alcanzar una mayor visión de expansión de la alegría, el dar compasivamente y la no violencia en el mundo.<br /> <br /> Aceptamos cualquier sugerencia o recomendación de la forma en que le gustaría recibir nuestro apoyo para la creación, el fortalecimiento de su comunidad o bien cualquier impedimento de comunicación con el CCNV. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Con cariño y felicidad, <br /> <br /> Jori y Jim Manske nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ==FUNCTIONS OF THE GCC==<br /> The GCC functions include contributing to support and connection throughout the CNVC network, sustaining existing circles and helping to cultivate new circles. We have a goal of having an NVC team in every<br /> country of the world by 2017. Our aspiration is that the GCC and these teams will live the process of NVC as fully as possible.<br /> <br /> The GCC, like all the circles, is both an autonomous and interdependent entity empowered with determining and implementing strategies to fulfill its functionality within mutually determined guidelines. It will be linked to the decision-making in the Leadership Team through membership of its functional leaders and representatives.<br /> <br /> As part of a sociocratic system, communication and power will be both &quot;top down&quot; and &quot;bottom up&quot;. The GCC is one of a few &quot;top level&quot; circles of the LT and the functional leader(s) of the GCC are thus members of the LT which is responsible for the overall functioning of the organizations day-to-day business. Eventually, there will be an elected representative from the GCC as well that will sit on the LT, fulfilling the aspiration of double-linking.<br /> <br /> We hope to have a GCC representative on the LT by the end of 2007. This will require clarity about the structure of the GCC which we are currently working on.<br /> <br /> The leaders of the GCC are Jim and Jori Manske, elected sociocratically by the LT in October, 2006. To communicate via email with Jim and Jori, send mail to nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com; Jim's Skype name is jimjori; Jori's Skype name is jorijim.<br /> <br /> =GCC CONTACT WITH CIRCLES=<br /> =='''South and East Asia/Oceania Circle'''==<br /> ===Minutes of meeting with SEA&amp;O, 3 November 2006===<br /> Hi everyone<br /> <br /> These notes have been posted on our yahoo group as well. If anyone present at the meeting is unhappy with how I have recorded an aspect of the meeting please do let me know. I I have omitted anyone in the apologies please also let me know.<br /> <br /> with care,<br /> Linda<br /> <br /> Minutes for extra-ordinary meeting of SEA&amp;O November 3, 2006<br /> <br /> Present: Linda Rysenbry, Liz Gay, Cate Crombie (initially), Cherie Scott Jim &amp; Jori Manske<br /> <br /> Apologies: Shari Macree, Dorset Campbell Ross, Chris Rajendram, Ron Ngata<br /> <br /> Checking-in:<br /> Linda – Grateful for Liz’s impulse for this meeting and grateful for Jori and Jim’s enthusiasm to get together.<br /> Liz – Hopeful of getting clarity and understanding and looking forward to the call<br /> Cherie – grateful to have managed to get on to the call by phone and happy to be here<br /> Jim – Enjoys community and remembering recently assisting another group in establishing connection and a circle and looking forward to contributing to SEA&amp;O and others. Contributing to community is the ‘juice’ he enjoys.<br /> Jori – met Jim in community and is looking forward to an increase in connection in the Network. Sees the power of creation is in connections we make. Celebrating the restructuring designed in Atlanta is based on functionality rather than geography and therefore more in alignment with sociocracy.<br /> <br /> Exchange around the intention of the meeting during which Jori – expressed intention for the meeting to be about connecting and then seeing how we decide to remain connected ongoingly and Liz – expressed desire for answers to questions she had about the output of the Atlanta meeting.<br /> <br /> Through questions and discussion we:<br /> <br /> · looked at the minutes from Atlanta – in particular the new structure – http://en.nvcwiki.com/images/Minutes_Addendum_v3.pdf<br /> <br /> Jori clarified that the structure is intended and agreements have been made, that support freedom to act by individuals who fulfil leadership roles eg. The Network managers Jim &amp; Jori and Marshall &amp; Valentina in their leadership roles, in circumstances that are extraordinary have the prior agreement of the team/GCC to take action as they see fit.<br /> <br /> Liz sought clarifications and received empathy<br /> <br /> Cherie – expressed that it matters very much to her HOW things are actioned. And not knowing details felt concerned about HOW actions had been taken regarding Liz gay’s membership Of the GCC.<br /> <br /> Jim and Jori shared personal mourning in connection to the above.<br /> <br /> Linda – acknowledged Jori’s personal mourning and expressed desire to hear a collective expression from the GCC (if it was true for them) of mourning. Feeling concerned about there being a ‘group’ that made the decision and now not having a sense of connection to the ‘group’. Empathy around fears connected to groups acting in a way which individuals later have misgivings about. Accepting that all were doing their best at the time; needing safety and to know that something has been harvested that might support us not repeating this.<br /> <br /> Jori – expressed her personal harvest relating to having not taken action when she heard one more word than she would enjoy to hear. Enquired as to whether Linda would enjoy to contact all the GCC members and hear their harvest.<br /> <br /> Checking out<br /> <br /> Cherie – Glad to have taken the time to be present on the call and appreciating the connection having been heard.<br /> <br /> Jim – Pleased with what was accomplished and sensing that we are part way toward where we want to be. Looking forward to the next part. Proposed another meeting be scheduled – all agreed.<br /> <br /> Linda – Feeling light and very happy to have connected to need for harvesting and learning. Appreciating Jim and Jori having taken on the role of Network managers and looking forward to how we grow from here.<br /> <br /> Liz and Jori remained on the line.<br /> <br /> Next meeting date and time to be forwarded when established.</div>

<p>Pierre-Marie: </p> <hr /> <div>'''GCC Discussion area'''<br /> <br /> Greetings, Friends,<br /> <br /> We feel hopeful that this discussion area will contribute to mutual information and clarity. Feel free to ask questions here and make comments as we continue the planning process for the Global Coordinating Council.<br /> <br /> Warmly,<br /> Jim and Jori<br /> <br /> '''New place to find CNVC GCC teleconference report ?'''<br /> <br /> Hi everyone,<br /> <br /> I am quite surprised that the new report got to a google place instead of nvcwiki.<br /> Is there a chance that someone, Jori Jim ..., will copy the report in wiki also everytime or is it definitly not going to be anymore ?--[[User:Pierre-Marie|Pierre-Marie]] 19:58, 10 July 2007 (CEST)<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Letter from Alison, April 3, 2007'''<br /> <br /> Dear Jim,<br /> I understood from the last GCC telelconference that you circulate inputs for the calls to the members of the GCC and the people who have participated in the GCC teleconferences - I hope I understood this correctly.<br /> Please would you circulate this, as input for tomorrow's call? Thank you so much.<br /> Kind regards,<br /> Alison<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Dear Jori, Jim, Eva, Isabelle, Pierre, Louise, Shantigarba, Kirsten, Chris, Meta, Linda, Ann, Jeff, Jan, Jerry, Laura, Dominic, Ron, Kumarjeev, Aniruddha, Torv,<br /> <br /> Concerns about language-based representative structure<br /> <br /> Following the telelconference on 7th March 2007, we agreed to &quot;all sit with our needs around this and come with proposals to the next meeting.&quot;<br /> <br /> When I remembered the requests during the call for a clearer understanding of what specific action was being proposed by Fabiola, Jenny and me in our letter, I felt frustrated about how to make it clearer. I decided to try out the early steps of the process described in the letter, as a pilot to see what I might learn (i) about what a person is already doing and what issues he/she is encountering in using and spreading NVC, and (ii) about this process of &quot;first connect&quot;.<br /> <br /> I went on the CNVC website &quot;find a trainer&quot; page, and picked the name of a supporter in Asia, someone I had never met. I telephoned him, explaining how I had found his name, and introducing myself as an NVC supporter in the UK. He was thrilled to talk, and we had a conversation which I found inspiring, and which gave me joy and hope.<br /> <br /> What has come out of this<br /> <br /> I would like to feed back to you what I have learned as a result of this.<br /> <br /> NVC is essentially about connecting. Connecting is about relationship, not about using a connection just to get information. (I spoke to the person I phoned for about 1.5 hours. We arrived naturally at my concern, after nearly an hour. I would like to stay in touch with the person, and he requested this too.)<br /> <br /> <br /> I have had the message from several directions during this time, that it is critically important for trainers/supporters/others who are involved, to understand the context in which they offer their contribution, especially the political and cultural context. The person I phoned described how his mother-tongue is spoken only in his home valley, then there is his nation's language, and then he also speaks English (he speaks all three fluently). He told me that he needs different examples (to illustrate NVC) for the contexts of each of those three languages. He said that Western examples cannot be used, the examples need contextualising to his local culture. He sees it as crucial for us all to &quot;add value&quot; and innovate with our own examples, and feed our experiences back to CNVC/ Marshall.<br /> <br /> <br /> He has such passion about this gift called NVC, and great enthusiasm for sharing NVC as widely as possible. He may not know the official Aim of the GCC (or even know about the GCC itself), but he is in tune with its desire to share NVC around the world, to make it available to meet people's needs and reduce the suffering in the world. He is doing this by constantly communicating about NVC, by encouraging people to at least read the CNVC website, by working in Development organisations and in schools, running practice groups, and planning talks to clubs, and to the prison authorities; and by contacting his contacts in neighbouring countries, sharing his enthusiasm, and requesting them to bring together a group for training, with some success. (All this since discovering NVC in late 2006).<br /> <br /> <br /> The person I phoned was already sensitive to how stretched he guessed Marshall must be. He sees the need for some kind of structure so that learning and innovations can be shared back and forth, and around the network. He said he believed that learning and development would be facilitated by CNVC creating Regional Nodes: for example for South Asia, South East Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Southern Africa, Northern Africa, Middle East, South America, Central America, North America, etc. He saw these as platforms for comments, advice, ideas from within the region, and for discussions. And when ideas are crystallised, then they can be sent to Marshall, and Marshall can give feedback through this channel too. In this way people from all over the world can be contributing.<br /> <br /> <br /> He saw that Regional Nodes would be very helpful in bringing about social change (one of Marshall's priorities). He sees that when people start interacting in their local context it leads to restructuring their society. Especially he sees schools having a very important place in this.<br /> <br /> <br /> Another person I spoke to separately placed great emphasis on having their needs for care met, for real interest and concern for their project and their safety in their country. They wanted the structure of the network to emerge from being in connection with each other, not the other way around.<br /> <br /> <br /> What I took from what I heard was that people are longing to use and spread NVC, and their primary need is for support in the initiatives/ projects they are working on. The important first step is to find out what kind of support individuals are needing as they try to spread NVC, and then to set up a structure that is most likely to be able to provide that.<br /> <br /> <br /> I hope that this small pilot study may make a useful contribution to helping members of the GCC see what steps they could take to &quot;first connect, then strategy&quot;.<br /> <br /> Warmly,<br /> Alison<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Subject: Fresh information, weary topic''' <br /> <br /> Dear Jori, <br /> <br /> We expect you are weary of this topic, but language issues are so critical in India that we needed to respond. <br /> <br /> We appreciate the enormity of the task that GCC faces and the time and commitment GCC members have devoted to tackle it. We understand that GCC needs to proceed with “good-enough” strategies and not wait for “perfect” ones. We also realize that to move forward, GCC members cannot wait until they have a complete understanding of realities in every country. Even so, we reacted strongly when we read the following statement made at the Jan. 26th GCC meeting:<br /> <br /> “These languages are spoken in virtually every country of the world either as a primary or secondary language. The example is India, where there are many languages, united by common language of English. …”<br /> <br /> Our jackals started howling. <br /> <br /> We are deeply concerned that if GCC uses this information as a basis for future decisions about India, our need for inclusion of all will not be met. From resources we have about English and literacy in India and our own experiences, the above statement does not reflect reality for the majority of people in India. We would like to share this information and experience with you. <br /> <br /> <br /> '''INFORMATION ABOUT INDIA''' <br /> <br /> '''English speakers'''<br /> <br /> Quote: “The government has recognized 22 languages as official; Hindi is the most widely spoken. India also has the second largest number of English speakers in the world with over 150 million people speaking English in India.”<br /> <br /> http://en.allexperts.com/e/d/de/demographics_of_india.htm <br /> <br /> Quote: “… imprecision exists with regard to the percentage of Indians who ‘speak English.’ The figure of 5% (approximately 50 million) is commonly accepted. But one commentator recently argued that only 2% ‘really’ speak good English, while others have claimed that the percentage is as high as 10%.”<br /> <br /> http://web.mit.edu/~kken/Public/papers1/Language%20Power%20Software.htm <br /> <br /> Quote: “…most Indians still live in rural areas and in small towns with different linguistic practices, and with scanty knowledge of English.” <br /> <br /> http://www.education.nic.in/language_new/Lg_Bur_website.pdf<br /> <br /> Quote: “For an outside world that harbours an image of a system churning out hard-working, numerate, techno-savvy and English-speaking graduates in their millions, the crisis in the country’s education system and the dire quality of the graduates that emerge from it should come as something of a shock. A focus on the successes of a small number of elite schools, especially the Indian Institutes of Technology and Indian Institutes of Management, has left an exaggerated impression of the depth of the talent pool created by the country’s education system.” http://www.ft.com/cms/s/cd516aa8-749a-11db-bc76-0000779e2340.html <br /> <br /> Comment: 50 to 150 million English speakers may seem like a large number; however, it is only 5% to 15% of the population. English is not a common language - even less so when one considers lack of fluency and its concentration in certain populations and areas. English is the language of the elite: the highly educated, the business community, and the moneyed. Most English speakers are concentrated in certain areas of cities, such as high-tech industrial centers, universities, financial districts, call centers, and tourist areas. <br /> <br /> '''Illiteracy''' <br /> <br /> Quote: “The population in India as at 0:00 hours on 1st March 2001 stood at 1,027,015,247 persons.” <br /> <br /> http://www.indianchild.com/population_of_india.htm <br /> <br /> Quote: “The literacy rates for the country as a whole increased … to 65.38 per cent in 2001 with literacy rate for males at 75.85 per cent and that for females at 54.16 per cent. … literacy in urban areas was 80.3 per cent and that in rural areas 59.4 per cent.” <br /> <br /> http://indiabudget.nic.in/es2001-02/chapt2002/chap106.pdf <br /> <br /> Quote: “India hosts the single largest illiterate population in the world. According to Census 2001, there are 302 million Indians above the age of six-years who are illiterate.”<br /> <br /> http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20020704/ncr2.htm <br /> <br /> Quote: “Literacy rates – currently 70 per cent – are misleading. A recent study found that 38 per cent of children who have completed four years of schooling cannot read a small paragraph with short sentences and that 55 per cent can’t divide a three-digit number by a single-digit one. A big reason why India has the world’s largest child labour force – 55m – is that schools serving the poor are of such low quality that the expected return on education is not equal to the sacrifice of income made in school years.” <br /> <br /> http://www.ft.com/cms/s/cd516aa8-749a-11db-bc76-0000779e2340.html <br /> <br /> Comment: Written material in ANY language will not reach over 300 million people - more than the population of the US and more than double the most optimistic number of English speakers. Most illiterate people are women and villagers. These statistics are painful enough. Living amongst the population they describe is even more painful. <br /> <br /> '''SEVERAL Examples from Our Experience''' <br /> <br /> A Meeting with Marshall in Nagpur<br /> <br /> When meetings are conducted in English, we notice that participants uncomfortable with English do not say anything when they do not understand. Not knowing the elite language is considered a sign of ignorance, so admitting it brings shame and embarrassment, we are told. At Nagpur, Marshall called a meeting to organize the NVC project in India. Regrettably, we forgot about translation into Hindi/Marathi. At the end of the meeting, Dilip asked one leader, a Buddhist priest, what he thought. He shrugged his shoulders and said that he did not understand anything since it was in English. <br /> <br /> NVC Trainings<br /> <br /> The Bangalore IIT and the Pune IIT were held in English. At both, Aniruddha and Kumarjeev offered some sessions in Hindi so that those struggling with English could understand. All other trainings which we have attended (including those taught by Aniruddha and Kumarjeev) and trainings we have organized have been either conducted in Gujarati, Hindi, or Marathi or translated into these languages. Participants could not have understood NVC concepts otherwise. Even with Hindi translation (as noted above, a language more widely spoken in India than English), Marathi speaking participants could not understand and needed some Marathi translations. Unfortunately, none of the four of us have the language skills to translate into any of the other Indian languages, effectively excluding other language speakers. <br /> <br /> Local Populations and Language<br /> <br /> While exploring cities to live in, we visited Bangalore where many IT professionals told us that we did not need to learn Kannada, the local language. This was true if all we wanted was to request the local population to serve us, e.g., order a taxi or food. Beyond this, however, it wasn’t true. The guard of the building we were staying in could not understand us when we asked whether we needed to close windows to keep the monkeys out – in English or in Hindi. We quickly realized that if we wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation with him or others of the local population, we needed to learn Kannada. This was the main reason we chose to live in Gujarat, where Dilip knows the local language. <br /> <br /> On the one hand, Beth would love English to be a common language because it would add considerable ease to her life. On the other hand, if it were a common language, it would strip identity, richness, cultural heritage, autonomy, and respect related to language from the entire Indian subcontinent since, being elite, English is valued more than the local languages. All of these values are important to her, and so she is willing to continue to struggle with learning the local language (Gujarati) instead of moving to a place where the elite language is widely spoken. <br /> <br /> <br /> We hope that by providing you this information, you can understand why our jackals were howling. Basing decisions on the assumption that English is a unifying language means that most Indians - primarily those who are not wealthy or highly educated or have access to resources - will not have a forum to express their needs and hear the needs of others. It means that only the elite Indians will be represented in regional or global CCs. <br /> <br /> We trust that GCC members, in their hearts, deeply desire to include all people. We trust that they share our concern for accurate information so that decisions over the long run can be inclusive, not exclusive. <br /> <br /> '''REQUEST:''' Would you be willing to convey this information about India to GCC? <br /> <br /> We appreciate the vulnerability of GCC in being transparent and also celebrate that that transparency allows us to contribute. We hope that the GCC continues this policy of transparency to allow others to contribute from their first-hand experiences in creating a broader, richer, and deeper understanding of issues of specific regions and the world. <br /> <br /> Please contact us or post a question on NVC-India-Info yahoo group if you would like more information or a discussion about this or any other topic related to NVC in India. <br /> <br /> Peace. <br /> <br /> Beth and Dilip <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> '''How do we create the circles outward from the GCC all the way to the community base?'''<br /> <br /> Jerry Koch-Gonzalez, Amherst, Massacusetts USA , 8th March 2007:<br /> <br /> An English West person has not been elected yet. I am guessing some names have been brainstormed. Jim or Jori: Brainstorm a few more perhaps. Then call the people on the brainstorm list and ask who who should be on the list. Some convergence may emerge. Pick 10 people from that list. Call them and ask them if they would be willing to be on an English West sociocracy implementation circle. If some say no call a few more. Have two conference calls with those folks and discuss the organization of the English West Circle. In the second call ask them to nominate a leader for English West. That person now serves on GCC if GCC accepts their nomination. That person now gathers more names if needed and initiates implementation circles for each region represented in their circle. Basically the description above repeats itself until it reaches the community base. And this can be done for all the language cirlces down to the geographic cirlces and on down to the lowest circles. At that point that lowest circle can elect their delegate up to next circle and so on all the way back up to the GCC. To me, supporting a process like this (and yes, it will be a unique process in each region) is the initial task of the GCC and its first members. Reactions? - Jerry<br /> <br /> ===================<br /> <br /> <br /> 6th March 2007<br /> <br /> Dear Jori, Jim, Eva, Isabelle, Pierre, Louise, Shantigarba, Kirsten, Chris, Meta, Linda, Ann, Jeff, Jan, Jerry, Laura, Dominic, Ron, Kumarjeev, Aniruddha,<br /> <br /> We were pleased by the GCC &quot;Invitation&quot; (see CNVC wiki), and have some heartfelt responses we would like to be known and considered by the GCC. We have expressed these in the attached letter (also shown below, in case of any problems with the attachment).<br /> <br /> Please would you read the letter, and bring the issues we raise and our proposal to the GCC teleconference on Wednesday?<br /> <br /> We look forward to your response.<br /> <br /> Warmly,<br /> Alison, Fabiola, Jenny<br /> <br /> <br /> 6th March 2007<br /> <br /> Dear Members of GCC, and members of the worldwide NVC community,<br /> <br /> We are three members of the NVC community living and working in the UK. We are pleased by the GCC's invitation to consider how we would like to be linked to others practicing NVC both locally and beyond, and the welcome they have extended to having feedback. We would like to respond. We are Jenny Edwards, Fabiola Fuentes and Alison Harper.<br /> <br /> The three of us are passionately committed to the vision and mission of CNVC. We were delighted to read Jori's description of the part that she and Jim intend to play: &quot;working together to support the connectivity that could fuel global social transformation through the growth of NVC consciousness.&quot; Yes!<br /> <br /> We understand the intention of the GCC is to have &quot;NVC Project Teams operating in every country of the world by 2017. Resources are developed to enable NVC teams to begin and sustain their projects. Teams will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.&quot; We also understand that the GCC see their role as including &quot;to explore the structures and strategies that will provide representation and mutual connection that will support us all in fulfilling our shared vision of the growth of compassionate giving, joy, and nonviolence in the world.&quot;<br /> <br /> In order to achieve this, we understand, from the GCC Minutes of the November, December and January teleconferences, that what has been proposed and agreed is a structure of language-based circles: English-speaking (Western), English-speaking (non-Western), French-speaking, Spanish/Portuguese/(Italian?)-speaking, and German/ (Dutch?)-speaking. We appreciate that the intention behind this proposal is to enable more active participation by members of the worldwide network who do not speak English, and we share the desire to facilitate their participation in collaborating in realizing the vision of CNVC.<br /> <br /> When we saw that a structure has been agreed based on these languages, the three of us felt devastated, alarmed, and angry, because our need for understanding and respect of the different contributions, contexts and cultures of members of the worldwide network is not met by this proposal. We trust that the members of the GCC share this need. But we are concerned that the strategies they have chosen will not meet this need, and we would like to be clear about why.<br /> <br /> 1. From the Minutes it appears to us as if the proposal has been generated and adopted without consultation with the network members native to South America, Africa and Asia. We would like to be sure that you have talked to all of the certified trainers, supporters and other NVC practitioners in those continents to find out from them how they would like to be included.<br /> <br /> Fabiola is a certified trainer who is Colombian living in the UK. She would like to have been consulted, and so far has not. When she read about what had been proposed, her response was:<br /> <br /> &quot;I want to be included from the beginning - before any decisions are made about what the GCC thinks is meeting our (people from South America, Africa and Asia) need for inclusion. I would like to be consulted about any ideas or strategy that the GCC thinks will meet our need for inclusion, even if the ideas and strategies are temporary. I want to acknowledge that the GCC's intention is one of inclusion. AND I need confirmation right from the beginning that they are trying to CONNECT with us in order to meet the need I have for inclusion. I would like people in the GCC to take time to talk with those of us who are part of the CNVC community and come from Africa, South America and Asia. And for this to have happened before any election of functional leaders took place. I am asking the GCC to reconsider their strategy and to widen the process of consultation so that the functional leaders that are elected really and truly represent who we are. I trust that those the GCC have elected would care about us. What I am finding hard to trust is the process because of a lack of quality of connection that gives me the confidence that my needs will truly be heard. I want to have a voice from the beginning.&quot;<br /> <br /> 2. We believe that language-based circles will run the risk of exacerbating conflict. It appears from the Minutes of the GCC teleconferences that Chris Rajendram from Sri Lanka shares this concern and would like to see a different basis for the circles. He said:<br /> <br /> &quot;I understand now what was blocking me from the conversation - we are killing each other (in Sri Lanka) because of the language. I'd like another way of uniting us and getting a central circle functioning&quot;.<br /> <br /> 3. The four language groups (English, French, German/Dutch and non-French Romance (Spanish, Portuguese, Italian)) on which the circles are based are the languages of the countries (&quot;colonial powers&quot;) that made choices to go to other geographic areas of the world from the 17th to the 20th centuries and, through punitive use of force as well as other means, implement national, international and corporate structures that did not recognize, value or support the inherent worth of the native people of those areas, their languages or their cultures, and which thus did not meet their needs for inclusion, respect and recognition. The impact of these actions on, for example the native people of Africa, has been a deep legacy of pain, and a deep suspicion of the intentions of people from the &quot;colonial&quot; areas of the world and who speak those languages. <br /> <br /> We mourn and empathise for that pain and for that suspicion, and want to be part of organizations that may help to heal those wounds and repair those relationships by visibly demonstrating that they value the unique gifts and insights of each person, each culture and each language. So we are very concerned when we see an organisation that has emerged from white Western roots suggesting a form of representation based on the &quot;colonial&quot; languages, even if that is only a first step in the process. It does not meet our needs for awareness and caring for the pain of people from these other areas of the world, nor for inclusion of their voices right from the beginning.<br /> <br /> 4. As a strategy for meeting these needs for inclusion, recognition and care we would like to have presence and visibility of people of all races right at the heart of CNVC and right from the beginning of an organization - the GCC - that is aiming to &quot;support the connectivity that could fuel global social transformation&quot;. We feel concerned when we see that the people selected so far as the functional leaders in the GCC it seems to us do not represent a diversity of races and cultures.<br /> <br /> When people of one race and culture attempt to represent people of other races and cultures quite a lot of important information can unwittingly be left out because of differences of cultural perspectives that inadvertently filter the meaning of what is expressed to them by people of other races and cultures.<br /> <br /> Those are the reasons why we are so concerned about the strategy being followed by the GCC. We deeply trust that the members of the GCC have the intention to find ways to connect with network members worldwide in ways that meet everybody's needs. And we believe that sociocratic processes exist to support the intention to meet everybody's needs.<br /> <br /> <br /> Request &amp; Proposal - for an amended approach<br /> <br /> We request the GCC to reconsider their strategy for moving forward, and to amend it. We propose:<br /> <br /> 1. First connect. Contact, by phone or email, all the certified trainers and supporters listed on the CNVC website, to make personal connections with them, particularly those in Africa, Asia and South America.<br /> <br /> 2. Then listen. Find out and appreciate what is already going on. Seek to understand how we can build on what has already been created in each area in pursuing the aim of Project Teams in every country by 2017. We believe this can help to provide the recognition, celebration and support we would want, especially for those who are working to bring NVC to non-white countries, cultures and languages.<br /> <br /> 3. Identify needs not yet met through what already exists in support of global social transformation. What do the people who are actually seeking to bring about global social transformation in their part of the world see is needed there to achieve that objective? <br /> <br /> 4. Consult. Find out how practitioners worldwide would like to be connected, represented and involved in pursuing that vision - so that they have a voice from the beginning. The current survey of NVC practitioners in Australia and New Zealand appears to be a step in this direction. Inclusion is the process, not the outcome.<br /> <br /> 5. Share and communicate the different ideas and input that have been offered.<br /> <br /> 6. Explore possible strategies to address those unmet needs. Ensure everyone has an opportunity to understand each strategy under consideration (e.g., sociocracy) before inviting them to select those strategies that will meet their needs.<br /> <br /> 7. Select a strategy, processes and structure with the opportunity for inclusion by anyone who wishes. (This comes at the end of the process, rather than going out with a structure and trying to fit people into it).<br /> <br /> <br /> We long to see an integration of the gifts of all cultures, including those that bring the clarity of individuality and those that bring the capacity to feel the interconnectedness of the whole. We look forward to collaborating with you and people in the network throughout the world in creating an interconnected global organisation that will support and inspire all of us to be fully effective in bringing the gifts of NVC to creating a world in which everyone's needs are met.<br /> <br /> <br /> Warm wishes,<br /> <br /> Jenny Edwards, Fabiola Fuentes, Alison Harper<br /> <br /> <br /> NVC-UK SOCIOCRACY CIRCLE SELECTS OBSERVERS TO GCC<br /> =================================================<br /> <br /> Hi there,<br /> <br /> On the recent UK Sociocracy teleconference (11th January 2007) we selected three people to act as observers between them on the next three GCC meetings. Below is the extract from our minutes.<br /> <br /> Warmly, Shantigarbha<br /> <br /> Proposal 2a: To elect someone to act as an observer at the next three GCC meetings and who would report back to us in an agreed manner.<br /> CONSENT GIVEN.<br /> <br /> Proposal 2b: To draw up a role and person specification for the observer <br /> <br /> CONSENT GIVEN to the following parts of the role description<br /> · Listening in to GCC meetings and making notes<br /> · Reporting back to NVC-UK Network phone meeting for four minutes, plus writing 200 word summary and emailing it to the network for next three calls.<br /> <br /> CONSENT NOT GIVEN to mandating the observer to ask questions on our behalf nor to speak about issues on our behalf.<br /> CONSENT GIVEN to Shantigarbha, Gina and Jo to consider these possibilities (asking questions and raising issues) and to bring proposal to our next telephone conference call.<br /> <br /> CONSENT GIVEN to including the following requirements of the observer:<br /> · accuracy<br /> · impartiality<br /> · ability to report back succinctly<br /> · has appropriate technology.<br /> <br /> <br /> Proposal 3: To elect three observers to observe the GCC meetings between now and our next conference call (this is likely to involve observing three meetings) <br /> CONSENT GIVEN to Shantigarbha, Laura and Daren. Shantigarbha will contact Laura and Daren, invite them to accept the nomination and then arrange coverage of the three meetings.<br /> <br /> April 14, 2007<br /> <br /> Doug Johnson alias Windseye:<br /> <br /> The following image suggests that all those who are interested in furthering NVC in the world be included in the collection of people in the large circle, be it the governing council, the coordinating council, the international members of NVC or whatever, and that these folks, as suggested in the image, organize themselves within countries and send two reps to a virtual or real GCC leadership meeting for the purpose of selecting ten candidate reps to the GCC Leaders council. It's been suggested that no more than ten people can comfortable teleconference and while this is a desirable and necessary organ of development than this provides a way to get en people selected without excluding anyone whether in an interest or theme circle or not, whether a certified trainer or not.<br /> <br /> Namaste,<br /> Doug<br /> <br /> [[Image:Proposed GCC picture.jpg]]<br /> <br /> <br /> How does the [[CNVC LT]] fit into this picture? --[[User:John Abbe|John Abbe]] 20:57, 15 April 2007 (CEST)<br /> <br /> See [http://en.nvcwiki.com/index.php/Minutes_October_21-25_CNVC_GCC/Board_Conference this], particularly the attached PDF file at the end.

Each team develops its own mission and aim(s) inclusively inviting interested community members to participate within their circle. Teams operate with autonomy to fulfill their goals while working interdependently within the guidelines and policies of CNVC. Teams are connected to support mutual learning.<br /> <br /> Individual members of teams cultivate an ever-increasing ability to &quot;live the process&quot; of Nonviolent Communication.

Jori: Tension wanting acknowledgement of people taking their own responsibility to speak up.<br /> ***Support: translation; space of silence to speak <br /> ***Allow them to make mistakes, e.g., Miki: “It will be awkward but hang in there.” <br /> ***Greater sense of acceptance<br /> ***Example from a training: Allowed a trainer to speak in his own language while others took it even though they did know the language<br /> ***Bob: AA meetings and Co-counseling groups make this possible. Eg. Those maginalized speak first.<br /> ***''How do different cultures create such an environment?''<br /> *Jim: How do you bring people to the open door?<br /> **Dilip: Making it relevant to their context<br /> **Jim: Welcoming: e.g., Potluck to welcome new neighbours<br /> ***''What do other cultures do to welcome relatives, friends, neighbours, strangers?''<br /> **Anjali: Ask for testimonials and personal stories from trainers and practitioners all over the world; make them available to all sharing NVC as well as on the CNVC website. <br /> ***''What kinds of testimonials are relevant and inspiring for different cultures?''<br /> **Dilip: Songs, stories, street theater have been the traditional methods of spreading a message in India<br /> **Anjali: Stories, laughter, fun, play, joy, celebration – all make “it” easier. She is working on the for early childhood<br /> ***''Somehow the line between drawing people to NVC vs. GCC was blurred. Both are important; however, I assume we are focusing on bringing them to GCC open door.'' <br /> ***''Sometimes the open door may need to go to people rather expect people to come to it. For example, informal schools in India are often held where the children are. I can imagine GCC periodically rotating its meeting venues.''<br /> *Jori: Practice NVC and create deeper connections with people<br /> **Bob: “Listening Table at the Farmers’ Market” in Berkeley. <br /> **Ask: “Are you fighting with someone? I am here to listen.”<br /> **People have started their own practice groups after being listened to. <br /> **''Do other communities have such forums? What are they?''<br /> **Jori: Weekly dialogues, which are at present open to trainers. She will consider opening them to the community. Overwhelming!<br /> ***''How do other communities and cultures hold such dialogues?''<br /> *Transform these strategies into questions to inquire how other cultures and communities do it. <br /> **Inquire vial email, e-groups, … <br /> **Pose them to your neighbours, friends, …<br /> **''Pose them to people working at the grassroots level as Alison, Fabiola, and Jenny have suggested. Request them to suggest their own strategies.<br /> *Dilip: Doubts about walking through the open door:<br /> **Do I belong there?''<br /> **Will I understand them? Will they understand me?<br /> **''Only English is spoken there and I do not know English<br /> **I am not sure whether I understand enough to contribute<br /> **Will they listen? If they listen, will they act on it?''<br /> *Anjali: Book written by her mother: “Cultures of the World” for school children<br /> *Mercedes: How do we ensure that the results of the teleconference would be acted upon?<br /> *Dilip: How do we connect in between teleconferences? <br /> **Jim will create a e-group on Google. Send email to NVCTrainer@gmail.com<br /> **''Would like to be better prepared.'' <br /> **''The work begins now; we have only taken a first step. How do we work on this issue in between teleconferences?''<br /> **''t is not possible for everyone in India to participate in these conferences regularly. Costs can be a barrier. We need to make alternate arrangements to confer and get contributions from people.'' <br /> *''Assumptions we make about life and cultures are sometimes deep rooted and subconscious. Example: “In India, people will use Hindi or English.” Sometimes it requires being immersed in the culture.'' <br /> *''GCC and Translation: Imagine that a certified trainer, with the ability to connect with many many people in her country, walked through that open door of GCC. Suppose that she did not know English or any of the other European languages. How would GCC welcome and support her? For example, would GCC be willing to have online translations to have her included or would it still carry on in English?'' <br /> **''I can imagine non-European-language speakers being members and facilitators of GCC. <br /> **''If GCC wants a project in every country, can it afford to connect to project leaders/members only through intermediaries? Risks are enormous as demonstrated by many NGOs in India.'' <br /> **''The language issue has been described very well by Alison, Fabiola, and Jenny.''<br /> <br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 4 April 2007==<br /> Start 1500 GMT, 5pm Paris, 8am US PT, 9:30pm Pune, 5am NZ<br /> <br /> '''ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS'''<br /> *Members: Jim, Jori, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Andy Basu <br /> **note: Dominic Barter, proposed member, was with us for a short time.

She sees the power pf language as a CONTACT POINT. She asked for reactions from members:<br /> ***Andy: the joy of sharing in English mixed witht he sadness of being unable to express fully in my mother tongue.<br /> ***Eva: for many it is easier to speak from the heart in English, free from the habits of native language.<br /> ***Anne: wondering how we can make that happen-language is not the only problem.

Would like the Eastern Europeans to decide for themselves how to link to the GCC; also wanted to express unity of all Europe and invite to join through the English-speaking &quot;western&quot; link to the GCC.<br /> ***Reactions:<br /> ****Eva: very touched with what she hears. Will ask Eastern European network for feedback. Would personally prefer to connect through English-speaking &quot;other&quot; to GCC. No clear on what it means on a practical level. Working on a different image of the structure. Many Eastern countries need financial support.<br /> ****Jori: touched; likes linking Eastern and Western Europe. Unclear about practical; need for economic balance.<br /> ****Anne: celebration that people are gathering and building community; puzzled; not sure about best strategy for connection<br /> ****Laura: really like the care and appreciate the invitation. all positive reactions.<br /> ***Jim agreed to post the invitation in the minutes: &quot;The Nordic Baltic circle would like to have the Eastern Europe Circle be double linked to the English<br /> Western Circle, because we see us all as Europe, and many of the<br /> countries are members of the EU, and both circles speak English.&quot;<br /> **'''Structure proposal''' (Eva)<br /> ***I would like to send out an invitation: each local circle are<br /> welcome to choose a representative to the GCC. These people would be<br /> voting members of GCC. If the number goes above 10 we would<br /> reorganize ourselves. I believe 10 is the maximum number for an<br /> effective phone conference.<br /> ***Jori's reactions: worried about personal agendas; need for global vision; wants equal access to GCC but not necessaily voting members. <br /> PROPOSAL: Table agenda item and sit with it- Send any suggestions for reformulation to Eva eva@rambala.hu CONSENT<br /> <br /> <br /> CLOSING ROUND <br /> *Cathy: grateful to connect back in with the community glad to be a part. look forward to more.<br /> *Alison: warmed; very happy with sense of more possibilities for inclusion with GCC and contributing.<br /> *Fabiola: (via Jenny) feeling disappointed about the balance towad Administrative issues; annoyed, wanting respect<br /> *Jenny: Heavy heart; despairing; wanting ways of working and communicating with rest of world; not confident in present strategy. this is a big crisis for me. would like more opportunity for a say and a vote, to find ways to hear, understand, and address fully.<br /> *Isabelle: concerned about structure; would like more preparation on agenda items. would like to offer reports to be read before meeting and then have oppoprtunity for clarification. I miss the upward links. mixed feelings.<br /> *Markus: torn; very grateful to hear the voices and how you facilitate; would have liked more time to discuss Eva's proposals. Triggered about &quot;personal agenda, global perspective&quot; comment. Sad about that.<br /> *Laura: energized; mixed feelngs hearing some of the fedback. One of the the most alive conference calls; i liked going with the life!<br /> *Kirsten: Felt very good when closing round began; now I feel concerrn. Really enjoyed what we have been doing. Would like focus on a double link between circles. I don't know what to say about not being involved. I'm not experiencing a lack of connection. I would welcome people taking responsisbility for making connection. I have so much to say but will stop now.<br /> *Jerry: enjoying the sense that what people want is connection. see very different strategies. would like to see the structure built.<br /> *Andy: grateful for the time t set up and participate in the meeting. excited, still have &quot;sweaty hands&quot; about getting involved. Like the &quot;non-exclusivity&quot;<br /> *Eva: peaceful; i licked the connection. Sad that Dom was not present more.

Touching to see difference in reactions; enjoying that we are all of this. i'm enoying that are trying and that we share a dream. feeling honored. i express gratitude to observers and Jim and Jori.<br /> *Jori: feeling a poignancy about needs not met and celebrating that they are here, included and considered, then can be met. g.ad t table issues and give time for the heart. its so easy to facilitate when everyone has NVC consciousness.<br /> <br /> Meeting closed at 1708.<br /> <br /> Recording of the call until the next meeting is available @ Free Conference Call<br /> Play Back Number: 1.641.985.5033<br /> Access Code: 297165#<br /> <br /> ==Notes sur la Téléconférence du 4 Avril 2007 (en français)==<br /> <br /> Les membres officiels du GCC (Conseil de Coordination Général) sont à ce jour :<br /> - Jori et Jim Manske, comme leaders de ce groupe ;<br /> - Eva Rambala comme représentante des Anglophones dont l’anglais n’est pas la langue maternelle ;<br /> - Anne Bourrit comme représentante des Francophones ;<br /> - Andreas Basu comme représentant des Germanophones et Néerlandophones depuis cette rencontre téléphonique-ci ;<br /> - Dominic Barter est pressenti comme représentant des Lusophones et Hispanophones, mais n’a pas encore pu être élu, car n’était pas présent aux rencontres téléphoniques ou ‘éjecté’ par une mauvaise liaison téléphonique depuis le Brésil où il réside).<br /> <br /> Tous les représentants élus l’ont été pour six mois.<br /> Le GCC se réunit au rythme d’une conférence téléphonique par mois environ.<br /> <br /> Présents à la conférence téléphonique du 4 avril, tout ou partie du temps :<br /> <br /> Jim et Jori : leaders<br /> Andreas, Anne, Eva : membres élus<br /> Rita Herzog (USA), Cathy Hartman (USA), Jenny Edwards (GB), Fabiola Fuentes (Colombienne vivant en GB), Alison Harper (GB), Isabell Peters (DE), Markus Sikor (DE), Louise Romain (Anglaise vivant en FR et DE), Laura X (HU), Michael Dillo (CH), Pierre-Marie Lamielle (FR), Dominic Barter (Anglais vivant au BR), Kirsten (DK), Jerry X (USA) : observateurs, dont certains ont été appelés à participer, par Jori ou Jim.<br /> <br /> Le CNVC déménage et s’installe au Nouveau Mexique<br /> <br /> A partir du 7 mai, voici la nouvelle adresse du CNVC et ses coordonnées téléphoniques :<br /> <br /> The Center for Nonviolent Communication<br /> PO Box 6384<br /> Albuquerque, NM 87197<br /> Phone: +1.505.244.4041<br /> Fax: +1.505.247.0414<br /> <br /> Marshall et Valentina sont déjà installés là-bas, Jim et Jori Manske également.<br /> Danielle Beenders et William Cerf ont fait le choix de les suivre.<br /> Dee Soule (certification) et Miguel ne se sont pas encore décidés.<br /> Ont choisi de rester en Californie : Sol, Gina et Cristina.<br /> Ce grand changement demande une organisation différente, une nouvelle personne a été engagée pour diriger le bureau, elle s’appelle Margo Pair.<br /> <br /> Les nouvelles orientations en cours permettront à Marshall de consacrer davantage de temps à l’écriture et de voyager moins.<br /> Les frais de fonctionnement du bureau devraient être réduits (le niveau de vie au Nouveau Mexique est plus bas qu’en Californie).<br /> <br /> <br /> Demandes de suspension de toutes certifications<br /> <br /> Rita Herzog, responsable de la commission internationale de certification, fait savoir que l’arrêt complet des certifications durant deux mois demandé par Marshall sert en fait à trouver un nouvel accord entre Marshall et l’équipe certificatrice.<br /> Elle célèbre la clarté qui vient, tout en reconnaissant être passablement secouée et être passée par des hauts et bas (et surtout des bas !) : « Nous sommes en phase de déconstruction dans le but d’aller vers du neuf. Le chaos peut être très sain. Nous avons tant besoin de ce qui est en cours d’émergence… Nous cherchons des chemins plus au service de la Vie et plus sains. »<br /> <br /> Cette suspension des certifications a été mise au service d’une réflexion proposée à toutes les personnes faisant partie de l’équipe internationale de certification (personnes chargées de l’évaluation des candidats ainsi que coordinateurs/trices de la certification). Le réseau francophone a transmis ses réflexions à Marshall, Valentina et à l’équipe de certification.<br /> <br /> Nomination d’un nouveau représentant au GCC<br /> <br /> Andreas Basu est élu comme représentant du réseau germanophone.<br /> Avant de dire oui à son élection, il est vérifié qu’Isolde et les autres personnes qui viennent de proposer la création d’un centre européen seront prises en compte. Andreas est proche d’Isolde (certificatrice germanophone) et a signifié son intention de rester en contact et en dialogue avec elle et les autres signataires de cette proposition, ceci de concert avec Jori et Jim, pour une poursuite de l’échange et une écoute des souffrances qui ont été au point de départ de leur initiative.<br /> <br /> Le réseau en Allemagne connaît une période d’agitation, Markus Sikor (coordinateur de la certification en Allemagne) espère que ce chaos va permettre au réseau germanophone d’émerger dans une énergie différente, dans une énergie au service de la Vie.<br /> <br /> Création du cercle africain<br /> <br /> Le GCC est en questionnement concernant l’accès aux infos de certains pays ou régions ou personnes dans le monde. Trois personnes d’expression anglaise (Alison, Jenny et Fabiola) avaient exprimé leur inquiétude à ce sujet lors de la réunion téléphonique précédente et par des courriels très élaborés au GCC. Elles aimeraient être rassurées que le GCC démarre son fonctionnement en incluant dès le début des représentants des pays moins favorisés sur le plan économique.<br /> <br /> Anne fait part de la création toute récente d’un premier cercle africain, dont Pierre Muanda Ngoma est le 1er lien et Jean-Baptiste Ndikuriyo le 2e lien. Elle ajoute que Dunia Hategekimana, coordinateur des projets africains, a été informé et a donné sa bénédiction aux personnes en question. Jenny fait part de son regret de ne pas voir Dunia invité à faire partie du GCC, alors qu’il pourrait y être une personne ressource. Jim se promet de prendre contact rapidement avec lui.<br /> <br /> Invitation de chacun à rejoindre le GCC<br /> <br /> Eva Rambala propose que n’importe quel cercle existant qui en aurait le goût puisse envoyer un représentant au GCC. Quitte à gérer le chaos ensuite, si plus de dix représentants apparaissaient en peu de temps ! Des craintes sont émises par la plupart des autres membres du GCC. Finalement, la décision est prise de constituer une ‘commission d’inclusion, ou de non exclusion’, pour favoriser la reliance au GCC autrement qu’aujourd’hui. Jim en sera le responsable.<br /> <br /> Création d’un nouveau cercle Baltique<br /> <br /> Kirsten Kristensen annonce la création d’un nouveau ‘Cercle Baltique’ composé de personnes du Danemark, de Norvège, de Suède et de Finlande ; ce cercle souhaiterait se relier au GCC via Eva Rambala et ainsi établir des liens privilégiés avec l’Europe de l’Est. Eva se réjouit de la possibilité symbolique de rassemblement des pays aisés avec des pays ayant moins de facilité sur le plan économique. Aucune décision n’est prise pour le moment.<br /> <br /> Temps de célébration<br /> <br /> Le partage final est mitigé.<br /> Certains sont inquiets ou découragés, d’autres remplis d’énergie.<br /> <br /> Pour celles et ceux qui se débrouillent en anglais : on peut trouver un rapport détaillé de chaque rencontre téléphonique (et même un enregistrement audio N° à composer: 001.641.985.5033 Code d'accès: 297165#)<br /> <br /> Rapport rédigé par Anne Bourrit et Martine Marenne le 10 avril 2007<br /> <br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 7 March 2007==<br /> <br /> AGENDA:<br /> <br /> Start 1600 GMT, 5pm Paris, 8am US PT, 9:30pm Pune, 5am NZ <br /> <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS<br /> *Attendees: Jim, Jori, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Isabell Peters, Chris Ranjendram, Dominic Barter, Louise Romain, Laura Liliom, Alison Harper, Towe Widstrand, Shantigarbha, Jerry Koch-Gonzales<br /> *Next meeting date-4 APR, 1600 UT, 5 pm CET, 8 am US PT, 9:30 pm Pune, 5 am NZ<br /> *Acceptance of agenda for today with additions by Alison and Eva<br /> <br /> CONSENT ITEMS:<br /> *a.

I'm feeling a mixture of gratitude, inspiration, frustration and regret. The regret is around a typo in the Participant Access number in the email invitation that was sent. The number on the wiki was correct. I remain puzzled as to how this happened since I thought I copied from one to the other.<br /> <br /> *Present on the call today were:<br /> **Linda Rysenbry, SEA&amp;O temporary representative, Sydney, Australia<br /> **Ann Bouritt, French Circle, Geneva, Switzerland<br /> **Jeff Brown, ENACC representative, St. Louis, USA<br /> **Jan, Observer, Idaho, USA<br /> **Jerry Koch-Gonzales, Observer, Massachusetts, USA<br /> **Laura Liliom, Eastern European Circle, Budapest, Hungary<br /> **Chris Rajendram, Sri Lanka<br /> **Kirsten Kristensen, Nordic/Baltic Circle, Denmark, from the Canary Islands<br /> **Jim Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> **Jori Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> <br /> *Regrets: <br /> **Dominic Barter, Brazil, communicated via email, appended to bottom of report<br /> **Ron Ngata, New Zealand, couldn't connect because of typo :(<br /> **Eva Rambala<br /> **Kumarjeev<br /> **Aniruddha<br /> <br /> *Following check-in, we handled the following consent items:<br /> **a. Jori as meeting facilitator today; consent<br /> **b. Jim as notetaker today; consent<br /> **c. Jim and Jori as functional leaders of GCC for one year; consent<br /> **d. Aim of GCC; consent, with addition of &quot;groups will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.&quot;<br /> **e. Nonviolent governance utilizing consent, feedback, linking. consent<br /> **f. Participants on the call today are the initial planning team for today. consent, after clarifying discussion of balance and equality and term of this meeting.<br /> <br /> **Additionally there was consent that the observers could act as full participants for today's meeting.<br /> <br /> {Note on sociocratic consent-generally in sociocracy, if a person does not attend a meeting, their consent is implied. Inclusion is protected because any item consented at one meeting can be brought back up for consideration at a future meeting by anyone withdrawing consent to that item. Thus, Dom's lack of consent, via email, to some agenda items can be re-visited at the next meeting. -Jim}<br /> <br /> *Following the consent round, we began exploring the issues around the systems and structures that could best support the aim of the GCC. Jori shared some ideas that she and Jim generated than asked for responses: <br /> <br /> **What is the GCC? The GCC is a circle that links to the Leadeship Team and the Network; it is a policy building circle focusing on network connections; the policies being tested at both the LT and the network level.<br /> <br /> **We suggest starting with a planning team, initially seeking those in the network who have built successful projects; that are willing to work together to create templates in support of new projects being formed as a vehicle for mutual learning.<br /> <br /> *Main issues identified by the group to consider:<br /> **How to bring the GCC to concrete form<br /> **Wondering about languages, navigating the differences<br /> **Different ways of passing information through the network<br /> **The size of the GCC &quot;body&quot; <br /> **How many levels/layers could be required<br /> **How to determine the makeup of the GCC to best serve the needs of the network<br /> **Managing the number of people involved in a given meeting/call<br /> **How to deal with time zone differences spanning the globe<br /> **Clarifying the relationship of the LT and the GCC<br /> **How to balance including &quot;successful team leaders&quot; with representation from &quot;new countries that have not yet had a successful project&quot;.<br /> **Acknowledging the need for both appointed and elected members of the GCC<br /> **Acknowledgment of financial cost of involvement, wondering about support for those with less resources.<br /> **The need for the system to acknowledge both language differences and geographic differences<br /> <br /> *At this point Jori shared some ideas she and Jim had been discussing for beginning with a system that consisted of four language groups. <br /> **These languages are spoken in virtually every country of the world either as a primary or secondary language. The example is India, where there are many languages, united by a common language of English. In Vietnam, many speak both Vietnamese and French.<br /> **Each of the four languages would have an appointed leader on the GCC and also an elected representative; thus the GCC would be composed of at least 10 people, including Jori and Jim.<br /> **(French, German, English, Spanish/Portuguese/Italian [Romance languages other than French])<br /> <br /> *Reactions:<br /> **Excitement about focusing on 4 language groups that cover virtually every country as a starting place <br /> **Need to Consider translation and interpretation strategies<br /> **Utilize written word for clarity, ease of interpretation, and spanning time zones, eg Dom's ideas around &quot;soc-e-ocracy&quot;.<br /> **Suggest keep circle size of 12 or less<br /> **Some worry about difficulty between understanding in Sp/Portuguese circle<br /> **Some worry that language differences can stimulate conflict...<br /> **Some concern that language is subsidiary to geography...how to deal with people who share geography but not language, eg Quebec<br /> **Some concern for maintaining geographic representation for policy roles and appreciation for the simplicity of language groups<br /> **Concern for maintaining global awareness<br /> **Geography &quot;primary&quot; over language for global overview and local connection?<br /> **Wants A GCC small enough to function yet insures inclusion through connection to the larger network<br /> <br /> <br /> Closing Round:<br /> <br /> Linda: Glad to be a part of the call; values being aware and connected to some of the issues; enjoyed picture-making; looking for clarity re planning team and gcc; seeing important to begin with knowledge things will be refined/changed.<br /> <br /> Ann: In touch with the complexity of the matter, enriched by reactions of others; our experience in the French speaking circle is that the more organized we get, the more we see people from other areas wanting to connect and get in touch; its important to focus on starting, not focus as much on the how of starting; grateful for presence of everyone and for Jori's facilitation.<br /> <br /> Jeff: Energized, excited, glad that Kirsten and Chris could join the call; excited about the potential to get people connected; the most excitement about organizing by language; could facilitate cross-cultural connection if we were to organize it that way; happy we're having the conversation and moving forward; deep trust in the NVC process and that whatever we come up with will serve the network.<br /> <br /> Jan: Admiring and celebrating willingness to hold and consider issues; more aware now of the complexity; grateful; hopeful; beginning is important-to try something and have a &quot;reconsideration point&quot; chosen to check in if &quot;it&quot; is working.<br /> <br /> Jerry: Pleased with care and consideration and some sense of motion; enjoyed inclusion of observers; concerned about inclusion of observers for efficiency of future meetings; not clear yet on who holds decision-making responsibility.<br /> <br /> Laura: (No check-out, lost connection?)Oh, I got kicked off at the end closing round.<br /> But I would like to then give final feedback by email:<br /> <br /> I enjoyed being part of our call very much, I am at this moment suppressed by the weight of the complexity of this task that is ahead of us now, and also would like to thank Jori for this – to me – wonderful facilitation. I feel a deep appreciation to her facilitation talent and skills. I am really impressed.<br /> <br /> I felt the conference call was efficient, although we did not cover the whole agenda.<br /> I celebrate that I was able to be part of this call now and was able to help one person to join the call and also that I had this time to connect with NVC people from all around the world.<br /> <br /> Kirsten: (No check-out, lost connection?)<br /> <br /> Chris: Enjoyed joining even if late; I understand now what was blocking me from the conversation-we are killing each other (in Sri Lanka) because of the language. I'd like another way of uniting us and getting a central circle functioning; more clarity; grateful for inclusion; glad to have heard voices.<br /> <br /> Jori: Like the increased creativity and grateful for all the feedback<br /> <br /> Jim: Excited about the connection; regret about the typo that may have prevented Ron, Eva, Aniruddha, and Kumarjeev from participating and delayed Chris' connection; grateful to have the support of the folks who participated today; moving closer to clarity about structure and systemic issues; hungry for feedback about other picture forming agenda item; suggest we try using email and the wiki to explore it.<br /> <br /> Meeting was closed after 2 hours.<br /> <br /> ==Request from the notetaker:==<br /> I'd like to invite folks to edit their closing round comments for clarity and brevity. I'd also enjoy you clarifying any issues in the picture-forming if they do not reflect your thoughts, feelings, or needs, or if fresh insights arise. My preference is that you use the wiki; if you are not yet comfortable with the wiki, you can email me your edits and I will edit for you.<br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted with joy and gratitude,<br /> <br /> Jim Manske<br /> nvctrainer@gmail.com<br /> <br /> (PS Additions receeived via email from Dominic Barter are below)<br /> <br /> Dear all,<br /> <br /> I am disappointed to miss this meeting, as I already had teaching activities planned for this time. <br /> <br /> I am eager to connect with you all and test the decision making abilities of this group configured in this way. I continue to experience much energy for co-creating CNVC, after almost 4 years of participation in committees and meetings of this sort, tempered by many, growing doubts about the directions taken during this time.<br /> <br /> One of them is the lack of any current mechanism for participating except by being present at this call, something I imagine many - of not all - of us will experience at some point. So, with this e-mail, I hope to create such a mechanism:<br /> <br /> Please see - and voice/include/consider and respond - to the comments I make after each item.<br /> <br /> Please also add to the agenda discussion on the development of a time-scale for selecting meeting agendas (how many days before a meeting they are proposed, how each participant may contribute to them (wiki, etc.)).<br /> <br /> Or - why not? - let me know if this would not be fun.<br /> <br /> <br /> On 27 Nov 2006, at 16:44, Jim Manske wrote:<br /> <br /> Time: 1300 UT/GMT, 8 am US EST, 2pm Central Europe Time (CET), 6:30pm India Time<br /> <br /> Please canvass the time zones we are all mostly in most of the time and include all at th top of each agenda.<br /> <br /> Please propose a way for making participation relatively equally economically viable for all participants (can CNVC provide the Skype credits for those living in high cost phone countries to dial in this way?

Celebrations and Mournings (15 minutes)<br /> <br /> I'm feeling engaged and curious, having met my need for participation and creativity and noticing a tingling unmet need for connection.<br /> Would anyone enjoy sharing a written response to this e-mail and / or the voice meeting?<br /> <br /> 1500 Closing of Meeting <br /> <br /> Love to all,<br /> <br /> Dominic<br /> <br /> ==UK Sociocratic Circle==<br /> On Nov 22, 2006, Jori and Jim joined the UK Sociocratic Circle for a teleconference.<br /> <br /> ==Eastern Europe==<br /> Monica Reu writes: &quot;The Eastern European Network had its monthly teleconference meeting Nov 10, 2006 and following a sociocratic election process Laura Liliom from Hungary was elected to represent our network in the teleconference on the 28th of November.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==ENACC==<br /> *[[CIA2006 Session Summary]]<br /> On Nov 5, 2006, Jim and Jori participated in a call of the ENACC (The NVC English-speaking North American Coordinating Circle).<br /> <br /> ==S&amp;EA/O==<br /> *[[S&amp;EA/O Sociocratic Circle]]<br /> On Nov 2, 2006, Jim and Jori participated in a call of the S&amp;EA/O (South and East Asia/Oceania Circle).<br /> <br /> The [[S&amp;EA/O Sociocratic Circle| S&amp;EA/O Circle]] hosted [[A Gathering of Leaders in NVC|A 2006 NVC Leadership event]], and is considering one in 2007.<br /> <br /> ==INVITATION / EINLADUNG / L'INVITATION/INVITACION==<br /> <br /> ===INVITATION===<br /> Dear Community,<br /> <br /> We invite you to consider how you would like to be linked to others practicing NVC in your local area and to the broader NVC community. Would you like to contribute to this connectivity?<br /> <br /> As sociocratically selected leaders of the new GCC for the coordination of NVC communities worldwide, I am delighted that Jim and I will working together to support the connectivity that could fuel global social transformation through the growth of NVC consciousness. We are committed to the fulfillment of the vision of having NVC teams in every country in the world. We will be working to help build teams in areas that do not have them, and learning from and supporting connection with existing NVC groups. This is one of the major areas of functionality identified for CNVC at the recent Board meeting.<br /> <br /> We will be meeting later this month with the representatives previously nominated by existing circles to explore the structures and strategies that will provide representation and mutual connection that will support us all in fulfilling our shared vision of the growth of compassionate giving, joy, and nonviolence in the world.<br /> <br /> We welcome your feedback about what support you would like in building your community, or in healing any lack of connection currently for you in connecting with CNVC or others practicing NVC in your community.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight,<br /> <br /> Jori and Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===EINLADUNG===<br /> <br /> Liebe Gemeinschaft in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation,<br /> <br /> Wir laden euch alle ein, darüber nachzudenken, in welcher Art ihr verbunden sein wollt mit Menschen, die die Gewaltfreie Kommunikation leben, sowohl in eurer Region und auch in einem weiter gefassten Rahmen der NVC-Gemeinschaft.<br /> Möchtet ihr zu dieser Verbundenheit beitragen?<br /> <br /> Als soziokratisch gewählte Leiter des neu eingerichteten GCC (Weltweiter Koordinierungsrat), der die Arbeit der NVC-Gemeinschaften weltweit koordinieren soll, bin ich froh darüber, dass Jim und ich zusammenarbeiten werden, um die Verbundenheit zu unterstützen, die zu einem Wachsen des Bewusstseins für gewaltfreie Kommunikation beiträgt und dadurch die globale soziale Transformation vorantreibt.<br /> <br /> Wir haben den Willen, an der Erfüllung unserer Vision zu arbeiten, Teams in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation in jedem Land der Welt zu haben. Wir werden unterstützend beim Aufbau von Teams mitwirken in Gegenden, wo noch keine existieren. Dabei werden wir die Verbindung zu den Teams unterstützen, die es bereits gibt und von ihnen lernen. Dies ist eine der Hauptaufgaben für das CNVC, wie wir auf dem letzten Board Meeting herausgefunden haben.<br /> <br /> In Laufe dieses Monats werden wir uns mit den kürzlich von den bereits arbeitenden Kreisen aufgestellten Repräsentanten treffen, um Strukturen und Strategien zu untersuchen, die eine Repräsentation und gegenseitige Verbindung leisten können. <br /> Von dieser Repräsentation und gegenseitigen Verbindung erhoffen wir uns eine breite Unterstützung, um diese uns gemeinsame Vision von wachsendem Mitgefühl, Geben und Nehmen von Herzen, Freude und Gewaltfreiheit in der Welt, mehr und mehr ins Leben holen zu können.<br /> <br /> Wir freuen uns über Rückmeldungen, welche Art von Unterstützung ihr braucht, um eure Gemeinschaft aufzubauen oder eine momentan fehlende Verbindung zu heilen, und um euch mit dem CNVC und anderen &quot;gewaltfrei&quot; Aktiven in eurer Gemeinschaft zu verbinden.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight, (Etwa: Mit Wärme und Freude)<br /> <br /> Jori und Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===L'INVITATION===<br /> <br /> Cher(chère) membre de la Communauté CNV,<br /> <br /> Ce message est une invitation à réfléchir à la manière dont vous souhaiteriez être reliés aux autres personnes pratiquant la CNV dans votre région ou, plus largement, dans le monde. Voulez-vous contribuer à la mise en place de liens entre nous?<br /> <br /> Jim et moi avons été élus sociocratiquement directeurs du nouveau Cercle Général de Coordination chargé de coordonner les communautés CNV de par le monde. Je me réjouis de nous voir travailler ensemble au service d'une telle mise en lien qui, grâce à la conscience CNV, contribuera au changement social dans le monde. Nous nous sommes engagés à réaliser la vision consistant à mettre en place des équipes CNV dans tous les pays du monde. Nous aiderons à la création d'équipes dans les régions où elles sont inexistantes. Nous nous inspirerons et encouragerons les liens déjà établis entre les groupes CNV existants. Il s'agit d'une des missions principales confiées au Centre pour la CNV lors de la dernière réunion du Board.<br /> <br /> Dans le courant de ce mois, nous rencontrerons les représentants préalablement désignés par les cercles existants afin d'explorer les structures et les stratégies propres à assurer la représentation et le niveau d'échange qui nous aideront tous à réaliser notre vision commune: voir la bienveillance, la joie et la non-violence grandir dans le monde.<br /> <br /> Nous serions ravis de savoir comment nous pouvons vous aider à créer votre communauté ou à remédier à un éventuel manque d'échange avec le Centre pour la CNV ou avec d'autres personnes pratiquant la CNV autour de vous. <br /> <br /> Très chaleureusement, au plaisir de vous lire,<br /> <br /> Jori et Jim<br /> <br /> nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===INVITACION===<br /> <br /> Estimada Comunidad,<br /> <br /> Los invitamos a que consideren la forma en que quisieran estar ligados a las otras personas practicantes de la Comunicación No Violenta en su área local y en la comunidad más amplia de CNV. Les gustaría contribuir con esta conectividad?<br /> <br /> Como líderes sociocraticamente elegidos de la nueva GCC para la coordinación de las comunidades CNV en todo el mundo, estoy complacido de que Jim y yo estemos trabajando para apoyar la conectividad que podría fortalecer la transformación social a través del crecimiento de conciencia de la CNV.<br /> <br /> Estamos comprometidos con alcanzar nuestra visión de tener equipos de CNV en cada país del mundo. Estaremos trabajando para ayudar a crear nuevos equipos de trabajo en áreas donde éstos no existen y, por otro lado, aprender y apoyar la conexión con los grupos existentes. Esta es una de las áreas de mayor funcionalidad identificadas por el CCNV en su más reciente reunión de junta directiva. <br /> <br /> Nos estaremos reuniendo a fin de mes con los representantes nominados anteriormente por los círculos existentes con el fin de explorar las estructuras y las estrategias que proveerán la conexión y representación mutua que nos ayudarían a alcanzar una mayor visión de expansión de la alegría, el dar compasivamente y la no violencia en el mundo.<br /> <br /> Aceptamos cualquier sugerencia o recomendación de la forma en que le gustaría recibir nuestro apoyo para la creación, el fortalecimiento de su comunidad o bien cualquier impedimento de comunicación con el CCNV. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Con cariño y felicidad, <br /> <br /> Jori y Jim Manske nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ==FUNCTIONS OF THE GCC==<br /> The GCC functions include contributing to support and connection throughout the CNVC network, sustaining existing circles and helping to cultivate new circles. We have a goal of having an NVC team in every<br /> country of the world by 2017. Our aspiration is that the GCC and these teams will live the process of NVC as fully as possible.<br /> <br /> The GCC, like all the circles, is both an autonomous and interdependent entity empowered with determining and implementing strategies to fulfill its functionality within mutually determined guidelines. It will be linked to the decision-making in the Leadership Team through membership of its functional leaders and representatives.<br /> <br /> As part of a sociocratic system, communication and power will be both &quot;top down&quot; and &quot;bottom up&quot;. The GCC is one of a few &quot;top level&quot; circles of the LT and the functional leader(s) of the GCC are thus members of the LT which is responsible for the overall functioning of the organizations day-to-day business. Eventually, there will be an elected representative from the GCC as well that will sit on the LT, fulfilling the aspiration of double-linking.<br /> <br /> We hope to have a GCC representative on the LT by the end of 2007. This will require clarity about the structure of the GCC which we are currently working on.<br /> <br /> The leaders of the GCC are Jim and Jori Manske, elected sociocratically by the LT in October, 2006. To communicate via email with Jim and Jori, send mail to nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com; Jim's Skype name is jimjori; Jori's Skype name is jorijim.<br /> <br /> =GCC CONTACT WITH CIRCLES=<br /> =='''South and East Asia/Oceania Circle'''==<br /> ===Minutes of meeting with SEA&amp;O, 3 November 2006===<br /> Hi everyone<br /> <br /> These notes have been posted on our yahoo group as well. If anyone present at the meeting is unhappy with how I have recorded an aspect of the meeting please do let me know. I I have omitted anyone in the apologies please also let me know.<br /> <br /> with care,<br /> Linda<br /> <br /> Minutes for extra-ordinary meeting of SEA&amp;O November 3, 2006<br /> <br /> Present: Linda Rysenbry, Liz Gay, Cate Crombie (initially), Cherie Scott Jim &amp; Jori Manske<br /> <br /> Apologies: Shari Macree, Dorset Campbell Ross, Chris Rajendram, Ron Ngata<br /> <br /> Checking-in:<br /> Linda – Grateful for Liz’s impulse for this meeting and grateful for Jori and Jim’s enthusiasm to get together.<br /> Liz – Hopeful of getting clarity and understanding and looking forward to the call<br /> Cherie – grateful to have managed to get on to the call by phone and happy to be here<br /> Jim – Enjoys community and remembering recently assisting another group in establishing connection and a circle and looking forward to contributing to SEA&amp;O and others. Contributing to community is the ‘juice’ he enjoys.<br /> Jori – met Jim in community and is looking forward to an increase in connection in the Network. Sees the power of creation is in connections we make. Celebrating the restructuring designed in Atlanta is based on functionality rather than geography and therefore more in alignment with sociocracy.<br /> <br /> Exchange around the intention of the meeting during which Jori – expressed intention for the meeting to be about connecting and then seeing how we decide to remain connected ongoingly and Liz – expressed desire for answers to questions she had about the output of the Atlanta meeting.<br /> <br /> Through questions and discussion we:<br /> <br /> · looked at the minutes from Atlanta – in particular the new structure – http://en.nvcwiki.com/images/Minutes_Addendum_v3.pdf<br /> <br /> Jori clarified that the structure is intended and agreements have been made, that support freedom to act by individuals who fulfil leadership roles eg. The Network managers Jim &amp; Jori and Marshall &amp; Valentina in their leadership roles, in circumstances that are extraordinary have the prior agreement of the team/GCC to take action as they see fit.<br /> <br /> Liz sought clarifications and received empathy<br /> <br /> Cherie – expressed that it matters very much to her HOW things are actioned. And not knowing details felt concerned about HOW actions had been taken regarding Liz gay’s membership Of the GCC.<br /> <br /> Jim and Jori shared personal mourning in connection to the above.<br /> <br /> Linda – acknowledged Jori’s personal mourning and expressed desire to hear a collective expression from the GCC (if it was true for them) of mourning. Feeling concerned about there being a ‘group’ that made the decision and now not having a sense of connection to the ‘group’. Empathy around fears connected to groups acting in a way which individuals later have misgivings about. Accepting that all were doing their best at the time; needing safety and to know that something has been harvested that might support us not repeating this.<br /> <br /> Jori – expressed her personal harvest relating to having not taken action when she heard one more word than she would enjoy to hear. Enquired as to whether Linda would enjoy to contact all the GCC members and hear their harvest.<br /> <br /> Checking out<br /> <br /> Cherie – Glad to have taken the time to be present on the call and appreciating the connection having been heard.<br /> <br /> Jim – Pleased with what was accomplished and sensing that we are part way toward where we want to be. Looking forward to the next part. Proposed another meeting be scheduled – all agreed.<br /> <br /> Linda – Feeling light and very happy to have connected to need for harvesting and learning.

Resources are developed to enable NVC teams to begin and sustain their projects. Teams will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.'''<br /> <br /> An NVC Project Team is composed of at least one CNVC certified trainer and one CNVC supporter with a common aim which is in harmony with the vision of CNVC. Each team develops its own mission and aim(s) inclusively inviting interested community members to participate within their circle. Teams operate with autonomy to fulfill their goals while working interdependently within the guidelines and policies of CNVC. Teams are connected to support mutual learning.<br /> <br /> Individual members of teams cultivate an ever-increasing ability to &quot;live the process&quot; of Nonviolent Communication. As multiple teams emerge within a given area, they work cooperatively together to build life-affirming systems of mutual support, focusing on the vision and mission of CNVC.<br /> <br /> =News=<br /> <br /> == '''Notes from Teleconference 27 June 2007== '''<br /> Dear Community,<br /> <br /> Included here is a summary of and link to the minutes of the June '07 GCC teleconference.<br /> <br /> For more information on the topics below go to:<br /> http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p6HBFi7KGIukteb3GyeG0Ig<br /> or listen to the teleconference at:<br /> Playback Number: +1.641.985.5033 Access Code: 297165#<br /> Nmber has been changed to: 641/715-3433<br /> <br /> Summary of minutes:<br /> Attendees:<br /> Members: Jim Manske, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Andy Basu, Kirsten Kristensen (consent to begin 3 month term below)<br /> Regrets: Jori Manske, Dominic Barter<br /> Facilitator: Jim Manske<br /> Notetaker: Glenda Mattinson<br /> Observers: Mair Alight (US-CA), Bjarte Bjorsvik (Norway), Daren de Witt (UK), Jacob Gotwals (US-NM), Mitch Henrion (US-VT), Holly Humphrey (US-OR), Susan Livingston (US-VA), Glenda Mattinson (Toronto), Pierre-Marie (Paris), Dee Soule (US-NM), Yoojin (US-WA); Jeff Brown (US) (joined 1/2 hour after start of call)<br /> <br /> Reports on:<br /> Certification<br /> Germany<br /> CNVC office<br /> GCC structure<br /> <br /> Content:<br /> Next meeting 25 July 2007<br /> Kirsten Kristensen was consented to be member of GCC for &quot;English-speaking&quot; Western circle.<br /> Representatives from existing NVC groups to be invited to a monthly teleconference on self-organizing local and regional groups.<br /> Glenda Mattinson and Mitch Henrion will serve as consultants to the GCC.<br /> Discussion on next steps.<br /> Jim and Jori will meet with each GCC member before the next teleconference for harvesting ideas and developing a plan for next steps.<br /> <br /> Warmly,<br /> Jori Manske<br /> +1.505.344.1305<br /> Global Coordinating Council<br /> The Center for Nonviolent Communication(sm)<br /> www.cnvc.org<br /> <br /> == '''New Google Group for CNVC Global Coordinating Council== '''<br /> We have created a Google group for the use of GCC members and friends.

Jori: Tension wanting acknowledgement of people taking their own responsibility to speak up.<br /> ***Support: translation; space of silence to speak <br /> ***Allow them to make mistakes, e.g., Miki: “It will be awkward but hang in there.” <br /> ***Greater sense of acceptance<br /> ***Example from a training: Allowed a trainer to speak in his own language while others took it even though they did know the language<br /> ***Bob: AA meetings and Co-counseling groups make this possible. Eg. Those maginalized speak first.<br /> ***''How do different cultures create such an environment?''<br /> *Jim: How do you bring people to the open door?<br /> **Dilip: Making it relevant to their context<br /> **Jim: Welcoming: e.g., Potluck to welcome new neighbours<br /> ***''What do other cultures do to welcome relatives, friends, neighbours, strangers?''<br /> **Anjali: Ask for testimonials and personal stories from trainers and practitioners all over the world; make them available to all sharing NVC as well as on the CNVC website. <br /> ***''What kinds of testimonials are relevant and inspiring for different cultures?''<br /> **Dilip: Songs, stories, street theater have been the traditional methods of spreading a message in India<br /> **Anjali: Stories, laughter, fun, play, joy, celebration – all make “it” easier. She is working on the for early childhood<br /> ***''Somehow the line between drawing people to NVC vs. GCC was blurred. Both are important; however, I assume we are focusing on bringing them to GCC open door.'' <br /> ***''Sometimes the open door may need to go to people rather expect people to come to it. For example, informal schools in India are often held where the children are. I can imagine GCC periodically rotating its meeting venues.''<br /> *Jori: Practice NVC and create deeper connections with people<br /> **Bob: “Listening Table at the Farmers’ Market” in Berkeley. <br /> **Ask: “Are you fighting with someone? I am here to listen.”<br /> **People have started their own practice groups after being listened to. <br /> **''Do other communities have such forums? What are they?''<br /> **Jori: Weekly dialogues, which are at present open to trainers. She will consider opening them to the community. Overwhelming!<br /> ***''How do other communities and cultures hold such dialogues?''<br /> *Transform these strategies into questions to inquire how other cultures and communities do it. <br /> **Inquire vial email, e-groups, … <br /> **Pose them to your neighbours, friends, …<br /> **''Pose them to people working at the grassroots level as Alison, Fabiola, and Jenny have suggested. Request them to suggest their own strategies.<br /> *Dilip: Doubts about walking through the open door:<br /> **Do I belong there?''<br /> **Will I understand them? Will they understand me?<br /> **''Only English is spoken there and I do not know English<br /> **I am not sure whether I understand enough to contribute<br /> **Will they listen? If they listen, will they act on it?''<br /> *Anjali: Book written by her mother: “Cultures of the World” for school children<br /> *Mercedes: How do we ensure that the results of the teleconference would be acted upon?<br /> *Dilip: How do we connect in between teleconferences? <br /> **Jim will create a e-group on Google. Send email to NVCTrainer@gmail.com<br /> **''Would like to be better prepared.'' <br /> **''The work begins now; we have only taken a first step. How do we work on this issue in between teleconferences?''<br /> **''t is not possible for everyone in India to participate in these conferences regularly. Costs can be a barrier. We need to make alternate arrangements to confer and get contributions from people.'' <br /> *''Assumptions we make about life and cultures are sometimes deep rooted and subconscious. Example: “In India, people will use Hindi or English.” Sometimes it requires being immersed in the culture.'' <br /> *''GCC and Translation: Imagine that a certified trainer, with the ability to connect with many many people in her country, walked through that open door of GCC. Suppose that she did not know English or any of the other European languages. How would GCC welcome and support her? For example, would GCC be willing to have online translations to have her included or would it still carry on in English?'' <br /> **''I can imagine non-European-language speakers being members and facilitators of GCC. <br /> **''If GCC wants a project in every country, can it afford to connect to project leaders/members only through intermediaries? Risks are enormous as demonstrated by many NGOs in India.'' <br /> **''The language issue has been described very well by Alison, Fabiola, and Jenny.''<br /> <br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 4 April 2007==<br /> Start 1500 GMT, 5pm Paris, 8am US PT, 9:30pm Pune, 5am NZ<br /> <br /> '''ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS'''<br /> *Members: Jim, Jori, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Andy Basu <br /> **note: Dominic Barter, proposed member, was with us for a short time.

CONSENT<br /> <br /> '''CONTENT'''<br /> <br /> *'''LT Report''':<br /> **CNVC moving to Albuquerque; opening for buisness May 7, 2007.<br /> **Suspension of Certification Assessments; Rita reported that the Certification team was &quot;pulling back to look at the whole picture&quot;, that several questions need to be addressed, and that the &quot;bottom line is gaining clarity on the relationship between the Certification Team and Marshall.&quot; She added, &quot;My view is that we were stuck for a long time; now we are letting go of old structures in order to re-create the new...this can be very healthy...in a way, it is fulfilling a dream for me.&quot; <br /> *'''GCC Report''':<br /> **Web-based presentation of structure of CNVC in progress<br /> **Map and census of all existing circles in progress<br /> **&quot;Registration of Circles&quot; plan being designed with CNVC Information Technology leader; web-based plan to dynamically update circles, teams, etc. on CNVC's new website.<br /> *'''African NVC Circle''':<br /> Anne reported that the seed of a new African circle was recently planted by two African trainers currently living in Belgium: Jean-Baptiste Ndikuriyo and Pierre Muanda Ngoma. (Note: Jim will send an email of connection to Jean-Baptiste and Pierre by way of Anne to ensure clarity of translation.) <br /> Dunia has been informed and has &quot;sent his blessings.&quot;<br /> *'''Request for Committee of Inclusion''' (Jim)<br /> **Following on the issues raised at the March meeting of the GCC, Jim offered the following:<br /> **Seeking 2-5 volunteers to form a circle with the aim of solving<br /> the puzzle of inclusion<br /> **Request circle to meet at least once before next GCC and report on<br /> progress toward clarifying the aim and next steps<br /> **A round, including all observers included the following issues:<br /> &quot;prefer non-exclusivity to inclusion-indicates the door is open&quot;&quot;likes the idea-a way to get the GCC more common to everyone&quot;<br /> &quot;appreciate the ideas of others, finding value in that.&quot;<br /> &quot;make sure it is not distinct from the GCC.&quot;<br /> &quot;concerned that the issue be dealt with by the central circle&quot;<br /> &quot;interested and grateful&quot;<br /> &quot;not easy to connect with people in Africa (technology wise)&quot;<br /> &quot;important to get a true representation&quot;<br /> &quot;gratitude for Dunia opening the door to Africa&quot;<br /> <br /> ***'''PROPOSAL''': The GCC will form a committee of non-exclusivity, to help foster the understanding that &quot;our door is open&quot;. Jim will facilitate formation of the committee. CONSENT<br /> Note: Jim agreed to send Dunia an email and to invite folks on the call to participate with the committee.<br /> **'''Structural picture forming''' (Jori)<br /> Jori expressed the dilemma faced by the GCC in working out a structure that facilitates ease of communication~language vs. geography. She sees the power pf language as a CONTACT POINT. She asked for reactions from members:<br /> ***Andy: the joy of sharing in English mixed witht he sadness of being unable to express fully in my mother tongue.<br /> ***Eva: for many it is easier to speak from the heart in English, free from the habits of native language.<br /> ***Anne: wondering how we can make that happen-language is not the only problem. Let's try and see what happens<br /> ***Jori invites email connection from all to explore further. nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> **'''Proposal from the Nordic Baltic Circle''' (Kirsten)<br /> Just had second meeting of NB Circle-lots of connection and enthusiasm! Would like the Eastern Europeans to decide for themselves how to link to the GCC; also wanted to express unity of all Europe and invite to join through the English-speaking &quot;western&quot; link to the GCC.<br /> ***Reactions:<br /> ****Eva: very touched with what she hears. Will ask Eastern European network for feedback. Would personally prefer to connect through English-speaking &quot;other&quot; to GCC. No clear on what it means on a practical level. Working on a different image of the structure. Many Eastern countries need financial support.<br /> ****Jori: touched; likes linking Eastern and Western Europe. Unclear about practical; need for economic balance.<br /> ****Anne: celebration that people are gathering and building community; puzzled; not sure about best strategy for connection<br /> ****Laura: really like the care and appreciate the invitation. all positive reactions.<br /> ***Jim agreed to post the invitation in the minutes: &quot;The Nordic Baltic circle would like to have the Eastern Europe Circle be double linked to the English<br /> Western Circle, because we see us all as Europe, and many of the<br /> countries are members of the EU, and both circles speak English.&quot;<br /> **'''Structure proposal''' (Eva)<br /> ***I would like to send out an invitation: each local circle are<br /> welcome to choose a representative to the GCC. These people would be<br /> voting members of GCC. If the number goes above 10 we would<br /> reorganize ourselves. I believe 10 is the maximum number for an<br /> effective phone conference.<br /> ***Jori's reactions: worried about personal agendas; need for global vision; wants equal access to GCC but not necessaily voting members. <br /> PROPOSAL: Table agenda item and sit with it- Send any suggestions for reformulation to Eva eva@rambala.hu CONSENT<br /> <br /> <br /> CLOSING ROUND <br /> *Cathy: grateful to connect back in with the community glad to be a part. look forward to more.<br /> *Alison: warmed; very happy with sense of more possibilities for inclusion with GCC and contributing.<br /> *Fabiola: (via Jenny) feeling disappointed about the balance towad Administrative issues; annoyed, wanting respect<br /> *Jenny: Heavy heart; despairing; wanting ways of working and communicating with rest of world; not confident in present strategy. this is a big crisis for me. would like more opportunity for a say and a vote, to find ways to hear, understand, and address fully.<br /> *Isabelle: concerned about structure; would like more preparation on agenda items. would like to offer reports to be read before meeting and then have oppoprtunity for clarification. I miss the upward links. mixed feelings.<br /> *Markus: torn; very grateful to hear the voices and how you facilitate; would have liked more time to discuss Eva's proposals. Triggered about &quot;personal agenda, global perspective&quot; comment. Sad about that.<br /> *Laura: energized; mixed feelngs hearing some of the fedback. One of the the most alive conference calls; i liked going with the life!<br /> *Kirsten: Felt very good when closing round began; now I feel concerrn. Really enjoyed what we have been doing. Would like focus on a double link between circles. I don't know what to say about not being involved. I'm not experiencing a lack of connection. I would welcome people taking responsisbility for making connection. I have so much to say but will stop now.<br /> *Jerry: enjoying the sense that what people want is connection. see very different strategies. would like to see the structure built.<br /> *Andy: grateful for the time t set up and participate in the meeting. excited, still have &quot;sweaty hands&quot; about getting involved.

Le chaos peut être très sain. Nous avons tant besoin de ce qui est en cours d’émergence… Nous cherchons des chemins plus au service de la Vie et plus sains. »<br /> <br /> Cette suspension des certifications a été mise au service d’une réflexion proposée à toutes les personnes faisant partie de l’équipe internationale de certification (personnes chargées de l’évaluation des candidats ainsi que coordinateurs/trices de la certification). Le réseau francophone a transmis ses réflexions à Marshall, Valentina et à l’équipe de certification.<br /> <br /> Nomination d’un nouveau représentant au GCC<br /> <br /> Andreas Basu est élu comme représentant du réseau germanophone.<br /> Avant de dire oui à son élection, il est vérifié qu’Isolde et les autres personnes qui viennent de proposer la création d’un centre européen seront prises en compte. Andreas est proche d’Isolde (certificatrice germanophone) et a signifié son intention de rester en contact et en dialogue avec elle et les autres signataires de cette proposition, ceci de concert avec Jori et Jim, pour une poursuite de l’échange et une écoute des souffrances qui ont été au point de départ de leur initiative.<br /> <br /> Le réseau en Allemagne connaît une période d’agitation, Markus Sikor (coordinateur de la certification en Allemagne) espère que ce chaos va permettre au réseau germanophone d’émerger dans une énergie différente, dans une énergie au service de la Vie.<br /> <br /> Création du cercle africain<br /> <br /> Le GCC est en questionnement concernant l’accès aux infos de certains pays ou régions ou personnes dans le monde. Trois personnes d’expression anglaise (Alison, Jenny et Fabiola) avaient exprimé leur inquiétude à ce sujet lors de la réunion téléphonique précédente et par des courriels très élaborés au GCC. Elles aimeraient être rassurées que le GCC démarre son fonctionnement en incluant dès le début des représentants des pays moins favorisés sur le plan économique.<br /> <br /> Anne fait part de la création toute récente d’un premier cercle africain, dont Pierre Muanda Ngoma est le 1er lien et Jean-Baptiste Ndikuriyo le 2e lien. Elle ajoute que Dunia Hategekimana, coordinateur des projets africains, a été informé et a donné sa bénédiction aux personnes en question. Jenny fait part de son regret de ne pas voir Dunia invité à faire partie du GCC, alors qu’il pourrait y être une personne ressource. Jim se promet de prendre contact rapidement avec lui.<br /> <br /> Invitation de chacun à rejoindre le GCC<br /> <br /> Eva Rambala propose que n’importe quel cercle existant qui en aurait le goût puisse envoyer un représentant au GCC. Quitte à gérer le chaos ensuite, si plus de dix représentants apparaissaient en peu de temps ! Des craintes sont émises par la plupart des autres membres du GCC. Finalement, la décision est prise de constituer une ‘commission d’inclusion, ou de non exclusion’, pour favoriser la reliance au GCC autrement qu’aujourd’hui.

I'm feeling a mixture of gratitude, inspiration, frustration and regret. The regret is around a typo in the Participant Access number in the email invitation that was sent. The number on the wiki was correct. I remain puzzled as to how this happened since I thought I copied from one to the other.<br /> <br /> *Present on the call today were:<br /> **Linda Rysenbry, SEA&amp;O temporary representative, Sydney, Australia<br /> **Ann Bouritt, French Circle, Geneva, Switzerland<br /> **Jeff Brown, ENACC representative, St. Louis, USA<br /> **Jan, Observer, Idaho, USA<br /> **Jerry Koch-Gonzales, Observer, Massachusetts, USA<br /> **Laura Liliom, Eastern European Circle, Budapest, Hungary<br /> **Chris Rajendram, Sri Lanka<br /> **Kirsten Kristensen, Nordic/Baltic Circle, Denmark, from the Canary Islands<br /> **Jim Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> **Jori Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> <br /> *Regrets: <br /> **Dominic Barter, Brazil, communicated via email, appended to bottom of report<br /> **Ron Ngata, New Zealand, couldn't connect because of typo :(<br /> **Eva Rambala<br /> **Kumarjeev<br /> **Aniruddha<br /> <br /> *Following check-in, we handled the following consent items:<br /> **a. Jori as meeting facilitator today; consent<br /> **b. Jim as notetaker today; consent<br /> **c. Jim and Jori as functional leaders of GCC for one year; consent<br /> **d. Aim of GCC; consent, with addition of &quot;groups will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.&quot;<br /> **e. Nonviolent governance utilizing consent, feedback, linking. consent<br /> **f. Participants on the call today are the initial planning team for today. consent, after clarifying discussion of balance and equality and term of this meeting.<br /> <br /> **Additionally there was consent that the observers could act as full participants for today's meeting.<br /> <br /> {Note on sociocratic consent-generally in sociocracy, if a person does not attend a meeting, their consent is implied. Inclusion is protected because any item consented at one meeting can be brought back up for consideration at a future meeting by anyone withdrawing consent to that item. Thus, Dom's lack of consent, via email, to some agenda items can be re-visited at the next meeting. -Jim}<br /> <br /> *Following the consent round, we began exploring the issues around the systems and structures that could best support the aim of the GCC. Jori shared some ideas that she and Jim generated than asked for responses: <br /> <br /> **What is the GCC? The GCC is a circle that links to the Leadeship Team and the Network; it is a policy building circle focusing on network connections; the policies being tested at both the LT and the network level.<br /> <br /> **We suggest starting with a planning team, initially seeking those in the network who have built successful projects; that are willing to work together to create templates in support of new projects being formed as a vehicle for mutual learning.<br /> <br /> *Main issues identified by the group to consider:<br /> **How to bring the GCC to concrete form<br /> **Wondering about languages, navigating the differences<br /> **Different ways of passing information through the network<br /> **The size of the GCC &quot;body&quot; <br /> **How many levels/layers could be required<br /> **How to determine the makeup of the GCC to best serve the needs of the network<br /> **Managing the number of people involved in a given meeting/call<br /> **How to deal with time zone differences spanning the globe<br /> **Clarifying the relationship of the LT and the GCC<br /> **How to balance including &quot;successful team leaders&quot; with representation from &quot;new countries that have not yet had a successful project&quot;.<br /> **Acknowledging the need for both appointed and elected members of the GCC<br /> **Acknowledgment of financial cost of involvement, wondering about support for those with less resources.<br /> **The need for the system to acknowledge both language differences and geographic differences<br /> <br /> *At this point Jori shared some ideas she and Jim had been discussing for beginning with a system that consisted of four language groups. <br /> **These languages are spoken in virtually every country of the world either as a primary or secondary language. The example is India, where there are many languages, united by a common language of English. In Vietnam, many speak both Vietnamese and French.<br /> **Each of the four languages would have an appointed leader on the GCC and also an elected representative; thus the GCC would be composed of at least 10 people, including Jori and Jim.<br /> **(French, German, English, Spanish/Portuguese/Italian [Romance languages other than French])<br /> <br /> *Reactions:<br /> **Excitement about focusing on 4 language groups that cover virtually every country as a starting place <br /> **Need to Consider translation and interpretation strategies<br /> **Utilize written word for clarity, ease of interpretation, and spanning time zones, eg Dom's ideas around &quot;soc-e-ocracy&quot;.<br /> **Suggest keep circle size of 12 or less<br /> **Some worry about difficulty between understanding in Sp/Portuguese circle<br /> **Some worry that language differences can stimulate conflict...<br /> **Some concern that language is subsidiary to geography...how to deal with people who share geography but not language, eg Quebec<br /> **Some concern for maintaining geographic representation for policy roles and appreciation for the simplicity of language groups<br /> **Concern for maintaining global awareness<br /> **Geography &quot;primary&quot; over language for global overview and local connection?<br /> **Wants A GCC small enough to function yet insures inclusion through connection to the larger network<br /> <br /> <br /> Closing Round:<br /> <br /> Linda: Glad to be a part of the call; values being aware and connected to some of the issues; enjoyed picture-making; looking for clarity re planning team and gcc; seeing important to begin with knowledge things will be refined/changed.<br /> <br /> Ann: In touch with the complexity of the matter, enriched by reactions of others; our experience in the French speaking circle is that the more organized we get, the more we see people from other areas wanting to connect and get in touch; its important to focus on starting, not focus as much on the how of starting; grateful for presence of everyone and for Jori's facilitation.<br /> <br /> Jeff: Energized, excited, glad that Kirsten and Chris could join the call; excited about the potential to get people connected; the most excitement about organizing by language; could facilitate cross-cultural connection if we were to organize it that way; happy we're having the conversation and moving forward; deep trust in the NVC process and that whatever we come up with will serve the network.<br /> <br /> Jan: Admiring and celebrating willingness to hold and consider issues; more aware now of the complexity; grateful; hopeful; beginning is important-to try something and have a &quot;reconsideration point&quot; chosen to check in if &quot;it&quot; is working.<br /> <br /> Jerry: Pleased with care and consideration and some sense of motion; enjoyed inclusion of observers; concerned about inclusion of observers for efficiency of future meetings; not clear yet on who holds decision-making responsibility.<br /> <br /> Laura: (No check-out, lost connection?)Oh, I got kicked off at the end closing round.<br /> But I would like to then give final feedback by email:<br /> <br /> I enjoyed being part of our call very much, I am at this moment suppressed by the weight of the complexity of this task that is ahead of us now, and also would like to thank Jori for this – to me – wonderful facilitation. I feel a deep appreciation to her facilitation talent and skills. I am really impressed.<br /> <br /> I felt the conference call was efficient, although we did not cover the whole agenda.<br /> I celebrate that I was able to be part of this call now and was able to help one person to join the call and also that I had this time to connect with NVC people from all around the world.<br /> <br /> Kirsten: (No check-out, lost connection?)<br /> <br /> Chris: Enjoyed joining even if late; I understand now what was blocking me from the conversation-we are killing each other (in Sri Lanka) because of the language. I'd like another way of uniting us and getting a central circle functioning; more clarity; grateful for inclusion; glad to have heard voices.<br /> <br /> Jori: Like the increased creativity and grateful for all the feedback<br /> <br /> Jim: Excited about the connection; regret about the typo that may have prevented Ron, Eva, Aniruddha, and Kumarjeev from participating and delayed Chris' connection; grateful to have the support of the folks who participated today; moving closer to clarity about structure and systemic issues; hungry for feedback about other picture forming agenda item; suggest we try using email and the wiki to explore it.<br /> <br /> Meeting was closed after 2 hours.<br /> <br /> ==Request from the notetaker:==<br /> I'd like to invite folks to edit their closing round comments for clarity and brevity. I'd also enjoy you clarifying any issues in the picture-forming if they do not reflect your thoughts, feelings, or needs, or if fresh insights arise. My preference is that you use the wiki; if you are not yet comfortable with the wiki, you can email me your edits and I will edit for you.<br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted with joy and gratitude,<br /> <br /> Jim Manske<br /> nvctrainer@gmail.com<br /> <br /> (PS Additions receeived via email from Dominic Barter are below)<br /> <br /> Dear all,<br /> <br /> I am disappointed to miss this meeting, as I already had teaching activities planned for this time. <br /> <br /> I am eager to connect with you all and test the decision making abilities of this group configured in this way. I continue to experience much energy for co-creating CNVC, after almost 4 years of participation in committees and meetings of this sort, tempered by many, growing doubts about the directions taken during this time.<br /> <br /> One of them is the lack of any current mechanism for participating except by being present at this call, something I imagine many - of not all - of us will experience at some point. So, with this e-mail, I hope to create such a mechanism:<br /> <br /> Please see - and voice/include/consider and respond - to the comments I make after each item.<br /> <br /> Please also add to the agenda discussion on the development of a time-scale for selecting meeting agendas (how many days before a meeting they are proposed, how each participant may contribute to them (wiki, etc.)).<br /> <br /> Or - why not? - let me know if this would not be fun.<br /> <br /> <br /> On 27 Nov 2006, at 16:44, Jim Manske wrote:<br /> <br /> Time: 1300 UT/GMT, 8 am US EST, 2pm Central Europe Time (CET), 6:30pm India Time<br /> <br /> Please canvass the time zones we are all mostly in most of the time and include all at th top of each agenda.<br /> <br /> Please propose a way for making participation relatively equally economically viable for all participants (can CNVC provide the Skype credits for those living in high cost phone countries to dial in this way?

Would you like to contribute to this connectivity?<br /> <br /> As sociocratically selected leaders of the new GCC for the coordination of NVC communities worldwide, I am delighted that Jim and I will working together to support the connectivity that could fuel global social transformation through the growth of NVC consciousness. We are committed to the fulfillment of the vision of having NVC teams in every country in the world. We will be working to help build teams in areas that do not have them, and learning from and supporting connection with existing NVC groups. This is one of the major areas of functionality identified for CNVC at the recent Board meeting.<br /> <br /> We will be meeting later this month with the representatives previously nominated by existing circles to explore the structures and strategies that will provide representation and mutual connection that will support us all in fulfilling our shared vision of the growth of compassionate giving, joy, and nonviolence in the world.<br /> <br /> We welcome your feedback about what support you would like in building your community, or in healing any lack of connection currently for you in connecting with CNVC or others practicing NVC in your community.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight,<br /> <br /> Jori and Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===EINLADUNG===<br /> <br /> Liebe Gemeinschaft in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation,<br /> <br /> Wir laden euch alle ein, darüber nachzudenken, in welcher Art ihr verbunden sein wollt mit Menschen, die die Gewaltfreie Kommunikation leben, sowohl in eurer Region und auch in einem weiter gefassten Rahmen der NVC-Gemeinschaft.<br /> Möchtet ihr zu dieser Verbundenheit beitragen?<br /> <br /> Als soziokratisch gewählte Leiter des neu eingerichteten GCC (Weltweiter Koordinierungsrat), der die Arbeit der NVC-Gemeinschaften weltweit koordinieren soll, bin ich froh darüber, dass Jim und ich zusammenarbeiten werden, um die Verbundenheit zu unterstützen, die zu einem Wachsen des Bewusstseins für gewaltfreie Kommunikation beiträgt und dadurch die globale soziale Transformation vorantreibt.<br /> <br /> Wir haben den Willen, an der Erfüllung unserer Vision zu arbeiten, Teams in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation in jedem Land der Welt zu haben. Wir werden unterstützend beim Aufbau von Teams mitwirken in Gegenden, wo noch keine existieren. Dabei werden wir die Verbindung zu den Teams unterstützen, die es bereits gibt und von ihnen lernen. Dies ist eine der Hauptaufgaben für das CNVC, wie wir auf dem letzten Board Meeting herausgefunden haben.<br /> <br /> In Laufe dieses Monats werden wir uns mit den kürzlich von den bereits arbeitenden Kreisen aufgestellten Repräsentanten treffen, um Strukturen und Strategien zu untersuchen, die eine Repräsentation und gegenseitige Verbindung leisten können. <br /> Von dieser Repräsentation und gegenseitigen Verbindung erhoffen wir uns eine breite Unterstützung, um diese uns gemeinsame Vision von wachsendem Mitgefühl, Geben und Nehmen von Herzen, Freude und Gewaltfreiheit in der Welt, mehr und mehr ins Leben holen zu können.<br /> <br /> Wir freuen uns über Rückmeldungen, welche Art von Unterstützung ihr braucht, um eure Gemeinschaft aufzubauen oder eine momentan fehlende Verbindung zu heilen, und um euch mit dem CNVC und anderen &quot;gewaltfrei&quot; Aktiven in eurer Gemeinschaft zu verbinden.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight, (Etwa: Mit Wärme und Freude)<br /> <br /> Jori und Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===L'INVITATION===<br /> <br /> Cher(chère) membre de la Communauté CNV,<br /> <br /> Ce message est une invitation à réfléchir à la manière dont vous souhaiteriez être reliés aux autres personnes pratiquant la CNV dans votre région ou, plus largement, dans le monde. Voulez-vous contribuer à la mise en place de liens entre nous?<br /> <br /> Jim et moi avons été élus sociocratiquement directeurs du nouveau Cercle Général de Coordination chargé de coordonner les communautés CNV de par le monde. Je me réjouis de nous voir travailler ensemble au service d'une telle mise en lien qui, grâce à la conscience CNV, contribuera au changement social dans le monde. Nous nous sommes engagés à réaliser la vision consistant à mettre en place des équipes CNV dans tous les pays du monde. Nous aiderons à la création d'équipes dans les régions où elles sont inexistantes. Nous nous inspirerons et encouragerons les liens déjà établis entre les groupes CNV existants. Il s'agit d'une des missions principales confiées au Centre pour la CNV lors de la dernière réunion du Board.<br /> <br /> Dans le courant de ce mois, nous rencontrerons les représentants préalablement désignés par les cercles existants afin d'explorer les structures et les stratégies propres à assurer la représentation et le niveau d'échange qui nous aideront tous à réaliser notre vision commune: voir la bienveillance, la joie et la non-violence grandir dans le monde.<br /> <br /> Nous serions ravis de savoir comment nous pouvons vous aider à créer votre communauté ou à remédier à un éventuel manque d'échange avec le Centre pour la CNV ou avec d'autres personnes pratiquant la CNV autour de vous. <br /> <br /> Très chaleureusement, au plaisir de vous lire,<br /> <br /> Jori et Jim<br /> <br /> nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===INVITACION===<br /> <br /> Estimada Comunidad,<br /> <br /> Los invitamos a que consideren la forma en que quisieran estar ligados a las otras personas practicantes de la Comunicación No Violenta en su área local y en la comunidad más amplia de CNV. Les gustaría contribuir con esta conectividad?<br /> <br /> Como líderes sociocraticamente elegidos de la nueva GCC para la coordinación de las comunidades CNV en todo el mundo, estoy complacido de que Jim y yo estemos trabajando para apoyar la conectividad que podría fortalecer la transformación social a través del crecimiento de conciencia de la CNV.<br /> <br /> Estamos comprometidos con alcanzar nuestra visión de tener equipos de CNV en cada país del mundo. Estaremos trabajando para ayudar a crear nuevos equipos de trabajo en áreas donde éstos no existen y, por otro lado, aprender y apoyar la conexión con los grupos existentes. Esta es una de las áreas de mayor funcionalidad identificadas por el CCNV en su más reciente reunión de junta directiva. <br /> <br /> Nos estaremos reuniendo a fin de mes con los representantes nominados anteriormente por los círculos existentes con el fin de explorar las estructuras y las estrategias que proveerán la conexión y representación mutua que nos ayudarían a alcanzar una mayor visión de expansión de la alegría, el dar compasivamente y la no violencia en el mundo.<br /> <br /> Aceptamos cualquier sugerencia o recomendación de la forma en que le gustaría recibir nuestro apoyo para la creación, el fortalecimiento de su comunidad o bien cualquier impedimento de comunicación con el CCNV. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Con cariño y felicidad, <br /> <br /> Jori y Jim Manske nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ==FUNCTIONS OF THE GCC==<br /> The GCC functions include contributing to support and connection throughout the CNVC network, sustaining existing circles and helping to cultivate new circles. We have a goal of having an NVC team in every<br /> country of the world by 2017. Our aspiration is that the GCC and these teams will live the process of NVC as fully as possible.<br /> <br /> The GCC, like all the circles, is both an autonomous and interdependent entity empowered with determining and implementing strategies to fulfill its functionality within mutually determined guidelines. It will be linked to the decision-making in the Leadership Team through membership of its functional leaders and representatives.<br /> <br /> As part of a sociocratic system, communication and power will be both &quot;top down&quot; and &quot;bottom up&quot;. The GCC is one of a few &quot;top level&quot; circles of the LT and the functional leader(s) of the GCC are thus members of the LT which is responsible for the overall functioning of the organizations day-to-day business. Eventually, there will be an elected representative from the GCC as well that will sit on the LT, fulfilling the aspiration of double-linking.<br /> <br /> We hope to have a GCC representative on the LT by the end of 2007. This will require clarity about the structure of the GCC which we are currently working on.<br /> <br /> The leaders of the GCC are Jim and Jori Manske, elected sociocratically by the LT in October, 2006. To communicate via email with Jim and Jori, send mail to nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com; Jim's Skype name is jimjori; Jori's Skype name is jorijim.<br /> <br /> =GCC CONTACT WITH CIRCLES=<br /> =='''South and East Asia/Oceania Circle'''==<br /> ===Minutes of meeting with SEA&amp;O, 3 November 2006===<br /> Hi everyone<br /> <br /> These notes have been posted on our yahoo group as well. If anyone present at the meeting is unhappy with how I have recorded an aspect of the meeting please do let me know. I I have omitted anyone in the apologies please also let me know.<br /> <br /> with care,<br /> Linda<br /> <br /> Minutes for extra-ordinary meeting of SEA&amp;O November 3, 2006<br /> <br /> Present: Linda Rysenbry, Liz Gay, Cate Crombie (initially), Cherie Scott Jim &amp; Jori Manske<br /> <br /> Apologies: Shari Macree, Dorset Campbell Ross, Chris Rajendram, Ron Ngata<br /> <br /> Checking-in:<br /> Linda – Grateful for Liz’s impulse for this meeting and grateful for Jori and Jim’s enthusiasm to get together.<br /> Liz – Hopeful of getting clarity and understanding and looking forward to the call<br /> Cherie – grateful to have managed to get on to the call by phone and happy to be here<br /> Jim – Enjoys community and remembering recently assisting another group in establishing connection and a circle and looking forward to contributing to SEA&amp;O and others. Contributing to community is the ‘juice’ he enjoys.<br /> Jori – met Jim in community and is looking forward to an increase in connection in the Network. Sees the power of creation is in connections we make. Celebrating the restructuring designed in Atlanta is based on functionality rather than geography and therefore more in alignment with sociocracy.<br /> <br /> Exchange around the intention of the meeting during which Jori – expressed intention for the meeting to be about connecting and then seeing how we decide to remain connected ongoingly and Liz – expressed desire for answers to questions she had about the output of the Atlanta meeting.<br /> <br /> Through questions and discussion we:<br /> <br /> · looked at the minutes from Atlanta – in particular the new structure – http://en.nvcwiki.com/images/Minutes_Addendum_v3.pdf<br /> <br /> Jori clarified that the structure is intended and agreements have been made, that support freedom to act by individuals who fulfil leadership roles eg. The Network managers Jim &amp; Jori and Marshall &amp; Valentina in their leadership roles, in circumstances that are extraordinary have the prior agreement of the team/GCC to take action as they see fit.<br /> <br /> Liz sought clarifications and received empathy<br /> <br /> Cherie – expressed that it matters very much to her HOW things are actioned. And not knowing details felt concerned about HOW actions had been taken regarding Liz gay’s membership Of the GCC.<br /> <br /> Jim and Jori shared personal mourning in connection to the above.<br /> <br /> Linda – acknowledged Jori’s personal mourning and expressed desire to hear a collective expression from the GCC (if it was true for them) of mourning. Feeling concerned about there being a ‘group’ that made the decision and now not having a sense of connection to the ‘group’. Empathy around fears connected to groups acting in a way which individuals later have misgivings about. Accepting that all were doing their best at the time; needing safety and to know that something has been harvested that might support us not repeating this.<br /> <br /> Jori – expressed her personal harvest relating to having not taken action when she heard one more word than she would enjoy to hear. Enquired as to whether Linda would enjoy to contact all the GCC members and hear their harvest.<br /> <br /> Checking out<br /> <br /> Cherie – Glad to have taken the time to be present on the call and appreciating the connection having been heard.<br /> <br /> Jim – Pleased with what was accomplished and sensing that we are part way toward where we want to be. Looking forward to the next part. Proposed another meeting be scheduled – all agreed.<br /> <br /> Linda – Feeling light and very happy to have connected to need for harvesting and learning. Appreciating Jim and Jori having taken on the role of Network managers and looking forward to how we grow from here.<br /> <br /> Liz and Jori remained on the line.<br /> <br /> Next meeting date and time to be forwarded when established.</div>

Teams are connected to support mutual learning.<br /> <br /> Individual members of teams cultivate an ever-increasing ability to &quot;live the process&quot; of Nonviolent Communication. As multiple teams emerge within a given area, they work cooperatively together to build life-affirming systems of mutual support, focusing on the vision and mission of CNVC.<br /> <br /> =News=<br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 4 April 2007==<br /> Start 1500 GMT, 5pm Paris, 8am US PT, 9:30pm Pune, 5am NZ<br /> <br /> '''ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS'''<br /> *Members: Jim, Jori, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Andy Basu <br /> **note: Dominic Barter, proposed member, was with us for a short time.

She sees the power pf language as a CONTACT POINT. She asked for reactions from members:<br /> ***Andy: the joy of sharing in English mixed witht he sadness of being unable to express fully in my mother tongue.<br /> ***Eva: for many it is easier to speak from the heart in English, free from the habits of native language.<br /> ***Anne: wondering how we can make that happen-language is not the only problem.

Will ask Eastern European network for feedback. Would personally prefer to connect through English-speaking &quot;other&quot; to GCC. No clear on what it means on a practical level. Working on a different image of the structure. Many Eastern countries need financial support.<br /> ****Jori: touched; likes linking Eastern and Western Europe.

These people would be<br /> voting members of GCC. If the number goes above 10 we would<br /> reorganize ourselves. I believe 10 is the maximum number for an<br /> effective phone conference.<br /> ***Jori's reactions: worried about personal agendas; need for global vision; wants equal access to GCC but not necessaily voting members. <br /> PROPOSAL: Table agenda item and sit with it- Send any suggestions for reformulation to Eva eva@rambala.hu CONSENT<br /> <br /> <br /> CLOSING ROUND <br /> *Cathy: grateful to connect back in with the community glad to be a part. look forward to more.<br /> *Alison: warmed; very happy with sense of more possibilities for inclusion with GCC and contributing.<br /> *Fabiola: (via Jenny) feeling disappointed about the balance towad Administrative issues; annoyed, wanting respect<br /> *Jenny: Heavy heart; despairing; wanting ways of working and communicating with rest of world; not confident in present strategy. this is a big crisis for me. would like more opportunity for a say and a vote, to find ways to hear, understand, and address fully.<br /> *Isabelle: concerned about structure; would like more preparation on agenda items. would like to offer reports to be read before meeting and then have oppoprtunity for clarification. I miss the upward links. mixed feelings.<br /> *Markus: torn; very grateful to hear the voices and how you facilitate; would have liked more time to discuss Eva's proposals. Triggered about &quot;personal agenda, global perspective&quot; comment. Sad about that.<br /> *Laura: energized; mixed feelngs hearing some of the fedback. One of the the most alive conference calls; i liked going with the life!<br /> *Kirsten: Felt very good when closing round began; now I feel concerrn. Really enjoyed what we have been doing. Would like focus on a double link between circles. I don't know what to say about not being involved. I'm not experiencing a lack of connection. I would welcome people taking responsisbility for making connection. I have so much to say but will stop now.<br /> *Jerry: enjoying the sense that what people want is connection. see very different strategies. would like to see the structure built.<br /> *Andy: grateful for the time t set up and participate in the meeting. excited, still have &quot;sweaty hands&quot; about getting involved.

Le chaos peut être très sain. Nous avons tant besoin de ce qui est en cours d’émergence… Nous cherchons des chemins plus au service de la Vie et plus sains. »<br /> <br /> Cette suspension des certifications a été mise au service d’une réflexion proposée à toutes les personnes faisant partie de l’équipe internationale de certification (personnes chargées de l’évaluation des candidats ainsi que coordinateurs/trices de la certification). Le réseau francophone a transmis ses réflexions à Marshall, Valentina et à l’équipe de certification.<br /> <br /> Nomination d’un nouveau représentant au GCC<br /> <br /> Andreas Basu est élu comme représentant du réseau germanophone.<br /> Avant de dire oui à son élection, il est vérifié qu’Isolde et les autres personnes qui viennent de proposer la création d’un centre européen seront prises en compte. Andreas est proche d’Isolde (certificatrice germanophone) et a signifié son intention de rester en contact et en dialogue avec elle et les autres signataires de cette proposition, ceci de concert avec Jori et Jim, pour une poursuite de l’échange et une écoute des souffrances qui ont été au point de départ de leur initiative.<br /> <br /> Le réseau en Allemagne connaît une période d’agitation, Markus Sikor (coordinateur de la certification en Allemagne) espère que ce chaos va permettre au réseau germanophone d’émerger dans une énergie différente, dans une énergie au service de la Vie.<br /> <br /> Création du cercle africain<br /> <br /> Le GCC est en questionnement concernant l’accès aux infos de certains pays ou régions ou personnes dans le monde. Trois personnes d’expression anglaise (Alison, Jenny et Fabiola) avaient exprimé leur inquiétude à ce sujet lors de la réunion téléphonique précédente et par des courriels très élaborés au GCC. Elles aimeraient être rassurées que le GCC démarre son fonctionnement en incluant dès le début des représentants des pays moins favorisés sur le plan économique.<br /> <br /> Anne fait part de la création toute récente d’un premier cercle africain, dont Pierre Muanda Ngoma est le 1er lien et Jean-Baptiste Ndikuriyo le 2e lien. Elle ajoute que Dunia Hategekimana, coordinateur des projets africains, a été informé et a donné sa bénédiction aux personnes en question. Jenny fait part de son regret de ne pas voir Dunia invité à faire partie du GCC, alors qu’il pourrait y être une personne ressource. Jim se promet de prendre contact rapidement avec lui.<br /> <br /> Invitation de chacun à rejoindre le GCC<br /> <br /> Eva Rambala propose que n’importe quel cercle existant qui en aurait le goût puisse envoyer un représentant au GCC. Quitte à gérer le chaos ensuite, si plus de dix représentants apparaissaient en peu de temps ! Des craintes sont émises par la plupart des autres membres du GCC. Finalement, la décision est prise de constituer une ‘commission d’inclusion, ou de non exclusion’, pour favoriser la reliance au GCC autrement qu’aujourd’hui. Jim en sera le responsable.<br /> <br /> Création d’un nouveau cercle Baltique<br /> <br /> Kirsten Kristensen annonce la création d’un nouveau ‘Cercle Baltique’ composé de personnes du Danemark, de Norvège, de Suède et de Finlande ; ce cercle souhaiterait se relier au GCC via Eva Rambala et ainsi établir des liens privilégiés avec l’Europe de l’Est. Eva se réjouit de la possibilité symbolique de rassemblement des pays aisés avec des pays ayant moins de facilité sur le plan économique. Aucune décision n’est prise pour le moment.<br /> <br /> Temps de célébration<br /> <br /> Le partage final est mitigé.<br /> Certains sont inquiets ou découragés, d’autres remplis d’énergie.<br /> <br /> Pour celles et ceux qui se débrouillent en anglais : on peut trouver un rapport détaillé de chaque rencontre téléphonique (et même un enregistrement audio N° à composer: 001.641.985.5033 Code d'accès: 297165#)<br /> <br /> Rapport rédigé par Anne Bourrit et Martine Marenne le 10 avril 2007<br /> <br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 7 March 2007==<br /> <br /> AGENDA:<br /> <br /> Start 1600 GMT, 5pm Paris, 8am US PT, 9:30pm Pune, 5am NZ <br /> <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS<br /> *Attendees: Jim, Jori, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Isabell Peters, Chris Ranjendram, Dominic Barter, Louise Romain, Laura Liliom, Alison Harper, Towe Widstrand, Shantigarbha, Jerry Koch-Gonzales<br /> *Next meeting date-4 APR, 1600 UT, 5 pm CET, 8 am US PT, 9:30 pm Pune, 5 am NZ<br /> *Acceptance of agenda for today with additions by Alison and Eva<br /> <br /> CONSENT ITEMS:<br /> *a.

I'm feeling a mixture of gratitude, inspiration, frustration and regret. The regret is around a typo in the Participant Access number in the email invitation that was sent. The number on the wiki was correct. I remain puzzled as to how this happened since I thought I copied from one to the other.<br /> <br /> *Present on the call today were:<br /> **Linda Rysenbry, SEA&amp;O temporary representative, Sydney, Australia<br /> **Ann Bouritt, French Circle, Geneva, Switzerland<br /> **Jeff Brown, ENACC representative, St. Louis, USA<br /> **Jan, Observer, Idaho, USA<br /> **Jerry Koch-Gonzales, Observer, Massachusetts, USA<br /> **Laura Liliom, Eastern European Circle, Budapest, Hungary<br /> **Chris Rajendram, Sri Lanka<br /> **Kirsten Kristensen, Nordic/Baltic Circle, Denmark, from the Canary Islands<br /> **Jim Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> **Jori Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> <br /> *Regrets: <br /> **Dominic Barter, Brazil, communicated via email, appended to bottom of report<br /> **Ron Ngata, New Zealand, couldn't connect because of typo :(<br /> **Eva Rambala<br /> **Kumarjeev<br /> **Aniruddha<br /> <br /> *Following check-in, we handled the following consent items:<br /> **a. Jori as meeting facilitator today; consent<br /> **b. Jim as notetaker today; consent<br /> **c. Jim and Jori as functional leaders of GCC for one year; consent<br /> **d. Aim of GCC; consent, with addition of &quot;groups will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.&quot;<br /> **e. Nonviolent governance utilizing consent, feedback, linking. consent<br /> **f. Participants on the call today are the initial planning team for today. consent, after clarifying discussion of balance and equality and term of this meeting.<br /> <br /> **Additionally there was consent that the observers could act as full participants for today's meeting.<br /> <br /> {Note on sociocratic consent-generally in sociocracy, if a person does not attend a meeting, their consent is implied. Inclusion is protected because any item consented at one meeting can be brought back up for consideration at a future meeting by anyone withdrawing consent to that item. Thus, Dom's lack of consent, via email, to some agenda items can be re-visited at the next meeting. -Jim}<br /> <br /> *Following the consent round, we began exploring the issues around the systems and structures that could best support the aim of the GCC. Jori shared some ideas that she and Jim generated than asked for responses: <br /> <br /> **What is the GCC? The GCC is a circle that links to the Leadeship Team and the Network; it is a policy building circle focusing on network connections; the policies being tested at both the LT and the network level.<br /> <br /> **We suggest starting with a planning team, initially seeking those in the network who have built successful projects; that are willing to work together to create templates in support of new projects being formed as a vehicle for mutual learning.<br /> <br /> *Main issues identified by the group to consider:<br /> **How to bring the GCC to concrete form<br /> **Wondering about languages, navigating the differences<br /> **Different ways of passing information through the network<br /> **The size of the GCC &quot;body&quot; <br /> **How many levels/layers could be required<br /> **How to determine the makeup of the GCC to best serve the needs of the network<br /> **Managing the number of people involved in a given meeting/call<br /> **How to deal with time zone differences spanning the globe<br /> **Clarifying the relationship of the LT and the GCC<br /> **How to balance including &quot;successful team leaders&quot; with representation from &quot;new countries that have not yet had a successful project&quot;.<br /> **Acknowledging the need for both appointed and elected members of the GCC<br /> **Acknowledgment of financial cost of involvement, wondering about support for those with less resources.<br /> **The need for the system to acknowledge both language differences and geographic differences<br /> <br /> *At this point Jori shared some ideas she and Jim had been discussing for beginning with a system that consisted of four language groups. <br /> **These languages are spoken in virtually every country of the world either as a primary or secondary language. The example is India, where there are many languages, united by a common language of English. In Vietnam, many speak both Vietnamese and French.<br /> **Each of the four languages would have an appointed leader on the GCC and also an elected representative; thus the GCC would be composed of at least 10 people, including Jori and Jim.<br /> **(French, German, English, Spanish/Portuguese/Italian [Romance languages other than French])<br /> <br /> *Reactions:<br /> **Excitement about focusing on 4 language groups that cover virtually every country as a starting place <br /> **Need to Consider translation and interpretation strategies<br /> **Utilize written word for clarity, ease of interpretation, and spanning time zones, eg Dom's ideas around &quot;soc-e-ocracy&quot;.<br /> **Suggest keep circle size of 12 or less<br /> **Some worry about difficulty between understanding in Sp/Portuguese circle<br /> **Some worry that language differences can stimulate conflict...<br /> **Some concern that language is subsidiary to geography...how to deal with people who share geography but not language, eg Quebec<br /> **Some concern for maintaining geographic representation for policy roles and appreciation for the simplicity of language groups<br /> **Concern for maintaining global awareness<br /> **Geography &quot;primary&quot; over language for global overview and local connection?<br /> **Wants A GCC small enough to function yet insures inclusion through connection to the larger network<br /> <br /> <br /> Closing Round:<br /> <br /> Linda: Glad to be a part of the call; values being aware and connected to some of the issues; enjoyed picture-making; looking for clarity re planning team and gcc; seeing important to begin with knowledge things will be refined/changed.<br /> <br /> Ann: In touch with the complexity of the matter, enriched by reactions of others; our experience in the French speaking circle is that the more organized we get, the more we see people from other areas wanting to connect and get in touch; its important to focus on starting, not focus as much on the how of starting; grateful for presence of everyone and for Jori's facilitation.<br /> <br /> Jeff: Energized, excited, glad that Kirsten and Chris could join the call; excited about the potential to get people connected; the most excitement about organizing by language; could facilitate cross-cultural connection if we were to organize it that way; happy we're having the conversation and moving forward; deep trust in the NVC process and that whatever we come up with will serve the network.<br /> <br /> Jan: Admiring and celebrating willingness to hold and consider issues; more aware now of the complexity; grateful; hopeful; beginning is important-to try something and have a &quot;reconsideration point&quot; chosen to check in if &quot;it&quot; is working.<br /> <br /> Jerry: Pleased with care and consideration and some sense of motion; enjoyed inclusion of observers; concerned about inclusion of observers for efficiency of future meetings; not clear yet on who holds decision-making responsibility.<br /> <br /> Laura: (No check-out, lost connection?)Oh, I got kicked off at the end closing round.<br /> But I would like to then give final feedback by email:<br /> <br /> I enjoyed being part of our call very much, I am at this moment suppressed by the weight of the complexity of this task that is ahead of us now, and also would like to thank Jori for this – to me – wonderful facilitation. I feel a deep appreciation to her facilitation talent and skills. I am really impressed.<br /> <br /> I felt the conference call was efficient, although we did not cover the whole agenda.<br /> I celebrate that I was able to be part of this call now and was able to help one person to join the call and also that I had this time to connect with NVC people from all around the world.<br /> <br /> Kirsten: (No check-out, lost connection?)<br /> <br /> Chris: Enjoyed joining even if late; I understand now what was blocking me from the conversation-we are killing each other (in Sri Lanka) because of the language. I'd like another way of uniting us and getting a central circle functioning; more clarity; grateful for inclusion; glad to have heard voices.<br /> <br /> Jori: Like the increased creativity and grateful for all the feedback<br /> <br /> Jim: Excited about the connection; regret about the typo that may have prevented Ron, Eva, Aniruddha, and Kumarjeev from participating and delayed Chris' connection; grateful to have the support of the folks who participated today; moving closer to clarity about structure and systemic issues; hungry for feedback about other picture forming agenda item; suggest we try using email and the wiki to explore it.<br /> <br /> Meeting was closed after 2 hours.<br /> <br /> ==Request from the notetaker:==<br /> I'd like to invite folks to edit their closing round comments for clarity and brevity. I'd also enjoy you clarifying any issues in the picture-forming if they do not reflect your thoughts, feelings, or needs, or if fresh insights arise. My preference is that you use the wiki; if you are not yet comfortable with the wiki, you can email me your edits and I will edit for you.<br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted with joy and gratitude,<br /> <br /> Jim Manske<br /> nvctrainer@gmail.com<br /> <br /> (PS Additions receeived via email from Dominic Barter are below)<br /> <br /> Dear all,<br /> <br /> I am disappointed to miss this meeting, as I already had teaching activities planned for this time. <br /> <br /> I am eager to connect with you all and test the decision making abilities of this group configured in this way. I continue to experience much energy for co-creating CNVC, after almost 4 years of participation in committees and meetings of this sort, tempered by many, growing doubts about the directions taken during this time.<br /> <br /> One of them is the lack of any current mechanism for participating except by being present at this call, something I imagine many - of not all - of us will experience at some point. So, with this e-mail, I hope to create such a mechanism:<br /> <br /> Please see - and voice/include/consider and respond - to the comments I make after each item.<br /> <br /> Please also add to the agenda discussion on the development of a time-scale for selecting meeting agendas (how many days before a meeting they are proposed, how each participant may contribute to them (wiki, etc.)).<br /> <br /> Or - why not? - let me know if this would not be fun.<br /> <br /> <br /> On 27 Nov 2006, at 16:44, Jim Manske wrote:<br /> <br /> Time: 1300 UT/GMT, 8 am US EST, 2pm Central Europe Time (CET), 6:30pm India Time<br /> <br /> Please canvass the time zones we are all mostly in most of the time and include all at th top of each agenda.<br /> <br /> Please propose a way for making participation relatively equally economically viable for all participants (can CNVC provide the Skype credits for those living in high cost phone countries to dial in this way?

CLOSING ROUND Facilitated by Jori<br /> - Observer Feedback (15 minutes)<br /> -Feedback on meeting effectiveness + Future Agenda items<br /> - What’s alive now? Celebrations and Mournings (15 minutes)<br /> <br /> I'm feeling engaged and curious, having met my need for participation and creativity and noticing a tingling unmet need for connection.<br /> Would anyone enjoy sharing a written response to this e-mail and / or the voice meeting?<br /> <br /> 1500 Closing of Meeting <br /> <br /> Love to all,<br /> <br /> Dominic<br /> <br /> ==UK Sociocratic Circle==<br /> On Nov 22, 2006, Jori and Jim joined the UK Sociocratic Circle for a teleconference.<br /> <br /> ==Eastern Europe==<br /> Monica Reu writes: &quot;The Eastern European Network had its monthly teleconference meeting Nov 10, 2006 and following a sociocratic election process Laura Liliom from Hungary was elected to represent our network in the teleconference on the 28th of November.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==ENACC==<br /> *[[CIA2006 Session Summary]]<br /> On Nov 5, 2006, Jim and Jori participated in a call of the ENACC (The NVC English-speaking North American Coordinating Circle).<br /> <br /> ==S&amp;EA/O==<br /> *[[S&amp;EA/O Sociocratic Circle]]<br /> On Nov 2, 2006, Jim and Jori participated in a call of the S&amp;EA/O (South and East Asia/Oceania Circle).<br /> <br /> The [[S&amp;EA/O Sociocratic Circle| S&amp;EA/O Circle]] hosted [[A Gathering of Leaders in NVC|A 2006 NVC Leadership event]], and is considering one in 2007.<br /> <br /> ==INVITATION / EINLADUNG / L'INVITATION/INVITACION==<br /> <br /> ===INVITATION===<br /> Dear Community,<br /> <br /> We invite you to consider how you would like to be linked to others practicing NVC in your local area and to the broader NVC community. Would you like to contribute to this connectivity?<br /> <br /> As sociocratically selected leaders of the new GCC for the coordination of NVC communities worldwide, I am delighted that Jim and I will working together to support the connectivity that could fuel global social transformation through the growth of NVC consciousness. We are committed to the fulfillment of the vision of having NVC teams in every country in the world. We will be working to help build teams in areas that do not have them, and learning from and supporting connection with existing NVC groups. This is one of the major areas of functionality identified for CNVC at the recent Board meeting.<br /> <br /> We will be meeting later this month with the representatives previously nominated by existing circles to explore the structures and strategies that will provide representation and mutual connection that will support us all in fulfilling our shared vision of the growth of compassionate giving, joy, and nonviolence in the world.<br /> <br /> We welcome your feedback about what support you would like in building your community, or in healing any lack of connection currently for you in connecting with CNVC or others practicing NVC in your community.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight,<br /> <br /> Jori and Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===EINLADUNG===<br /> <br /> Liebe Gemeinschaft in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation,<br /> <br /> Wir laden euch alle ein, darüber nachzudenken, in welcher Art ihr verbunden sein wollt mit Menschen, die die Gewaltfreie Kommunikation leben, sowohl in eurer Region und auch in einem weiter gefassten Rahmen der NVC-Gemeinschaft.<br /> Möchtet ihr zu dieser Verbundenheit beitragen?<br /> <br /> Als soziokratisch gewählte Leiter des neu eingerichteten GCC (Weltweiter Koordinierungsrat), der die Arbeit der NVC-Gemeinschaften weltweit koordinieren soll, bin ich froh darüber, dass Jim und ich zusammenarbeiten werden, um die Verbundenheit zu unterstützen, die zu einem Wachsen des Bewusstseins für gewaltfreie Kommunikation beiträgt und dadurch die globale soziale Transformation vorantreibt.<br /> <br /> Wir haben den Willen, an der Erfüllung unserer Vision zu arbeiten, Teams in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation in jedem Land der Welt zu haben. Wir werden unterstützend beim Aufbau von Teams mitwirken in Gegenden, wo noch keine existieren. Dabei werden wir die Verbindung zu den Teams unterstützen, die es bereits gibt und von ihnen lernen. Dies ist eine der Hauptaufgaben für das CNVC, wie wir auf dem letzten Board Meeting herausgefunden haben.<br /> <br /> In Laufe dieses Monats werden wir uns mit den kürzlich von den bereits arbeitenden Kreisen aufgestellten Repräsentanten treffen, um Strukturen und Strategien zu untersuchen, die eine Repräsentation und gegenseitige Verbindung leisten können. <br /> Von dieser Repräsentation und gegenseitigen Verbindung erhoffen wir uns eine breite Unterstützung, um diese uns gemeinsame Vision von wachsendem Mitgefühl, Geben und Nehmen von Herzen, Freude und Gewaltfreiheit in der Welt, mehr und mehr ins Leben holen zu können.<br /> <br /> Wir freuen uns über Rückmeldungen, welche Art von Unterstützung ihr braucht, um eure Gemeinschaft aufzubauen oder eine momentan fehlende Verbindung zu heilen, und um euch mit dem CNVC und anderen &quot;gewaltfrei&quot; Aktiven in eurer Gemeinschaft zu verbinden.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight, (Etwa: Mit Wärme und Freude)<br /> <br /> Jori und Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===L'INVITATION===<br /> <br /> Cher(chère) membre de la Communauté CNV,<br /> <br /> Ce message est une invitation à réfléchir à la manière dont vous souhaiteriez être reliés aux autres personnes pratiquant la CNV dans votre région ou, plus largement, dans le monde. Voulez-vous contribuer à la mise en place de liens entre nous?<br /> <br /> Jim et moi avons été élus sociocratiquement directeurs du nouveau Cercle Général de Coordination chargé de coordonner les communautés CNV de par le monde. Je me réjouis de nous voir travailler ensemble au service d'une telle mise en lien qui, grâce à la conscience CNV, contribuera au changement social dans le monde. Nous nous sommes engagés à réaliser la vision consistant à mettre en place des équipes CNV dans tous les pays du monde. Nous aiderons à la création d'équipes dans les régions où elles sont inexistantes. Nous nous inspirerons et encouragerons les liens déjà établis entre les groupes CNV existants. Il s'agit d'une des missions principales confiées au Centre pour la CNV lors de la dernière réunion du Board.<br /> <br /> Dans le courant de ce mois, nous rencontrerons les représentants préalablement désignés par les cercles existants afin d'explorer les structures et les stratégies propres à assurer la représentation et le niveau d'échange qui nous aideront tous à réaliser notre vision commune: voir la bienveillance, la joie et la non-violence grandir dans le monde.<br /> <br /> Nous serions ravis de savoir comment nous pouvons vous aider à créer votre communauté ou à remédier à un éventuel manque d'échange avec le Centre pour la CNV ou avec d'autres personnes pratiquant la CNV autour de vous. <br /> <br /> Très chaleureusement, au plaisir de vous lire,<br /> <br /> Jori et Jim<br /> <br /> nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===INVITACION===<br /> <br /> Estimada Comunidad,<br /> <br /> Los invitamos a que consideren la forma en que quisieran estar ligados a las otras personas practicantes de la Comunicación No Violenta en su área local y en la comunidad más amplia de CNV. Les gustaría contribuir con esta conectividad?<br /> <br /> Como líderes sociocraticamente elegidos de la nueva GCC para la coordinación de las comunidades CNV en todo el mundo, estoy complacido de que Jim y yo estemos trabajando para apoyar la conectividad que podría fortalecer la transformación social a través del crecimiento de conciencia de la CNV.<br /> <br /> Estamos comprometidos con alcanzar nuestra visión de tener equipos de CNV en cada país del mundo. Estaremos trabajando para ayudar a crear nuevos equipos de trabajo en áreas donde éstos no existen y, por otro lado, aprender y apoyar la conexión con los grupos existentes. Esta es una de las áreas de mayor funcionalidad identificadas por el CCNV en su más reciente reunión de junta directiva. <br /> <br /> Nos estaremos reuniendo a fin de mes con los representantes nominados anteriormente por los círculos existentes con el fin de explorar las estructuras y las estrategias que proveerán la conexión y representación mutua que nos ayudarían a alcanzar una mayor visión de expansión de la alegría, el dar compasivamente y la no violencia en el mundo.<br /> <br /> Aceptamos cualquier sugerencia o recomendación de la forma en que le gustaría recibir nuestro apoyo para la creación, el fortalecimiento de su comunidad o bien cualquier impedimento de comunicación con el CCNV. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Con cariño y felicidad, <br /> <br /> Jori y Jim Manske nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ==FUNCTIONS OF THE GCC==<br /> The GCC functions include contributing to support and connection throughout the CNVC network, sustaining existing circles and helping to cultivate new circles. We have a goal of having an NVC team in every<br /> country of the world by 2017. Our aspiration is that the GCC and these teams will live the process of NVC as fully as possible.<br /> <br /> The GCC, like all the circles, is both an autonomous and interdependent entity empowered with determining and implementing strategies to fulfill its functionality within mutually determined guidelines. It will be linked to the decision-making in the Leadership Team through membership of its functional leaders and representatives.<br /> <br /> As part of a sociocratic system, communication and power will be both &quot;top down&quot; and &quot;bottom up&quot;. The GCC is one of a few &quot;top level&quot; circles of the LT and the functional leader(s) of the GCC are thus members of the LT which is responsible for the overall functioning of the organizations day-to-day business. Eventually, there will be an elected representative from the GCC as well that will sit on the LT, fulfilling the aspiration of double-linking.<br /> <br /> We hope to have a GCC representative on the LT by the end of 2007. This will require clarity about the structure of the GCC which we are currently working on.<br /> <br /> The leaders of the GCC are Jim and Jori Manske, elected sociocratically by the LT in October, 2006. To communicate via email with Jim and Jori, send mail to nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com; Jim's Skype name is jimjori; Jori's Skype name is jorijim.<br /> <br /> =GCC CONTACT WITH CIRCLES=<br /> =='''South and East Asia/Oceania Circle'''==<br /> ===Minutes of meeting with SEA&amp;O, 3 November 2006===<br /> Hi everyone<br /> <br /> These notes have been posted on our yahoo group as well. If anyone present at the meeting is unhappy with how I have recorded an aspect of the meeting please do let me know. I I have omitted anyone in the apologies please also let me know.<br /> <br /> with care,<br /> Linda<br /> <br /> Minutes for extra-ordinary meeting of SEA&amp;O November 3, 2006<br /> <br /> Present: Linda Rysenbry, Liz Gay, Cate Crombie (initially), Cherie Scott Jim &amp; Jori Manske<br /> <br /> Apologies: Shari Macree, Dorset Campbell Ross, Chris Rajendram, Ron Ngata<br /> <br /> Checking-in:<br /> Linda – Grateful for Liz’s impulse for this meeting and grateful for Jori and Jim’s enthusiasm to get together.<br /> Liz – Hopeful of getting clarity and understanding and looking forward to the call<br /> Cherie – grateful to have managed to get on to the call by phone and happy to be here<br /> Jim – Enjoys community and remembering recently assisting another group in establishing connection and a circle and looking forward to contributing to SEA&amp;O and others. Contributing to community is the ‘juice’ he enjoys.<br /> Jori – met Jim in community and is looking forward to an increase in connection in the Network. Sees the power of creation is in connections we make. Celebrating the restructuring designed in Atlanta is based on functionality rather than geography and therefore more in alignment with sociocracy.<br /> <br /> Exchange around the intention of the meeting during which Jori – expressed intention for the meeting to be about connecting and then seeing how we decide to remain connected ongoingly and Liz – expressed desire for answers to questions she had about the output of the Atlanta meeting.<br /> <br /> Through questions and discussion we:<br /> <br /> · looked at the minutes from Atlanta – in particular the new structure – http://en.nvcwiki.com/images/Minutes_Addendum_v3.pdf<br /> <br /> Jori clarified that the structure is intended and agreements have been made, that support freedom to act by individuals who fulfil leadership roles eg. The Network managers Jim &amp; Jori and Marshall &amp; Valentina in their leadership roles, in circumstances that are extraordinary have the prior agreement of the team/GCC to take action as they see fit.<br /> <br /> Liz sought clarifications and received empathy<br /> <br /> Cherie – expressed that it matters very much to her HOW things are actioned. And not knowing details felt concerned about HOW actions had been taken regarding Liz gay’s membership Of the GCC.<br /> <br /> Jim and Jori shared personal mourning in connection to the above.<br /> <br /> Linda – acknowledged Jori’s personal mourning and expressed desire to hear a collective expression from the GCC (if it was true for them) of mourning. Feeling concerned about there being a ‘group’ that made the decision and now not having a sense of connection to the ‘group’. Empathy around fears connected to groups acting in a way which individuals later have misgivings about. Accepting that all were doing their best at the time; needing safety and to know that something has been harvested that might support us not repeating this.<br /> <br /> Jori – expressed her personal harvest relating to having not taken action when she heard one more word than she would enjoy to hear. Enquired as to whether Linda would enjoy to contact all the GCC members and hear their harvest.<br /> <br /> Checking out<br /> <br /> Cherie – Glad to have taken the time to be present on the call and appreciating the connection having been heard.<br /> <br /> Jim – Pleased with what was accomplished and sensing that we are part way toward where we want to be. Looking forward to the next part. Proposed another meeting be scheduled – all agreed.<br /> <br /> Linda – Feeling light and very happy to have connected to need for harvesting and learning.

Resources are developed to enable NVC teams to begin and sustain their projects. Teams will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.'''<br /> <br /> An NVC Project Team is composed of at least one CNVC certified trainer and one CNVC supporter with a common aim which is in harmony with the vision of CNVC. Each team develops its own mission and aim(s) inclusively inviting interested community members to participate within their circle. Teams operate with autonomy to fulfill their goals while working interdependently within the guidelines and policies of CNVC. Teams are connected to support mutual learning.<br /> <br /> Individual members of teams cultivate an ever-increasing ability to &quot;live the process&quot; of Nonviolent Communication. As multiple teams emerge within a given area, they work cooperatively together to build life-affirming systems of mutual support, focusing on the vision and mission of CNVC.<br /> <br /> =News=<br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 4 April 2007==<br /> Start 1500 GMT, 5pm Paris, 8am US PT, 9:30pm Pune, 5am NZ<br /> <br /> '''ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS'''<br /> *Members: Jim, Jori, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Andy Basu <br /> **note: Dominic Barter, proposed member, was with us for a short time.

She sees the power pf language as a CONTACT POINT. She asked for reactions from members:<br /> ***Andy: the joy of sharing in English mixed witht he sadness of being unable to express fully in my mother tongue.<br /> ***Eva: for many it is easier to speak from the heart in English, free from the habits of native language.<br /> ***Anne: wondering how we can make that happen-language is not the only problem. Let's try and see what happens<br /> ***Jori invites email connection from all to explore further. nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> **'''Proposal from the Nordic Baltic Circle''' (Kirsten)<br /> Just had second meeting of NB Circle-lots of connection and enthusiasm! Would like the Eastern Europeans to decide for themselves how to link to the GCC; also wanted to express unity of all Europe and invite to join through the English-speaking &quot;western&quot; link to the GCC.<br /> ***Reactions:<br /> ****Eva: very touched with what she hears. Will ask Eastern European network for feedback. Would personally prefer to connect through English-speaking &quot;other&quot; to GCC. No clear on what it means on a practical level. Working on a different image of the structure. Many Eastern countries need financial support.<br /> ****Jori: touched; likes linking Eastern and Western Europe. Unclear about practical; need for economic balance.<br /> ****Anne: celebration that people are gathering and building community; puzzled; not sure about best strategy for connection<br /> ****Laura: really like the care and appreciate the invitation. all positive reactions.<br /> ***Jim agreed to post the invitation in the minutes: &quot;The Nordic Baltic circle would like to have the Eastern Europe Circle be double linked to the English<br /> Western Circle, because we see us all as Europe, and many of the<br /> countries are members of the EU, and both circles speak English.&quot;<br /> **'''Structure proposal''' (Eva)<br /> ***I would like to send out an invitation: each local circle are<br /> welcome to choose a representative to the GCC. These people would be<br /> voting members of GCC. If the number goes above 10 we would<br /> reorganize ourselves. I believe 10 is the maximum number for an<br /> effective phone conference.<br /> ***Jori's reactions: worried about personal agendas; need for global vision; wants equal access to GCC but not necessaily voting members. <br /> PROPOSAL: Table agenda item and sit with it- Send any suggestions for reformulation to Eva eva@rambala.hu CONSENT<br /> <br /> <br /> CLOSING ROUND <br /> *Cathy: grateful to connect back in with the community glad to be a part. look forward to more.<br /> *Alison: warmed; very happy with sense of more possibilities for inclusion with GCC and contributing.<br /> *Fabiola: (via Jenny) feeling disappointed about the balance towad Administrative issues; annoyed, wanting respect<br /> *Jenny: Heavy heart; despairing; wanting ways of working and communicating with rest of world; not confident in present strategy. this is a big crisis for me. would like more opportunity for a say and a vote, to find ways to hear, understand, and address fully.<br /> *Isabelle: concerned about structure; would like more preparation on agenda items. would like to offer reports to be read before meeting and then have oppoprtunity for clarification. I miss the upward links. mixed feelings.<br /> *Markus: torn; very grateful to hear the voices and how you facilitate; would have liked more time to discuss Eva's proposals. Triggered about &quot;personal agenda, global perspective&quot; comment. Sad about that.<br /> *Laura: energized; mixed feelngs hearing some of the fedback. One of the the most alive conference calls; i liked going with the life!<br /> *Kirsten: Felt very good when closing round began; now I feel concerrn. Really enjoyed what we have been doing. Would like focus on a double link between circles. I don't know what to say about not being involved. I'm not experiencing a lack of connection. I would welcome people taking responsisbility for making connection. I have so much to say but will stop now.<br /> *Jerry: enjoying the sense that what people want is connection. see very different strategies. would like to see the structure built.<br /> *Andy: grateful for the time t set up and participate in the meeting. excited, still have &quot;sweaty hands&quot; about getting involved.

Le chaos peut être très sain. Nous avons tant besoin de ce qui est en cours d’émergence… Nous cherchons des chemins plus au service de la Vie et plus sains. »<br /> <br /> Cette suspension des certifications a été mise au service d’une réflexion proposée à toutes les personnes faisant partie de l’équipe internationale de certification (personnes chargées de l’évaluation des candidats ainsi que coordinateurs/trices de la certification). Le réseau francophone a transmis ses réflexions à Marshall, Valentina et à l’équipe de certification.<br /> <br /> Nomination d’un nouveau représentant au GCC<br /> <br /> Andreas Basu est élu comme représentant du réseau germanophone.<br /> Avant de dire oui à son élection, il est vérifié qu’Isolde et les autres personnes qui viennent de proposer la création d’un centre européen seront prises en compte. Andreas est proche d’Isolde (certificatrice germanophone) et a signifié son intention de rester en contact et en dialogue avec elle et les autres signataires de cette proposition, ceci de concert avec Jori et Jim, pour une poursuite de l’échange et une écoute des souffrances qui ont été au point de départ de leur initiative.<br /> <br /> Le réseau en Allemagne connaît une période d’agitation, Markus Sikor (coordinateur de la certification en Allemagne) espère que ce chaos va permettre au réseau germanophone d’émerger dans une énergie différente, dans une énergie au service de la Vie.<br /> <br /> Création du cercle africain<br /> <br /> Le GCC est en questionnement concernant l’accès aux infos de certains pays ou régions ou personnes dans le monde. Trois personnes d’expression anglaise (Alison, Jenny et Fabiola) avaient exprimé leur inquiétude à ce sujet lors de la réunion téléphonique précédente et par des courriels très élaborés au GCC. Elles aimeraient être rassurées que le GCC démarre son fonctionnement en incluant dès le début des représentants des pays moins favorisés sur le plan économique.<br /> <br /> Anne fait part de la création toute récente d’un premier cercle africain, dont Pierre Muanda Ngoma est le 1er lien et Jean-Baptiste Ndikuriyo le 2e lien. Elle ajoute que Dunia Hategekimana, coordinateur des projets africains, a été informé et a donné sa bénédiction aux personnes en question. Jenny fait part de son regret de ne pas voir Dunia invité à faire partie du GCC, alors qu’il pourrait y être une personne ressource. Jim se promet de prendre contact rapidement avec lui.<br /> <br /> Invitation de chacun à rejoindre le GCC<br /> <br /> Eva Rambala propose que n’importe quel cercle existant qui en aurait le goût puisse envoyer un représentant au GCC. Quitte à gérer le chaos ensuite, si plus de dix représentants apparaissaient en peu de temps ! Des craintes sont émises par la plupart des autres membres du GCC. Finalement, la décision est prise de constituer une ‘commission d’inclusion, ou de non exclusion’, pour favoriser la reliance au GCC autrement qu’aujourd’hui. Jim en sera le responsable.<br /> <br /> Création d’un nouveau cercle Baltique<br /> <br /> Kirsten Kristensen annonce la création d’un nouveau ‘Cercle Baltique’ composé de personnes du Danemark, de Norvège, de Suède et de Finlande ; ce cercle souhaiterait se relier au GCC via Eva Rambala et ainsi établir des liens privilégiés avec l’Europe de l’Est. Eva se réjouit de la possibilité symbolique de rassemblement des pays aisés avec des pays ayant moins de facilité sur le plan économique. Aucune décision n’est prise pour le moment.<br /> <br /> Temps de célébration<br /> <br /> Le partage final est mitigé.<br /> Certains sont inquiets ou découragés, d’autres remplis d’énergie.<br /> <br /> Pour celles et ceux qui se débrouillent en anglais : on peut trouver un rapport détaillé de chaque rencontre téléphonique (et même un enregistrement audio)<br /> <br /> Rapport rédigé par Anne Bourrit et Martine Marenne<br /> 10 avril 2007<br /> <br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 7 March 2007==<br /> <br /> AGENDA:<br /> <br /> Start 1600 GMT, 5pm Paris, 8am US PT, 9:30pm Pune, 5am NZ <br /> <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS<br /> *Attendees: Jim, Jori, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Isabell Peters, Chris Ranjendram, Dominic Barter, Louise Romain, Laura Liliom, Alison Harper, Towe Widstrand, Shantigarbha, Jerry Koch-Gonzales<br /> *Next meeting date-4 APR, 1600 UT, 5 pm CET, 8 am US PT, 9:30 pm Pune, 5 am NZ<br /> *Acceptance of agenda for today with additions by Alison and Eva<br /> <br /> CONSENT ITEMS:<br /> *a.

Louise will assist Jim in getting an email list to send the survey to. The survey will be distributed via email to the folks in Australia and New Zealand.

CONSENT<br /> <br /> *Picture Forming of Strategies to move toward Aim - harvesting ideas. Some issues identified include:<br /> **desire for a map of all existing circles.<br /> **difficulty of getting in touch with &quot;less assertive&quot; cultures; how do we include all, including &quot;first nations&quot;, aboriginals, etc?<br /> **idea of folks &quot;wandering around&quot; to foster contact and connection<br /> **concern about funds available for some strategies (like the wanderers)<br /> **fostering connections between countries where NVC teams are present with neighbors in bordering countries that do not yet have NVC teams<br /> **convene around multi-day sociocracy training and &quot;network&quot; day; use as opportunity to form structures, circles, and to create clarity of functions<br /> <br /> CLOSING ROUND<br /> *Kirsten: Enjoyed the connection, feeling your voices.

I'm feeling a mixture of gratitude, inspiration, frustration and regret. The regret is around a typo in the Participant Access number in the email invitation that was sent. The number on the wiki was correct. I remain puzzled as to how this happened since I thought I copied from one to the other.<br /> <br /> *Present on the call today were:<br /> **Linda Rysenbry, SEA&amp;O temporary representative, Sydney, Australia<br /> **Ann Bouritt, French Circle, Geneva, Switzerland<br /> **Jeff Brown, ENACC representative, St. Louis, USA<br /> **Jan, Observer, Idaho, USA<br /> **Jerry Koch-Gonzales, Observer, Massachusetts, USA<br /> **Laura Liliom, Eastern European Circle, Budapest, Hungary<br /> **Chris Rajendram, Sri Lanka<br /> **Kirsten Kristensen, Nordic/Baltic Circle, Denmark, from the Canary Islands<br /> **Jim Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> **Jori Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> <br /> *Regrets: <br /> **Dominic Barter, Brazil, communicated via email, appended to bottom of report<br /> **Ron Ngata, New Zealand, couldn't connect because of typo :(<br /> **Eva Rambala<br /> **Kumarjeev<br /> **Aniruddha<br /> <br /> *Following check-in, we handled the following consent items:<br /> **a. Jori as meeting facilitator today; consent<br /> **b. Jim as notetaker today; consent<br /> **c. Jim and Jori as functional leaders of GCC for one year; consent<br /> **d. Aim of GCC; consent, with addition of &quot;groups will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.&quot;<br /> **e. Nonviolent governance utilizing consent, feedback, linking. consent<br /> **f. Participants on the call today are the initial planning team for today. consent, after clarifying discussion of balance and equality and term of this meeting.<br /> <br /> **Additionally there was consent that the observers could act as full participants for today's meeting.<br /> <br /> {Note on sociocratic consent-generally in sociocracy, if a person does not attend a meeting, their consent is implied. Inclusion is protected because any item consented at one meeting can be brought back up for consideration at a future meeting by anyone withdrawing consent to that item. Thus, Dom's lack of consent, via email, to some agenda items can be re-visited at the next meeting. -Jim}<br /> <br /> *Following the consent round, we began exploring the issues around the systems and structures that could best support the aim of the GCC. Jori shared some ideas that she and Jim generated than asked for responses: <br /> <br /> **What is the GCC? The GCC is a circle that links to the Leadeship Team and the Network; it is a policy building circle focusing on network connections; the policies being tested at both the LT and the network level.<br /> <br /> **We suggest starting with a planning team, initially seeking those in the network who have built successful projects; that are willing to work together to create templates in support of new projects being formed as a vehicle for mutual learning.<br /> <br /> *Main issues identified by the group to consider:<br /> **How to bring the GCC to concrete form<br /> **Wondering about languages, navigating the differences<br /> **Different ways of passing information through the network<br /> **The size of the GCC &quot;body&quot; <br /> **How many levels/layers could be required<br /> **How to determine the makeup of the GCC to best serve the needs of the network<br /> **Managing the number of people involved in a given meeting/call<br /> **How to deal with time zone differences spanning the globe<br /> **Clarifying the relationship of the LT and the GCC<br /> **How to balance including &quot;successful team leaders&quot; with representation from &quot;new countries that have not yet had a successful project&quot;.<br /> **Acknowledging the need for both appointed and elected members of the GCC<br /> **Acknowledgment of financial cost of involvement, wondering about support for those with less resources.<br /> **The need for the system to acknowledge both language differences and geographic differences<br /> <br /> *At this point Jori shared some ideas she and Jim had been discussing for beginning with a system that consisted of four language groups. <br /> **These languages are spoken in virtually every country of the world either as a primary or secondary language. The example is India, where there are many languages, united by a common language of English. In Vietnam, many speak both Vietnamese and French.<br /> **Each of the four languages would have an appointed leader on the GCC and also an elected representative; thus the GCC would be composed of at least 10 people, including Jori and Jim.<br /> **(French, German, English, Spanish/Portuguese/Italian [Romance languages other than French])<br /> <br /> *Reactions:<br /> **Excitement about focusing on 4 language groups that cover virtually every country as a starting place <br /> **Need to Consider translation and interpretation strategies<br /> **Utilize written word for clarity, ease of interpretation, and spanning time zones, eg Dom's ideas around &quot;soc-e-ocracy&quot;.<br /> **Suggest keep circle size of 12 or less<br /> **Some worry about difficulty between understanding in Sp/Portuguese circle<br /> **Some worry that language differences can stimulate conflict...<br /> **Some concern that language is subsidiary to geography...how to deal with people who share geography but not language, eg Quebec<br /> **Some concern for maintaining geographic representation for policy roles and appreciation for the simplicity of language groups<br /> **Concern for maintaining global awareness<br /> **Geography &quot;primary&quot; over language for global overview and local connection?<br /> **Wants A GCC small enough to function yet insures inclusion through connection to the larger network<br /> <br /> <br /> Closing Round:<br /> <br /> Linda: Glad to be a part of the call; values being aware and connected to some of the issues; enjoyed picture-making; looking for clarity re planning team and gcc; seeing important to begin with knowledge things will be refined/changed.<br /> <br /> Ann: In touch with the complexity of the matter, enriched by reactions of others; our experience in the French speaking circle is that the more organized we get, the more we see people from other areas wanting to connect and get in touch; its important to focus on starting, not focus as much on the how of starting; grateful for presence of everyone and for Jori's facilitation.<br /> <br /> Jeff: Energized, excited, glad that Kirsten and Chris could join the call; excited about the potential to get people connected; the most excitement about organizing by language; could facilitate cross-cultural connection if we were to organize it that way; happy we're having the conversation and moving forward; deep trust in the NVC process and that whatever we come up with will serve the network.<br /> <br /> Jan: Admiring and celebrating willingness to hold and consider issues; more aware now of the complexity; grateful; hopeful; beginning is important-to try something and have a &quot;reconsideration point&quot; chosen to check in if &quot;it&quot; is working.<br /> <br /> Jerry: Pleased with care and consideration and some sense of motion; enjoyed inclusion of observers; concerned about inclusion of observers for efficiency of future meetings; not clear yet on who holds decision-making responsibility.<br /> <br /> Laura: (No check-out, lost connection?)Oh, I got kicked off at the end closing round.<br /> But I would like to then give final feedback by email:<br /> <br /> I enjoyed being part of our call very much, I am at this moment suppressed by the weight of the complexity of this task that is ahead of us now, and also would like to thank Jori for this – to me – wonderful facilitation. I feel a deep appreciation to her facilitation talent and skills. I am really impressed.<br /> <br /> I felt the conference call was efficient, although we did not cover the whole agenda.<br /> I celebrate that I was able to be part of this call now and was able to help one person to join the call and also that I had this time to connect with NVC people from all around the world.<br /> <br /> Kirsten: (No check-out, lost connection?)<br /> <br /> Chris: Enjoyed joining even if late; I understand now what was blocking me from the conversation-we are killing each other (in Sri Lanka) because of the language. I'd like another way of uniting us and getting a central circle functioning; more clarity; grateful for inclusion; glad to have heard voices.<br /> <br /> Jori: Like the increased creativity and grateful for all the feedback<br /> <br /> Jim: Excited about the connection; regret about the typo that may have prevented Ron, Eva, Aniruddha, and Kumarjeev from participating and delayed Chris' connection; grateful to have the support of the folks who participated today; moving closer to clarity about structure and systemic issues; hungry for feedback about other picture forming agenda item; suggest we try using email and the wiki to explore it.<br /> <br /> Meeting was closed after 2 hours.<br /> <br /> ==Request from the notetaker:==<br /> I'd like to invite folks to edit their closing round comments for clarity and brevity. I'd also enjoy you clarifying any issues in the picture-forming if they do not reflect your thoughts, feelings, or needs, or if fresh insights arise. My preference is that you use the wiki; if you are not yet comfortable with the wiki, you can email me your edits and I will edit for you.<br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted with joy and gratitude,<br /> <br /> Jim Manske<br /> nvctrainer@gmail.com<br /> <br /> (PS Additions receeived via email from Dominic Barter are below)<br /> <br /> Dear all,<br /> <br /> I am disappointed to miss this meeting, as I already had teaching activities planned for this time. <br /> <br /> I am eager to connect with you all and test the decision making abilities of this group configured in this way. I continue to experience much energy for co-creating CNVC, after almost 4 years of participation in committees and meetings of this sort, tempered by many, growing doubts about the directions taken during this time.<br /> <br /> One of them is the lack of any current mechanism for participating except by being present at this call, something I imagine many - of not all - of us will experience at some point. So, with this e-mail, I hope to create such a mechanism:<br /> <br /> Please see - and voice/include/consider and respond - to the comments I make after each item.<br /> <br /> Please also add to the agenda discussion on the development of a time-scale for selecting meeting agendas (how many days before a meeting they are proposed, how each participant may contribute to them (wiki, etc.)).<br /> <br /> Or - why not? - let me know if this would not be fun.<br /> <br /> <br /> On 27 Nov 2006, at 16:44, Jim Manske wrote:<br /> <br /> Time: 1300 UT/GMT, 8 am US EST, 2pm Central Europe Time (CET), 6:30pm India Time<br /> <br /> Please canvass the time zones we are all mostly in most of the time and include all at th top of each agenda.<br /> <br /> Please propose a way for making participation relatively equally economically viable for all participants (can CNVC provide the Skype credits for those living in high cost phone countries to dial in this way?

We are committed to the fulfillment of the vision of having NVC teams in every country in the world. We will be working to help build teams in areas that do not have them, and learning from and supporting connection with existing NVC groups. This is one of the major areas of functionality identified for CNVC at the recent Board meeting.<br /> <br /> We will be meeting later this month with the representatives previously nominated by existing circles to explore the structures and strategies that will provide representation and mutual connection that will support us all in fulfilling our shared vision of the growth of compassionate giving, joy, and nonviolence in the world.<br /> <br /> We welcome your feedback about what support you would like in building your community, or in healing any lack of connection currently for you in connecting with CNVC or others practicing NVC in your community.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight,<br /> <br /> Jori and Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===EINLADUNG===<br /> <br /> Liebe Gemeinschaft in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation,<br /> <br /> Wir laden euch alle ein, darüber nachzudenken, in welcher Art ihr verbunden sein wollt mit Menschen, die die Gewaltfreie Kommunikation leben, sowohl in eurer Region und auch in einem weiter gefassten Rahmen der NVC-Gemeinschaft.<br /> Möchtet ihr zu dieser Verbundenheit beitragen?<br /> <br /> Als soziokratisch gewählte Leiter des neu eingerichteten GCC (Weltweiter Koordinierungsrat), der die Arbeit der NVC-Gemeinschaften weltweit koordinieren soll, bin ich froh darüber, dass Jim und ich zusammenarbeiten werden, um die Verbundenheit zu unterstützen, die zu einem Wachsen des Bewusstseins für gewaltfreie Kommunikation beiträgt und dadurch die globale soziale Transformation vorantreibt.<br /> <br /> Wir haben den Willen, an der Erfüllung unserer Vision zu arbeiten, Teams in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation in jedem Land der Welt zu haben. Wir werden unterstützend beim Aufbau von Teams mitwirken in Gegenden, wo noch keine existieren. Dabei werden wir die Verbindung zu den Teams unterstützen, die es bereits gibt und von ihnen lernen. Dies ist eine der Hauptaufgaben für das CNVC, wie wir auf dem letzten Board Meeting herausgefunden haben.<br /> <br /> In Laufe dieses Monats werden wir uns mit den kürzlich von den bereits arbeitenden Kreisen aufgestellten Repräsentanten treffen, um Strukturen und Strategien zu untersuchen, die eine Repräsentation und gegenseitige Verbindung leisten können. <br /> Von dieser Repräsentation und gegenseitigen Verbindung erhoffen wir uns eine breite Unterstützung, um diese uns gemeinsame Vision von wachsendem Mitgefühl, Geben und Nehmen von Herzen, Freude und Gewaltfreiheit in der Welt, mehr und mehr ins Leben holen zu können.<br /> <br /> Wir freuen uns über Rückmeldungen, welche Art von Unterstützung ihr braucht, um eure Gemeinschaft aufzubauen oder eine momentan fehlende Verbindung zu heilen, und um euch mit dem CNVC und anderen &quot;gewaltfrei&quot; Aktiven in eurer Gemeinschaft zu verbinden.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight, (Etwa: Mit Wärme und Freude)<br /> <br /> Jori und Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===L'INVITATION===<br /> <br /> Cher(chère) membre de la Communauté CNV,<br /> <br /> Ce message est une invitation à réfléchir à la manière dont vous souhaiteriez être reliés aux autres personnes pratiquant la CNV dans votre région ou, plus largement, dans le monde.

Je me réjouis de nous voir travailler ensemble au service d'une telle mise en lien qui, grâce à la conscience CNV, contribuera au changement social dans le monde. Nous nous sommes engagés à réaliser la vision consistant à mettre en place des équipes CNV dans tous les pays du monde. Nous aiderons à la création d'équipes dans les régions où elles sont inexistantes. Nous nous inspirerons et encouragerons les liens déjà établis entre les groupes CNV existants. Il s'agit d'une des missions principales confiées au Centre pour la CNV lors de la dernière réunion du Board.<br /> <br /> Dans le courant de ce mois, nous rencontrerons les représentants préalablement désignés par les cercles existants afin d'explorer les structures et les stratégies propres à assurer la représentation et le niveau d'échange qui nous aideront tous à réaliser notre vision commune: voir la bienveillance, la joie et la non-violence grandir dans le monde.<br /> <br /> Nous serions ravis de savoir comment nous pouvons vous aider à créer votre communauté ou à remédier à un éventuel manque d'échange avec le Centre pour la CNV ou avec d'autres personnes pratiquant la CNV autour de vous. <br /> <br /> Très chaleureusement, au plaisir de vous lire,<br /> <br /> Jori et Jim<br /> <br /> nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===INVITACION===<br /> <br /> Estimada Comunidad,<br /> <br /> Los invitamos a que consideren la forma en que quisieran estar ligados a las otras personas practicantes de la Comunicación No Violenta en su área local y en la comunidad más amplia de CNV.

Estaremos trabajando para ayudar a crear nuevos equipos de trabajo en áreas donde éstos no existen y, por otro lado, aprender y apoyar la conexión con los grupos existentes. Esta es una de las áreas de mayor funcionalidad identificadas por el CCNV en su más reciente reunión de junta directiva. <br /> <br /> Nos estaremos reuniendo a fin de mes con los representantes nominados anteriormente por los círculos existentes con el fin de explorar las estructuras y las estrategias que proveerán la conexión y representación mutua que nos ayudarían a alcanzar una mayor visión de expansión de la alegría, el dar compasivamente y la no violencia en el mundo.<br /> <br /> Aceptamos cualquier sugerencia o recomendación de la forma en que le gustaría recibir nuestro apoyo para la creación, el fortalecimiento de su comunidad o bien cualquier impedimento de comunicación con el CCNV. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Con cariño y felicidad, <br /> <br /> Jori y Jim Manske nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ==FUNCTIONS OF THE GCC==<br /> The GCC functions include contributing to support and connection throughout the CNVC network, sustaining existing circles and helping to cultivate new circles. We have a goal of having an NVC team in every<br /> country of the world by 2017. Our aspiration is that the GCC and these teams will live the process of NVC as fully as possible.<br /> <br /> The GCC, like all the circles, is both an autonomous and interdependent entity empowered with determining and implementing strategies to fulfill its functionality within mutually determined guidelines. It will be linked to the decision-making in the Leadership Team through membership of its functional leaders and representatives.<br /> <br /> As part of a sociocratic system, communication and power will be both &quot;top down&quot; and &quot;bottom up&quot;. The GCC is one of a few &quot;top level&quot; circles of the LT and the functional leader(s) of the GCC are thus members of the LT which is responsible for the overall functioning of the organizations day-to-day business. Eventually, there will be an elected representative from the GCC as well that will sit on the LT, fulfilling the aspiration of double-linking.<br /> <br /> We hope to have a GCC representative on the LT by the end of 2007. This will require clarity about the structure of the GCC which we are currently working on.<br /> <br /> The leaders of the GCC are Jim and Jori Manske, elected sociocratically by the LT in October, 2006. To communicate via email with Jim and Jori, send mail to nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com; Jim's Skype name is jimjori; Jori's Skype name is jorijim.<br /> <br /> =GCC CONTACT WITH CIRCLES=<br /> =='''South and East Asia/Oceania Circle'''==<br /> ===Minutes of meeting with SEA&amp;O, 3 November 2006===<br /> Hi everyone<br /> <br /> These notes have been posted on our yahoo group as well. If anyone present at the meeting is unhappy with how I have recorded an aspect of the meeting please do let me know. I I have omitted anyone in the apologies please also let me know.<br /> <br /> with care,<br /> Linda<br /> <br /> Minutes for extra-ordinary meeting of SEA&amp;O November 3, 2006<br /> <br /> Present: Linda Rysenbry, Liz Gay, Cate Crombie (initially), Cherie Scott Jim &amp; Jori Manske<br /> <br /> Apologies: Shari Macree, Dorset Campbell Ross, Chris Rajendram, Ron Ngata<br /> <br /> Checking-in:<br /> Linda – Grateful for Liz’s impulse for this meeting and grateful for Jori and Jim’s enthusiasm to get together.<br /> Liz – Hopeful of getting clarity and understanding and looking forward to the call<br /> Cherie – grateful to have managed to get on to the call by phone and happy to be here<br /> Jim – Enjoys community and remembering recently assisting another group in establishing connection and a circle and looking forward to contributing to SEA&amp;O and others. Contributing to community is the ‘juice’ he enjoys.<br /> Jori – met Jim in community and is looking forward to an increase in connection in the Network. Sees the power of creation is in connections we make. Celebrating the restructuring designed in Atlanta is based on functionality rather than geography and therefore more in alignment with sociocracy.<br /> <br /> Exchange around the intention of the meeting during which Jori – expressed intention for the meeting to be about connecting and then seeing how we decide to remain connected ongoingly and Liz – expressed desire for answers to questions she had about the output of the Atlanta meeting.<br /> <br /> Through questions and discussion we:<br /> <br /> · looked at the minutes from Atlanta – in particular the new structure – http://en.nvcwiki.com/images/Minutes_Addendum_v3.pdf<br /> <br /> Jori clarified that the structure is intended and agreements have been made, that support freedom to act by individuals who fulfil leadership roles eg. The Network managers Jim &amp; Jori and Marshall &amp; Valentina in their leadership roles, in circumstances that are extraordinary have the prior agreement of the team/GCC to take action as they see fit.<br /> <br /> Liz sought clarifications and received empathy<br /> <br /> Cherie – expressed that it matters very much to her HOW things are actioned. And not knowing details felt concerned about HOW actions had been taken regarding Liz gay’s membership Of the GCC.<br /> <br /> Jim and Jori shared personal mourning in connection to the above.<br /> <br /> Linda – acknowledged Jori’s personal mourning and expressed desire to hear a collective expression from the GCC (if it was true for them) of mourning. Feeling concerned about there being a ‘group’ that made the decision and now not having a sense of connection to the ‘group’. Empathy around fears connected to groups acting in a way which individuals later have misgivings about. Accepting that all were doing their best at the time; needing safety and to know that something has been harvested that might support us not repeating this.<br /> <br /> Jori – expressed her personal harvest relating to having not taken action when she heard one more word than she would enjoy to hear. Enquired as to whether Linda would enjoy to contact all the GCC members and hear their harvest.<br /> <br /> Checking out<br /> <br /> Cherie – Glad to have taken the time to be present on the call and appreciating the connection having been heard.<br /> <br /> Jim – Pleased with what was accomplished and sensing that we are part way toward where we want to be. Looking forward to the next part. Proposed another meeting be scheduled – all agreed.<br /> <br /> Linda – Feeling light and very happy to have connected to need for harvesting and learning. Appreciating Jim and Jori having taken on the role of Network managers and looking forward to how we grow from here.<br /> <br /> Liz and Jori remained on the line.<br /> <br /> Next meeting date and time to be forwarded when established.</div>

Resources are developed to enable NVC teams to begin and sustain their projects. Teams will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.'''<br /> <br /> An NVC Project Team is composed of at least one CNVC certified trainer and one CNVC supporter with a common aim which is in harmony with the vision of CNVC. Each team develops its own mission and aim(s) inclusively inviting interested community members to participate within their circle. Teams operate with autonomy to fulfill their goals while working interdependently within the guidelines and policies of CNVC. Teams are connected to support mutual learning.<br /> <br /> Individual members of teams cultivate an ever-increasing ability to &quot;live the process&quot; of Nonviolent Communication. As multiple teams emerge within a given area, they work cooperatively together to build life-affirming systems of mutual support, focusing on the vision and mission of CNVC.<br /> <br /> =News=<br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 4 April 2007==<br /> Notes will be posted as soon as possible.<br /> <br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 7 March 2007==<br /> <br /> AGENDA:<br /> <br /> Start 1600 GMT, 5pm Paris, 8am US PT, 9:30pm Pune, 5am NZ <br /> <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS<br /> *Attendees: Jim, Jori, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Isabell Peters, Chris Ranjendram, Dominic Barter, Louise Romain, Laura Liliom, Alison Harper, Towe Widstrand, Shantigarbha, Jerry Koch-Gonzales<br /> *Next meeting date-4 APR, 1600 UT, 5 pm CET, 8 am US PT, 9:30 pm Pune, 5 am NZ<br /> *Acceptance of agenda for today with additions by Alison and Eva<br /> <br /> CONSENT ITEMS:<br /> *a.

Experience that as support; feel hopeful we can fulfill our needs previously met and include some that have not been met. <br /> <br /> <br /> *1758 Closing of Meeting<br /> <br /> ==Notes from teleconference, 28 Nov 2006==<br /> <br /> Greetings friends,<br /> <br /> We've just completed our first teleconference for the new GCC. I'm feeling a mixture of gratitude, inspiration, frustration and regret. The regret is around a typo in the Participant Access number in the email invitation that was sent. The number on the wiki was correct. I remain puzzled as to how this happened since I thought I copied from one to the other.<br /> <br /> *Present on the call today were:<br /> **Linda Rysenbry, SEA&amp;O temporary representative, Sydney, Australia<br /> **Ann Bouritt, French Circle, Geneva, Switzerland<br /> **Jeff Brown, ENACC representative, St. Louis, USA<br /> **Jan, Observer, Idaho, USA<br /> **Jerry Koch-Gonzales, Observer, Massachusetts, USA<br /> **Laura Liliom, Eastern European Circle, Budapest, Hungary<br /> **Chris Rajendram, Sri Lanka<br /> **Kirsten Kristensen, Nordic/Baltic Circle, Denmark, from the Canary Islands<br /> **Jim Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> **Jori Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> <br /> *Regrets: <br /> **Dominic Barter, Brazil, communicated via email, appended to bottom of report<br /> **Ron Ngata, New Zealand, couldn't connect because of typo :(<br /> **Eva Rambala<br /> **Kumarjeev<br /> **Aniruddha<br /> <br /> *Following check-in, we handled the following consent items:<br /> **a. Jori as meeting facilitator today; consent<br /> **b. Jim as notetaker today; consent<br /> **c. Jim and Jori as functional leaders of GCC for one year; consent<br /> **d. Aim of GCC; consent, with addition of &quot;groups will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.&quot;<br /> **e. Nonviolent governance utilizing consent, feedback, linking. consent<br /> **f. Participants on the call today are the initial planning team for today. consent, after clarifying discussion of balance and equality and term of this meeting.<br /> <br /> **Additionally there was consent that the observers could act as full participants for today's meeting.<br /> <br /> {Note on sociocratic consent-generally in sociocracy, if a person does not attend a meeting, their consent is implied. Inclusion is protected because any item consented at one meeting can be brought back up for consideration at a future meeting by anyone withdrawing consent to that item. Thus, Dom's lack of consent, via email, to some agenda items can be re-visited at the next meeting. -Jim}<br /> <br /> *Following the consent round, we began exploring the issues around the systems and structures that could best support the aim of the GCC. Jori shared some ideas that she and Jim generated than asked for responses: <br /> <br /> **What is the GCC? The GCC is a circle that links to the Leadeship Team and the Network; it is a policy building circle focusing on network connections; the policies being tested at both the LT and the network level.<br /> <br /> **We suggest starting with a planning team, initially seeking those in the network who have built successful projects; that are willing to work together to create templates in support of new projects being formed as a vehicle for mutual learning.<br /> <br /> *Main issues identified by the group to consider:<br /> **How to bring the GCC to concrete form<br /> **Wondering about languages, navigating the differences<br /> **Different ways of passing information through the network<br /> **The size of the GCC &quot;body&quot; <br /> **How many levels/layers could be required<br /> **How to determine the makeup of the GCC to best serve the needs of the network<br /> **Managing the number of people involved in a given meeting/call<br /> **How to deal with time zone differences spanning the globe<br /> **Clarifying the relationship of the LT and the GCC<br /> **How to balance including &quot;successful team leaders&quot; with representation from &quot;new countries that have not yet had a successful project&quot;.<br /> **Acknowledging the need for both appointed and elected members of the GCC<br /> **Acknowledgment of financial cost of involvement, wondering about support for those with less resources.<br /> **The need for the system to acknowledge both language differences and geographic differences<br /> <br /> *At this point Jori shared some ideas she and Jim had been discussing for beginning with a system that consisted of four language groups. <br /> **These languages are spoken in virtually every country of the world either as a primary or secondary language. The example is India, where there are many languages, united by a common language of English. In Vietnam, many speak both Vietnamese and French.<br /> **Each of the four languages would have an appointed leader on the GCC and also an elected representative; thus the GCC would be composed of at least 10 people, including Jori and Jim.<br /> **(French, German, English, Spanish/Portuguese/Italian [Romance languages other than French])<br /> <br /> *Reactions:<br /> **Excitement about focusing on 4 language groups that cover virtually every country as a starting place <br /> **Need to Consider translation and interpretation strategies<br /> **Utilize written word for clarity, ease of interpretation, and spanning time zones, eg Dom's ideas around &quot;soc-e-ocracy&quot;.<br /> **Suggest keep circle size of 12 or less<br /> **Some worry about difficulty between understanding in Sp/Portuguese circle<br /> **Some worry that language differences can stimulate conflict...<br /> **Some concern that language is subsidiary to geography...how to deal with people who share geography but not language, eg Quebec<br /> **Some concern for maintaining geographic representation for policy roles and appreciation for the simplicity of language groups<br /> **Concern for maintaining global awareness<br /> **Geography &quot;primary&quot; over language for global overview and local connection?<br /> **Wants A GCC small enough to function yet insures inclusion through connection to the larger network<br /> <br /> <br /> Closing Round:<br /> <br /> Linda: Glad to be a part of the call; values being aware and connected to some of the issues; enjoyed picture-making; looking for clarity re planning team and gcc; seeing important to begin with knowledge things will be refined/changed.<br /> <br /> Ann: In touch with the complexity of the matter, enriched by reactions of others; our experience in the French speaking circle is that the more organized we get, the more we see people from other areas wanting to connect and get in touch; its important to focus on starting, not focus as much on the how of starting; grateful for presence of everyone and for Jori's facilitation.<br /> <br /> Jeff: Energized, excited, glad that Kirsten and Chris could join the call; excited about the potential to get people connected; the most excitement about organizing by language; could facilitate cross-cultural connection if we were to organize it that way; happy we're having the conversation and moving forward; deep trust in the NVC process and that whatever we come up with will serve the network.<br /> <br /> Jan: Admiring and celebrating willingness to hold and consider issues; more aware now of the complexity; grateful; hopeful; beginning is important-to try something and have a &quot;reconsideration point&quot; chosen to check in if &quot;it&quot; is working.<br /> <br /> Jerry: Pleased with care and consideration and some sense of motion; enjoyed inclusion of observers; concerned about inclusion of observers for efficiency of future meetings; not clear yet on who holds decision-making responsibility.<br /> <br /> Laura: (No check-out, lost connection?)Oh, I got kicked off at the end closing round.<br /> But I would like to then give final feedback by email:<br /> <br /> I enjoyed being part of our call very much, I am at this moment suppressed by the weight of the complexity of this task that is ahead of us now, and also would like to thank Jori for this – to me – wonderful facilitation. I feel a deep appreciation to her facilitation talent and skills. I am really impressed.<br /> <br /> I felt the conference call was efficient, although we did not cover the whole agenda.<br /> I celebrate that I was able to be part of this call now and was able to help one person to join the call and also that I had this time to connect with NVC people from all around the world.<br /> <br /> Kirsten: (No check-out, lost connection?)<br /> <br /> Chris: Enjoyed joining even if late; I understand now what was blocking me from the conversation-we are killing each other (in Sri Lanka) because of the language. I'd like another way of uniting us and getting a central circle functioning; more clarity; grateful for inclusion; glad to have heard voices.<br /> <br /> Jori: Like the increased creativity and grateful for all the feedback<br /> <br /> Jim: Excited about the connection; regret about the typo that may have prevented Ron, Eva, Aniruddha, and Kumarjeev from participating and delayed Chris' connection; grateful to have the support of the folks who participated today; moving closer to clarity about structure and systemic issues; hungry for feedback about other picture forming agenda item; suggest we try using email and the wiki to explore it.<br /> <br /> Meeting was closed after 2 hours.<br /> <br /> ==Request from the notetaker:==<br /> I'd like to invite folks to edit their closing round comments for clarity and brevity. I'd also enjoy you clarifying any issues in the picture-forming if they do not reflect your thoughts, feelings, or needs, or if fresh insights arise. My preference is that you use the wiki; if you are not yet comfortable with the wiki, you can email me your edits and I will edit for you.<br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted with joy and gratitude,<br /> <br /> Jim Manske<br /> nvctrainer@gmail.com<br /> <br /> (PS Additions receeived via email from Dominic Barter are below)<br /> <br /> Dear all,<br /> <br /> I am disappointed to miss this meeting, as I already had teaching activities planned for this time. <br /> <br /> I am eager to connect with you all and test the decision making abilities of this group configured in this way. I continue to experience much energy for co-creating CNVC, after almost 4 years of participation in committees and meetings of this sort, tempered by many, growing doubts about the directions taken during this time.<br /> <br /> One of them is the lack of any current mechanism for participating except by being present at this call, something I imagine many - of not all - of us will experience at some point. So, with this e-mail, I hope to create such a mechanism:<br /> <br /> Please see - and voice/include/consider and respond - to the comments I make after each item.<br /> <br /> Please also add to the agenda discussion on the development of a time-scale for selecting meeting agendas (how many days before a meeting they are proposed, how each participant may contribute to them (wiki, etc.)).<br /> <br /> Or - why not? - let me know if this would not be fun.<br /> <br /> <br /> On 27 Nov 2006, at 16:44, Jim Manske wrote:<br /> <br /> Time: 1300 UT/GMT, 8 am US EST, 2pm Central Europe Time (CET), 6:30pm India Time<br /> <br /> Please canvass the time zones we are all mostly in most of the time and include all at th top of each agenda.<br /> <br /> Please propose a way for making participation relatively equally economically viable for all participants (can CNVC provide the Skype credits for those living in high cost phone countries to dial in this way?

CLOSING ROUND Facilitated by Jori<br /> - Observer Feedback (15 minutes)<br /> -Feedback on meeting effectiveness + Future Agenda items<br /> - What’s alive now? Celebrations and Mournings (15 minutes)<br /> <br /> I'm feeling engaged and curious, having met my need for participation and creativity and noticing a tingling unmet need for connection.<br /> Would anyone enjoy sharing a written response to this e-mail and / or the voice meeting?<br /> <br /> 1500 Closing of Meeting <br /> <br /> Love to all,<br /> <br /> Dominic<br /> <br /> ==UK Sociocratic Circle==<br /> On Nov 22, 2006, Jori and Jim joined the UK Sociocratic Circle for a teleconference.<br /> <br /> ==Eastern Europe==<br /> Monica Reu writes: &quot;The Eastern European Network had its monthly teleconference meeting Nov 10, 2006 and following a sociocratic election process Laura Liliom from Hungary was elected to represent our network in the teleconference on the 28th of November.&quot;<br /> <br /> ==ENACC==<br /> *[[CIA2006 Session Summary]]<br /> On Nov 5, 2006, Jim and Jori participated in a call of the ENACC (The NVC English-speaking North American Coordinating Circle).<br /> <br /> ==S&amp;EA/O==<br /> *[[S&amp;EA/O Sociocratic Circle]]<br /> On Nov 2, 2006, Jim and Jori participated in a call of the S&amp;EA/O (South and East Asia/Oceania Circle).<br /> <br /> The [[S&amp;EA/O Sociocratic Circle| S&amp;EA/O Circle]] hosted [[A Gathering of Leaders in NVC|A 2006 NVC Leadership event]], and is considering one in 2007.<br /> <br /> ==INVITATION / EINLADUNG / L'INVITATION/INVITACION==<br /> <br /> ===INVITATION===<br /> Dear Community,<br /> <br /> We invite you to consider how you would like to be linked to others practicing NVC in your local area and to the broader NVC community. Would you like to contribute to this connectivity?<br /> <br /> As sociocratically selected leaders of the new GCC for the coordination of NVC communities worldwide, I am delighted that Jim and I will working together to support the connectivity that could fuel global social transformation through the growth of NVC consciousness. We are committed to the fulfillment of the vision of having NVC teams in every country in the world. We will be working to help build teams in areas that do not have them, and learning from and supporting connection with existing NVC groups. This is one of the major areas of functionality identified for CNVC at the recent Board meeting.<br /> <br /> We will be meeting later this month with the representatives previously nominated by existing circles to explore the structures and strategies that will provide representation and mutual connection that will support us all in fulfilling our shared vision of the growth of compassionate giving, joy, and nonviolence in the world.<br /> <br /> We welcome your feedback about what support you would like in building your community, or in healing any lack of connection currently for you in connecting with CNVC or others practicing NVC in your community.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight,<br /> <br /> Jori and Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===EINLADUNG===<br /> <br /> Liebe Gemeinschaft in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation,<br /> <br /> Wir laden euch alle ein, darüber nachzudenken, in welcher Art ihr verbunden sein wollt mit Menschen, die die Gewaltfreie Kommunikation leben, sowohl in eurer Region und auch in einem weiter gefassten Rahmen der NVC-Gemeinschaft.<br /> Möchtet ihr zu dieser Verbundenheit beitragen?<br /> <br /> Als soziokratisch gewählte Leiter des neu eingerichteten GCC (Weltweiter Koordinierungsrat), der die Arbeit der NVC-Gemeinschaften weltweit koordinieren soll, bin ich froh darüber, dass Jim und ich zusammenarbeiten werden, um die Verbundenheit zu unterstützen, die zu einem Wachsen des Bewusstseins für gewaltfreie Kommunikation beiträgt und dadurch die globale soziale Transformation vorantreibt.<br /> <br /> Wir haben den Willen, an der Erfüllung unserer Vision zu arbeiten, Teams in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation in jedem Land der Welt zu haben. Wir werden unterstützend beim Aufbau von Teams mitwirken in Gegenden, wo noch keine existieren. Dabei werden wir die Verbindung zu den Teams unterstützen, die es bereits gibt und von ihnen lernen. Dies ist eine der Hauptaufgaben für das CNVC, wie wir auf dem letzten Board Meeting herausgefunden haben.<br /> <br /> In Laufe dieses Monats werden wir uns mit den kürzlich von den bereits arbeitenden Kreisen aufgestellten Repräsentanten treffen, um Strukturen und Strategien zu untersuchen, die eine Repräsentation und gegenseitige Verbindung leisten können. <br /> Von dieser Repräsentation und gegenseitigen Verbindung erhoffen wir uns eine breite Unterstützung, um diese uns gemeinsame Vision von wachsendem Mitgefühl, Geben und Nehmen von Herzen, Freude und Gewaltfreiheit in der Welt, mehr und mehr ins Leben holen zu können.<br /> <br /> Wir freuen uns über Rückmeldungen, welche Art von Unterstützung ihr braucht, um eure Gemeinschaft aufzubauen oder eine momentan fehlende Verbindung zu heilen, und um euch mit dem CNVC und anderen &quot;gewaltfrei&quot; Aktiven in eurer Gemeinschaft zu verbinden.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight, (Etwa: Mit Wärme und Freude)<br /> <br /> Jori und Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===L'INVITATION===<br /> <br /> Cher(chère) membre de la Communauté CNV,<br /> <br /> Ce message est une invitation à réfléchir à la manière dont vous souhaiteriez être reliés aux autres personnes pratiquant la CNV dans votre région ou, plus largement, dans le monde. Voulez-vous contribuer à la mise en place de liens entre nous?<br /> <br /> Jim et moi avons été élus sociocratiquement directeurs du nouveau Cercle Général de Coordination chargé de coordonner les communautés CNV de par le monde. Je me réjouis de nous voir travailler ensemble au service d'une telle mise en lien qui, grâce à la conscience CNV, contribuera au changement social dans le monde. Nous nous sommes engagés à réaliser la vision consistant à mettre en place des équipes CNV dans tous les pays du monde. Nous aiderons à la création d'équipes dans les régions où elles sont inexistantes. Nous nous inspirerons et encouragerons les liens déjà établis entre les groupes CNV existants. Il s'agit d'une des missions principales confiées au Centre pour la CNV lors de la dernière réunion du Board.<br /> <br /> Dans le courant de ce mois, nous rencontrerons les représentants préalablement désignés par les cercles existants afin d'explorer les structures et les stratégies propres à assurer la représentation et le niveau d'échange qui nous aideront tous à réaliser notre vision commune: voir la bienveillance, la joie et la non-violence grandir dans le monde.<br /> <br /> Nous serions ravis de savoir comment nous pouvons vous aider à créer votre communauté ou à remédier à un éventuel manque d'échange avec le Centre pour la CNV ou avec d'autres personnes pratiquant la CNV autour de vous. <br /> <br /> Très chaleureusement, au plaisir de vous lire,<br /> <br /> Jori et Jim<br /> <br /> nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===INVITACION===<br /> <br /> Estimada Comunidad,<br /> <br /> Los invitamos a que consideren la forma en que quisieran estar ligados a las otras personas practicantes de la Comunicación No Violenta en su área local y en la comunidad más amplia de CNV. Les gustaría contribuir con esta conectividad?<br /> <br /> Como líderes sociocraticamente elegidos de la nueva GCC para la coordinación de las comunidades CNV en todo el mundo, estoy complacido de que Jim y yo estemos trabajando para apoyar la conectividad que podría fortalecer la transformación social a través del crecimiento de conciencia de la CNV.<br /> <br /> Estamos comprometidos con alcanzar nuestra visión de tener equipos de CNV en cada país del mundo. Estaremos trabajando para ayudar a crear nuevos equipos de trabajo en áreas donde éstos no existen y, por otro lado, aprender y apoyar la conexión con los grupos existentes. Esta es una de las áreas de mayor funcionalidad identificadas por el CCNV en su más reciente reunión de junta directiva. <br /> <br /> Nos estaremos reuniendo a fin de mes con los representantes nominados anteriormente por los círculos existentes con el fin de explorar las estructuras y las estrategias que proveerán la conexión y representación mutua que nos ayudarían a alcanzar una mayor visión de expansión de la alegría, el dar compasivamente y la no violencia en el mundo.<br /> <br /> Aceptamos cualquier sugerencia o recomendación de la forma en que le gustaría recibir nuestro apoyo para la creación, el fortalecimiento de su comunidad o bien cualquier impedimento de comunicación con el CCNV. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Con cariño y felicidad, <br /> <br /> Jori y Jim Manske nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ==FUNCTIONS OF THE GCC==<br /> The GCC functions include contributing to support and connection throughout the CNVC network, sustaining existing circles and helping to cultivate new circles. We have a goal of having an NVC team in every<br /> country of the world by 2017. Our aspiration is that the GCC and these teams will live the process of NVC as fully as possible.<br /> <br /> The GCC, like all the circles, is both an autonomous and interdependent entity empowered with determining and implementing strategies to fulfill its functionality within mutually determined guidelines. It will be linked to the decision-making in the Leadership Team through membership of its functional leaders and representatives.<br /> <br /> As part of a sociocratic system, communication and power will be both &quot;top down&quot; and &quot;bottom up&quot;. The GCC is one of a few &quot;top level&quot; circles of the LT and the functional leader(s) of the GCC are thus members of the LT which is responsible for the overall functioning of the organizations day-to-day business. Eventually, there will be an elected representative from the GCC as well that will sit on the LT, fulfilling the aspiration of double-linking.<br /> <br /> We hope to have a GCC representative on the LT by the end of 2007. This will require clarity about the structure of the GCC which we are currently working on.<br /> <br /> The leaders of the GCC are Jim and Jori Manske, elected sociocratically by the LT in October, 2006. To communicate via email with Jim and Jori, send mail to nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com; Jim's Skype name is jimjori; Jori's Skype name is jorijim.<br /> <br /> =GCC CONTACT WITH CIRCLES=<br /> =='''South and East Asia/Oceania Circle'''==<br /> ===Minutes of meeting with SEA&amp;O, 3 November 2006===<br /> Hi everyone<br /> <br /> These notes have been posted on our yahoo group as well. If anyone present at the meeting is unhappy with how I have recorded an aspect of the meeting please do let me know. I I have omitted anyone in the apologies please also let me know.<br /> <br /> with care,<br /> Linda<br /> <br /> Minutes for extra-ordinary meeting of SEA&amp;O November 3, 2006<br /> <br /> Present: Linda Rysenbry, Liz Gay, Cate Crombie (initially), Cherie Scott Jim &amp; Jori Manske<br /> <br /> Apologies: Shari Macree, Dorset Campbell Ross, Chris Rajendram, Ron Ngata<br /> <br /> Checking-in:<br /> Linda – Grateful for Liz’s impulse for this meeting and grateful for Jori and Jim’s enthusiasm to get together.<br /> Liz – Hopeful of getting clarity and understanding and looking forward to the call<br /> Cherie – grateful to have managed to get on to the call by phone and happy to be here<br /> Jim – Enjoys community and remembering recently assisting another group in establishing connection and a circle and looking forward to contributing to SEA&amp;O and others. Contributing to community is the ‘juice’ he enjoys.<br /> Jori – met Jim in community and is looking forward to an increase in connection in the Network. Sees the power of creation is in connections we make. Celebrating the restructuring designed in Atlanta is based on functionality rather than geography and therefore more in alignment with sociocracy.<br /> <br /> Exchange around the intention of the meeting during which Jori – expressed intention for the meeting to be about connecting and then seeing how we decide to remain connected ongoingly and Liz – expressed desire for answers to questions she had about the output of the Atlanta meeting.<br /> <br /> Through questions and discussion we:<br /> <br /> · looked at the minutes from Atlanta – in particular the new structure – http://en.nvcwiki.com/images/Minutes_Addendum_v3.pdf<br /> <br /> Jori clarified that the structure is intended and agreements have been made, that support freedom to act by individuals who fulfil leadership roles eg. The Network managers Jim &amp; Jori and Marshall &amp; Valentina in their leadership roles, in circumstances that are extraordinary have the prior agreement of the team/GCC to take action as they see fit.<br /> <br /> Liz sought clarifications and received empathy<br /> <br /> Cherie – expressed that it matters very much to her HOW things are actioned. And not knowing details felt concerned about HOW actions had been taken regarding Liz gay’s membership Of the GCC.<br /> <br /> Jim and Jori shared personal mourning in connection to the above.<br /> <br /> Linda – acknowledged Jori’s personal mourning and expressed desire to hear a collective expression from the GCC (if it was true for them) of mourning. Feeling concerned about there being a ‘group’ that made the decision and now not having a sense of connection to the ‘group’. Empathy around fears connected to groups acting in a way which individuals later have misgivings about. Accepting that all were doing their best at the time; needing safety and to know that something has been harvested that might support us not repeating this.<br /> <br /> Jori – expressed her personal harvest relating to having not taken action when she heard one more word than she would enjoy to hear. Enquired as to whether Linda would enjoy to contact all the GCC members and hear their harvest.<br /> <br /> Checking out<br /> <br /> Cherie – Glad to have taken the time to be present on the call and appreciating the connection having been heard.<br /> <br /> Jim – Pleased with what was accomplished and sensing that we are part way toward where we want to be. Looking forward to the next part. Proposed another meeting be scheduled – all agreed.<br /> <br /> Linda – Feeling light and very happy to have connected to need for harvesting and learning. Appreciating Jim and Jori having taken on the role of Network managers and looking forward to how we grow from here.<br /> <br /> Liz and Jori remained on the line.<br /> <br /> Next meeting date and time to be forwarded when established.</div>

Resources are developed to enable NVC teams to begin and sustain their projects. Teams will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.'''<br /> <br /> An NVC Project Team is composed of at least one CNVC certified trainer and one CNVC supporter with a common aim which is in harmony with the vision of CNVC. Each team develops its own mission and aim(s) inclusively inviting interested community members to participate within their circle. Teams operate with autonomy to fulfill their goals while working interdependently within the guidelines and policies of CNVC. Teams are connected to support mutual learning.<br /> <br /> Individual members of teams cultivate an ever-increasing ability to &quot;live the process&quot; of Nonviolent Communication. As multiple teams emerge within a given area, they work cooperatively together to build life-affirming systems of mutual support, focusing on the vision and mission of CNVC.<br /> <br /> =News=<br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 4 April 2007==<br /> Notes will be posted as soon as possible.<br /> <br /> ==Notes from Teleconference 7 March 2007==<br /> <br /> AGENDA:<br /> <br /> Start 1600 GMT, 5pm Paris, 8am US PT, 9:30pm Pune, 5am NZ <br /> <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS<br /> *Attendees: Jim, Jori, Eva Rambala, Anne Bouritt, Isabell Peters, Chris Ranjendram, Dominic Barter, Louise Romain, Laura Liliom, Alison Harper, Towe Widstrand, Shantigarbha, Jerry Koch-Gonzales<br /> *Next meeting date-4 APR, 1600 UT, 5 pm CET, 8 am US PT, 9:30 pm Pune, 5 am NZ<br /> *Acceptance of agenda for today with additions by Alison and Eva<br /> <br /> CONSENT ITEMS:<br /> *a.

I'm feeling a mixture of gratitude, inspiration, frustration and regret. The regret is around a typo in the Participant Access number in the email invitation that was sent. The number on the wiki was correct. I remain puzzled as to how this happened since I thought I copied from one to the other.<br /> <br /> *Present on the call today were:<br /> **Linda Rysenbry, SEA&amp;O temporary representative, Sydney, Australia<br /> **Ann Bouritt, French Circle, Geneva, Switzerland<br /> **Jeff Brown, ENACC representative, St. Louis, USA<br /> **Jan, Observer, Idaho, USA<br /> **Jerry Koch-Gonzales, Observer, Massachusetts, USA<br /> **Laura Liliom, Eastern European Circle, Budapest, Hungary<br /> **Chris Rajendram, Sri Lanka<br /> **Kirsten Kristensen, Nordic/Baltic Circle, Denmark, from the Canary Islands<br /> **Jim Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> **Jori Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> <br /> *Regrets: <br /> **Dominic Barter, Brazil, communicated via email, appended to bottom of report<br /> **Ron Ngata, New Zealand, couldn't connect because of typo :(<br /> **Eva Rambala<br /> **Kumarjeev<br /> **Aniruddha<br /> <br /> *Following check-in, we handled the following consent items:<br /> **a. Jori as meeting facilitator today; consent<br /> **b. Jim as notetaker today; consent<br /> **c. Jim and Jori as functional leaders of GCC for one year; consent<br /> **d. Aim of GCC; consent, with addition of &quot;groups will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.&quot;<br /> **e. Nonviolent governance utilizing consent, feedback, linking. consent<br /> **f. Participants on the call today are the initial planning team for today. consent, after clarifying discussion of balance and equality and term of this meeting.<br /> <br /> **Additionally there was consent that the observers could act as full participants for today's meeting.<br /> <br /> {Note on sociocratic consent-generally in sociocracy, if a person does not attend a meeting, their consent is implied. Inclusion is protected because any item consented at one meeting can be brought back up for consideration at a future meeting by anyone withdrawing consent to that item. Thus, Dom's lack of consent, via email, to some agenda items can be re-visited at the next meeting. -Jim}<br /> <br /> *Following the consent round, we began exploring the issues around the systems and structures that could best support the aim of the GCC. Jori shared some ideas that she and Jim generated than asked for responses: <br /> <br /> **What is the GCC? The GCC is a circle that links to the Leadeship Team and the Network; it is a policy building circle focusing on network connections; the policies being tested at both the LT and the network level.<br /> <br /> **We suggest starting with a planning team, initially seeking those in the network who have built successful projects; that are willing to work together to create templates in support of new projects being formed as a vehicle for mutual learning.<br /> <br /> *Main issues identified by the group to consider:<br /> **How to bring the GCC to concrete form<br /> **Wondering about languages, navigating the differences<br /> **Different ways of passing information through the network<br /> **The size of the GCC &quot;body&quot; <br /> **How many levels/layers could be required<br /> **How to determine the makeup of the GCC to best serve the needs of the network<br /> **Managing the number of people involved in a given meeting/call<br /> **How to deal with time zone differences spanning the globe<br /> **Clarifying the relationship of the LT and the GCC<br /> **How to balance including &quot;successful team leaders&quot; with representation from &quot;new countries that have not yet had a successful project&quot;.<br /> **Acknowledging the need for both appointed and elected members of the GCC<br /> **Acknowledgment of financial cost of involvement, wondering about support for those with less resources.<br /> **The need for the system to acknowledge both language differences and geographic differences<br /> <br /> *At this point Jori shared some ideas she and Jim had been discussing for beginning with a system that consisted of four language groups. <br /> **These languages are spoken in virtually every country of the world either as a primary or secondary language. The example is India, where there are many languages, united by a common language of English.

I feel a deep appreciation to her facilitation talent and skills. I am really impressed.<br /> <br /> I felt the conference call was efficient, although we did not cover the whole agenda.<br /> I celebrate that I was able to be part of this call now and was able to help one person to join the call and also that I had this time to connect with NVC people from all around the world.<br /> <br /> Kirsten: (No check-out, lost connection?)<br /> <br /> Chris: Enjoyed joining even if late; I understand now what was blocking me from the conversation-we are killing each other (in Sri Lanka) because of the language. I'd like another way of uniting us and getting a central circle functioning; more clarity; grateful for inclusion; glad to have heard voices.<br /> <br /> Jori: Like the increased creativity and grateful for all the feedback<br /> <br /> Jim: Excited about the connection; regret about the typo that may have prevented Ron, Eva, Aniruddha, and Kumarjeev from participating and delayed Chris' connection; grateful to have the support of the folks who participated today; moving closer to clarity about structure and systemic issues; hungry for feedback about other picture forming agenda item; suggest we try using email and the wiki to explore it.<br /> <br /> Meeting was closed after 2 hours.<br /> <br /> ==Request from the notetaker:==<br /> I'd like to invite folks to edit their closing round comments for clarity and brevity. I'd also enjoy you clarifying any issues in the picture-forming if they do not reflect your thoughts, feelings, or needs, or if fresh insights arise. My preference is that you use the wiki; if you are not yet comfortable with the wiki, you can email me your edits and I will edit for you.<br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted with joy and gratitude,<br /> <br /> Jim Manske<br /> nvctrainer@gmail.com<br /> <br /> (PS Additions receeived via email from Dominic Barter are below)<br /> <br /> Dear all,<br /> <br /> I am disappointed to miss this meeting, as I already had teaching activities planned for this time. <br /> <br /> I am eager to connect with you all and test the decision making abilities of this group configured in this way. I continue to experience much energy for co-creating CNVC, after almost 4 years of participation in committees and meetings of this sort, tempered by many, growing doubts about the directions taken during this time.<br /> <br /> One of them is the lack of any current mechanism for participating except by being present at this call, something I imagine many - of not all - of us will experience at some point. So, with this e-mail, I hope to create such a mechanism:<br /> <br /> Please see - and voice/include/consider and respond - to the comments I make after each item.<br /> <br /> Please also add to the agenda discussion on the development of a time-scale for selecting meeting agendas (how many days before a meeting they are proposed, how each participant may contribute to them (wiki, etc.)).<br /> <br /> Or - why not? - let me know if this would not be fun.<br /> <br /> <br /> On 27 Nov 2006, at 16:44, Jim Manske wrote:<br /> <br /> Time: 1300 UT/GMT, 8 am US EST, 2pm Central Europe Time (CET), 6:30pm India Time<br /> <br /> Please canvass the time zones we are all mostly in most of the time and include all at th top of each agenda.<br /> <br /> Please propose a way for making participation relatively equally economically viable for all participants (can CNVC provide the Skype credits for those living in high cost phone countries to dial in this way?

Would you like to contribute to this connectivity?<br /> <br /> As sociocratically selected leaders of the new GCC for the coordination of NVC communities worldwide, I am delighted that Jim and I will working together to support the connectivity that could fuel global social transformation through the growth of NVC consciousness. We are committed to the fulfillment of the vision of having NVC teams in every country in the world. We will be working to help build teams in areas that do not have them, and learning from and supporting connection with existing NVC groups. This is one of the major areas of functionality identified for CNVC at the recent Board meeting.<br /> <br /> We will be meeting later this month with the representatives previously nominated by existing circles to explore the structures and strategies that will provide representation and mutual connection that will support us all in fulfilling our shared vision of the growth of compassionate giving, joy, and nonviolence in the world.<br /> <br /> We welcome your feedback about what support you would like in building your community, or in healing any lack of connection currently for you in connecting with CNVC or others practicing NVC in your community.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight,<br /> <br /> Jori and Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===EINLADUNG===<br /> <br /> Liebe Gemeinschaft in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation,<br /> <br /> Wir laden euch alle ein, darüber nachzudenken, in welcher Art ihr verbunden sein wollt mit Menschen, die die Gewaltfreie Kommunikation leben, sowohl in eurer Region und auch in einem weiter gefassten Rahmen der NVC-Gemeinschaft.<br /> Möchtet ihr zu dieser Verbundenheit beitragen?<br /> <br /> Als soziokratisch gewählte Leiter des neu eingerichteten GCC (Weltweiter Koordinierungsrat), der die Arbeit der NVC-Gemeinschaften weltweit koordinieren soll, bin ich froh darüber, dass Jim und ich zusammenarbeiten werden, um die Verbundenheit zu unterstützen, die zu einem Wachsen des Bewusstseins für gewaltfreie Kommunikation beiträgt und dadurch die globale soziale Transformation vorantreibt.<br /> <br /> Wir haben den Willen, an der Erfüllung unserer Vision zu arbeiten, Teams in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation in jedem Land der Welt zu haben. Wir werden unterstützend beim Aufbau von Teams mitwirken in Gegenden, wo noch keine existieren. Dabei werden wir die Verbindung zu den Teams unterstützen, die es bereits gibt und von ihnen lernen. Dies ist eine der Hauptaufgaben für das CNVC, wie wir auf dem letzten Board Meeting herausgefunden haben.<br /> <br /> In Laufe dieses Monats werden wir uns mit den kürzlich von den bereits arbeitenden Kreisen aufgestellten Repräsentanten treffen, um Strukturen und Strategien zu untersuchen, die eine Repräsentation und gegenseitige Verbindung leisten können. <br /> Von dieser Repräsentation und gegenseitigen Verbindung erhoffen wir uns eine breite Unterstützung, um diese uns gemeinsame Vision von wachsendem Mitgefühl, Geben und Nehmen von Herzen, Freude und Gewaltfreiheit in der Welt, mehr und mehr ins Leben holen zu können.<br /> <br /> Wir freuen uns über Rückmeldungen, welche Art von Unterstützung ihr braucht, um eure Gemeinschaft aufzubauen oder eine momentan fehlende Verbindung zu heilen, und um euch mit dem CNVC und anderen &quot;gewaltfrei&quot; Aktiven in eurer Gemeinschaft zu verbinden.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight, (Etwa: Mit Wärme und Freude)<br /> <br /> Jori und Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===L'INVITATION===<br /> <br /> Cher(chère) membre de la Communauté CNV,<br /> <br /> Ce message est une invitation à réfléchir à la manière dont vous souhaiteriez être reliés aux autres personnes pratiquant la CNV dans votre région ou, plus largement, dans le monde. Voulez-vous contribuer à la mise en place de liens entre nous?<br /> <br /> Jim et moi avons été élus sociocratiquement directeurs du nouveau Cercle Général de Coordination chargé de coordonner les communautés CNV de par le monde. Je me réjouis de nous voir travailler ensemble au service d'une telle mise en lien qui, grâce à la conscience CNV, contribuera au changement social dans le monde. Nous nous sommes engagés à réaliser la vision consistant à mettre en place des équipes CNV dans tous les pays du monde. Nous aiderons à la création d'équipes dans les régions où elles sont inexistantes. Nous nous inspirerons et encouragerons les liens déjà établis entre les groupes CNV existants. Il s'agit d'une des missions principales confiées au Centre pour la CNV lors de la dernière réunion du Board.<br /> <br /> Dans le courant de ce mois, nous rencontrerons les représentants préalablement désignés par les cercles existants afin d'explorer les structures et les stratégies propres à assurer la représentation et le niveau d'échange qui nous aideront tous à réaliser notre vision commune: voir la bienveillance, la joie et la non-violence grandir dans le monde.<br /> <br /> Nous serions ravis de savoir comment nous pouvons vous aider à créer votre communauté ou à remédier à un éventuel manque d'échange avec le Centre pour la CNV ou avec d'autres personnes pratiquant la CNV autour de vous. <br /> <br /> Très chaleureusement, au plaisir de vous lire,<br /> <br /> Jori et Jim<br /> <br /> nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===INVITACION===<br /> <br /> Estimada Comunidad,<br /> <br /> Los invitamos a que consideren la forma en que quisieran estar ligados a las otras personas practicantes de la Comunicación No Violenta en su área local y en la comunidad más amplia de CNV. Les gustaría contribuir con esta conectividad?<br /> <br /> Como líderes sociocraticamente elegidos de la nueva GCC para la coordinación de las comunidades CNV en todo el mundo, estoy complacido de que Jim y yo estemos trabajando para apoyar la conectividad que podría fortalecer la transformación social a través del crecimiento de conciencia de la CNV.<br /> <br /> Estamos comprometidos con alcanzar nuestra visión de tener equipos de CNV en cada país del mundo. Estaremos trabajando para ayudar a crear nuevos equipos de trabajo en áreas donde éstos no existen y, por otro lado, aprender y apoyar la conexión con los grupos existentes. Esta es una de las áreas de mayor funcionalidad identificadas por el CCNV en su más reciente reunión de junta directiva. <br /> <br /> Nos estaremos reuniendo a fin de mes con los representantes nominados anteriormente por los círculos existentes con el fin de explorar las estructuras y las estrategias que proveerán la conexión y representación mutua que nos ayudarían a alcanzar una mayor visión de expansión de la alegría, el dar compasivamente y la no violencia en el mundo.<br /> <br /> Aceptamos cualquier sugerencia o recomendación de la forma en que le gustaría recibir nuestro apoyo para la creación, el fortalecimiento de su comunidad o bien cualquier impedimento de comunicación con el CCNV. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Con cariño y felicidad, <br /> <br /> Jori y Jim Manske nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ==FUNCTIONS OF THE GCC==<br /> The GCC functions include contributing to support and connection throughout the CNVC network, sustaining existing circles and helping to cultivate new circles. We have a goal of having an NVC team in every<br /> country of the world by 2017. Our aspiration is that the GCC and these teams will live the process of NVC as fully as possible.<br /> <br /> The GCC, like all the circles, is both an autonomous and interdependent entity empowered with determining and implementing strategies to fulfill its functionality within mutually determined guidelines. It will be linked to the decision-making in the Leadership Team through membership of its functional leaders and representatives.<br /> <br /> As part of a sociocratic system, communication and power will be both &quot;top down&quot; and &quot;bottom up&quot;. The GCC is one of a few &quot;top level&quot; circles of the LT and the functional leader(s) of the GCC are thus members of the LT which is responsible for the overall functioning of the organizations day-to-day business. Eventually, there will be an elected representative from the GCC as well that will sit on the LT, fulfilling the aspiration of double-linking.<br /> <br /> We hope to have a GCC representative on the LT by the end of 2007. This will require clarity about the structure of the GCC which we are currently working on.<br /> <br /> The leaders of the GCC are Jim and Jori Manske, elected sociocratically by the LT in October, 2006. To communicate via email with Jim and Jori, send mail to nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com; Jim's Skype name is jimjori; Jori's Skype name is jorijim.<br /> <br /> =GCC CONTACT WITH CIRCLES=<br /> =='''South and East Asia/Oceania Circle'''==<br /> ===Minutes of meeting with SEA&amp;O, 3 November 2006===<br /> Hi everyone<br /> <br /> These notes have been posted on our yahoo group as well. If anyone present at the meeting is unhappy with how I have recorded an aspect of the meeting please do let me know. I I have omitted anyone in the apologies please also let me know.<br /> <br /> with care,<br /> Linda<br /> <br /> Minutes for extra-ordinary meeting of SEA&amp;O November 3, 2006<br /> <br /> Present: Linda Rysenbry, Liz Gay, Cate Crombie (initially), Cherie Scott Jim &amp; Jori Manske<br /> <br /> Apologies: Shari Macree, Dorset Campbell Ross, Chris Rajendram, Ron Ngata<br /> <br /> Checking-in:<br /> Linda – Grateful for Liz’s impulse for this meeting and grateful for Jori and Jim’s enthusiasm to get together.<br /> Liz – Hopeful of getting clarity and understanding and looking forward to the call<br /> Cherie – grateful to have managed to get on to the call by phone and happy to be here<br /> Jim – Enjoys community and remembering recently assisting another group in establishing connection and a circle and looking forward to contributing to SEA&amp;O and others. Contributing to community is the ‘juice’ he enjoys.<br /> Jori – met Jim in community and is looking forward to an increase in connection in the Network. Sees the power of creation is in connections we make. Celebrating the restructuring designed in Atlanta is based on functionality rather than geography and therefore more in alignment with sociocracy.<br /> <br /> Exchange around the intention of the meeting during which Jori – expressed intention for the meeting to be about connecting and then seeing how we decide to remain connected ongoingly and Liz – expressed desire for answers to questions she had about the output of the Atlanta meeting.<br /> <br /> Through questions and discussion we:<br /> <br /> · looked at the minutes from Atlanta – in particular the new structure – http://en.nvcwiki.com/images/Minutes_Addendum_v3.pdf<br /> <br /> Jori clarified that the structure is intended and agreements have been made, that support freedom to act by individuals who fulfil leadership roles eg. The Network managers Jim &amp; Jori and Marshall &amp; Valentina in their leadership roles, in circumstances that are extraordinary have the prior agreement of the team/GCC to take action as they see fit.<br /> <br /> Liz sought clarifications and received empathy<br /> <br /> Cherie – expressed that it matters very much to her HOW things are actioned. And not knowing details felt concerned about HOW actions had been taken regarding Liz gay’s membership Of the GCC.<br /> <br /> Jim and Jori shared personal mourning in connection to the above.<br /> <br /> Linda – acknowledged Jori’s personal mourning and expressed desire to hear a collective expression from the GCC (if it was true for them) of mourning. Feeling concerned about there being a ‘group’ that made the decision and now not having a sense of connection to the ‘group’. Empathy around fears connected to groups acting in a way which individuals later have misgivings about. Accepting that all were doing their best at the time; needing safety and to know that something has been harvested that might support us not repeating this.<br /> <br /> Jori – expressed her personal harvest relating to having not taken action when she heard one more word than she would enjoy to hear. Enquired as to whether Linda would enjoy to contact all the GCC members and hear their harvest.<br /> <br /> Checking out<br /> <br /> Cherie – Glad to have taken the time to be present on the call and appreciating the connection having been heard.<br /> <br /> Jim – Pleased with what was accomplished and sensing that we are part way toward where we want to be. Looking forward to the next part. Proposed another meeting be scheduled – all agreed.<br /> <br /> Linda – Feeling light and very happy to have connected to need for harvesting and learning. Appreciating Jim and Jori having taken on the role of Network managers and looking forward to how we grow from here.<br /> <br /> Liz and Jori remained on the line.<br /> <br /> Next meeting date and time to be forwarded when established.</div>

Resources are developed to enable NVC teams to begin and sustain their projects. Teams will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.'''<br /> <br /> An NVC Project Team is composed of at least one CNVC certified trainer and one CNVC supporter with a common aim which is in harmony with the vision of CNVC. Each team develops its own mission and aim(s) inclusively inviting interested community members to participate within their circle. Teams operate with autonomy to fulfill their goals while working interdependently within the guidelines and policies of CNVC. Teams are connected to support mutual learning.<br /> <br /> Individual members of teams cultivate an ever-increasing ability to &quot;live the process&quot; of Nonviolent Communication.

I'm feeling a mixture of gratitude, inspiration, frustration and regret. The regret is around a typo in the Participant Access number in the email invitation that was sent. The number on the wiki was correct. I remain puzzled as to how this happened since I thought I copied from one to the other.<br /> <br /> *Present on the call today were:<br /> **Linda Rysenbry, SEA&amp;O temporary representative, Sydney, Australia<br /> **Ann Bouritt, French Circle, Geneva, Switzerland<br /> **Jeff Brown, ENACC representative, St. Louis, USA<br /> **Jan, Observer, Idaho, USA<br /> **Jerry Koch-Gonzales, Observer, Massachusetts, USA<br /> **Laura Liliom, Eastern European Circle, Budapest, Hungary<br /> **Chris Rajendram, Sri Lanka<br /> **Kirsten Kristensen, Nordic/Baltic Circle, Denmark, from the Canary Islands<br /> **Jim Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> **Jori Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> <br /> *Regrets: <br /> **Dominic Barter, Brazil, communicated via email, appended to bottom of report<br /> **Ron Ngata, New Zealand, couldn't connect because of typo :(<br /> **Eva Rambala<br /> **Kumarjeev<br /> **Aniruddha<br /> <br /> *Following check-in, we handled the following consent items:<br /> **a. Jori as meeting facilitator today; consent<br /> **b. Jim as notetaker today; consent<br /> **c. Jim and Jori as functional leaders of GCC for one year; consent<br /> **d. Aim of GCC; consent, with addition of &quot;groups will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.&quot;<br /> **e. Nonviolent governance utilizing consent, feedback, linking. consent<br /> **f. Participants on the call today are the initial planning team for today. consent, after clarifying discussion of balance and equality and term of this meeting.<br /> <br /> **Additionally there was consent that the observers could act as full participants for today's meeting.<br /> <br /> {Note on sociocratic consent-generally in sociocracy, if a person does not attend a meeting, their consent is implied. Inclusion is protected because any item consented at one meeting can be brought back up for consideration at a future meeting by anyone withdrawing consent to that item. Thus, Dom's lack of consent, via email, to some agenda items can be re-visited at the next meeting. -Jim}<br /> <br /> *Following the consent round, we began exploring the issues around the systems and structures that could best support the aim of the GCC. Jori shared some ideas that she and Jim generated than asked for responses: <br /> <br /> **What is the GCC? The GCC is a circle that links to the Leadeship Team and the Network; it is a policy building circle focusing on network connections; the policies being tested at both the LT and the network level.<br /> <br /> **We suggest starting with a planning team, initially seeking those in the network who have built successful projects; that are willing to work together to create templates in support of new projects being formed as a vehicle for mutual learning.<br /> <br /> *Main issues identified by the group to consider:<br /> **How to bring the GCC to concrete form<br /> **Wondering about languages, navigating the differences<br /> **Different ways of passing information through the network<br /> **The size of the GCC &quot;body&quot; <br /> **How many levels/layers could be required<br /> **How to determine the makeup of the GCC to best serve the needs of the network<br /> **Managing the number of people involved in a given meeting/call<br /> **How to deal with time zone differences spanning the globe<br /> **Clarifying the relationship of the LT and the GCC<br /> **How to balance including &quot;successful team leaders&quot; with representation from &quot;new countries that have not yet had a successful project&quot;.<br /> **Acknowledging the need for both appointed and elected members of the GCC<br /> **Acknowledgment of financial cost of involvement, wondering about support for those with less resources.<br /> **The need for the system to acknowledge both language differences and geographic differences<br /> <br /> *At this point Jori shared some ideas she and Jim had been discussing for beginning with a system that consisted of four language groups. <br /> **These languages are spoken in virtually every country of the world either as a primary or secondary language. The example is India, where there are many languages, united by a common language of English. In Vietnam, many speak both Vietnamese and French.<br /> **Each of the four languages would have an appointed leader on the GCC and also an elected representative; thus the GCC would be composed of at least 10 people, including Jori and Jim.<br /> **(French, German, English, Spanish/Portuguese/Italian [Romance languages other than French])<br /> <br /> *Reactions:<br /> **Excitement about focusing on 4 language groups that cover virtually every country as a starting place <br /> **Need to Consider translation and interpretation strategies<br /> **Utilize written word for clarity, ease of interpretation, and spanning time zones, eg Dom's ideas around &quot;soc-e-ocracy&quot;.<br /> **Suggest keep circle size of 12 or less<br /> **Some worry about difficulty between understanding in Sp/Portuguese circle<br /> **Some worry that language differences can stimulate conflict...<br /> **Some concern that language is subsidiary to geography...how to deal with people who share geography but not language, eg Quebec<br /> **Some concern for maintaining geographic representation for policy roles and appreciation for the simplicity of language groups<br /> **Concern for maintaining global awareness<br /> **Geography &quot;primary&quot; over language for global overview and local connection?<br /> **Wants A GCC small enough to function yet insures inclusion through connection to the larger network<br /> <br /> <br /> Closing Round:<br /> <br /> Linda: Glad to be a part of the call; values being aware and connected to some of the issues; enjoyed picture-making; looking for clarity re planning team and gcc; seeing important to begin with knowledge things will be refined/changed.<br /> <br /> Ann: In touch with the complexity of the matter, enriched by reactions of others; our experience in the French speaking circle is that the more organized we get, the more we see people from other areas wanting to connect and get in touch; its important to focus on starting, not focus as much on the how of starting; grateful for presence of everyone and for Jori's facilitation.<br /> <br /> Jeff: Energized, excited, glad that Kirsten and Chris could join the call; excited about the potential to get people connected; the most excitement about organizing by language; could facilitate cross-cultural connection if we were to organize it that way; happy we're having the conversation and moving forward; deep trust in the NVC process and that whatever we come up with will serve the network.<br /> <br /> Jan: Admiring and celebrating willingness to hold and consider issues; more aware now of the complexity; grateful; hopeful; beginning is important-to try something and have a &quot;reconsideration point&quot; chosen to check in if &quot;it&quot; is working.<br /> <br /> Jerry: Pleased with care and consideration and some sense of motion; enjoyed inclusion of observers; concerned about inclusion of observers for efficiency of future meetings; not clear yet on who holds decision-making responsibility.<br /> <br /> Laura: (No check-out, lost connection?)Oh, I got kicked off at the end closing round.<br /> But I would like to then give final feedback by email:<br /> <br /> I enjoyed being part of our call very much, I am at this moment suppressed by the weight of the complexity of this task that is ahead of us now, and also would like to thank Jori for this – to me – wonderful facilitation. I feel a deep appreciation to her facilitation talent and skills. I am really impressed.<br /> <br /> I felt the conference call was efficient, although we did not cover the whole agenda.<br /> I celebrate that I was able to be part of this call now and was able to help one person to join the call and also that I had this time to connect with NVC people from all around the world.<br /> <br /> Kirsten: (No check-out, lost connection?)<br /> <br /> Chris: Enjoyed joining even if late; I understand now what was blocking me from the conversation-we are killing each other (in Sri Lanka) because of the language. I'd like another way of uniting us and getting a central circle functioning; more clarity; grateful for inclusion; glad to have heard voices.<br /> <br /> Jori: Like the increased creativity and grateful for all the feedback<br /> <br /> Jim: Excited about the connection; regret about the typo that may have prevented Ron, Eva, Aniruddha, and Kumarjeev from participating and delayed Chris' connection; grateful to have the support of the folks who participated today; moving closer to clarity about structure and systemic issues; hungry for feedback about other picture forming agenda item; suggest we try using email and the wiki to explore it.<br /> <br /> Meeting was closed after 2 hours.<br /> <br /> ==Request from the notetaker:==<br /> I'd like to invite folks to edit their closing round comments for clarity and brevity. I'd also enjoy you clarifying any issues in the picture-forming if they do not reflect your thoughts, feelings, or needs, or if fresh insights arise. My preference is that you use the wiki; if you are not yet comfortable with the wiki, you can email me your edits and I will edit for you.<br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted with joy and gratitude,<br /> <br /> Jim Manske<br /> nvctrainer@gmail.com<br /> <br /> (PS Additions receeived via email from Dominic Barter are below)<br /> <br /> Dear all,<br /> <br /> I am disappointed to miss this meeting, as I already had teaching activities planned for this time. <br /> <br /> I am eager to connect with you all and test the decision making abilities of this group configured in this way. I continue to experience much energy for co-creating CNVC, after almost 4 years of participation in committees and meetings of this sort, tempered by many, growing doubts about the directions taken during this time.<br /> <br /> One of them is the lack of any current mechanism for participating except by being present at this call, something I imagine many - of not all - of us will experience at some point. So, with this e-mail, I hope to create such a mechanism:<br /> <br /> Please see - and voice/include/consider and respond - to the comments I make after each item.<br /> <br /> Please also add to the agenda discussion on the development of a time-scale for selecting meeting agendas (how many days before a meeting they are proposed, how each participant may contribute to them (wiki, etc.)).<br /> <br /> Or - why not? - let me know if this would not be fun.<br /> <br /> <br /> On 27 Nov 2006, at 16:44, Jim Manske wrote:<br /> <br /> Time: 1300 UT/GMT, 8 am US EST, 2pm Central Europe Time (CET), 6:30pm India Time<br /> <br /> Please canvass the time zones we are all mostly in most of the time and include all at th top of each agenda.<br /> <br /> Please propose a way for making participation relatively equally economically viable for all participants (can CNVC provide the Skype credits for those living in high cost phone countries to dial in this way?

Would you like to contribute to this connectivity?<br /> <br /> As sociocratically selected leaders of the new GCC for the coordination of NVC communities worldwide, I am delighted that Jim and I will working together to support the connectivity that could fuel global social transformation through the growth of NVC consciousness. We are committed to the fulfillment of the vision of having NVC teams in every country in the world. We will be working to help build teams in areas that do not have them, and learning from and supporting connection with existing NVC groups. This is one of the major areas of functionality identified for CNVC at the recent Board meeting.<br /> <br /> We will be meeting later this month with the representatives previously nominated by existing circles to explore the structures and strategies that will provide representation and mutual connection that will support us all in fulfilling our shared vision of the growth of compassionate giving, joy, and nonviolence in the world.<br /> <br /> We welcome your feedback about what support you would like in building your community, or in healing any lack of connection currently for you in connecting with CNVC or others practicing NVC in your community.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight,<br /> <br /> Jori and Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===EINLADUNG===<br /> <br /> Liebe Gemeinschaft in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation,<br /> <br /> Wir laden euch alle ein, darüber nachzudenken, in welcher Art ihr verbunden sein wollt mit Menschen, die die Gewaltfreie Kommunikation leben, sowohl in eurer Region und auch in einem weiter gefassten Rahmen der NVC-Gemeinschaft.<br /> Möchtet ihr zu dieser Verbundenheit beitragen?<br /> <br /> Als soziokratisch gewählte Leiter des neu eingerichteten GCC (Weltweiter Koordinierungsrat), der die Arbeit der NVC-Gemeinschaften weltweit koordinieren soll, bin ich froh darüber, dass Jim und ich zusammenarbeiten werden, um die Verbundenheit zu unterstützen, die zu einem Wachsen des Bewusstseins für gewaltfreie Kommunikation beiträgt und dadurch die globale soziale Transformation vorantreibt.<br /> <br /> Wir haben den Willen, an der Erfüllung unserer Vision zu arbeiten, Teams in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation in jedem Land der Welt zu haben. Wir werden unterstützend beim Aufbau von Teams mitwirken in Gegenden, wo noch keine existieren. Dabei werden wir die Verbindung zu den Teams unterstützen, die es bereits gibt und von ihnen lernen. Dies ist eine der Hauptaufgaben für das CNVC, wie wir auf dem letzten Board Meeting herausgefunden haben.<br /> <br /> In Laufe dieses Monats werden wir uns mit den kürzlich von den bereits arbeitenden Kreisen aufgestellten Repräsentanten treffen, um Strukturen und Strategien zu untersuchen, die eine Repräsentation und gegenseitige Verbindung leisten können. <br /> Von dieser Repräsentation und gegenseitigen Verbindung erhoffen wir uns eine breite Unterstützung, um diese uns gemeinsame Vision von wachsendem Mitgefühl, Geben und Nehmen von Herzen, Freude und Gewaltfreiheit in der Welt, mehr und mehr ins Leben holen zu können.<br /> <br /> Wir freuen uns über Rückmeldungen, welche Art von Unterstützung ihr braucht, um eure Gemeinschaft aufzubauen oder eine momentan fehlende Verbindung zu heilen, und um euch mit dem CNVC und anderen &quot;gewaltfrei&quot; Aktiven in eurer Gemeinschaft zu verbinden.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight, (Etwa: Mit Wärme und Freude)<br /> <br /> Jori und Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===L'INVITATION===<br /> <br /> Cher(chère) membre de la Communauté CNV,<br /> <br /> Ce message est une invitation à réfléchir à la manière dont vous souhaiteriez être reliés aux autres personnes pratiquant la CNV dans votre région ou, plus largement, dans le monde. Voulez-vous contribuer à la mise en place de liens entre nous?<br /> <br /> Jim et moi avons été élus sociocratiquement directeurs du nouveau Cercle Général de Coordination chargé de coordonner les communautés CNV de par le monde. Je me réjouis de nous voir travailler ensemble au service d'une telle mise en lien qui, grâce à la conscience CNV, contribuera au changement social dans le monde. Nous nous sommes engagés à réaliser la vision consistant à mettre en place des équipes CNV dans tous les pays du monde. Nous aiderons à la création d'équipes dans les régions où elles sont inexistantes. Nous nous inspirerons et encouragerons les liens déjà établis entre les groupes CNV existants. Il s'agit d'une des missions principales confiées au Centre pour la CNV lors de la dernière réunion du Board.<br /> <br /> Dans le courant de ce mois, nous rencontrerons les représentants préalablement désignés par les cercles existants afin d'explorer les structures et les stratégies propres à assurer la représentation et le niveau d'échange qui nous aideront tous à réaliser notre vision commune: voir la bienveillance, la joie et la non-violence grandir dans le monde.<br /> <br /> Nous serions ravis de savoir comment nous pouvons vous aider à créer votre communauté ou à remédier à un éventuel manque d'échange avec le Centre pour la CNV ou avec d'autres personnes pratiquant la CNV autour de vous. <br /> <br /> Très chaleureusement, au plaisir de vous lire,<br /> <br /> Jori et Jim<br /> <br /> nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===INVITACION===<br /> <br /> Estimada Comunidad,<br /> <br /> Los invitamos a que consideren la forma en que quisieran estar ligados a las otras personas practicantes de la Comunicación No Violenta en su área local y en la comunidad más amplia de CNV. Les gustaría contribuir con esta conectividad?<br /> <br /> Como líderes sociocraticamente elegidos de la nueva GCC para la coordinación de las comunidades CNV en todo el mundo, estoy complacido de que Jim y yo estemos trabajando para apoyar la conectividad que podría fortalecer la transformación social a través del crecimiento de conciencia de la CNV.<br /> <br /> Estamos comprometidos con alcanzar nuestra visión de tener equipos de CNV en cada país del mundo. Estaremos trabajando para ayudar a crear nuevos equipos de trabajo en áreas donde éstos no existen y, por otro lado, aprender y apoyar la conexión con los grupos existentes. Esta es una de las áreas de mayor funcionalidad identificadas por el CCNV en su más reciente reunión de junta directiva. <br /> <br /> Nos estaremos reuniendo a fin de mes con los representantes nominados anteriormente por los círculos existentes con el fin de explorar las estructuras y las estrategias que proveerán la conexión y representación mutua que nos ayudarían a alcanzar una mayor visión de expansión de la alegría, el dar compasivamente y la no violencia en el mundo.<br /> <br /> Aceptamos cualquier sugerencia o recomendación de la forma en que le gustaría recibir nuestro apoyo para la creación, el fortalecimiento de su comunidad o bien cualquier impedimento de comunicación con el CCNV. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Con cariño y felicidad, <br /> <br /> Jori y Jim Manske nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ==FUNCTIONS OF THE GCC==<br /> The GCC functions include contributing to support and connection throughout the CNVC network, sustaining existing circles and helping to cultivate new circles. We have a goal of having an NVC team in every<br /> country of the world by 2017. Our aspiration is that the GCC and these teams will live the process of NVC as fully as possible.<br /> <br /> The GCC, like all the circles, is both an autonomous and interdependent entity empowered with determining and implementing strategies to fulfill its functionality within mutually determined guidelines. It will be linked to the decision-making in the Leadership Team through membership of its functional leaders and representatives.<br /> <br /> As part of a sociocratic system, communication and power will be both &quot;top down&quot; and &quot;bottom up&quot;. The GCC is one of a few &quot;top level&quot; circles of the LT and the functional leader(s) of the GCC are thus members of the LT which is responsible for the overall functioning of the organizations day-to-day business. Eventually, there will be an elected representative from the GCC as well that will sit on the LT, fulfilling the aspiration of double-linking.<br /> <br /> We hope to have a GCC representative on the LT by the end of 2007. This will require clarity about the structure of the GCC which we are currently working on.<br /> <br /> The leaders of the GCC are Jim and Jori Manske, elected sociocratically by the LT in October, 2006. To communicate via email with Jim and Jori, send mail to nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com; Jim's Skype name is jimjori; Jori's Skype name is jorijim.<br /> <br /> =GCC CONTACT WITH CIRCLES=<br /> =='''South and East Asia/Oceania Circle'''==<br /> ===Minutes of meeting with SEA&amp;O, 3 November 2006===<br /> Hi everyone<br /> <br /> These notes have been posted on our yahoo group as well. If anyone present at the meeting is unhappy with how I have recorded an aspect of the meeting please do let me know. I I have omitted anyone in the apologies please also let me know.<br /> <br /> with care,<br /> Linda<br /> <br /> Minutes for extra-ordinary meeting of SEA&amp;O November 3, 2006<br /> <br /> Present: Linda Rysenbry, Liz Gay, Cate Crombie (initially), Cherie Scott Jim &amp; Jori Manske<br /> <br /> Apologies: Shari Macree, Dorset Campbell Ross, Chris Rajendram, Ron Ngata<br /> <br /> Checking-in:<br /> Linda – Grateful for Liz’s impulse for this meeting and grateful for Jori and Jim’s enthusiasm to get together.<br /> Liz – Hopeful of getting clarity and understanding and looking forward to the call<br /> Cherie – grateful to have managed to get on to the call by phone and happy to be here<br /> Jim – Enjoys community and remembering recently assisting another group in establishing connection and a circle and looking forward to contributing to SEA&amp;O and others. Contributing to community is the ‘juice’ he enjoys.<br /> Jori – met Jim in community and is looking forward to an increase in connection in the Network. Sees the power of creation is in connections we make. Celebrating the restructuring designed in Atlanta is based on functionality rather than geography and therefore more in alignment with sociocracy.<br /> <br /> Exchange around the intention of the meeting during which Jori – expressed intention for the meeting to be about connecting and then seeing how we decide to remain connected ongoingly and Liz – expressed desire for answers to questions she had about the output of the Atlanta meeting.<br /> <br /> Through questions and discussion we:<br /> <br /> · looked at the minutes from Atlanta – in particular the new structure – http://en.nvcwiki.com/images/Minutes_Addendum_v3.pdf<br /> <br /> Jori clarified that the structure is intended and agreements have been made, that support freedom to act by individuals who fulfil leadership roles eg. The Network managers Jim &amp; Jori and Marshall &amp; Valentina in their leadership roles, in circumstances that are extraordinary have the prior agreement of the team/GCC to take action as they see fit.<br /> <br /> Liz sought clarifications and received empathy<br /> <br /> Cherie – expressed that it matters very much to her HOW things are actioned. And not knowing details felt concerned about HOW actions had been taken regarding Liz gay’s membership Of the GCC.<br /> <br /> Jim and Jori shared personal mourning in connection to the above.<br /> <br /> Linda – acknowledged Jori’s personal mourning and expressed desire to hear a collective expression from the GCC (if it was true for them) of mourning. Feeling concerned about there being a ‘group’ that made the decision and now not having a sense of connection to the ‘group’. Empathy around fears connected to groups acting in a way which individuals later have misgivings about. Accepting that all were doing their best at the time; needing safety and to know that something has been harvested that might support us not repeating this.<br /> <br /> Jori – expressed her personal harvest relating to having not taken action when she heard one more word than she would enjoy to hear. Enquired as to whether Linda would enjoy to contact all the GCC members and hear their harvest.<br /> <br /> Checking out<br /> <br /> Cherie – Glad to have taken the time to be present on the call and appreciating the connection having been heard.<br /> <br /> Jim – Pleased with what was accomplished and sensing that we are part way toward where we want to be. Looking forward to the next part. Proposed another meeting be scheduled – all agreed.<br /> <br /> Linda – Feeling light and very happy to have connected to need for harvesting and learning. Appreciating Jim and Jori having taken on the role of Network managers and looking forward to how we grow from here.<br /> <br /> Liz and Jori remained on the line.<br /> <br /> Next meeting date and time to be forwarded when established.</div>

Full of peace, confidence and gratitude.<br /> *Anne: Very pleased with what happened. Received lots of information that I enjoyed. Likes the image of pieces of the puzzle coming together. Liked that those present were here, wishing for others to participate as well. <br /> *Jori: Huge grin on my face; muscles tired from smiling so much. Fed by the quality of connection, feedback and interaction. Many pieces coming together. Sometimes feel a strong urgency to move toward more clarity, but this is the only need not met.<br /> *Jim: Happy to participate in spite of technical difficulties. Missed Dom. Sorry that Eva disappeared from the call.

I'm feeling a mixture of gratitude, inspiration, frustration and regret. The regret is around a typo in the Participant Access number in the email invitation that was sent. The number on the wiki was correct. I remain puzzled as to how this happened since I thought I copied from one to the other.<br /> <br /> *Present on the call today were:<br /> **Linda Rysenbry, SEA&amp;O temporary representative, Sydney, Australia<br /> **Ann Bouritt, French Circle, Geneva, Switzerland<br /> **Jeff Brown, ENACC representative, St. Louis, USA<br /> **Jan, Observer, Idaho, USA<br /> **Jerry Koch-Gonzales, Observer, Massachusetts, USA<br /> **Laura Liliom, Eastern European Circle, Budapest, Hungary<br /> **Chris Rajendram, Sri Lanka<br /> **Kirsten Kristensen, Nordic/Baltic Circle, Denmark, from the Canary Islands<br /> **Jim Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> **Jori Manske, GCC, from Jacksonville, USA<br /> <br /> *Regrets: <br /> **Dominic Barter, Brazil, communicated via email, appended to bottom of report<br /> **Ron Ngata, New Zealand, couldn't connect because of typo :(<br /> **Eva Rambala<br /> **Kumarjeev<br /> **Aniruddha<br /> <br /> *Following check-in, we handled the following consent items:<br /> **a. Jori as meeting facilitator today; consent<br /> **b. Jim as notetaker today; consent<br /> **c. Jim and Jori as functional leaders of GCC for one year; consent<br /> **d. Aim of GCC; consent, with addition of &quot;groups will be organized sociocratically with double-linking.&quot;<br /> **e. Nonviolent governance utilizing consent, feedback, linking. consent<br /> **f. Participants on the call today are the initial planning team for today. consent, after clarifying discussion of balance and equality and term of this meeting.<br /> <br /> **Additionally there was consent that the observers could act as full participants for today's meeting.<br /> <br /> {Note on sociocratic consent-generally in sociocracy, if a person does not attend a meeting, their consent is implied. Inclusion is protected because any item consented at one meeting can be brought back up for consideration at a future meeting by anyone withdrawing consent to that item. Thus, Dom's lack of consent, via email, to some agenda items can be re-visited at the next meeting. -Jim}<br /> <br /> *Following the consent round, we began exploring the issues around the systems and structures that could best support the aim of the GCC. Jori shared some ideas that she and Jim generated than asked for responses: <br /> <br /> **What is the GCC? The GCC is a circle that links to the Leadeship Team and the Network; it is a policy building circle focusing on network connections; the policies being tested at both the LT and the network level.<br /> <br /> **We suggest starting with a planning team, initially seeking those in the network who have built successful projects; that are willing to work together to create templates in support of new projects being formed as a vehicle for mutual learning.<br /> <br /> *Main issues identified by the group to consider:<br /> **How to bring the GCC to concrete form<br /> **Wondering about languages, navigating the differences<br /> **Different ways of passing information through the network<br /> **The size of the GCC &quot;body&quot; <br /> **How many levels/layers could be required<br /> **How to determine the makeup of the GCC to best serve the needs of the network<br /> **Managing the number of people involved in a given meeting/call<br /> **How to deal with time zone differences spanning the globe<br /> **Clarifying the relationship of the LT and the GCC<br /> **How to balance including &quot;successful team leaders&quot; with representation from &quot;new countries that have not yet had a successful project&quot;.<br /> **Acknowledging the need for both appointed and elected members of the GCC<br /> **Acknowledgment of financial cost of involvement, wondering about support for those with less resources.<br /> **The need for the system to acknowledge both language differences and geographic differences<br /> <br /> *At this point Jori shared some ideas she and Jim had been discussing for beginning with a system that consisted of four language groups. <br /> **These languages are spoken in virtually every country of the world either as a primary or secondary language. The example is India, where there are many languages, united by a common language of English. In Vietnam, many speak both Vietnamese and French.<br /> **Each of the four languages would have an appointed leader on the GCC and also an elected representative; thus the GCC would be composed of at least 10 people, including Jori and Jim.<br /> **(French, German, English, Spanish/Portuguese/Italian [Romance languages other than French])<br /> <br /> *Reactions:<br /> **Excitement about focusing on 4 language groups that cover virtually every country as a starting place <br /> **Need to Consider translation and interpretation strategies<br /> **Utilize written word for clarity, ease of interpretation, and spanning time zones, eg Dom's ideas around &quot;soc-e-ocracy&quot;.<br /> **Suggest keep circle size of 12 or less<br /> **Some worry about difficulty between understanding in Sp/Portuguese circle<br /> **Some worry that language differences can stimulate conflict...<br /> **Some concern that language is subsidiary to geography...how to deal with people who share geography but not language, eg Quebec<br /> **Some concern for maintaining geographic representation for policy roles and appreciation for the simplicity of language groups<br /> **Concern for maintaining global awareness<br /> **Geography &quot;primary&quot; over language for global overview and local connection?<br /> **Wants A GCC small enough to function yet insures inclusion through connection to the larger network<br /> <br /> <br /> Closing Round:<br /> <br /> Linda: Glad to be a part of the call; values being aware and connected to some of the issues; enjoyed picture-making; looking for clarity re planning team and gcc; seeing important to begin with knowledge things will be refined/changed.<br /> <br /> Ann: In touch with the complexity of the matter, enriched by reactions of others; our experience in the French speaking circle is that the more organized we get, the more we see people from other areas wanting to connect and get in touch; its important to focus on starting, not focus as much on the how of starting; grateful for presence of everyone and for Jori's facilitation.<br /> <br /> Jeff: Energized, excited, glad that Kirsten and Chris could join the call; excited about the potential to get people connected; the most excitement about organizing by language; could facilitate cross-cultural connection if we were to organize it that way; happy we're having the conversation and moving forward; deep trust in the NVC process and that whatever we come up with will serve the network.<br /> <br /> Jan: Admiring and celebrating willingness to hold and consider issues; more aware now of the complexity; grateful; hopeful; beginning is important-to try something and have a &quot;reconsideration point&quot; chosen to check in if &quot;it&quot; is working.<br /> <br /> Jerry: Pleased with care and consideration and some sense of motion; enjoyed inclusion of observers; concerned about inclusion of observers for efficiency of future meetings; not clear yet on who holds decision-making responsibility.<br /> <br /> Laura: (No check-out, lost connection?)Oh, I got kicked off at the end closing round.<br /> But I would like to then give final feedback by email:<br /> <br /> I enjoyed being part of our call very much, I am at this moment suppressed by the weight of the complexity of this task that is ahead of us now, and also would like to thank Jori for this – to me – wonderful facilitation. I feel a deep appreciation to her facilitation talent and skills. I am really impressed.<br /> <br /> I felt the conference call was efficient, although we did not cover the whole agenda.<br /> I celebrate that I was able to be part of this call now and was able to help one person to join the call and also that I had this time to connect with NVC people from all around the world.<br /> <br /> Kirsten: (No check-out, lost connection?)<br /> <br /> Chris: Enjoyed joining even if late; I understand now what was blocking me from the conversation-we are killing each other (in Sri Lanka) because of the language. I'd like another way of uniting us and getting a central circle functioning; more clarity; grateful for inclusion; glad to have heard voices.<br /> <br /> Jori: Like the increased creativity and grateful for all the feedback<br /> <br /> Jim: Excited about the connection; regret about the typo that may have prevented Ron, Eva, Aniruddha, and Kumarjeev from participating and delayed Chris' connection; grateful to have the support of the folks who participated today; moving closer to clarity about structure and systemic issues; hungry for feedback about other picture forming agenda item; suggest we try using email and the wiki to explore it.<br /> <br /> Meeting was closed after 2 hours.<br /> <br /> ==Request from the notetaker:==<br /> I'd like to invite folks to edit their closing round comments for clarity and brevity. I'd also enjoy you clarifying any issues in the picture-forming if they do not reflect your thoughts, feelings, or needs, or if fresh insights arise. My preference is that you use the wiki; if you are not yet comfortable with the wiki, you can email me your edits and I will edit for you.<br /> <br /> Respectfully submitted with joy and gratitude,<br /> <br /> Jim Manske<br /> nvctrainer@gmail.com<br /> <br /> (PS Additions receeived via email from Dominic Barter are below)<br /> <br /> Dear all,<br /> <br /> I am disappointed to miss this meeting, as I already had teaching activities planned for this time. <br /> <br /> I am eager to connect with you all and test the decision making abilities of this group configured in this way. I continue to experience much energy for co-creating CNVC, after almost 4 years of participation in committees and meetings of this sort, tempered by many, growing doubts about the directions taken during this time.<br /> <br /> One of them is the lack of any current mechanism for participating except by being present at this call, something I imagine many - of not all - of us will experience at some point. So, with this e-mail, I hope to create such a mechanism:<br /> <br /> Please see - and voice/include/consider and respond - to the comments I make after each item.<br /> <br /> Please also add to the agenda discussion on the development of a time-scale for selecting meeting agendas (how many days before a meeting they are proposed, how each participant may contribute to them (wiki, etc.)).<br /> <br /> Or - why not? - let me know if this would not be fun.<br /> <br /> <br /> On 27 Nov 2006, at 16:44, Jim Manske wrote:<br /> <br /> Time: 1300 UT/GMT, 8 am US EST, 2pm Central Europe Time (CET), 6:30pm India Time<br /> <br /> Please canvass the time zones we are all mostly in most of the time and include all at th top of each agenda.<br /> <br /> Please propose a way for making participation relatively equally economically viable for all participants (can CNVC provide the Skype credits for those living in high cost phone countries to dial in this way?

Would you like to contribute to this connectivity?<br /> <br /> As sociocratically selected leaders of the new GCC for the coordination of NVC communities worldwide, I am delighted that Jim and I will working together to support the connectivity that could fuel global social transformation through the growth of NVC consciousness. We are committed to the fulfillment of the vision of having NVC teams in every country in the world. We will be working to help build teams in areas that do not have them, and learning from and supporting connection with existing NVC groups. This is one of the major areas of functionality identified for CNVC at the recent Board meeting.<br /> <br /> We will be meeting later this month with the representatives previously nominated by existing circles to explore the structures and strategies that will provide representation and mutual connection that will support us all in fulfilling our shared vision of the growth of compassionate giving, joy, and nonviolence in the world.<br /> <br /> We welcome your feedback about what support you would like in building your community, or in healing any lack of connection currently for you in connecting with CNVC or others practicing NVC in your community.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight,<br /> <br /> Jori and Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===EINLADUNG===<br /> <br /> Liebe Gemeinschaft in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation,<br /> <br /> Wir laden euch alle ein, darüber nachzudenken, in welcher Art ihr verbunden sein wollt mit Menschen, die die Gewaltfreie Kommunikation leben, sowohl in eurer Region und auch in einem weiter gefassten Rahmen der NVC-Gemeinschaft.<br /> Möchtet ihr zu dieser Verbundenheit beitragen?<br /> <br /> Als soziokratisch gewählte Leiter des neu eingerichteten GCC (Weltweiter Koordinierungsrat), der die Arbeit der NVC-Gemeinschaften weltweit koordinieren soll, bin ich froh darüber, dass Jim und ich zusammenarbeiten werden, um die Verbundenheit zu unterstützen, die zu einem Wachsen des Bewusstseins für gewaltfreie Kommunikation beiträgt und dadurch die globale soziale Transformation vorantreibt.<br /> <br /> Wir haben den Willen, an der Erfüllung unserer Vision zu arbeiten, Teams in Gewaltfreier Kommunikation in jedem Land der Welt zu haben. Wir werden unterstützend beim Aufbau von Teams mitwirken in Gegenden, wo noch keine existieren. Dabei werden wir die Verbindung zu den Teams unterstützen, die es bereits gibt und von ihnen lernen. Dies ist eine der Hauptaufgaben für das CNVC, wie wir auf dem letzten Board Meeting herausgefunden haben.<br /> <br /> In Laufe dieses Monats werden wir uns mit den kürzlich von den bereits arbeitenden Kreisen aufgestellten Repräsentanten treffen, um Strukturen und Strategien zu untersuchen, die eine Repräsentation und gegenseitige Verbindung leisten können. <br /> Von dieser Repräsentation und gegenseitigen Verbindung erhoffen wir uns eine breite Unterstützung, um diese uns gemeinsame Vision von wachsendem Mitgefühl, Geben und Nehmen von Herzen, Freude und Gewaltfreiheit in der Welt, mehr und mehr ins Leben holen zu können.<br /> <br /> Wir freuen uns über Rückmeldungen, welche Art von Unterstützung ihr braucht, um eure Gemeinschaft aufzubauen oder eine momentan fehlende Verbindung zu heilen, und um euch mit dem CNVC und anderen &quot;gewaltfrei&quot; Aktiven in eurer Gemeinschaft zu verbinden.<br /> <br /> With warmth and delight, (Etwa: Mit Wärme und Freude)<br /> <br /> Jori und Jim nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===L'INVITATION===<br /> <br /> Cher(chère) membre de la Communauté CNV,<br /> <br /> Ce message est une invitation à réfléchir à la manière dont vous souhaiteriez être reliés aux autres personnes pratiquant la CNV dans votre région ou, plus largement, dans le monde. Voulez-vous contribuer à la mise en place de liens entre nous?<br /> <br /> Jim et moi avons été élus sociocratiquement directeurs du nouveau Cercle Général de Coordination chargé de coordonner les communautés CNV de par le monde. Je me réjouis de nous voir travailler ensemble au service d'une telle mise en lien qui, grâce à la conscience CNV, contribuera au changement social dans le monde. Nous nous sommes engagés à réaliser la vision consistant à mettre en place des équipes CNV dans tous les pays du monde. Nous aiderons à la création d'équipes dans les régions où elles sont inexistantes. Nous nous inspirerons et encouragerons les liens déjà établis entre les groupes CNV existants. Il s'agit d'une des missions principales confiées au Centre pour la CNV lors de la dernière réunion du Board.<br /> <br /> Dans le courant de ce mois, nous rencontrerons les représentants préalablement désignés par les cercles existants afin d'explorer les structures et les stratégies propres à assurer la représentation et le niveau d'échange qui nous aideront tous à réaliser notre vision commune: voir la bienveillance, la joie et la non-violence grandir dans le monde.<br /> <br /> Nous serions ravis de savoir comment nous pouvons vous aider à créer votre communauté ou à remédier à un éventuel manque d'échange avec le Centre pour la CNV ou avec d'autres personnes pratiquant la CNV autour de vous. <br /> <br /> Très chaleureusement, au plaisir de vous lire,<br /> <br /> Jori et Jim<br /> <br /> nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ===INVITACION===<br /> <br /> Estimada Comunidad,<br /> <br /> Los invitamos a que consideren la forma en que quisieran estar ligados a las otras personas practicantes de la Comunicación No Violenta en su área local y en la comunidad más amplia de CNV. Les gustaría contribuir con esta conectividad?<br /> <br /> Como líderes sociocraticamente elegidos de la nueva GCC para la coordinación de las comunidades CNV en todo el mundo, estoy complacido de que Jim y yo estemos trabajando para apoyar la conectividad que podría fortalecer la transformación social a través del crecimiento de conciencia de la CNV.<br /> <br /> Estamos comprometidos con alcanzar nuestra visión de tener equipos de CNV en cada país del mundo. Estaremos trabajando para ayudar a crear nuevos equipos de trabajo en áreas donde éstos no existen y, por otro lado, aprender y apoyar la conexión con los grupos existentes. Esta es una de las áreas de mayor funcionalidad identificadas por el CCNV en su más reciente reunión de junta directiva. <br /> <br /> Nos estaremos reuniendo a fin de mes con los representantes nominados anteriormente por los círculos existentes con el fin de explorar las estructuras y las estrategias que proveerán la conexión y representación mutua que nos ayudarían a alcanzar una mayor visión de expansión de la alegría, el dar compasivamente y la no violencia en el mundo.<br /> <br /> Aceptamos cualquier sugerencia o recomendación de la forma en que le gustaría recibir nuestro apoyo para la creación, el fortalecimiento de su comunidad o bien cualquier impedimento de comunicación con el CCNV. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Con cariño y felicidad, <br /> <br /> Jori y Jim Manske nonviolentcommunication@gmail.com<br /> <br /> ==FUNCTIONS OF THE GCC==<br /> The GCC functions include contributing to support and connection throughout the CNVC network, sustaining existing circles and helping to cultivate new circles. We have a goal of having an NVC team in every<br /> country of the world by 2017. Our aspiration is that the GCC and these teams will live the process of NVC as fully as possible.<br /> <br /> The GCC, like all the circles, is both an autonomous and interdependent entity empowered with determining and implementing strategies to fulfill its functionality within mutually determined guidelines. It will be linked to the decision-making in the Leadership Team through membership of its functional leaders and representatives.<br /> <br /> As part of a sociocratic system, communication and power will be both &quot;top down&quot; and &quot;bottom up&quot;. The GCC is one of a few &quot;top level&quot; circles of the LT and the functional leader(s) of the GCC are thus members of the LT which is responsible for the overall functioning of the organizations day-to-day business. Eventually, there will be an elected representative from the GCC as well that will sit on the LT, fulfilling the aspiration of double-linking.<br /> <br /> We hope to have a GCC representative on the LT by the end of 2007. This will require clarity about the structure of the GCC which we are currently working on.<br /> <br /> The leaders of the GCC are Jim and Jori Manske, elected sociocratically by the LT in October, 2006.

I I have omitted anyone in the apologies please also let me know.<br /> <br /> with care,<br /> Linda<br /> <br /> Minutes for extra-ordinary meeting of SEA&amp;O November 3, 2006<br /> <br /> Present: Linda Rysenbry, Liz Gay, Cate Crombie (initially), Cherie Scott Jim &amp; Jori Manske<br /> <br /> Apologies: Shari Macree, Dorset Campbell Ross, Chris Rajendram, Ron Ngata<br /> <br /> Checking-in:<br /> Linda – Grateful for Liz’s impulse for this meeting and grateful for Jori and Jim’s enthusiasm to get together.<br /> Liz – Hopeful of getting clarity and understanding and looking forward to the call<br /> Cherie – grateful to have managed to get on to the call by phone and happy to be here<br /> Jim – Enjoys community and remembering recently assisting another group in establishing connection and a circle and looking forward to contributing to SEA&amp;O and others. Contributing to community is the ‘juice’ he enjoys.<br /> Jori – met Jim in community and is looking forward to an increase in connection in the Network. Sees the power of creation is in connections we make. Celebrating the restructuring designed in Atlanta is based on functionality rather than geography and therefore more in alignment with sociocracy.<br /> <br /> Exchange around the intention of the meeting during which Jori – expressed intention for the meeting to be about connecting and then seeing how we decide to remain connected ongoingly and Liz – expressed desire for answers to questions she had about the output of the Atlanta meeting.<br /> <br /> Through questions and discussion we:<br /> <br /> · looked at the minutes from Atlanta – in particular the new structure – http://en.nvcwiki.com/images/Minutes_Addendum_v3.pdf<br /> <br /> Jori clarified that the structure is intended and agreements have been made, that support freedom to act by individuals who fulfil leadership roles eg. The Network managers Jim &amp; Jori and Marshall &amp; Valentina in their leadership roles, in circumstances that are extraordinary have the prior agreement of the team/GCC to take action as they see fit.<br /> <br /> Liz sought clarifications and received empathy<br /> <br /> Cherie – expressed that it matters very much to her HOW things are actioned. And not knowing details felt concerned about HOW actions had been taken regarding Liz gay’s membership Of the GCC.<br /> <br /> Jim and Jori shared personal mourning in connection to the above.<br /> <br /> Linda – acknowledged Jori’s personal mourning and expressed desire to hear a collective expression from the GCC (if it was true for them) of mourning. Feeling concerned about there being a ‘group’ that made the decision and now not having a sense of connection to the ‘group’. Empathy around fears connected to groups acting in a way which individuals later have misgivings about. Accepting that all were doing their best at the time; needing safety and to know that something has been harvested that might support us not repeating this.<br /> <br /> Jori – expressed her personal harvest relating to having not taken action when she heard one more word than she would enjoy to hear. Enquired as to whether Linda would enjoy to contact all the GCC members and hear their harvest.<br /> <br /> Checking out<br /> <br /> Cherie – Glad to have taken the time to be present on the call and appreciating the connection having been heard.<br /> <br /> Jim – Pleased with what was accomplished and sensing that we are part way toward where we want to be. Looking forward to the next part. Proposed another meeting be scheduled – all agreed.<br /> <br /> Linda – Feeling light and very happy to have connected to need for harvesting and learning. Appreciating Jim and Jori having taken on the role of Network managers and looking forward to how we grow from here.<br /> <br /> Liz and Jori remained on the line.<br /> <br /> Next meeting date and time to be forwarded when established.</div>
