Montage of Shared Experience

2006-10-06T10:12:37Z

Lg4nvc:

Here's a page where participants at S&EA/O's October 2006 Leader-Full Gathering can contribute feedback around their experience and or any small .jpgs you've been wanting to share.

It ain't ideal, exactly, but at least it doesn't cost anything. Also, I'm guessing anyone who feels inclined to create a more detailed record and knows how to will be kind enough to post a link to his/her creation here.

Please note, in order to protect this site against spammers, only registered users (registration is free!) can add comments do this page.

Non-registered users can submit comments on the discussion page by clicking the tab above.

== Feedback ==
'''From Liz Gay, Singapore:''' I'm particularly grateful to those dear souls who stayed up to support my participation in a GCC teleconference that took place between 1.00am and 3.30am. The atmosphere throughout the six days of our gathering together contributed to needs of mine for replenishment, sharing, fun and care. I continue to feel extraordinarilly warm and fuzzy when I recall various incidents, especially our 'No Talent Show' and 'Closing Circles' or whatever we eventually called those elements in our programme.

A Gathering of Leaders in NVC

Lg4nvc: /* Leader-Full Gatherings in 2007 */

During September 2005, four NVC trainers from Australia and Singapore met in Sydney, Australia and had so much fun together, they decided to invite others to join them at a similar meeting the following hear.

During October 2006 then, thirty four advocates for NVC, this time from four countries, met in Queensland, Australia in order to share learning and resources with one another.

Members in the [[S&EA/O Sociocratic Circle]] aim to invite would-be organisers for a similar event that might take place in 2007 to connect with them soon.

== What We Said in Our Web Ad ==
'''COME AND PLAY!'''

If you dream of cultivating NVC consciousness in our society, this gathering is for you!

If you want to recognise your own leadership skills, speak authentically and find the resources to make your vision a reality, this gathering is for you!

If you long for NVC community and for the magical synergy that happens when individual longings are spoken and received, this gathering is for you!

A GATHERING OF NVC ORGANISERS, TEACHERS, TRAINERS, SHARERS AND DREAMERS WHO ARE CONTRIBUTING TO OUR NVC COMMUNITY.

Participants at our 2006 Gathering are invited to contribute here to our [[Montage of Shared Experience]], where you can add an OFNR description of your experience at our event and/or small .jpg files.

Alternatively, here's hoping any participant with the technical skills to establish an alternative site where larger photographs can be shared will be willing to provide a link somewhere in these pages.

Do please also check back against these pages where organisers may choose to post information relating to future events.

== Leader-Full Gatherings in 2007 ==
Members in the 2006 Dreaming Committee welcome your ideas around similar events that could take place during 2007.

Owing to its susceptability to spammers, it ain't ideal and, until such time as CNVC is able to provide a protected space for discussion between members in the Network (visit the [[CNVC IT Committee]] pages to see how that project is developing!), we've establised an open forum where you can contribute ideas around future events at [http://nvcinasiapacifi.free-forums.org/nvcinasiapacifi.html| NVCinAsiaPacific].

Lg4nvc: /* Draft Agenda - October Conference Call */

Welcome to the CNVC GCC section of NVCwiki. The goal of this area is to enable CNVC GCC (formerly referred to as CNVC Board) members and others they might select, to edit official documents. It is our hope that two needs may be met in this way. First, the CNVC GCC will be able to collaborate on the creation of official documents by using this wiki interface. Second, anyone interested in better understanding CNVC decisions will be able to watch the documents evolve and add their own comments and suggestions in the Public Comment areas. Having GCC documents on wiki and implementing Sociocracy in meetings and GCC member selection are two strategies for improving communication and collaboration within the global NVC community.
----

=Items for Agenda consideration for face-to-face meeting Oct. 2006=
* CNVC projects, including the Costa Rican Peace Army's request to be a CNVC project. (Descriptive file for CRPA sent to GCC members.) (Jori)
* Budgeting priorities, including governance (Jori)
* Relationship between CNVC and Marshall (Jori)
* Leadership and governance priorities (Jori)
* Review of the Aim of CNVC (read by Katherine at 28 Aug. meeting:
** CNVC's aim is to provide Nonviolent Communication (NVC) training, materials, consulting, and projects that develop harmonious and effective relationships and organizations.
* Review of the GCC Proposal, presented by one or more of its authors (requested by Liz)
** Authors share their vision and hear reactions from non-authors
** Revisions are made as necessary
** An updated version is published
* Revision of the Board Governance Policies (requested by Liz)
** Establish a strategy to revise the current Board Governance Policies
** Establish a timeline for the publication of revisions
* Requests from S&EA/O that may or may not require GCC attention:
** That CNVC appoints a â€˜Regional Coordinatorâ€™ chosen by us with authority to use CNVC-conferred title in correspondence. (''Rationale:'' moves S&EA/O towards a goal of establishing a more powerful regional identity, allowing contributing countries to develop national identities thereafter. Provides S&EA/O with credibility in its negotiations with funding bodies.) (Liz)
** Than an agreement made between Jori and its members that allows inclusion of a representative elected by us in any scholarship committee that is considering applications for IITs scheduled to take place in our region be documented (in order to avoid confusion in the event CNVC's leadership configuration might change). Also, we might like to notice this agreement being extended to include scholarship committee deliberations around Special Sessions. (''Rationale:'' supports our execution of a regional development strategy that includes participation by key players learning opportunities for key players.) (Liz)
** Inclusion of one or more trainers chosen by us at IITs taking place in our region, starting with Bali 2007. (''Rationale:'' cements regional relationships and allows follow-through to happen.) (Liz)

This is a working document adopted by the CNVC Board May 2006 to create a global leadership group that is inclusive, responsive to, and representative of the entire global NVC community (for example by including sociocratically selected members) and linked into the CNVC board in a manner that allows for effective overall cooperation.
The Global Coordinating Council (GCC) will include members nominated by councils of people from large geographic areas and populations made up of representatives of smaller more localized organizations and will thus provide linking of our community at the local level and to the global level providing the connections that can support our perspective and growth.

=CNVC IT Committee=
Click here to visit the [[CNVC_IT_Committee| CNVC Information Technology]] (IT) page on NVCwiki.

=How To Edit=
Once Board members have logged in they can click "edit" in one of these "Protected" areas on the right margin of the section they're interested in to open an editing window and then scroll down in the text to add their own comments. Anyone can edit on the discussion page for each section. Insert empty lines to get paragraph breaks.
* Put an asterisk * at the very start of a line to make it a bullet item.

# Put a pound sign # at the very start of a line to make it a numbered item.

If you want to create an indented line:
: Put a colon : at the very start of a line to indent that line. Notice that if the line is long enough to reach the right margin, the entire paragraph will be indented. This indent continues until you create a new line in edit mode using your Enter/Return key.

With JavaScript and Images turned on (the default settings), most web browsers will display helpful buttons at the top of the editing windows that automatically create headers, etc.

You can experiment with editing just by clicking "edit" and typing something in, and then clicking "Show preview" at the very bottom (rather than "Save page") to see what your changes look like. If you don't like how it came out you can scroll down to the edit window and continue editing or just click on "cancel" to the right of "Save page" or on "article" at the top to bail out completely without making any permanent changes.

Even if you save changes you don't like, it's easy in the wiki interface to revert to previous versions. See the "history" function at the very top to get a sense of that. History is also great for finding out who made which changes and comparing different versions with colors to show which parts are different.

Be sure to also check out the "Recent changes" item in the "navigation" menu on the left. With that feature you can quickly see what has been written on the entire site, rather than looking up each item individually. Since the contributions on the site right now are mostly related to Board business, you'll probably see our discussions on the first page displayed.

If you'd like to experiment, click "edit" in the right margin next to the title of the next "Experiment" section and type in your text in the line below this one. If you have questions about how to use wiki, this would be a great place to ask them since others could see and learn from them too.

==Experiment here==

----
==How To Create A New Topic==
An easy way to create a new topic is to simply put the name you'd like it to have inside [[double square brackets]], and click Save Page. That will create an empty page, and a link to it that will be red in color until there is content at that location. To create the content, just click on the red link (which takes you to that empty page and puts you in Edit mode) and then type in the content. When you click Save Page for that, the link to it will change to blue color.

* Use of telephone/internet: Bearing in mind that our venue appears to allow only limited access to these, how can we support connectivity between representative members and their constituents? (Liz)

* Finding time to connect: Some of us have had an opportunity to connect one-on-one with one another, either in person or over the telephone and others haven't. Do we want to allow some time in the schedule that allows us those of us who haven't connecting with one another previously to do so? (Liz)

* Recording our dialogue: Do we want to record our dialogue in order that members in the network who can't observe in person might choose to do so after our event? (Liz)

=GCC Draft Proposal=
This is a working document adopted by the CNVC Board May 2006 to create a global leadership group that is inclusive, responsive to, and representative of the entire global NVC community (for example by including sociocratically selected members) and linked into the CNVC board in a manner that allows for effective overall cooperation.
The Global Coordinating Council (GCC) will include members nominated by councils of people from large geographic areas and populations made up of representatives of smaller more localized organizations and will thus provide linking of our community at the local level and to the global level providing the connections that can support our perspective and growth.

=CNVC IT Committee=

=How To Edit=
Once Board members have logged in they can click "edit" in one of these "Protected" areas on the right margin of the section they're interested in to open an editing window and then scroll down in the text to add their own comments. Anyone can edit on the discussion page for each section. Insert empty lines to get paragraph breaks.
* Put an asterisk * at the very start of a line to make it a bullet item.

# Put a pound sign # at the very start of a line to make it a numbered item.

If you want to create an indented line:
: Put a colon : at the very start of a line to indent that line. Notice that if the line is long enough to reach the right margin, the entire paragraph will be indented. This indent continues until you create a new line in edit mode using your Enter/Return key.

With JavaScript and Images turned on (the default settings), most web browsers will display helpful buttons at the top of the editing windows that automatically create headers, etc.

You can experiment with editing just by clicking "edit" and typing something in, and then clicking "Show preview" at the very bottom (rather than "Save page") to see what your changes look like. If you don't like how it came out you can scroll down to the edit window and continue editing or just click on "cancel" to the right of "Save page" or on "article" at the top to bail out completely without making any permanent changes.

Even if you save changes you don't like, it's easy in the wiki interface to revert to previous versions. See the "history" function at the very top to get a sense of that. History is also great for finding out who made which changes and comparing different versions with colors to show which parts are different.

Be sure to also check out the "Recent changes" item in the "navigation" menu on the left. With that feature you can quickly see what has been written on the entire site, rather than looking up each item individually. Since the contributions on the site right now are mostly related to Board business, you'll probably see our discussions on the first page displayed.

If you'd like to experiment, click "edit" in the right margin next to the title of the next "Experiment" section and type in your text in the line below this one. If you have questions about how to use wiki, this would be a great place to ask them since others could see and learn from them too.

==Experiment here==

----
==How To Create A New Topic==
An easy way to create a new topic is to simply put the name you'd like it to have inside [[double square brackets]], and click Save Page. That will create an empty page, and a link to it that will be red in color until there is content at that location. To create the content, just click on the red link (which takes you to that empty page and puts you in Edit mode) and then type in the content. When you click Save Page for that, the link to it will change to blue color.

S&EA/O Sociocratic Circle

2006-09-28T23:35:49Z

Lg4nvc:

Visitors to these pages are invited to contribute questions/opinions regarding efforts to share ideas and resources across the many national and cultural boarders that presently exist in a part of the world we have chosen to refer to as S&E Asia/Oceania.

If you are living and working with NVC in any country in our region, do please check back regularly against these pages in order to notice any new strategies we are able to develop that might help support a broader sense of inclusion in our network.

== Purpose ==

To coordinate publicity, fund-raising and training activities in South and East Asia and Oceania, supporting NVC teachers and trainers in reaching those living in under-resourced areas, particularly those at war and/or living in poverty.

== History ==

A group of 5 CNVC trainers who are also friends began teleconferencing together in 2005, formulating strategies for collaboration across international boarders. In March 2006, these individuals extended an invitation to NVC leaders living in other countries to contribute an elected representative to CNVCâ€™s Global Coordinating Circle. As of May 2006, the South & East Asia/Oceania Sociocratic Circle draws delegates from 6 countries (Australia, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Sri Lanka) who participate in monthly teleconference sessions.

== Current Status ==

Teleconference â€˜meetingsâ€™ are facilitated using Sociocratic principles and provide an open forum for discussion, allowing members to share what is important to them and request support from others towards collaborative projects.

Members in the South & East Asia/Oceania Circle also intend to facilitate a face-to-face meeting of NVC leaders working in our geographical area on an annual basis. The first of these took place in Queensland, Australia during September 2006 and attracted 36 'NVC leaders' from 4 countries. Please visit www.nvcinbusiness.com/Regional.htm if you would like to know more about this.

'''Breakthroughs during 2006 include:'''

* '''''March 2006:''''' Representatives from India, South Korea and Sri Lanka join our Circle meetings. The election of the first Regional Representative to join CNVCâ€™s Global Coordinating Committee.

* '''''April 2006:''''' Applications from advocates in India, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Uganda to join a gathering of NVC leaders scheduled to take place in Queensland, Australia.

* '''''May 2006:''''' First representative from New Zealand joins our Circle

* '''''July 2006:''''' Agreement with CNVC that it will act as a â€˜funding agentâ€™, allowing S&EA/O to collect and manage financial contributions offered to it.

* '''''August 2006:''''' CNVC agrees to cover S&EA/Oâ€™s cost of participation at a face-to-face meeting of GCC members to held in Atlanta, USA during October 2006.

* '''''September 2006:''''' S&EA/Oâ€™s second â€˜Leader-Full Gatheringâ€™ attracts 36 NVC leaders from 4 different countries. â€˜Profitâ€™ from the gathering is contributed towards supporting S&EA/Oâ€™s on-going development costs.

== Future Plans ==

* To contribute a representative voice to a face-to-face meeting of GCC members in Atlanta, US, which will take place in October 2006
* To establish a regional identity at the CNVC website
* To create a fund raising strategy that can support NVC-related projects
* To obtain training in Sociocracy and to share this with others
* To expand our capacity to deliver training across our region
* Intensive training for future trainers to take place in India during 2006
* To maximise the impact of the IIT in Pune, India 2006
* To host one or more gatherings of NVC Leaders in future years
* Intensive training for future trainers to take place in Sri Lanka during 2007
* To host â€˜the best everâ€™ IIT in Bali, Indonesia in October 2007
* To create connections with other organisations whose work supports ours and whose work we can support

== Teleconference Minutes ==

To understand our process around recording our history and sharing any collaborative strategies we might settle upon, please download our document, [[Media:Minutes.pdf|CREATING AN HISTORICAL RECORD]].

Out of valuing the integrity of our records, minutes from our teleconferences will be posted to this site in .pdf format after voting members have approved them. The following documents have been accepted by members prior to their appearance here.

== Face-to-Face Gatherings in S&E Asia/Oceania ==

S&EA/O is proud to have hosted [[A Gathering of Leaders in NVC]] in Queensland, Australia during October 2006 that attracted 34 advocates for NVC from 4 countries.

We aim to remain in contact with participants from that Gathering and support the creation of further gatherings during 2007 and beyond.

== Web Presence/Financial Contributions ==

As of August 2006, CNVC has agreed to act as a funding agent on our behalf, and members in the global network wishing to contribute gifts of money towards 'Governance in S&E Asia/Oceania' are more than welcome to do so either off-line or on-line.

Until further notice, funding will be used to cover travel costs and training for advocates for NVC wishing to develop skills that allow them to participate in their own governance and/or negotiate with both Government and Non-Government funding entities in our area.

Where it appears likely that doing so might serve to support our needs, funds may also be used to â€˜purchaseâ€™ services from CNVC â€“ e.g. training by Marshall and/or promotional materials.

Please visit [http://www.cnvc.org/donation.htm www.cnvc.org] to contribute gifts of money or download our document [[Media:Creating a Giraffe Economy.pdf|CREATING A GIRAFFE ECONOMY]] to get some ideas as to how you can raise funds to cover your own training expenses.

Please also be aware of S&EA/O's reluctance to invest limited resources in developing any more elaborate web presence at this point in time. We plan to make use of whatever new technology CNVC's IT Committee is able to make available as and when this comes on line.

Lg4nvc: /* Items for Agenda consideration for face-to-face meeting Oct. 2006 */

Welcome to the CNVC GCC section of NVCwiki. The goal of this area is to enable CNVC GCC (formerly referred to as CNVC Board) members and others they might select, to edit official documents. It is our hope that two needs may be met in this way. First, the CNVC GCC will be able to collaborate on the creation of official documents by using this wiki interface. Second, anyone interested in better understanding CNVC decisions will be able to watch the documents evolve and add their own comments and suggestions in the Public Comment areas. Having GCC documents on wiki and implementing Sociocracy in meetings and GCC member selection are two strategies for improving communication and collaboration within the global NVC community.
----

=Items for Agenda consideration for face-to-face meeting Oct. 2006=
* '''Shared Reality''' - What do our various worlds look like? Essentially, this would be provide a space for us to understand what appears important in each of our home environments.(Liz)
* CNVC projects, including '''The Costa Rican Peace Army's request to be a CNVC project.''' (Descriptive file for CRPA sent to GCC members.) (Jori)
* Budgeting priorities, including governance (Jori)
* Relationship between CNVC and Marshall (Jori)
* Leadership and governance priorities (Jori)
* Review of the Aim of CNVC (read by Katherine at 28 Aug. meeting:
** CNVC's aim is to provide Nonviolent Communication (NVC) training, materials, consulting, and projects that develop harmonious and effective relationships and organizations.
* Requests from S&EA/O that may or may not require GCC attention:
** That CNVC appoints a â€˜Regional Coordinatorâ€™ chosen by us with authority to use CNVC-conferred title in correspondence. (''Rationale:'' moves S&EA/O towards a goal of establishing a more powerful regional identity, allowing contributing countries to develop national identities thereafter. Provides S&EA/O with credibility in its negotiations with funding bodies.) (Liz)
** Than an agreement made between Jori and its members that allows inclusion of a representative elected by us in any scholarship committee that is considering applications for IITs scheduled to take place in our region be documented (in order to avoid confusion in the event CNVC's leadership configuration might change). Also, we might like to notice this agreement being extended to include scholarship committee deliberations around Special Sessions. (''Rationale:'' supports our execution of a regional development strategy that includes participation by key players learning opportunities for key players.) (Liz)
** Inclusion of one or more trainers chosen by us at IITs taking place in our region, starting with Bali 2007. (''Rationale:'' cements regional relationships and allows follow-through to happen.) (Liz)

Even if you save changes you don't like, it's easy in the wiki interface to revert to previous versions. See the "history" function at the very top to get a sense of that. History is also great for finding out who made which changes and comparing different versions with colors to show which parts are different.

Be sure to also check out the "Recent changes" item in the "navigation" menu on the left. With that feature you can quickly see what has been written on the entire site, rather than looking up each item individually. Since the contributions on the site right now are mostly related to Board business, you'll probably see our discussions on the first page displayed.

If you'd like to experiment, click "edit" in the right margin next to the title of the next "Experiment" section and type in your text in the line below this one. If you have questions about how to use wiki, this would be a great place to ask them since others could see and learn from them too.

==How To Create A New Topic==
An easy way to create a new topic is to simply put the name you'd like it to have inside [[double square brackets]], and click Save Page. That will create an empty page, and a link to it that will be red in color until there is content at that location. To create the content, just click on the red link (which takes you to that empty page and puts you in Edit mode) and then type in the content. When you click Save Page for that, the link to it will change to blue color.

Lg4nvc: /* Items for Agenda consideration for face-to-face meeting Oct. 2006 */

Welcome to the CNVC GCC section of NVCwiki. The goal of this area is to enable CNVC GCC (formerly referred to as CNVC Board) members and others they might select, to edit official documents. It is our hope that two needs may be met in this way. First, the CNVC GCC will be able to collaborate on the creation of official documents by using this wiki interface. Second, anyone interested in better understanding CNVC decisions will be able to watch the documents evolve and add their own comments and suggestions in the Public Comment areas. Having GCC documents on wiki and implementing Sociocracy in meetings and GCC member selection are two strategies for improving communication and collaboration within the global NVC community.
----

=Items for Agenda consideration for face-to-face meeting Oct. 2006=
* '''Shared Reality''' - What do our various worlds look like? Essentially, this would be provide a space for us to understand what appears important in each of our home environments.(Liz)
* CNVC projects, including '''The Costa Rican Peace Army's request to be a CNVC project.''' (Descriptive file for CRPA sent to GCC members.) (Jori)
* Budgeting priorities, including governance (Jori)
* Relationship between CNVC and Marshall (Jori)
* Leadership and governance priorities (Jori)
* Review of the Aim of CNVC (read by Katherine at 28 Aug. meeting:
** CNVC's aim is to provide Nonviolent Communication (NVC) training, materials, consulting, and projects that develop harmonious and effective relationships and organizations.
* Requests from S&EA/O that may or may not require GCC attention:
** That CNVC appoints a â€˜Regional Coordinatorâ€™ chosen by us with authority to use CNVC-conferred title in correspondence. (''Rationale:'' moves S&EA/O towards a goal of establishing a regional identity, allowing contributing countries to develop national identities thereafter. Provides S&EA/O with credibility in its negotiations with funding bodies.) (Liz)
** Than an agreement made between Jori and its members that allows inclusion of a representative elected by us in any scholarship committee that is considering applications for IITs scheduled to take place in our region be documented (in order to avoid confusion in the event CNVC's leadership configuration might change). Also, we might like to notice this agreement being extended to include scholarship committee deliberations around Special Sessions. (''Rationale:'' supports our execution of a regional development strategy that includes participation by key players learning opportunities for key players.) (Liz)
** Inclusion of one or more trainers chosen by us at IITs taking place in our region, starting with Bali 2007. (''Rationale:'' cements regional relationships and allows follow-through to happen.) (Liz)

The Global Coordinating Council (GCC) will include members nominated by councils of people from large geographic areas and populations made up of representatives of smaller more localized organizations and will thus provide linking of our community at the local level and to the global level providing the connections that can support our perspective and growth.

Anyone can edit on the discussion page for each section. Insert empty lines to get paragraph breaks.
* Put an asterisk * at the very start of a line to make it a bullet item.

# Put a pound sign # at the very start of a line to make it a numbered item.

If you want to create an indented line:
: Put a colon : at the very start of a line to indent that line. Notice that if the line is long enough to reach the right margin, the entire paragraph will be indented. This indent continues until you create a new line in edit mode using your Enter/Return key.

* '''Proposal relating to CNVC's Cost of Governance:''' As of September 2006, the GCC agrees to invest US$10,000 or 20% of CNVC's previous annual 'profit', whichever is greater, towards its overall cost of governance. Funds may be invested against delegates' expenses and/or against services necessary to the GCC's effectiveness - e.g. training, facilitation, celebrations, etc. (''Rationale:'' Existing governance policies refer to an amount of 'up to US$10,000', which appears to leave space for us to 'forget to invest' in governance. Setting aside a minimum amount that is no greater than the existing 'permisable' amount may contribute to a reduction in our overall cost of governance - e.g. the cost to our collective well-being when needs for connection and understanding aren't met. Allowing a potentially larger amount - i.e. a percentage of a previous year's profit/income - allows space for membership in the GCC to grow without breaking the bank.) (Liz)

* '''Proposal relating to CNVC's Cost of Governance:''' As of September 2006, the GCC agrees to invest US$10,000 or 20% of CNVC's previous annual 'profit', whichever is greater, towards its overall cost of governance. Funds may be invested against delegates' expenses and/or against services necessary to the GCC's effectiveness - e.g. training, facilitation, celebrations, etc. (''Rationale:'' Existing governance policies refer to an amount of 'up to US$10,000', which appears to leave space for us to 'forget to invest' in governance. Setting aside a minimum amount that is no greater than the existing 'permisable' amount may contribute to a reduction in our overall cost of governance - e.g. the cost to our collective well-being when needs for connection and understanding aren't met. Allowing a potentially larger amount - i.e. a percentage of a previous year's profit/income - allows space for membership in the GCC to grow without breaking the bank.) (Liz)
* CNVC projects, including '''The Costa Rican Peace Army's request to be a CNVC project.''' (Descriptive file for CRPA sent to GCC members.) (Jori)
* Budgeting priorities, including governance (Jori)
* Relationship between CNVC and Marshall (Jori)
* Leadership and governance priorities (Jori)
* Review of the Aim of CNVC (read by Katherine at 28 Aug. meeting:
** CNVC's aim is to provide Nonviolent Communication (NVC) training, materials, consulting, and projects that develop harmonious and effective relationships and organizations.

=GCC Draft Proposal=
This is a working document adopted by the CNVC Board May 2006 to create a global leadership group that is inclusive, responsive to, and representative of the entire global NVC community (for example by including sociocratically selected members) and linked into the CNVC board in a manner that allows for effective overall cooperation.
The Global Coordinating Council (GCC) will include members nominated by councils of people from large geographic areas and populations made up of representatives of smaller more localized organizations and will thus provide linking of our community at the local level and to the global level providing the connections that can support our perspective and growth.

=How To Edit=
Once Board members have logged in they can click "edit" in one of these "Protected" areas on the right margin of the section they're interested in to open an editing window and then scroll down in the text to add their own comments. Anyone can edit on the discussion page for each section. Insert empty lines to get paragraph breaks.
* Put an asterisk * at the very start of a line to make it a bullet item.

# Put a pound sign # at the very start of a line to make it a numbered item.

If you want to create an indented line:
: Put a colon : at the very start of a line to indent that line. Notice that if the line is long enough to reach the right margin, the entire paragraph will be indented. This indent continues until you create a new line in edit mode using your Enter/Return key.

With JavaScript and Images turned on (the default settings), most web browsers will display helpful buttons at the top of the editing windows that automatically create headers, etc.

You can experiment with editing just by clicking "edit" and typing something in, and then clicking "Show preview" at the very bottom (rather than "Save page") to see what your changes look like. If you don't like how it came out you can scroll down to the edit window and continue editing or just click on "cancel" to the right of "Save page" or on "article" at the top to bail out completely without making any permanent changes.

Even if you save changes you don't like, it's easy in the wiki interface to revert to previous versions. See the "history" function at the very top to get a sense of that. History is also great for finding out who made which changes and comparing different versions with colors to show which parts are different.

Be sure to also check out the "Recent changes" item in the "navigation" menu on the left. With that feature you can quickly see what has been written on the entire site, rather than looking up each item individually. Since the contributions on the site right now are mostly related to Board business, you'll probably see our discussions on the first page displayed.

If you'd like to experiment, click "edit" in the right margin next to the title of the next "Experiment" section and type in your text in the line below this one. If you have questions about how to use wiki, this would be a great place to ask them since others could see and learn from them too.

==Experiment here==

----
==How To Create A New Topic==
An easy way to create a new topic is to simply put the name you'd like it to have inside [[double square brackets]], and click Save Page. That will create an empty page, and a link to it that will be red in color until there is content at that location. To create the content, just click on the red link (which takes you to that empty page and puts you in Edit mode) and then type in the content. When you click Save Page for that, the link to it will change to blue color.

S&EA/O Sociocratic Circle

2006-09-22T08:42:31Z

Lg4nvc: /* Web Presence/Financial Contributions */

Visitors to these pages are invited to contribute questions/opinions regarding efforts to share ideas and resources across the many national and cultural boarders that presently exist in a part of the world we have chosen to refer to as S&E Asia/Oceania.

If you are living and working with NVC in any country in our region, do please check back regularly against these pages in order to notice any new strategies we are able to develop that might help support a broader sense of inclusion in our network.

== Purpose ==

To coordinate publicity, fund-raising and training activities in South and East Asia and Oceania, supporting NVC teachers and trainers in reaching those living in under-resourced areas, particularly those at war and/or living in poverty.

== History ==

A group of 5 CNVC trainers who are also friends began teleconferencing together in 2005, formulating strategies for collaboration across international boarders. In March 2006, these individuals extended an invitation to NVC leaders living in other countries to contribute an elected representative to CNVCâ€™s Global Coordinating Circle. As of May 2006, the South & East Asia/Oceania Sociocratic Circle draws delegates from 6 countries (Australia, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Sri Lanka) who participate in monthly teleconference sessions.

== Current Status ==

Teleconference â€˜meetingsâ€™ are facilitated using Sociocratic principles and provide an open forum for discussion, allowing members to share what is important to them and request support from others towards collaborative projects.

Members in the South & East Asia/Oceania Circle also intend to facilitate a face-to-face meeting of NVC leaders working in our geographical area on an annual basis. The first of these took place in Queensland, Australia during September 2006 and attracted 36 'NVC leaders' from 4 countries. Please visit www.nvcinbusiness.com/Regional.htm if you would like to know more about this.

'''Breakthroughs during 2006 include:'''

* '''''March 2006:''''' Representatives from India, South Korea and Sri Lanka join our Circle meetings. The election of the first Regional Representative to join CNVCâ€™s Global Coordinating Committee.

* '''''April 2006:''''' Applications from advocates in India, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Uganda to join a gathering of NVC leaders scheduled to take place in Queensland, Australia.

* '''''May 2006:''''' First representative from New Zealand joins our Circle

* '''''July 2006:''''' Agreement with CNVC that it will act as a â€˜funding agentâ€™, allowing S&EA/O to collect and manage financial contributions offered to it.

* '''''August 2006:''''' CNVC agrees to cover S&EA/Oâ€™s cost of participation at a face-to-face meeting of GCC members to held in Atlanta, USA during October 2006.

* '''''September 2006:''''' S&EA/Oâ€™s second â€˜Leader-Full Gatheringâ€™ attracts 36 NVC leaders from 4 different countries. â€˜Profitâ€™ from the gathering is contributed towards supporting S&EA/Oâ€™s on-going development costs.

== Future Plans ==

* To contribute a representative voice to a face-to-face meeting of GCC members in Atlanta, US, which will take place in October 2006
* To establish a regional identity at the CNVC website
* To create a fund raising strategy that can support NVC-related projects
* To obtain training in Sociocracy and to share this with others
* To expand our capacity to deliver training across our region
* Intensive training for future trainers to take place in India during 2006
* To maximise the impact of the IIT in Pune, India 2006
* To host one or more gatherings of NVC Leaders in future years
* Intensive training for future trainers to take place in Sri Lanka during 2007
* To host â€˜the best everâ€™ IIT in Bali, Indonesia in October 2007
* To create connections with other organisations whose work supports ours and whose work we can support

== Teleconference Minutes ==
To understand our process around recording our history and sharing any collaborative strategies we might settle upon, please download our document, [[Media:Minutes.pdf|CREATING AN HISTORICAL RECORD]].

Out of valuing the integrity of our records, minutes from our teleconferences will be posted to this site in .pdf format after voting members have approved them. The following documents have been accepted by members prior to their appearance here.

== Face-to-Face Gatherings in S&E Asia/Oceania ==
S&EA/O is proud to have hosted [[A Gathering of Leaders in NVC]] in Queensland, Australia during October 2006 that attracted 34 advocates for NVC from 4 countries.

We aim to remain in contact with participants from that Gathering and support the creation of further gatherings during 2007 and beyond.

== Web Presence/Financial Contributions ==

As of August 2006, CNVC has agreed to act as a funding agent on our behalf, and members in the global network wishing to contribute gifts of money towards 'Governance in S&E Asia/Oceania' are more than welcome to do so either off-line or on-line.

Until further notice, funding will be used to cover travel costs and training for advocates for NVC wishing to develop skills that allow them to participate in their own governance and/or negotiate with both Government and Non-Government funding entities in our area.

Where it appears likely that doing so might serve to support our needs, funds may also be used to â€˜purchaseâ€™ services from CNVC â€“ e.g. training by Marshall and/or promotional materials.

Please visit [http://www.cnvc.org/donation.htm www.cnvc.org] to contribute gifts of money or download our document [[Media:Creating a Giraffe Economy.pdf|CREATING A GIRAFFE ECONOMY]] to get some ideas as to how you can raise funds to cover your own training expenses.

Please also be aware of S&EA/O's reluctance to invest limited resources in developing any more elaborate web presence at this point in time. We plan to make use of whatever new technology CNVC's IT Committee is able to make available as and when this comes on line.

Montage of Shared Experience

2006-09-22T08:29:04Z

Lg4nvc:

Here's a page where participants at S&EA/O's October 2006 Leader-Full Gathering can contribute feedback around their experience and or any small .jpgs you've been wanting to share.

It ain't ideal, exactly, but at least it doesn't cost anything. Also, I'm guessing anyone who feels inclined to create a more detailed record and knows how to will be kind enough to post a link to his/her creation here.

== Feedback ==
'''From Liz Gay, Singapore:''' I'm particularly grateful to those dear souls who stayed up to support my participation in a GCC teleconference that took place between 1.00am and 3.30am. The atmosphere throughout the six days of our gathering together contributed to needs of mine for replenishment, sharing, fun and care. I continue to feel extraordinarilly warm and fuzzy when I recall various incidents, especially our 'No Talent Show' and 'Closing Circles' or whatever we eventually called those elements in our programme.

A Gathering of Leaders in NVC

2006-09-22T08:12:30Z

Lg4nvc:

During September 2005, four NVC trainers from Australia and Singapore met in Sydney, Australia and had so much fun together, they decided to invite others to join them at a similar meeting the following hear.

During October 2006 then, thirty four advocates for NVC, this time from four countries, met in Queensland, Australia in order to share learning and resources with one another.

Members in the [[S&EA/O Sociocratic Circle]] aim to invite would-be organisers for a similar event that might take place in 2007 to connect with them soon.

== What We Said in Our Web Ad ==
'''COME AND PLAY!'''

If you dream of cultivating NVC consciousness in our society, this gathering is for you!

If you want to recognise your own leadership skills, speak authentically and find the resources to make your vision a reality, this gathering is for you!

If you long for NVC community and for the magical synergy that happens when individual longings are spoken and received, this gathering is for you!

A GATHERING OF NVC ORGANISERS, TEACHERS, TRAINERS, SHARERS AND DREAMERS WHO ARE CONTRIBUTING TO OUR NVC COMMUNITY.

== What it Looked Like ==
Participants at our 2006 Gathering are invited to contribute here to our [[Montage of Shared Experience]], where you can add an OFNR description of your experience at our event and/or small .jpg files.

Alternatively, here's hoping any participant with the technical skills to establish an alternative site where larger photographs can be shared will be willing to provide a link somewhere in these pages.

Do please also check back against these pages where organisers may choose to post information relating to future events.

Visitors to these pages are invited to contribute questions/opinions to our discussions. If you are living and working with NVC in our region, do please check back regularly with us in order to notice our endeavours to expand our discussions.

== Purpose of the Circle ==

To coordinate publicity, fund-raising and training activities in South and East Asia and Oceania, supporting NVC teachers and trainers in reaching those living in under-resourced areas, particularly those at war and/or living in poverty.

== History ==

A group of 5 CNVC trainers who are also friends began teleconferencing together in 2005, formulating strategies for collaboration across international boarders. In March 2006, these individuals extended an invitation to NVC leaders living in other countries to contribute an elected representative to CNVCâ€™s Global Coordinating Circle. As of May 2006, the South & East Asia/Oceania Sociocratic Circle draws delegates from 6 countries (Australia, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Sri Lanka) who participate in monthly teleconference sessions.

== Current Status of the Circle ==

Teleconference â€˜meetingsâ€™ are facilitated using Sociocratic principles and provide an open forum for discussion, allowing members to share what is important to them and request support from others towards collaborative projects.

In March 2006, these individuals extended an invitation to NVC leaders living in other countries to contribute an elected representative to CNVCâ€™s Global Coordinating Circle. As of May 2006, the South & East Asia/Oceania Sociocratic Circle draws delegates from 6 countries (Australia, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Sri Lanka) who participate in monthly teleconference sessions.

== Current Status of the Circle ==

Teleconference â€˜meetingsâ€™ are facilitated using Sociocratic principles and provide an open forum for discussion, allowing members to share what is important to them and request support from others towards collaborative projects.

Members in the South & East Asia/Oceania Circle also intend to facilitate a face-to-face meeting of NVC leaders working in our geographical area on an annual basis. The first of these took place in Queensland, Australia during September 2006 and attracted 36 'NVC leaders' from 4 countries. Please visit www.nvcinbusiness.com/Regional.htm if you would like to know more about this.

To coordinate publicity, fund-raising and training activities in South and East Asia and Oceania, supporting NVC teachers and trainers in reaching those living in under-resourced areas, particularly those at war and/or living in poverty.

== History and background ==

A group of 5 CNVC trainers who are also friends began teleconferencing together in 2005, formulating strategies for collaboration across international boarders. In March 2006, these individuals extended an invitation to NVC leaders living in other countries to contribute an elected representative to CNVCâ€™s Global Coordinating Circle. As of May 2006, the South & East Asia/Oceania Sociocratic Circle draws delegates from 6 countries (Australia, India, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea and Sri Lanka) who participate in monthly teleconference sessions.

== Current status of the Circle ==

Teleconference â€˜meetingsâ€™ are facilitated using Sociocratic principles and provide an open forum for discussion, allowing members to share what is important to them and request support from others towards collaborative projects.

Members in the South & East Asia/Oceania Circle also intend to facilitate a face-to-face meeting of NVC leaders working in our geographical area on an annual basis. The first of these took place in Queensland, Australia during September 2006 and attracted 36 'NVC leaders' from 4 countries. Please visit www.nvcinbusiness.com/Regional.htm if you would like to know more about this.

'''Breakthroughs during 2006 include:'''

* '''''March 2006:''''' Representatives from India, South Korea and Sri Lanka join our Circle meetings. The election of the first Regional Representative to join CNVCâ€™s Global Coordinating Committee.

* '''''April 2006:''''' Applications from advocates in India, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Uganda to join a gathering of NVC leaders scheduled to take place in Queensland, Australia.

* '''''May 2006:''''' First representative from New Zealand joins our Circle

* '''''July 2006:''''' Agreement with CNVC that it will act as a â€˜funding agentâ€™, allowing S&EA/O to collect and manage financial contributions offered to it.

* '''''August 2006:''''' CNVC agrees to cover S&EA/Oâ€™s cost of participation at a face-to-face meeting of GCC members to held in Atlanta, USA during October 2006.

* '''''September 2006:''''' S&EA/Oâ€™s second â€˜Leader-Full Gatheringâ€™ attracts 36 NVC leaders from 4 different countries. â€˜Profitâ€™ from the gathering is contributed towards supporting S&EA/Oâ€™s on-going development costs.

== Future Plans ==

* To contribute a representative voice to a face-to-face meeting of GCC members in Atlanta, US, which will take place in October 2006
* To establish a regional identity at the CNVC website
* To create a fund raising strategy that can support NVC-related projects
* To obtain training in Sociocracy and to share this with others
* To expand our capacity to deliver training across our region
* Intensive training for future trainers to take place in India during 2006
* To maximise the impact of the IIT in Pune, India 2006
* To host one or more gatherings of NVC Leaders in future years
* Intensive training for future trainers to take place in Sri Lanka during 2007
* To host â€˜the best everâ€™ IIT in Bali, Indonesia in October 2007
* To create connections with other organisations whose work supports ours and whose work we can support

'''New NVC space on MySpace.com'''

I recently set up a new "group" on MySpace.com explicitly for people that are into Nonviolent Communication. MySpace.com seems to be the largest and most popular social networking web service out there, and it is free to use, so I created this group to help support whatever NVC people might be on it. If you have a MySpace.com account, I invite you to come join and participate in this group online. The URL for this group is:

http://groups.myspace.com/nonviolentcommunication

I look forward to seeing you there!
