Abschnitt 3b: Gründung einer neuen Arbeitsgruppe / eines Kreises / Projekts / Mikro-Unternehmens

CreatingEtwas somethingNeues newzu isschaffen, alwaysist immer ein spannender Prozess. Die Grundhaltung des CoLab ist es, Zusammenarbeit und neue Aktivitäten zu fördern.

Die einzige übergreifende Voraussetzung für eine Gründung ist die Übereinstimmung mit den CoLab-VMAs (Vision, Mission, Zielen).

Um CoLab, Arbeitsgruppen, Projekte und Mikro-Unternehmen zu schützen gibt es zusätzliche Anforderungen.

Gründung einer neuen Arbeitsgruppe / eines Projekts

Arbeitsgruppen und Projekte sind die informellsten Strukturen im CoLab. Um eine Arbeitsgruppe zu starten, braucht man lediglich andere Mitglieder, die gemeinsam an excitingdem process.Thema Thearbeiten CoLab’smöchten. ethosEs iswird toempfohlen, encourageein collaborationMitglied andeinzubeziehen, newdas activity.schon länger dabei ist, um bei Bedarf Unterstützung zu erhalten.

Arbeitsgruppen können innerhalb oder außerhalb von Kreisen existieren.

Um doppelte Arbeit zu vermeiden, sollten Mitglieder, die eine Arbeitsgruppe oder ein Projekt starten wollen, ihre Intention klären, untereinander abstimmen und offen für  die Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Gruppen bleiben, die möglicherweise zu den Zielen beitragen können.

Creating a new working group / project

Working groups and projects are the most informal set ups. To start a working group, all one would need is to find other members interested in the topic to work on. It is recommended to include a member of the CoLab who has been a member for some time in order to access guidance when support is needed.

Working groups can exist within circles or outside circles.

In order not to duplicate work, we encourage members who want to start working groups and projects to communicate their intentions and remain open to collaboration with other groups which may be able to contribute towards their efforts. The extent to which working groups do this is up to them.

If a working group / project is reaching out to people outside the CoLab and presenting themselves as from the CoLab, it is a requirement that the general circle is notified simply by sending a message on theim #general-circlecircle-Kanal. channelDies beforedient, thissondern isder done. This is not to limit activity but to increase awareness around how the CoLab is interacting with others externally.Transparenz.

Creating a new micro-enterprise

A micro-enterprise can be created within a circle, project or working group as a product or service derived from their activities.

However a micro-enterprise can also be created as a free-standing offer.

Anyone who would like to offer services, please come forward so they can be included on the website. Please include:

• your hourly rate, and

Fiscal Hosting for receiving donations / payments options

For individuals or very young startup micro-enterprises

The current option for micro-enterprises without starting a new collective is through the #funding-circle or #digital-circle. The fiscal host in this case is “Stichting Reculture Foundation”, which means you will pay a 5% of any income earned for fiscal host fees + a 10% min income sharing contribution + any bank transfer fees on outgoing payments.

Important to note that as an individual there is no contractual relationship between the fiscal host and yourself and you retain full fiscal responsibility to fulfill your fiscal obligations within your country of residence.

For groups and more established micro-enterprises

If multiple people are interested in co-offering a service and starting a micro-enterprise as a Permaculture CoLab related collective, the option exists to set up your own “Services Circle”, with its own Open Collective, with a permaculture-aligned fiscal host of your choice. You will need to get this through the General Circle consent process before your service is included on the website.

If you have other open accounting options in mind, other than Open Collective, these could also be considered and you could bring them up as alternative options. The key to any choice is a system that cannot be manipulated and edited after the payments are made; it must be public and easy to access for transparency.

Being a freelancer within the CoLab comes with a responsibility to the rest of the CoLab to maintain the reputation of being a reliable, good-quality service provider.
