What you need to know about the Steward Circle
Monthly meetings
We hold monthly meetings online on Zoom, most of the time on the 1st Sunday of every month at 7pm CET. Exceptionally we can change this date, but we try to avoid it because it create confusion.
All meetings are open to any faeries, the non-stewards can bring topics to the table, participate to the discussions but cannot vote/make an objection.
The agenda is prepared by the focus bringer and every meeting starts by finding a facilitator and a minutes-taker for the meeting.

Communication channels
To be rewritten : The chat is mostly about news, quick consultation, venting and sometimes easy decisions (whenever the quorum of 5 is reached and no objection seems to come). Loomio is for deeper inquiry about the topic and discussions can be open to non stewards as well as be in a closed group. Loomio allows decision making (espciecally to validate gathering calls, residency,…). And the zoom meeting is for topics that could not be solved in another space, or that need to be confirmed or that are too sensitive, and decisions are mostly taken by consensus if the quorum is reached. If a decision is extra sensitive or complex, we can use sociocracy
