Big Carrot food co-op member meetingSummaryThe Big Carrot food co-op used dotmocracy to inform the policy decision concerning staff uniforms. Date / TimeJanuary 2005, 30 minutes Name of Facilitator(s)Jason Diceman Number of participants45 Total number of ideas dotted20 PreambleI gave a brief explanation of the dotmocracy process. The issue of staff identification was already well understood by the members present. The two questions posted on the dotmocracy wall were: 1. What can we wear to identify ourselves to customers as Big Carrot employees?
DetailsThe 30 minute dotmocracy session was part of the bi-weekly staff meeting for the 45 member/owners. While a clear winner was not recognized immediately, the results were reviewed later and did inform a final policy of eusing an identifying shirt pin. They have since used dotmocracy for other decisions, such as renovations to their interior. LearningsIt took some real encouragement to get some members our of their chairs and dotting. There were also a few joke ideas posted that did not seem to discredit the process.
