At the last wellington hub meeting there was some discussion about where the hub fits in with the local groups, and some confusion over what things are called. This diagram is the result of some of the things that were said. It is a suggestion for how things might work, nothing is set in stone. Your comments on this would be great! :) » Read more

Subgroups

Step # 5 calls for forming subgroups. Though it is still early the Wellington central group agreed that:

  1. Many subgroups are best coordinated city wide (eg. Transport, Local Government).
  2. The 12 step process is running and can run concurrently.

We have drawn up an initial subgroup list to encourage thought about the larger project. We invite people to consider where their passions lie and self-select. It may be useful to work on Step # 4. The Great Unleashing before these groups formalise. » Read more
