General Company Governance Meeting Minutes

All Circle Members shall align their prioritization and attention with the following strategies:

• Emphasize "Documenting & Aligning to Standards", even over "Developing & Co-Creating Novelty"

In lieu of the Lead Link specifying strategies, the Circle shall regularly engage in the following "Strategy Meeting" process to define strategies:

1. Check-in Round
2. Review Purpose, Scope, & Accountabilities of Circle
3. Retrospective: Reflect & Capture…
   a) What was done as a result of the previous strategy
   b) Notable facts & events; external changes, opportunities, trends, data, etc.
4. Record Tensions surfaced in retrospective
5. Brainstorm to diverge (Mind Map): "What might make sense to emphasize operationally to address these Tensions?" (Capture output as phrases starting with -ing verbs)
6. Distill Key Threads & Patterns from Brainstorming
7. Discuss to converge: "What strategy should guide our decision making? What should we emphasize?"
8. Lead Link proposes one or more strategies; process proposal via IDM
9. Unpack the Strategy: Brainstorm, what could change to better embody the new strategy; capture Next-Actions as-needed
10. Closing Round

Strategies shall use the form of "Emphasize x, even over y", where x and y are both -ing verb phrases, and represent two connected poles of a polarity with both poles having value independently.
