Click here to learn more about the recommendations by R&R Working Group
- Power and responsibilities need to be redistributed on the principle of self management (subsidiarity)
- Decisions should be taken at the “lowest” possible level / as near as possible to the process/community/activity that will be affected by the decision
- To establish a framework for decision-making, there will be a charter of principles, values, and governance behaviours. The charter will be developed through an equitable process with broad and diverse participation.
- This charter will be owned by a global governance and accountability body
- All of this exists to support our primary purpose: free knowledge and its distribution
- Movement organizations are to be governed by diverse, inclusive and accountable bodies (mix of elected and appointed members)
- Capacity building, facilitation, coaching, leadership development will be built into these structures to enable all entities to develop at their speed. This will be supported by staff.
