07/03: New WCTC Vision
Since the WCTC closed its doors in Santa Cruz, there has been a void in how to move forward with building a community. Although we have the new Green Copy Program up and running and a start up project of creating a publication to keep our momentum, there is still a need for the community to come together and dialogue about new ideas even without a physical space to come to.
Until now, there hasn't been any visionary leps, but just last week the pieces started coming together, and just in time because the WCTC needs a cause to get people excited about donating again.
The Wellness Community Transformation Center would stay on as a model for future community centers. The focus of the WCTC would evolve towards the online Alliance.
And the new name of the most active component of the WCTC would become the...
World Collective for Transformative Communities Alliance
The fundamental value would be based on communication, by hosting a conference call to just bring the community together to Share stories and ideas. No agendas, no time frames, just sharing.
The Media Outlet of the WCTC will evolve its values of creating a new vision of Media based on communication and dialogue and not just a one way stream of information (top-down).
This is all just the beginning of these ideas, and there is more to come soon, and if you want you can look at the raw notes...

WCTC Evolved Vision
Evolve the primary name to:
World Collective for Transformative Communities (Alliance)
Have all the other WCTC projects branch off of the Alliance.
Have the foundational value be Communication, and not “Media”. The Media Outlet would evolve with a new vision of media based on Communication and Dialogue, and not Pushing information at the public, but actually having a meaningful dialogue with the public. Stories etc…
The foundation of the WCTC organism is online and not in a physical location.
The foundational space for the connection of people to come together is on a conference call and online forum. The purpose of the call is simply to chat and share with each other.
There will be a start time, but no end time.
Anyone can get on at anytime they want, and leave at anytime they want to.
There is no agenda.
There are basic ground rules on self-facilitation to give everyone who wants a chance to speak to have a chance.
Transformative Communication guidelines can be used as a starting ground to educate people but we cannot expect people know how to obide strictly to Transformative Communication, but when people majority overstep they should be educated.
All conference call times will be decide online through the online decision making process.
By attending a Conference call, and by signing on to a online form, all participants are agreeing to be publicly documented and recorded.
Although there is no official facilitator, note taker, time keeper, or vibes watcher, everyone is encouraged to document information on the online forum, and entire conference calls may be recorded and posted publicly online.
Structure is buddy groups are formed outside of the foundation conference calls, and volunteer representatives from the buddy groups participate in agreed upon meetings agreed upon online. This group will have decision-making authority, and discussion privileges on behalf of the foundational sharing conference calls. These meetings will be fully facilitated and documented with agendas. This group will have a separate decision making blog, and the foundational sharing conference calls will still have the ability to make their own proposal and decide their own meeting times, but through representation can make offical decision through the collective.
