Approving the Annual Budget per Sphere and Holon

Based on the active development plan and the budget allocated to the agency for the year by the Economy Holon, each holon will calculate how much they need to achieve their priority deliverables and

What % should each Thematic get from the General Gaia Fund

Rainbow Governance Projects General Sphere

Its composed of the following:
– 6 Votes The Agency General Sphere Representatives + 9 from each Fund
– 7 Votes representatives from the Thematic Sphere
– 11 Votes from the Stewardship Councils.

A clarity round gives people a chance to ask questions, clarify points and also a round to suggest changes or add or delete something to improve the proposal. When a proposal is complete it is presented for a consent round.

If someone has an objection to the proposal, they are responsible to come up with a reasonable proposal to test their assumptions and concerns, by a certain date defined by the meeting facilitator, or their objection will be noted, and the proposal approved. If consent is not reached by a predetermined dateline, then the process will be resolved by voting. The percentage of agreement required is determined by the Stewards of the Sphere.

Accordingly, each participating member of the holon shall openly and transparently argue in a sufficient and reasoned manner the basis of his or her position in accordance with the direction of the vote he or she takes.

 This ensures the formation of an open, transparent and well-informed proposal, in which each member has the opportunity to express his or her point of view effectively and contribute to the construction of the best possible decision in accordance with the particular circumstances and Gaia’s objectives.

There are two linked processes for assigning activities, rewarding and recognizing members who actively participate. These processes are detailed below:

Assignment of activities (roles, tasks or functions)

The members of the Holon identify an activity previously defined by the holons as well as the expected results and specific deliverables.

The Holon votes for the activities to be executed against the defined project.

The Sphere or Holon votes for those who will be in charge of the execution of the activities.

The budget allocation is subject to the following conditions:

– If the Holon already has a budget allocated by the Holon of economy and finance, it is up to each Holon internally to establish and dispose of its own resources;

– If the Holon does not have its own budget allocation, the budget proposal will be sent to the Spiral Management Sphere and, in case of approval, the resources for execution of activities will be granted by the Holon of economy and finance.

Cyclical compensation

• GAIA proposes and defines a set of Roles and Archetypes/Ranges of Remuneration based on a Fair, Transparent & Solidarity Model.

• Every person has the right to apply and be recognized under a predefined Archetype/Rank for their sphere or holon, with a time commitment level of 1% to 100%, and a specific period of maximum 12 months.

• The corresponding holon or sphere can vote the amount of the economic retribution for each person or each proposal, only if it has a budget approved by the main sphere of GAIA COMMONS or, considering the remaining resources according to the approved proposal and according to the objectives of the holon, seeking the efficient management of the resources that may be allocated. Any economic retribution must be decided in the GAIA COMMONS main sphere.

• In the event of temporary or absolute absence of the member, the degree of commitment will be subject to the evaluation of the holon or sphere in order to determine the deadlines for compliance, progress, results, deliverables and, if applicable, to recognize the corresponding retribution by means of a vote.

Onboarding

An individual becomes a Citizen of Gaia Hub by going through an on-boarding process from guest to citizen. As a person learns how the community functions and contributes time and value, more capabilities are earned. This Engagement Spiral Spreadsheet details the onboard steps

Passive Guest: A person who joins a Gaia Hub mailing list and/or attends community events. They have made no commitments or contributions to the community. Just checking it out.

Active Guest: When a guest reads the constitution, signs up for a wallet, learns to trade tokens and learns about smart contracts, they become ‘active’. An active guest can give and receive non-financial tokens like gratitude tokens and buy and sell goods on Local Scale. Active guests can take on simple volunteer roles to add value to the community and earn hours of valued participation.

Resident: An Active Guest signs the constitution, and has their trust validated by the Social Inclusion Council to become a resident. Residents can make proposals to the governing holons, volunteer in more complex roles to earn the right of Voice in governance meetings.

Gaian Citizen: Gain the right to join governing fractals, holons or spheres to vote on proposals.
