Metagov Governance Workshops - Exquisite Corpse in Common: An Experiment in Sociocratic Surrealism

Abstract: For this Practical Governance workshop, the group in attendance will compose a collective poem. This will be accomplished by introducing the basic principles of Sociocratic governance -- rounds-based deliberation, consent-based decisions, and delegation to linked circles -- and dividing into groups to create, review, and decide on different parts of the poem's language using those principles as a guide. The result will be a poem resembling the "exquisite corpse" drawing game, in which each participant will have contributed at least one word to the finished poem.
