Designing a Constitution for a Community
Camille Canon (Apiary)
Abstract: This is a talk exploring Apiary's work on the purpose/constitutional design of Radicle. We have been supporting the founders and community in drafting a purpose statement, and are now helping them design a governance structure to protect/steward/expand that purpose. It's been a very community-inclusive process and stands out as a viable example of a "constitution"—one that is adaptable and stems from community needs.
