The occupation rules and government. This is how we succeeded in getting this far. This is how you occupy.<\/p>\n

\n\u00b7 Each new resident is subject to a three day probationary period, followed by an additional two week period.
\n\u00b7 Breaking a rule constitutes a strike \u2013 three strikes and out (a minimum 30 day suspension or permanent expulsion)
\n\u00b7 Internal governance is defined in a separate document (see below) \u2013 basically a modified consensus procedure is to be used<\/p>\n
Encampment Self-Governance Procedures<\/p>\n
Self rule with consensus.<\/p>\n
On items for approval, a desired 100% consensus is sought, with a graduated scale.
\n\u00b7 70% minimum is required to approve an item, but it must be revisited monthly to revise and improve consensus percentage.
\n\u00b7 At 80% approval, an item gets revisited every two months to revise and improve consensus percentage.
\n\u00b7 At 90% approval, an item gets revisited every 6 months to revise and improve consensus.<\/p>\n
\u00b7 If 100% approval is reached, the only way to revisit is with 51% approval to revisit.<\/p>\n
If an item goes from above 70% approval to below 70% approval, it is dropped as an item unless resubmitted. [it is no part of the rules or no longer a resolution of the camp?]<\/p>\n
To submit, a proposal needs to be made with 10% community backing. To revisit an item earlier than scheduled requires 51% community support.<\/p>\n
Items must be revised before being resubmitted.<\/p>\n
Changes in the government can be made following these basic rules. Unpopular items can be revisited and lose consensus. As the village evolves, these guidelines will allow for the government and community guidelines to evolve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
