Up to Mastodon

The process just after registration is opened on neuromatch.social where the new members collectively decide how they want the instance to run :)

This includes:

Mastodon/Governance: Decide how decisionmaking works!
Mastodon/Code of Conduct: Decide the rules that govern behavior on the instance!

... what else???

Process

During the first six weeks, from 2022-12-09 to 2023-01-20 (the ~bootstrapping period~) new members will register on the instance and go through Mastodon/Onboarding to make additional accounts on the Discord and Loomio.

The goal of the bootstrapping period are:

Make Discussions and Proposals (see Mastodon/Governance) to make decisions about how the instance is to be run.
Volunteer for and begin to coordinate Mastodon/Working Groups to maintain operation of the instance.
Decide on how the instance is to be Financed (see also: Mastodon/Financial WG).

During the Bootstrapping period:

Decisions will be made using the process described in Mastodon/Governance - The governance process itself can be changed by a passing proposal as well.
Documents that do not already exist can be created using the semantic property [[Approval Status::Provisional]], instead of needing to seek discussion and approval for making changes as might typically be required.
Changes to existing documents should be discussed in the discord and can be edited more freely, but in the case of disagreement or controversy those changes should be brought to a more formal discussion and proposal process on Loomio
All existing policies or other governance documents should be considered provisional until approved, and thus subject for editing. The only exception are the Mastodon/Bylaws which require a greater threshold of consensus in order to be changed.
