[Kzyxtalk] worker directed nonprofit, an example

[Scott Peterson]

Dear King,

Thanks for the great post. You can find an interesting webinar here:

http://www.theselc.org/worker_selfdirected_nonprofits

One of the things that SELC acknowledges as a force is something

called 'Tyranny of Structurelessness'. That without detailed policy,

tyranny evolves. MCPB took that concept one step further. Where

it actually _had_ detailed policy, but ignored it. And tyranny took

took over. It's discussed at 17:00 and 28:00.

Also, SELC discusses the importance of a conflict of interest policy.

At 51:45. Something that MCPB doesn't have.

And SELC is growing like a proverbial weed. Look at this chart:

This is only its operating budget. It's also got $23 million in net assets.

Sincerely,

Scott M. Peterson

Mendocino

>Dear KZYX thinkers,
Below is a post from the Sustainable Economics Law Center. It's about a functioning "worker self-directed nonprofit." Such nonprofits do exist and support Marco's argument that KZYX could function so that programmers and staff members are economically and politically equal, or more equal.
