Tribal Tikinas are formed

From Tribewanted

January 15, 2007

Vorovoro Tribe Tikinas (taken from the name for village council in Fiji) will be formed online to give the tribal decision-making and debating process more structure.

Tikinas will be formed this week and first members and elders will be announced in next weeks newsletter. If you would like to be on a Tikina, please add the name of the Tikina you wish to be on the forum thread, simply by saying: ‘I would like to be on the …..Tikina!’


How will the Tribal Tikinas work?

ROLE

  • The role of each to Tikina is to summarise all relevant discussions online and organise this information so that it can be turned into a vote or an action.

ELDERS

  • Each Tribal Tikina has one elder – the Tikina members will decide who is the elder.
  • The elders role is to co-ordinate all relevant information and feedback to Bengazi, and the Island Tikina (Elected chief and permanent island team) on a weekly basis. Information will then be uploaded online and into newsletters.
  • The Elders reward for their input will be tribal recognition and pride in what they have achieved for the tribe!

SIZE & STRUCTURE

  • There is no limit to the numbers in each Tikina –anyone who would like to get involved can. If, however, 50 people want to join 1 Tikina, then it might be sensible that only 10 at a time can be involved and this rotates monthly (5 in, 5 out). It is up to each to Tikina to work this out.
  • Tikina members and elders can join and leave Tikinas as they wish
  • New Tikinas can be formed and old ones can be dismantled. The tribe should aim to have no more than 12 Tikinas at any one time, to keep numbers communicating with the island tikina to a minimum and thus creating the ideal tribal tikina pyramid (this is Vorovoro’s Leviathan)!

Being on a Tikina or becoming an elder will require different levels of responsibility (ie Island, chiefs, dream foundation require lots of responsibility) but the main thing is that people get involved for short periods of time because they want to move the project forward. Lets go to it!
