There probably won't be many times when voting will be
necessary in the Spokes Network, but in order to do so, a group should
officially register and name those members who are authorized to act as
its Spokes People. Although any number of members of a group may attend
the Spokes Network meetings, only one Spokes Person (Spokes) from each
group may vote. It's a good idea, if possible, to rotate the Spokes who
attend so that different members of each group will become familiar with
the Spokes Network, its members, and how it functions. One Spokes may
represent as many as two member organizations at a Network meeting, and
if this is the case, may vote twice. Just as anyone can join the listserve,
individuals who are not affiliated with a group may attend Spokes Network
meetings, and give their input to topics of discussion at that meeting.
However, decision-making power lies with the Spokes.
Groups may register with the Spokes Network by sending
a member of their group with the form below filled out and signed by someone
who normally has authority to sign paperwork for the group. They may also
be mailed to Lucy Kenyon, 195 Walnut Circle, Rohnert Park, CA 94928. The
forms will be turned in to the facilitation working group for safe-keeping.
