Hey everyone,
as some of you are aware of, OFN was a winner at the OUISHARE Awards this year (largely thanks to @MyriamBoure’s implication - THANK YOU!) - and our prize is a one-week intensive coaching session in a quiet co-working space in the French countryside (together with the other 4 projects) to help move our project to the next level (focus on governance, strategy and business model). 2 people from our project can participate.
Since this prize is for the whole of OFN, we wanted to open this to everybody, in case anyone wants to come to France to participate. The founding team in AUS have already said they can’t come at that time, but @MyriamBoure and I thought it would be great to include you all as much as possible in this process.
So there are two things:
1) If anyone is able to come to France for this and wants to be more involved in these global questions that concern us all, now’s the time! 
(@eric already said he might be interested - would be great to have you here!!)
2) In any case, we should dedicate a good part of the coming two global hangouts (11th august and 8th september) to this and possibly plan a special hangout before and/or during the actual deceleration week early october, in order to make sure that those two who will end up going, represent the ideas of us all. And then after that week of coaching, in any case the result will be presented to all and we’ll continue the discussion around that and see if we can start building something more concrete together.
@MyriamBoure has already had some great reflections on global governance of OFN (based amongst others on the principles of holocracy) and we continued those with Sylvain and myself last weekend and we’re now trying to put those ideas into a more presentable form to share with you all in the coming weeks.
How does all this sound to everybody?
