For what it's worth, we have a Teams agreement that specifically
details what areas teams have responsibility over and whether their
authority in various areas is Proposal Authority (responsible for an
area, but need community approval) or Full Authority (team has
authority to act). I think it works real well for us. We delegate
lots of authority to our teams.
One of the aspects I particularly like about it is that anyone can serve on any team for any particular issue. So if the Stewardship team is working on landscaping around the CH and that's an issue of particular interest to me, but I don't normally serve on the Stewardship team, I'm welcome to participate on the team to design the landscaping around the CH (and hopefully do some planting as well :-).
Here's the link to our Teams agreement in case it may be of use: http://www.heartwoodcohousing.com/AGREEMENTS/TEAMS.html Cheers, Mac -- Mac Thomson Heartwood Cohousing Southwest Colorado http://www.heartwoodcohousing.com "Peace is like silence; it is always there.

create peace, but how to live in a way that eliminates the noise." ********************************************************** On Sep 29, 2007, at 4:16 AM, cohousing-l-request [at] cohousing.org wrote:
At Liberty Village we have something called a "Mandate" that a team gets from the larger community which is designed to empower them to get the job done. It's typically a fairly structured one-page document that tries to set limits and define a purpose. I can't say it's a cure-all, but it helps.
