We at Oak Creek Commons in Paso Robles, CA have a work credit system whereby each committee that needs tasks done assigns work-credit hours to the tasks. When the tasks are completed to the satisfaction of the sponsoring committee, the worker gets credits on their dues. Anybody who does not perform any tasks has a surcharge on their dues. We have been using this system for 19 months and it has worked well. We have a special group called a Work Incentive Group (WIG) that handles the program.

A good question was raised in the Dynamic Governance workshop at Coho University at the Coho Conference. Is a proposal clearly defined if it doesn't include "teeth". Is it a proposal at all? Or is it meaningless? If your community agreement is that each member is expected to do 4 hours of community work, how do you know when that is not being done? If you don't know when it isn't being done, how do you know when it is? And if you don't know either of those things, why believe that you have an agreement?
