Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Assigning jobs / work

[Lynn Nadeau (welcome]

At RoseWind, we do not assign jobs. Ever. It's all volunteer, by 
invitation, or by self nomination. About as close as we get to assigning 
is to post a chart with common house cleaning tasks listed, and lines 
where people can sign up. Ditto for cooking and cleanup for common meals. 
We could use a task force for x: are there people who'd be willing to do 
that? 

If something doesn't inspire anyone to sign up, we need to look at 
whether it is really something we should hire out (really rare), re-frame 
into another request, or subdivide, or not do, if nobody thinks it's 
important enough to volunteer for. 

It's worked for 15 years.
