Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: enforcement

[Muriel Kranowski (murielk]

We do have policies and agreements, but the only thing we enforce is
payment of HOA dues. Everything else is completely voluntary.

About a year ago we adopted what we call a Perceived Broken Agreement
policy - if you think someone is breaking one of our agreements/policies,
you go through a process that starts with making sure they really are
breaking an agreement, then approaching them, then if necessary taking it
to a plenary meeting to ask the community to do something. I wonder what we
will do if something should be brought to the plenary under this policy.

Given that we have never ding-ed anyone about inadequate participation in
governance or workshare, I assume those would not be the subject of such an
action.
