== Reporting ==

=== Introduction ===

We followed the [[Internal Democracy/Guidelines|meeting guidelines]] provided by the [[Internal Democracy]] workgroup.

After a short introductory plenary session, we decided to split into three subgroups. Then, after another plenary session, we decided to split again in two subgroups. Here is the reporting of what has been discussed in those subgroups.

=== Open Organisation Maturity Model ===

We reviewed the document "[https://github.com/open-organization-ambassadors/open-org-definition/blob/master/open_org_maturity_model.md Open Organization Maturity Model]". We created a new project, for which you can find a roadmap [https://pad.pirateparty.be/p/The_Open_Organization_Maturity_Model_Project on this pad]. In the case there is no French translation yet available (need to be checked), we also plan to translate it. You'll find the pad for this translation [https://pad.pirateparty.be/p/The_Open_Organization_Maturity_Model here]

This document could be used as a tool for a group to evaluate its ways of working in terms of openness, transparency, etc. We thought about creating a questionnaire/form based on this document. We don't have a time constraint, or at least we should have something ready for the elections.

We will work with loomio and the wiki. '''TODO:''' Create the loomio thread and wiki page

===Digging / Talking about our «core values»===

Points that were discussed:
* Importance of meeting, in real life, and dialogue
* Freedom of thought (but we cannot think alone! supposes dialogue - but it is different from freedom of speech), trust, collaboration, global interest
** No consensus on freedom of speech (should it be total or not? disagreement between the present pirates)
** To be further discussed between pirates --> we need to discuss our values

=== Citizen lists / [[Ministère de la Démocratie|Ministry of democracy]] ===

People involved in the Ministry of Democracy, and also in citizen lists, did some updates on how it is going in order to inform other pirates.

==== Ministry of democracy ====

Ministry of democracy is a workgroup, that is larger than just the pirate party, and means to get more democracy.

3 steps of work horizon :
# Make an inventory of democracy tools in Belgium (focus on Wallonia), not only institutional ones (e.g. referendum) but also private ones (e.g. G1000)
# Make proposals to improve these tools
# Integrate this into a political programme (e.g. the one of the pirate party)

==== [[Mouvement éco-citoyen liégeois|Citizen list in Liège]] ====

Ecolo at the initiative of a wider list, including pirates. But the ways of working are not enough transparent (information retention for instance ; not clear for which reasons) yet and it takes a lot of energy to improve them. Unbalance between Ecolo and the others. The internal organisation is being defined. It seems that some mistakes are similar to what the pirate party made before...

Also mentioned situation of citizen list in OLLN : contacted by someone to join their list... wondering what to do.

--> pirates should share their experience

=== [[Pirate Lab]] organization ===

There is a demand from some pirates to have thematic labs (cf. a survey of Renaud on facebook, asking why people are not joining labs). We will experiment it for [[Pirate Lab/Meeting/30 09 2017|next lab (30/09 Mechelen)]].

An informal poll will be opened on Facebook to gather ideas of themes (to do : Renaud), a Loomio thread will be opened about Labs (to do : Valerie), and decision of the theme will be done on Loomio. We also decided to choose a "safe" theme that we know can give birth to something practical => privacy is selected as a "default" theme.

We propose to have a lunch before the lab. This would be optional : it's for those who want to eat together, or for those who want to watch people eat together, also...

=== Values ===

No conclusions. It was an informal moment (discussing the core values), without closing moment.

=== Conclusion ===

[[Pirate Lab/Meeting/30 09 2017|Next lab will be in Mechelen, on 30th September, 2pm]]. Those who want to come earlier for a lunch are welcome ;)
