Part II: Organization

(Kein text)

  • In the RCL Network we make decisions by unanimous consensus of all current RCL residents (meaning anyone currently present) in face-to-face circles and never on the internet, although we use our RCL Common Website as a tool to make proposals and to collect the face-to-face consensuses. There are four types of consensus:

    • Founding Consensus: Made by the RCL circle accepting a new RCL or Scouting Mission, a Founding Consensus is a condition for the donation of an RCL or the fundamental vision of a Scouting Mission and is changeable only in special unforeseeable circumstances through a Global Consensus.

    • Community Consensus: A communal decision on a matter relating only to that RCL Community made by all current residents in the RCL.

    • Organization Consensus: A communal decision on a matter relating only to an RCL Organization, made by all current residents of all RCLs held in Trusteeship / Ownership by that RCL Organization. An RCL will automatically “stand aside” to allow the agreement of others to proceed if it fails to respond to a proposed Organization Consensus within three weeks.

    • Global Consensus: A communal decision on a matter relating to the whole RCL Network, such as changes to the DCI, made by all current residents of all RCLs everywhere through a collection of Community Consensuses. A Global Consensus can be proposed by any face-to-face RCL Vision Council which can be held anywhere, anytime by anyone. A proposal will become a Global Consensus Request once it has reached Community Consensus in any RCL and has been published on our RCL Common Website by that RCL’s Internet Focalizer. All RCLs are themselves responsible for obtaining information about Global Consensus Requests. All RCLs have two moon cycles to respond to a Global Consensus Request but will be granted an extension of an additional moon cycle if requested. All RCLs automatically “stand aside” if they fail to respond within this time limit. The Community Consensuses will be collected on our RCL Common Website. Global Consensus is reached after two moon cycles if all RCLs are in agreement.

  • An RCL is a piece of land hosting a permanent community aiming for sustainable living, fulfilling or soon to fulfil our legal ideals for land ownership as closely as possible. A new RCL is accepted into the RCL Network through Community Consensus in a circle with at least ten people or the majority of the community residents present in a current RCL, according to the guidelines set out in “Appendix A – Accepting A New RCL”.
  • All land-use projects or projects involving the structural change of the RCL require Community Consensus. The ownership of all structures and resources on RCLs are communal but the usage may be private depending on community agreements.
  • RCL Organizations may have to be created to fulfil our ideals concerning land ownership. An RCL Organization is set up according to the guidelines in “Appendix B – Land Ownership” and is accepted into the RCL Network through Community Consensus in a circle with at least ten people or the majority of the community residents present in any other RCL than the one about to be owned by the RCL Organization in question.
  • Each RCL can through Community Consensus elect an Observer who will have access to all information, activity and accounts in all RCL Communities and RCL Organizations.
  • No one receives a salary for their work for RCL Communities or RCL Organizations. We do not borrow money. Land, structures or other resources held in common Trusteeship / Ownership cannot be used as security for loans.
  • A Scouting Mission is a group searching for a suitable land to receive as a donation or to purchase. A Scouting Mission must be accepted through Community Consensus in a circle with at least ten people or the majority of the community residents present in a current RCL. Direct donations to the Scouting Mission should be channelled through an RCL Organization and funds should only be released once an Observer has authorized the sale price.
  • The world rainbow gathering can host Global RCL Vision Councils but any proposal must go through a Community Consensus in an RCL to become a Global Consensus Request. An announced RCL Vision Council with at least ten people present at a world rainbow gathering has the power to accept new RCLs and new Scouting Missions.
  • Within the framework of our Declarations of Common Intention and national and local laws, every RCL Community enjoys both freedom and responsibility. Individuals enter RCLs at their own risk and they are responsible for their own unlawful acts.
  • We use the internet freely and openly but every person has the right not to be on the internet through any kind of media. Our RCL Common Website is a communal project which facilitates communication, the transparency of RCL Organizations, the receiving of donations and the making of Organization and Global Consensuses.
