Proposal: Change of social media platform policies
[DRAFT of a votable point for a future ALV]
Goal of the votable point
We want to use existing external social-media platforms to reach people that might be interested to join our space, projects, community or culture that would otherwise not have known of our existence.
Currently, there are various social-media channels created with the "Techinc" name/branding. We would to re-enable these accounts to publish Techinc events and other information to these platforms. We should consider creating a "Techinc" presence on other platforms as they becomes relevant.
This will be done without making any of these platforms a source of any unique-content that cannot be found on the Techinc infrastructure. We will use the platforms to repost content that is already available on techinc.nl, linking back to Techinc's infrastructure when appropriate. Conversations on these social media platforms should be referring to our Wiki, mailing-lists or IRC when appropriate. It will be explicitly frowned upon to create unique content on these external platforms.
We do not want to promote or encourage the use of these social-media platforms by either our members or others in any way.
Context of this votable point
In the summer of 2013 the ALV decided to make Social-media "officially unofficial", meaning that you can refer to or promote Techinc and/or it's events but you should only do so in as a member, not as the "Techinc" organization/community/entity (see: https://wiki.techinc.nl/index.php/ALV_2013_06_29/Minutes)
This votable point aims to amend that decision. Allowing a set of members to be engage on various platforms as "Techinc".
Implementation of the votable point
- We create a "Propaganda Committee" (PropComm) that maintains access to those accounts.
- PropComm will consist of 3 members, elected by a ALV vote.
- The PropComm member set can have overlap with board members, but board members cannot have a majority vote in PropComm.
- The ALV will request members who currently control those accounts to transfer/share control with the PropComm.
- PropComm will maintain a Techinc wiki page with an overview of integrations with various platforms.
- PropComm members are invited to automate the interactions with external social-media platforms.
- PropComm will not encourage Techinc members to use these platforms in active ways.
The social media platforms to be considered are:
- Meetup
- Mastodon
- Radar.squat.net
