The document outlines a webinar focused on network governance and collaborative practices, encouraging participants to engage in breakout groups addressing various topics such as coordination, decision-making, and measurement. It emphasizes the importance of inclusive governance structures and innovative practices while collecting participant insights for further discussion. The session aims to enhance collective leadership capabilities within networks through shared learning and adaptive strategies.

1. In the chat now, please respond:
1. Your name and the network(s) you are a part of
2. We are forming breakout groups on the following topics: please list in chat
what group you want to be in (if you didn’t take survey)
1. Coordination, Facilitation, and Communication: how do network members link and work with each other? What
are effective practices for sharing information and finding potential collaborators?
2. Decision-making: Who decides what the network will do, and how do they decide? For example, network
participants don’t feel they have a say in network decisions, takes too long to make decisions, a few people or
organizations dominate the decision-making processes, etc.
3. Measurement: how do networks monitor their condition or performance and learn together?
4. Operations: Problems getting action going, hard to get network participants to volunteer for committees or
activities, people not doing what they say they will do
5. Purpose: What is the network’s reason for being? When lack of shared focus or clear goals seems to be an
issue?
6. Structure: Not sure the network has the right governance structure, want to talk and hear about different kinds
of governance structures
7. Multi-sector policy-making network governance

8. Let’s create Network Governance based on our values...
Proactively dismantling hierarchical and racist power dynamics through peerness
and distributed, decentralized power
▸ Open and transparent
▸ Inclusive and peer-based
▸ Relational
▸ Participatory
▸ Based on interests
▸ Experimental
▸ Innovative
▸ Individual and group initiative
▸ Adaptive and continually improving
▸ Transformational, based on radical learning
▸ Fun
8Governance
Based on our
VALUES
requires us to
interact in
new ways

9. Three exciting shifts:
1. Technology (zoom, google docs,
loomio)
2. Enough different network
models of governance that we
can learn from
3. New participatory processes for
operations and decision-making
9

10. Circles
As a network operations or structure need
emerges, a self-organizing group forms to
address that need getting advice or consent
from all impacted
10

11. Long-term goal: in next six
months, develop some sessions
and materials around all the
different aspects of governance,
structure and decision-making
Today: start building a network
of people interested in learning,
supporting others, co-inventing

16. Report outs
1. What was just one of juiciest insights you got from your session?
Language, broaden active members, questions about network models and
structures, funders not understand role of networks
Coordination: challenges around diverse partners to connect, self-led and action
opportunities, going to be different levels of engagement: message that they can
determine time investing
Decision-making: challenge of figuring out when decision full group or when
smaller group make decision or one person; how to enable all to be in the know
Structure: too much can reduce engagement; models; how much can you devote,
what is your role? What are current networks doing
2. What is one thing your group seemed interested in learning more about?
