Stewardship Hub

OGM's governance, fiscal, and operational steward-side material. The largest single area of the source wiki by file count after Jerry's Nuggets: 39 files in OGM Stewardship/.

What's here

The Stewardship area divides into three sub-areas:

The OGM Bootstrap-Lionsberg MOU

The structural backbone of OGM's first year. From OGM Stewardship/Documents/OGM Bootstrap MOU/1. OGM Bootstrap-Lionsberg Memorandum of Understanding.md:

"Lionsberg and Open Global Mind Bootstrap (OGM Bootstrap) would like to enter an agreement in which Lionsberg would become a fiscal sponsor of OGM Bootstrap."

Key MOU mechanics:

Notable self-reflection in the MOU itself: "We note that structuring the administrative fee as a percent of deposits and donations may encourage unintended focus on growth of incoming funds, rather than public benefit. In future agreements, we may move to an accounting basis in which administrative fees are based on costs." — a stewarding voice critiquing its own incentive structure.

Appendices

Stewardship Dashboard

OGM Stewardship/Documents/Stewardship Dashboard.md is the de-facto running list of stewardship workstreams. Subjects active during the dashboard's life:

Meetings (within Stewardship)

The Stewardship/Meetings/ folder holds 13 meetings from March–May 2021:

Project Plans

Operational artifacts in OGM Stewardship/Project Plans/:

Things invoked but not in Stewardship/

The MOU and Stewardship dashboard reach across the wiki. Concepts that the Stewardship docs invoke but that live elsewhere (or nowhere):

Patterns

The Stewardship corpus is time-boxed. Most files are dated March–May 2021. The MOU and its appendices are the high-water mark of the area; subsequent years have less Stewardship documentation in the wiki, possibly because (a) governance work moved to other media (Mattermost, Notion), or (b) the bootstrap phase ended and the MOU did its job.

This is one of the few areas where the source wiki gives a clear, narratively-coherent slice of OGM history.
