SUBJECT: Considerations for Concerts of Alliance Between Social Change Agents
DATE: April/2020
CATEGORY: 3C22 Concerting Protocol Consideration

Among the valid interests in alliance building are:

1.     Serving the interest of inclusion, which is involving as of much of the community as possible; and

2.    Achieving the specific intentions being organized and coordinated, which concentrates on involving those aligned with the specified intentions.

Of course, many will prefer to achieve the greatest balance of each, which may be more achievable through frameworks of synergistic concerts of calling and purpose than through compromising on mutual objectives.

Concerting is when

Questionnaire (for assessing the alignments between their social change interests and those of the goup)

1.     Are you joining as [direct] members of XRNOLA, as allies in an alliance, or another form of intended involvement.

2.    Assess if their understandings of XRNOLA’s purposes align with the groups’, and how to reach mutual understanding if they do not.

3.    Ask if they are choosing o become involved in the established committees or in some other way.

4.   Assess if there are parts of the goups' (NOLA, global, or otherr) agenda they aren’t willing to contribute to and how to proceed if this is the case?

Survey (for establishing the formal agreement that will serve as evaluative criteria for mutal involvement –agreement on mutual involvement that, if breeched, serve as the initial review in continuing or discontinuing mutual involvement)

1.     What about involvement in the goup draws your interest?

2.    Are you committed to the entirety ofthe goups’ agenda? if not, which?

3.    Are the protocols of involvement with the goup as currently formulated and stated/declared [sufficient] for you to commit to them. (If not, it’s advised to have some parameters of what constitutes acceptable abstention or dissent from the adopted platform and which preclude cohesive mutual involvement or signal potential conflict).

a. Ex: A3’s involvement is not likely to include direct action against ecology offenders except in efforts that include clear strategies of reclaiming decisive authority (rather than only influence) in regulating the targeted offenses, but rather in systemic reconfigurations of regulatory systems and offices that effect and enable such reclamation.  XRNOLA should critically assess if such declarations are compatible with its designs for participatory involvement and alliance, or if they pose potentially significant conflicts of interest/intention.

o I’ve yet to study enough material on regenerative contexts of intersecting causes to know if this point is considered, but I suspect a dynamic of regenerative culture is proactively, and formally, establishing the aligning linkages of intention and envisioned outcome between allies rather than assuming through surface impressions that they exist.

4.; If not, what about them are you hesitant toward or abstaining from?

5.    In which components of the goup would you most like to be involved?

6.    What contributions would you bring to involvement with the goup?

7.    What needs would you have in reliable involvement?
