Coordinators
Since Solaris has no hierarchy, the role of the coordinator is not a leadership role, but a volunteer role, the purpose of which is the proper functioning of the district organisation.
- First and foremost, the coordinator administers the group and/or the Telegram channels and chat.
- He/She creates an email address for the group if none exists.
- He/She works in a team with the other group/cell coordinators.
- He/She can organise meetings in person or by zoom, although all members are encouraged to do this.
- He/She creates and maintains links with neighbouring cells.
- He/She studies and familiarises himself/herself with the workings of SOLARIS and sees to it that the Solaris Spirit is maintained. He/She therefore can help inform newcomers.
- SOLARIS has no hierarchy or leaders, it is a new type of collective governance. One does not seek authorisation from a coordinator to initiate actions, but rather one has confidence in his/her own power, talents and inspiration to realise these actions while informing the group because SOLARIS is a network of humans based on respect and good faith.
- Often a person will offer his/her services as coordinator to launch a cell, then others will join him/her. The team will grow and a natural rotation of roles will implement itself.
- There are 3 coordinators such that one is always available and reachable.
- The members of a cell may sovereignly decide to recreate a new cell if they deem this appropriate.
- Once a critical number of cells is established, it will be important to implement an analogue radio network (Citizen Band radios, walkie talkie ...)
A reiteration and further description of these concepts about Coordinators can be read in the very important How to Activate a Cell tutorial. You may want to read this tutorial section now.
