June Gathering 2022/Co-ops no more Clearing membership register

Context

It appears that over 10 co-ops have not been responding to any communication this year. What do we do with co-ops that have not engaged in any way for a long time? What if their domain has been down for a while now or when we know they folded as a business?

• Spreadsheet with contacts on Nextcloud has more details.

Discussion

• What to do about this?
• Reversing the process of becoming a member via Loomio is suggested.
  • Sounds appropriate. Can cluster the co-ops into one proposal.
• Could monthly General Circle call check whether the co-ops is still around?
  • Would it become a regular agenda item?
• Would we make a page with the members that left?
  • We have a dedicated column 'Left CoTech' on members page
• What are the exact conditions?
  • Something to workshop at the proposal session. Roughly: not responding, domain down or informed us that they folded. 2 attempts. Also if they stop paying to the fund that could be an alarm signal...
• Action: Let's workshop this at the decision making session.
