=== Purpose ===

''Our final document will start with a paragraph something like this ...''

This document describes the [[MissionStatement|mission]] we've chosen and the [[values]] that we want community members to consider while on the site.  We've condensed our myriad [[Values]] around a small core that we are building into our software and want to project into our community. This focus will help newcomers identify the important bits of [[AboutUs]] culture quickly and keep them close at hand.  These fundamental elements of our culture are supported by examples of practice that can be accessed by following links from this page.  We continue to celebrate and honor the individual contribution as the fundamental building block of our site and our [[MissionStatement|mission]] and [[values]] are all in support of these individual contributions. We've tried to use evocative language that is easily understood by folks who aren't yet familiar with [[AboutUs.org]].  Please feel warmly welcomed to help us improve this articulation of [[WhoWeAre]].

{{StartFoldUpBox|Process For Next Stage|The consensus polling ''<b>process</b>'' (including [[GoThresholds]] and [[DoneTimer]]) we will follow for stage 2 is:

:* ''[[GoThresholds]]'': 90% yes of 40 [[ActiveMembers]]
:* ''[[DoneTimer]]'': 72 hours

:* ''Stage 2 is designed to raise all the relevant aspects of WhoWeAre.  These aspects may include anything participants feel is relevant, including definitions, values and/or brainstorming of any kind.  This is an expansive process seeking breadth, and not a convergence at this point.  The actual brainstorming process is left unspecified, and will evolve as we go.''

Note: Feel free to work on Stage 2 while stage 1 is on-going.  Stage 2 does not officially begin until Stage 1 is completed.
