Just launched a new course "Introduction to Community Organisation Governance" and it's FREE for the next 48 hours. #governance #CommunityDevelopment https://courses.ricraftis.au/courses/governance

This afternoon at Water Operations for Uncertain Futures 2023 #AFPLwouf23, we've taken on the role of various stakeholders and mapped out how we might carry out the #water concept pitches from initiation to adaptation. The takeaways? The considerations involved in shaping #water #futures are #complex and involve many interactions between #society, #environment, #technology, #industry, and #governance. Some things are easy to #adapt and #change – but on the whole, creating #robust and #equitable #systems in this space takes time, conversations, many knowledges, hard choices, and careful planning. And whether we know it or not, we all depend on the care people in this space take in creating robust water futures for us all.

#AFPLwouf23 is the third workshop in the Algorithmic Futures Policy Lab series, which has been made possible with the support of the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. ANU Institute for Water Futures and #OneBasinCRC have taken the lead in planning and supporting this workshop. Thanks, also, to the Fenner School of Environment and Society, ANU School of Cybernetics, ANU Centre for European Studies, CNRS LAMSADE, and DIMACS Rutgers University.

The village of #ColumbusNM is over budget and broke, the state of #NewMexico is urging emergency measures and a plan to make it through the fiscal year, and special meetings are scheduled next week.

The small municipality (pop. 1,500 or so) has been plagued with #Governance problems for a long time.

The recently released financial #audit for 2021-22 presents a sobering portrait of town hall.

Visiting the USA to examine #AirPollution monitoring #tools and #governance strategies focusing on the health and environmental benefits of improved #AirQuality and reduced greenhouse gases, especially in the transportation and energy sectors.

Democracy in America is not exactly dead because I think it was never even born. Representatives are elected by gerrymandering and corrupt campaign financing and then they represent their donors, lobbyists, and corporations instead of their constituents.

It should be plain to see that this isn't a democracy or even a republic. This shit needs to be redesigned. I know we can do better. It's the year 2023 ffs.

The dumpster fire we are witnessing now has been smoldering for years, if not decades.
It is what happens when people elect #representatives who actively #hate the idea of #governance
It is what happens when people rack up victories with Fox News rants and not legislation.
It is what happens when a quest for power means you’re willing to yield and appease everyone and everything that can help you secure it.

Early in the pandemic, i got started on audiobooks proper, and randomly picked this one: "Smell Detectives: An Olfactory History of Nineteenth-Century Urban America" by Melanie A. Kiechle, which at that time, only just came out the year before.

I don't see it figure much in recommendations but I found it to be an illuminating episode in the history of public health. Essentially, as germ theory proved itself over 'miasma theory', the presence of the public as an informed stakeholder began to diminish, because 'bad smells' can be dismissed as a legitimate cause of complaint (since it's not necessarily 'diseased'). You can draw a straight line from that shift to how industrial pollution crept into housing areas as well as 'civilian' individuals losing their civic influence in local government.

Anyway, I did actually review this (i should review more #books): https://moreofacomment.my/wp/2021/07/07/book-smell-detectives/

Good morning, and welcome back from the holiday to observing US folks! hcommons.social is up and running smooth as silk, I’m happy to report. Our apologies once again for the bumps (and losses) we experienced in the transition to our new server environment. Now that we’re settled in, I’m turning my attention to some questions of community #governance. I’m looking into Loomio as a suggestion and decision-making platform, but I’d love to hear if there are more suggestions out there!

Final week of corporate governance completed. To date the focus has been on governance of listed companies. In the final module we turn to non listed companies and not-for-profits. Now to focus on assessment. #governance #mba #nonprofit https://mymba.com.au/corporate-governance/corporate-governance-week-7-the-governance-of-non-listed-corporate-entities/
