[08:53] Jamie (he/him): Miro | Online Whiteboard for Visual Collaboration
[09:07] Juliet: The notes from the break out cafe session at GOAT 2022 are here: Session: Coop Breakout Session / Cafe after hours Coop vision quest - #2 by samuejao
[09:25] Jamie (he/him): re: Connecting to Southern Hemisphere, I’m missing a session today that might be relevant to this, where GOAT was asked to join specifically, but joining part 2 next Mon (5am EST, ah!), dunno if others might be interested
[09:30] Jamie (he/him): maybe this is what Paul’s thinking, but I know “freelancer’s coop” is a category for corralling these kinds of admin tasks
[09:31] calix (they/them): Bus factor - Wikipedia
[09:33] Matt Noyes (he, Ute land): (A friend calls it the “rapture factor” - if that person were raptured, what would become of the project)
[09:38] Open Food Network USA: yes! and Matt Noyes who is here, is an awesome resource/friend of GOAT
[09:38] Genna: coops coming to talk about learnings from the process of starting a coop? things they wish they knew before they started the coop
[09:40] Ankita!: Can we ask everyone that is from a coop to share 1-2 functions that they think are worth sharing in a a minute?
[09:40] Matt Noyes (he, Ute land): happy to share info, ideas, resources when that feels helpful
[09:42] calix (they/them): We Are More Important Than The Work
[09:42] Genna: moving at the speed of trust
[09:42] Jamie (he/him): Follow-up meeting poll:
LettuceMeet - Easy Group Scheduling
[09:43] Michael DeChellis: Co-ops are really good at doing what GOAT already does - get common people together and see what happens - examples in 2 co-ops I’ve been recently exposed to here in Montana.
[09:44] Matt Noyes (he, Ute land): Definitely recommend this resource: How to Create a Solidarity Enterprise: Unit I | Grassroots Economic Organizing
[09:45] Matt Noyes (he, Ute land): zebras unite uses a hybrid: NPO + co-op structure for this reason
[09:46] Jamie (he/him): I recently learned in NY State worker coops CANNOT be a non-profit, but that is the only restriction here as I understand
[09:47] Genna: Cooperatives Program page from the Sustainable Economies Law Center. Building just and resilient economies through local ownership.
[09:48] Miguel Ochoa (UC Berkeley): non-profit requires more annual transparency (reporting, auditing), but donations are tax-deductible and qualify for foundation funding.
[09:48] Matt Noyes (he, Ute land): Better not to start from funding concerns, I think
[09:50] Ankita!: Solicit post-short term functions?
[09:51] Paul W: also just fun to learn about more coops, if they are willing to share, willing to learn 
[09:52] Juliet: 2023.03.15 - Community Call - Third Wednesday of Each Month @ 9am Pacific Time -
