Residents’ Assembly decision making policy

In February this year, the Residents’ Assembly Service (RAS) announced its wish to pause all Residents’ Assembly Decision-making (RAD) processes until a review is made of the existing decision-making policy and the RAS mandate. A sub-group composed of members of the Auroville Council and Working Committee have started to review the present RAD process in order to restart all pending RAD processes soon, while also initiating an overall study of how to find better ways of arriving at community decisions. To harvest feedback and ideas on an entirely new RAD process and on the reformulation of the RAS mandate, an open invitation to bring ideas and feedback was issued, and about 20 emails with varying and diverse inputs have so far been received
