The primary self-organization constitution document is here.
Check out the Citizen Code Example Constitution to get an idea of what this can evolve into over the course of a 2 years.
Note: This version of the constitution is new and being vetted by pioneering organizations. Your feedback as a pioneer, practitioner, or engaged observer is very welcome.
Your group of 2-20 people needs a clear way to fulfill its purpose, make decisions, get things done, and respond to change.
If this is what you are looking for, this constitution is for you.
The focus of this constitution is for small groups of 2-20. There are several design patterns for scaling. Rather than biasing in one direction or another at the outset, the constitution gives space for the organization to evolve.
Two potential scaling patterns are: nested holonic circle structures as employed by Sociocracy & Holacracy; and networked structures such as Morning Star's Colleague Letter of Understanding (CLOU).
If you would like to contribute scaling "proposal pattern", your contributions would be welcome. For example you could contribute a sociocracy style double linked circle "proposal pattern".

We were greatly inspired by Holacracy, Sociocracy, Morning Star self-management, and the tradition of self-organization stretching back to at least Norbert Wiener's work on Cybernetics.
