Gov model TLDR

perlinks direct to specific sections of the full governance model text or to the Guerrilla Media Collective Wiki.

The Open Coop performs socially-oriented pro-bono and paid work.
Pro-bono work creates relationships and social capital which (can) lead to paid work.
Both forms of work are tallied into credits.
Net earned income is distributed to fulfil members' shares, allocated as: Paid (75%) and Pro-bono (25%).
Client prices are on a sliding scale but members’ credits accrued are stable.
Higher (client) prices lead to surpluses, used to accelerate pro-bono credit payment.
There are three levels of participation: Casual/unpaid (commons-based peer production); Dating/partly paid (Commons/coop onboarding process); and Committed/paid (Commons and Coop full membership).
Casual members have no responsibilities and Committed members review their work for inclusion, or not
Dating members have ongoing responsibilities (pro-bono and care work) during a nine month trial period before mutual decisions are made about becoming Committed. They are peer mentored by the collective and continually evaluated.
Committed members have ongoing responsibilities (pro-bono and care work), evaluated quarterly. Members unable to maintain these are downgraded from the Coop.
Care and reproductive work is valued as highly as productive work. "Care" means caring for the health of the collective and also caring for its individual members.
Care work is [Commons-Oriented_Open_Cooperative_Governance_Model_V_2.0#Carework_Value valued in time and entrusted selectively] by committed members.
Decision making is made by consent. Committed members' votes are binding.
Reproductive care work and productive pro-bono and paid work affect each member's standing in the coop, as seen in their total credits over time.
