Ringing Cedars – Australia readers group
meeting via Skype was held
Sunday 29 July 2018 8am EST
Group website set up by Kemble: http://ringingcedars.org.au
Has mail list, news translated from Russian.
Encourage all group members to join there so we have a separate contact list from Facebook.
Suggested platforms for larger group calls
zoom.us – Someone needs a paid subscription to host the calls. We could do this if membership to the party had a small membership fee.
anymeeting.com – worked out more expensive than zoom
Topics
Veche (pronounced vi-eh-cheh)
Start work on the constitution so we have a structure and an identity. Then people know what they are joining.
Do our research on what is required for a political party in Australia so we are drafting the constitution to fit into this from the beginning and won’t need as many amendments later.
Also means what we represent is clear and consistent in every interaction with the public = higher integrity which builds trust.
Kemble explained Veche has no centre of power. All must agree before something can go ahead. Any who go against the majority are asked how they can be “brought into the fold”. Sometimes they are out of alignment. Sometimes they have a different perspective that no one else had considered and, once considered, changes everyone’s perspective so, all opinions can be beneficial.
Veche may need a small group of delegates who can represent the interests of the group in the larger field (state or federal negotiations). Chairperson is useful to run the meetings, keep them on track and concluding in moving forward with some action or plan. Will also need secretary and treasurer.
Constitution
There will be various points that need to be determined so everyone is clear how processes work.
eg – priorities and objectives, goals to achieve, personnel, how to join, circumstances when a member is removed, accounting reconciliation, how decisions are made, how it functions, how often we meet, who has the power, who carries out the actions on behalf of the group, who represents the group in public etc.
More research for the group to do on what is presently used in Australia and templates we can follow to make our own bespoke version. Then we can start a draft, pass it around the action group for suggestions and get some final advice from Kemble’s father who is a lawyer.

The power of dreaming
Group decided it was a good idea to collectively focus on one image at 7am each morning for a week (use your own time zone) to add energy to the potential.
First week: The Family Party being the most popular growing party in the country, highly influential in creating change for the populace. It’s ideas are spreading throughout the world like a major hit song.
Second week: Looking across broad landscapes seeing legally settled family homesteads everywhere, love radiating from each one.
Third week: Individuals happy and healthy growing their own food. Everyone supports the right of individuals and families to choose to live this way.
Fourth week: People and animals living in harmony and peace. All creatures of the world are helping humans and happy in their clean abundant environment.
Action plan
Svetlana: Look for Russian templates we can base our constitution on
Kemble: first draft of constitution to circulate by email
