Tena koutou,

Thank you to Min and Frances for their preliminary work.  I was new to the group when the rules were discussed and did not feel confident enough to participate.

Ka pai  Rainer...I agree with you.  We need to do more work together on Body Corp. rules.   Sharing thoughts and ideas on this will deepen our understanding of each other which can only be helpful for the future.

Ka pai  Anne... I agree with you about a more on-the-ground, organic approach to shared meals as we begin to live together.   I also agree with you about clear expectations being needed about participation in preparation of meals and working bees.  Mahi on the Body Corp Rules is the best way to achieve this.

Some of us are totally and immediately confident in big groups, others need to establish relationships of trust and warmth before we can feel confident. 

I suggest we continue with our fortnightly meetings and have an alternate week, less formal meeting for those wanting to work on the Body Corporate Rules.  

Nga mihi,  Miriam
