What is the aim of the organisation? My view is this:
"A global co-operative which provides formal qualification to craftsmen" First, outline the proposed role of the organisation. Give the organisation guidelines, they can always be moved, but it will give people something to work to in the meantime. Second, advertise for membership. An organisation such as this is nothing without a strong and high volume of members. Third, create the charter. Once you have the people, you can start thrashing about what it is you need to create. Anyone should be allowed to be a member regardless of level of expertise or trade - membership should not automatically give the member "craftsman" status. With regard to people attaining a "Craftsman" certificate, a voting system could be used (one vote per member) for fairness. Applicants should show detailed examples of their work, with explanations of technique and any past experience they have. These certificates should last for one year only. The general public should be able to check the sttus of a "Certified Craftsman" by logging into the Co-operatives website where a list of qualified craftsman will be available. Membership should be on a co-operative basis, this promotes ethics and fairness. Membership should also be fee based, but could include advertising and space on the organisations website. Basic fee for joining (without advertising or space) should be £1 or $1 equivalent. Anyways, that's about all I can think of off the top of my head, now back to sorting out the railways Best wishes Richard (Uncertified Craftsman of the Global Craftsmans Co-operative) -- www.kasstzam.com & www.kasstzam.com/photo -- |
