Governance is just a fancy word encompassing all the things we do to organize ourselves, make plans and decisions together, get things done, and resolve conflicts. It also includes the rules and norms that help us establish a common ground and set some basic limits in the community.

<aside> 💡 Why is it needed?

• Brings consistency in how the community works and what everyone of us can expect from each other.
• Helps us coexist and accomplish our objectives while being part of the community.
• Gives us a common mechanism to solve conflicts and problems if they arise. </aside>

Rules of the community

We try to have as few rules as possible. These come out of our experience living together with diverse groups of people, and they have helped us to avoid conflicts and make everything run smoothly in the community.

Operations of the house

Quiet times and bringing friends

Visiting other floors

Conflict resolution

Opposition to the values and principles and/or Infringement of the rules

Roles and responsibilities

Roles and responsibilities are also an important element of the organization of the community.

<aside> 🙍 The role of member of the community includes 3 main basic responsibilities:

• To live according to the principles of the community to the best of his/her ability while being part of it, and to encourage others to do so.
• To follow the rules of the community and to help ensuring that everyone in the community follows them. </aside>
