reputation in small, face-to-face groups is easy
Not in my experience over the last decade and a half - 'reputation',
where for instance something like civic accountability is at issue, is a
demanding form of work, or production.
What we have found (this work is also a form of cooperative inquiry) is
that a key element in the assessing of reputation is the establishment
of trust. Trust tends to based on disclosure - you want high levels of
trust - then create a safe space where high levels of disclosure are
encouraged/tolerated - and as I have mentioned in the earlier message
where the distribution of power is also under close scrutiny by everyone
involved.
Scaling remains a question for us in IPN but this network of 150 or so
people has run on completely non-hierarchical lines for 17 years, a
treasurer, yes, but no chair, no offices. In that time there have been
around 50 national gatherings of 20-30 self-selecting people who,
without even facilitation, make decisions about resources, policy and
promotion.
Collaboration in networks of peers seems necessarily to grow from the
original kernels of creative commitment and trust, plus endless patience
with negotiation, ie lots of 'existential chit chat'.

when we also want to collaborate in large, global networks of peers,
then we need something more feasible than the existential chit chat, IMHO

Hi Robin,
I don't know how you would apply it to complementary
currencies but various versions of the arrangements you
outline have been in place for 17 years in The Independent
Practitioner Network [IPN] <http://i-p-n.org/> that I belong
to in the UK. Smaller groups than you mention, 5-8, meet every
six weeks or so. Their task is get to know each other well
enough to be able to 'stand by' their work with clients (a
reputation 'metric'?). For me the strong version of this
derives from 'self and peer assessment'
<http://www.human-inquiry.com/asre.htm> based on a list of
mutually agreed criteria, which is what you seem to be suggesting.
I have written about this extensively, see my forthcoming book
Therapy Futures
<http://www.pccs-books.co.uk/products/therapy-futures/#> and
previously Regulating the psychological therapies.
<http://www.pccs-books.co.uk/products/regulating-the-psychological-therapies-from-taxonomy-to-taxidermy/#.UF63CVEpXnj>
In my experience your assumption...
... that self-determination, that is, autonomy (intrinsic
motivation), relatedness and competence is vital for social
justice where for individuals to be self-determining, everyone
else must be self-determining.
...is very sound.
A critical other dimension is that the distribution of power
is constantly under scrutiny, ie that dominance and
subordination are eliminated. This doesn't mean that
hierarchies of experience and skill are eliminated but that
decision making is consensual. A tough task this since
domination often seems to me to be in the grain of the times.
I hope this helps

Hi All
I am researching (via a PhD with the University of Tasmania)
the idea of a reputation metric as a currency in a
complementary currency project to test whether it would
increase trust and other prosocial behaviours in local
communities but most importantly to scale up trust between
people that don’t know each other. What ideas do people have
about how you would structure a reputation metric in
practice? My vague ideas at the moment are that you could
have resilience circles, small groups of 20 to 30 people who
would meet once a month. They would act as support for each
other, but also the group would allocate a score for
individuals over the previous month based on set criteria for
how each have exchanged with other people whether in the
group or with others in different groups against the criteria
which would attempt to vaguely measure autonomy, competence
and relatedness. My research is based on the assumption that
self-determination, that is, autonomy (intrinsic motivation),
relatedness and competence is vital for social justice where
for individuals to be self-determining, everyone else must be
self-determining.
Any advice appreciated, eg are there are other groups that I
could this to that might be relevant? Do I need to supply
more information?
Thanks & regards
Robin
