Nathaniel White agreed to facilitate and give input on kinds of organization relevant to us, particularly the difference between order and control - chaordic organisational design, governance by purpose and principles, sociocracy and aspects of Gaian democracy -- these all rely on agreements, shared values, and ways of cooperating that produce order but not control.
