Trustroots functions like a do-ocracy. Legally Trustroots Foundation runs Trustroots but actual decisions and actions are taken by those who are working on making things happen.

Another term that is very much related to do-ocracy but got out of fashion is adhocracy. Most of the concepts and ideas around adhocracy apply just as well to Trustroots.

  • Ideally the foundation does as little as possible, just whatever is legally essential to ensure longevity plus basics of volunteer and member happiness.
  • Ideally volunteers do what makes themselves and members happy.
  • Some level of discussions and politics are inevitable to ensure that we know that we don't exclude folks, but we don't really want to spend too much time on this.

Organizations that work in similar ways are Burning Man, Rainbow Gatherings
