DIsCO Governance Model Version Changes

This entries tracks all changes between the following two versions of the DisCO Governance Model:

• Distributed Cooperative Organization (DisCO) Governance Model V 3.0 (AKA the "Guerrilla Media Collective Governance Model". Latest revision is early 2019.
• DisCO Mothership Governance Model (3.5, and the base governance model for DISCO.NP. Late winter 2021)

Welcome to the DisCO MOTHERSHIP Governance Model

• This is a new section, rewritten to distinguish from GMC/3.o version of the model and to welcome people who may not be familiar with the model and/or GMC.
• Explains the differences between version 3.0 (for coops) and version 3.5 (for DisCO Non Profits), as well as quick pointers to the DisCO LABS and DisCO Applications Program.
• Some sections would benefit from MS/BALL Wiki entries that haven't been created yet, or placeholders, such as Guerrilla Media Collective's main website. I am listing these as "3.5 Dependencies" on the Card for ongoing inclusion as these resources are created in the near future.
• Plz check the footnotes.
• Please edit for typos and clarity directly on the wiki. Thanks!
