Because a cohousing community depends on its members to do the work of making the community — physically and socially — happen, Mosaic Commons expects our members to meet the following ongoing participation requirements:

• Attend meetings regularly. If you will be unable to attend more than one meeting in a row, please notify the Coordinating team.
  
• Participate on at least one team and perform action items necessary for the project to proceed. Each adult is expected to take and complete a minimum of one action item or ongoing task (including roles such as secretary, treasurer, action item manager, etc.) each month. All adults should participate whenever possible, but if at some point you are unable to meet your participation requirements, other members of your household may step in to assist.
  
• Work constructively with the Mosaic Commons community.
  
• Be familiar with and support our decisions, policies, agreements, and legal documents. If you are unable to attend a meeting, you are responsible for reviewing the minutes and bringing up any concerns with decisions made in your absence promptly.
  
• Meet the financial requirements applicable to your household.
  

If you are unable to meet these requirements, you have the option of "stepping back" for a time. Stepping back from the group means that you are unable to attend meetings or events regularly, but will keep up on our progress and plan to rejoin at a later time.

If you have concerns with the participation level of your or another household, please bring them up to the Trustees. Individual circumstances will always be considered in cases where concerns have been raised. The Trustees may choose to reduce requirements for some households depending on their circumstances.
