Thanks Ross, really helpful. Might be useful for our own board!

Here's another suggestion which has come via Katherine Hudson who used to be a member of our Third Sector Foresight team. Katherine was looking back at an event the team had run as part of their investigations into the future of membership:
"Our final speaker was Charles Armstrong, the brains behind the fantastic one click orgs project. Charles identified that the problem with an organisation of any size and age is that the ‘informal mechanics’ that operate in small groups as we start them up [ie we can discuss things down the pub] quickly break down across larger, more dispersed groups. Charles’ solution is the one click orgs platform, which uses software to automate – and reduce the time and financial costs of – important legal and democratic functions within a membership organisation, such as voting on a suggestion or changing its name."
Hi Fiona,
I haven't tried this but thought it might be worth a look:
