[Imc-lwg-work] scheme + nested groups

[toni --]

* term: nested groups

i think that we should change term 'nested' to 'working'
in the constitution.

why? 
most important: because it is not accurate.
nested reminds of one being within another. 
i don't see it that way.

i see it as interlinked state. 
where these links are such that part of 
working groups overlap, parts not. 
i can definitely not see them as nested.

at the time when we wrote it i wasn't
clear about the alternative, but simpler, better.
i propose 'working' instead and not to use
embeddness as well. this would mean significant
rewrite of holarchy the way people who formed the theory
explained it, but that's fine with me.
i'm acctualy proposing a hack of holarchy instead
the acctual holarchy as a model that suits better
to what we are trying to explain.

when i read Arhur Koestler, i think that i can see
what he means by embeddness, and nested but i don't think
that words he choose to describe it are good in this case.

as well, someone's reaction to this term 'nested'
was exactly how i felt: something wrong about it.

anyway, enough on that ...

* DRAFT

here'she draft i composed ...
hack it as you wish an posted it here ...
change details in header
(modified date + last modified by) 

i thought that headers like this could help
something similar is used in programing to
track different versions and to be able to
go back to the old ones

nested group to the working one with decision making rights

NG - nested group
DM - decision making
FE - functional element



                        ---------------
                       | NG (proposal) |
                        ---------------
                      /
                     /
                    /
 -----------       /
|    FE    | <----

        |
        |--> goals               }
        |--> measurable terms    }      ----------------------
        |--> continuation period } --> | approval (NG exists) |
        |--> notice period       }      ----------------------

                                                        |

        -------------       -----------------------     |
       | NG gains DM | <-- | NG chooses coordiator | <--
