+# 5: Coop Structures and Governance
+
+## Pre-session
+
+If you are the presenting PS for this session, prep a **15–20 minute** case study from your studio covering:
+
+- How your studio makes decisions now
+- What you tried that didn't work
+- One example of governance helping resolve a real issue
+
+## **What happens in session**
+
+Studios learn about legal structures (sole prop, partnership, corporation, worker coop), governance models (collective governance, advice process, sociocratic circles, board + membership, DisCOs), and member management (adding, departing, removing members). A PS presenter shares a 15-20 minute case study on their studio's governance journey. The session introduces Community Rule as a tool for documenting governance in plain language. Key themes: making governance visible, designing structures from the patterns noticed in Session 4, and distinguishing between governance practice and legal incorporation.

+If you are the presenting PS for this session, prepare a **15-20 minute case study** covering: how your studio makes decisions now, what you tried that didn't work, and one example of governance helping resolve a real issue. Be honest about the messy parts.
+
+:::
+
+
+### :eyes: **Your role during session**
+
+- If presenting: deliver your case study
+- Observe how your studio responds to the governance models — what resonates? What causes confusion or resistance?
+- Listen for whether they connect their Session 4 Informal Hierarchy Check-In observations to governance design choices
+- Note how they react to the member removal discussion — this is often where discomfort shows up
+
+
+### 👆 **Your role after session**
+
+- Make sure your studio has access to [Community Rule](https://communityrule.info/)
+- Confirm they understand the homework: start a Community Rule draft with you, discuss financial sustainability, and do a personal reflection on financial access
+- Note which governance model(s) they're gravitating toward
+
+
+## **This week's Studio Support Meeting: Community Rule Drafting**
+
+### **📚 Materials**
+
+- [Community Rule](https://communityrule.info/) tool (open in browser)
+- Studio's Informal Hierarchy Check-In observations from Session 4
+- Notes on which governance model(s) interested them
+
+
+### :world_map: **Context**
+
+This is a working session. You're helping the studio start documenting their governance in plain language using Community Rule. They don't need to finish — the goal is to surface where they already have answers vs. where they need more conversation. This draft will evolve.
+
+
+### **👆 Before the session**
+
+- Familiarize yourself with the Community Rule interface and fields
+- Review the studio's Informal Hierarchy Check-In observations
+- Have the governance models overview handy (collective governance, advice process, circles, board + membership) in case they need a refresher
+
+
+### **🌊 Session flow**
+
+#### **Check-in (5 min)**
+
+"What governance model stuck with you from the session? Did anything click — or feel wrong?"
+
+
+#### **Community Rule walkthrough (10 min)**
+
+Open the tool together. Walk through the fields it asks for:
+
+- What is this community?
+- Who are the members? What qualifies someone for membership?
+- How are decisions made?
+- What roles exist?
+- How do you change these rules?
+
+Don't try to fill everything in right away. Start by identifying which fields the studio can answer easily vs. which ones need more discussion.
+
+Prompts:
+
+- "Where do you already have a clear answer?"
+- "Where is there genuine disagreement or uncertainty?"
+- "Which of these have you been doing by default without naming it?"
+
+
+#### **Draft together (20-25 min)**
+
+Start filling in what you can. Focus on the fields where there's energy or alignment. When you hit a field where there's disagreement, note it and move on — don't try to resolve everything today.
+
+**Key fields to prioritize:**
+
+**Decision-making:** "Based on what you practiced in Session 4, what framework are you leaning toward for different types of decisions?"
+
+- Major decisions (new members, large spending, creative direction shifts)
+- Day-to-day decisions (task assignment, meeting scheduling)
+- Emergency/time-sensitive decisions
+
+**Roles:** "What roles do you actually need right now? Who's doing them? Was that decided or default?"
+
+Connect back to their role distribution mapping from last week.
+
+**Membership:** "This is the hard one. What happens when someone wants to join? When someone wants to leave? When someone needs to leave?"
+
+- You don't need to resolve this today. Just surface where assumptions differ.
+- If they resist discussing removal: "I know this is uncomfortable. But having a process before you need it is a form of care."
+
+
+#### **Close and gaps list (5 min)**
+
+- Make a list of fields that still need discussion
+- "What's the most important unresolved question?"
+- "Who's going to take a first pass at writing up what we decided today?"
+
+
+### 👉 **Also this week**
+
+#### **Financial sustainability conversation**
+
+Session 5 homework asks each person to reflect: *What does financial sustainability look like for you personally? What would you need from this project?*
+
+This is prep for Session 6 (Equitable Economics). Check in during the week:
+
+- "Has everyone spent some time thinking about the financial sustainability question?"
+- "And the personal reflection: what financial information have you never been allowed to see at work?"
+
+These don't need to be discussed as a studio yet — just make sure individuals are reflecting.
+
+
+### :star: **Tips**
+
+If they want to pick a governance model immediately:
+
+- "You don't have to commit today. Start with collective governance or advice process — you can add complexity as you learn what you actually need."
+
+If Community Rule feels bureaucratic:
+
+- "Think of it as making the invisible visible. You're already doing governance — this just names it."
+
+If they skip over membership/removal:
+
+- "This is the part that matters most when things get hard. Even a rough sketch now saves a lot of pain later."
+
+If one person is doing all the talking about governance:
+
+- "Governance designed by one person is just management with extra steps. Everyone needs to shape this."
+
+If time runs short:
+
+- Prioritize decision-making and roles. Membership can be returned to next week.
+
+
+### **🏁 After the session**
+
+- Note where the studio has clear alignment vs. where they got stuck
+- Note any tension around membership/removal — these conversations will deepen
+- Remind them about the financial sustainability reflection for Session 6 prep
+- Bring the draft status to your PS check-in
+
+
+## :triangular_flag_on_post: **Red flags to watch for**
+
+- A studio that resists documenting anything — "we just know how we work" (that's exactly the problem)
+- Governance designed around one person's strengths or preferences
+- Avoiding the membership/removal conversation entirely
+- Confusing governance with incorporation — "we're not a real coop yet so we don't need this"
+- A draft that looks perfect on paper but doesn't match how the studio actually operates
