These are the agreements and policies written and adopted by the intentional community members of the LA Eco-Village through a consensus process. Most of these pages are ReadOnly -not everyone can edit them -because the community feels more comfortable keeping them intact. Or because the wording is specific and consensus has been reached in live meetings about it.
Notice that you can still leave comments by clicking on the comments link at the bottom of each page.
Pages marked as drafts have not been consensed on by the community.
