Invitation to join the Feasta Currency Group

This message is sent to the extended Feasta email list, as a one-time
invitation to join the Feasta Currency Group if you are interested in
pursuing a currency initiative in your locality.
What is the Feasta Currency Group?

It’s a primarily online Community of Practice (CoP) for local currency
advocates (and would-
be advocates) to share experience and information around the development
and implementation of local currencies – initially via a Facebook Group and
a group email list.
Why have a separate group?

Because it sometimes makes sense to share and develop incomplete ideas and
preliminary plans of action with input from peers before going completely
public. Feasta covers a very broad range of economic sustainability issues
– not all Feasta followers are interested in the way designer currencies
can impact local economies.
Is this solely about developing The Liquidity Network (LQN)?

No. The FCG is committed to developing and detailing the ideas behind the
LQN <http://www.theliquiditynetwork.org>, and getting
them into practice, but we do not see this as a competitive process. We
want to engage with local currency advocates as their own ideas develop,
help them to articulate objectives for their currencies, co-design and
develop tools for understanding local economic circuits, and watch and
learn from their dialogues with their peers.
Does the CoP include national as well as local initiatives?

This will depend on the interests of the members. The FCG sees the
potential reintroduction of national currencies in europe as an extension
of local currency discussion. The distinction is perhaps between activism
and policy-influencing and at present the FCG is more committed to the
former. But CoPs belong to their members.
Do I have to be a member of Feasta?

We aren't going to police this, but we'd very much appreciate it if you
were. Membership <http://www.feasta.org/get-involved/> is a small price to
pay to support Feasta's wide ranging work programme, and the small central
admin team at Cloughjordan.
So how do I sign up?

Just reply to this email

Feasta Currency Group <currency at feasta.org>

and we'll keep you posted.

Feasta Ltd., AE House, Main Street, Cloughjordan, CountyTipperary, Ireland
