<font face="Trebuchet MS">Hi Robin,<br>
I don't know how you would apply it to complementary currencies</font>
but various versions of the arrangements you outline have been in
place for 17 years in <a href="http://i-p-n.org/" target="_blank">The Independent
Practitioner Network [IPN]</a> that I belong to in the UK. Smaller
groups than you mention, 5-8, meet every six weeks or so. Their task
is get to know each other well enough to be able to 'stand by' their
work with clients (a reputation 'metric'?). For me the strong
version of this derives from <a href="http://www.human-inquiry.com/asre.htm" target="_blank">'self and peer
assessment'</a> based on a list of mutually agreed criteria, which
is what you seem to be suggesting.<br>
<br>
I have written about this extensively, see my forthcoming book <a href="http://www.pccs-books.co.uk/products/therapy-futures/#" target="_blank">Therapy
Futures</a> and previously <a href="http://www.pccs-books.co.uk/products/regulating-the-psychological-therapies-from-taxonomy-to-taxidermy/#.UF63CVEpXnj" target="_blank">Regulating
the psychological therapies.</a><br>
<br>
In my experience your assumption...<br>
<br>
<font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">... that
self-determination, that is, autonomy (intrinsic motivation),
relatedness and competence is vital for social justice where for
individuals to be self-determining, everyone else must be
self-determining.</font><br>
<br>
...is very sound. <br>
<br>
A critical other dimension is that the distribution of power is
constantly under scrutiny, ie that dominance and subordination are
eliminated. This doesn't mean that hierarchies of experience and
skill are eliminated but that decision making is consensual. A tough
task this since domination often seems to me to be in the grain of
the times.<br>
<br>
I hope this helps <br>

<p style="line-height:normal;margin-bottom:0pt" class="MsoNormal">I am researching (via a PhD with the University of
Tasmania) the idea of a reputation metric as a currency in a
complementary currency project to
test whether it would increase trust and other prosocial
behaviours in local
communities but most importantly to scale up trust between
people that don’t
know each other. What ideas do people have about how you would
structure a
reputation metric in practice? My vague ideas at the moment
are that you could
have resilience circles, small groups of 20 to 30 people who
would meet once a
month. They would act as support for each other, but also the
group would
allocate a score for individuals over the previous month based
on set criteria
for how each have exchanged with other people whether in the
group or with
others in different groups against the criteria which would
attempt to vaguely
measure autonomy, competence and relatedness. My research is
based on the
assumption that self-determination, that is, autonomy
(intrinsic motivation),
relatedness and competence is vital for social justice where
for
individuals to be self-determining, everyone else must be
self-determining.</p>

<div>Any advice appreciated, eg are there are other groups that
I could this to that might be relevant? Do I need to supply
more information?</div>
