    <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/">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">'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/#">Therapy
      Futures</a> and previously <a
href="http://www.pccs-books.co.uk/products/regulating-the-psychological-therapies-from-taxonomy-to-taxidermy/#.UF63CVEpXnj">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 class="MsoNormal"
          style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:
          normal">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&#8217;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>
