Narrative:

Is there an ambassadorship between sociocratic organizations

2 Concepts

An organization of organizations where each organization has its own mission circle however is also part of a larger general circle which has its’ own Mission Circle
- As in like one company that produces many products in a variety of industries
A network of organizations
- this means that while the organizations influence each other they do not share decision making authority in each other’s organization

Having completely incompatible objections
- If needed can consent to expel a member if needed
- better to get rid of that person as its only going to hinder the organizations work towards the aim
