Allocation of tasks along rational criteria. Selecting someone for a position because they are liked by the group or giving them hard work because they are disliked serves neither the group nor the person in the long run. Ability, interest, and responsibility have got to be the major concerns in such selection. People should be given an opportunity to learn skills they do not have, but this is best done through some sort of “apprenticeship” program rather than the “sink or swim” method. Having a responsibility one cant handle well is demoralizing. Conversely, being blacklisted from doing what one can do well does not encourage one to develop ones skills. Women have been punished for being competent throughout most of human history; the movement does not need to repeat this process.<br/> Allocation of tasks along rational criteria.

- [x] Diffusion of information to everyone as frequently as possible. Information is power. Access to information enhances ones power. When an informal network spreads new ideas and information among themselves outside the group, they are already engaged in the process of forming an opinion without the group participating. The more one knows about how things work and what is happening, the more politically effective one can be. - [x]

Equal access to resources needed by the group. This is not always perfectly possible, but should be striven for. A member who maintains a monopoly over a needed resource (like a printing press owned by a husband, or a darkroom) can unduly influence the use of that resource. Skills and information are also resources. Members skills can be equitably available only when members are willing to teach what they know to others. Equal access to resources needed by the group.

- *Point 1: we mediate the "Allocation of tasks along rational criteria" with tradition and workflow yes people to fill roles are chosen by lottery from the pool of interested and motivated persons. We have no-blame, easy "step down" workflow - the next person is immediately chosen from the pool. If a person who is clearly a troll or "trouble maker" holds a position they can easily be “recoiled” by the group/body/consensus of the voices, a new person is then immediately chosen by lottery to fill the role.* - *Point 1: we mediate the "Allocation of tasks along rational criteria" with tradition and workflow, yet people to fill roles are chosen by lottery from the pool of interested and motivated persons.
