4	Purpose of this Document
5		Tool to help visualise 'how governance could be' for the coop. An overview of the structure and relationships between the roles, bodies, committees and working groups in the coop
6		Spirit of Coop governance is that this done collectively, collaboratively and that members step up to have a role in defining 'how we do things round here'. Accordingly, this is intended as a tool to help that collaboration. It's not 'imposed' by anyone, but should be 'owned' by Governence Committee on belalf of the membership.
7		Helps members to 'navigate' the coop. Could be a source of content for the Coop website.

21		Introduction (this sheet) - basic read.me type material
22		Roles - spreadsheet matrix with columns for each of the key roles/bodies/committees in the coop. The first set of rows provides further descriptive detail (attributes) of each role/body/committee. A further set of rows contain the relationships (or 'contracts') between these roles/bodies/committees - implying directional flow and/or control. For example: Board 2 Nom Cttee: the board instructs nominations committee to collect nominations for board vacancies. Nom Cttee 2 Board: Nom Cttee in due course provides names of 1) screened nominees 2) elected candidates.
23		Key - Some attributes have codes and supporting definitions, found on this tab
24		Version Control - major updates - e.g. addition of a new row or column or significant population of attributes should be recorded on this tab
