Which then means aswell that this poposal is a combination out of different opinions to bring them in a line to create colaborative processes. On here you will find arguments why to be free of money aswell on why to use. For what you'll decide is your choise. All I try is to encourage you to see the impact.
To understand the guidlines itself following an little excurs into the function of money.
Money:
Money is the idea of storing value into something abstract. It comes across with a philosophy which is stongly ancord around the fear (thought) of not getting enough. Which is then the main reason of traiding instead of giftconomy. Trading by it self is pushing people into alinging themself towards profitable actions, instead of freely following their dreams. This simply means that motivations are shifting from intrinsic direction extrinsic. As more the motivation is shifted direction extrinsic motivation as more you'll get controled by the effects formed by capitalism.
"extrinsic motivation: “Extrinsic motivation refers to the performance of an activity in order to attain a desired outcome and it is the opposite of intrinsic motivation.[5] Extrinsic motivation comes from influences outside of the individual. In extrinsic motivation, the harder question to answer is where do people get the motivation to carry out and continue to push with persistence. Usually extrinsic motivation is used to attain outcomes that a person wouldn’t get from intrinsic motivation.[11] Common extrinsic motivations are rewards (for example money or grades) for showing the desired behavior, and the threat of punishment following misbehavior. Competition is an extrinsic motivator because it encourages the performer to win and to beat others, not simply to enjoy the intrinsic rewards of the activity. A cheering crowd and the desire to win a trophy are also extrinsic incentives”

What if I still like to use money?
Feel free what ever you feel is right to do. I'm just wish that you'll integrate in your considuration the effect of money by itself towards our society.
If you still like to use money here some guidlines on a organsational point of view.
Everything regarding money is done via proxy spendings.
This means: Yunity doesnt have a banc account and no specific people taking care of money inside the organisation. Yunity doesnt spend any money.
Needs with potential costs for Yunity are requested and then donated by individuals and/or teams (foundations, fundraising groups) to yunity.
Every resource yunity works with is based on donation and direct contribution.
This implies that monetary donations are always bound to specific resources or intentions when they are received by yunitymembers.
There is no moneyflow inside yunity.
There is no money management inside yunity , only resource management , which is another topic.
Expenditure
1. Avoidance
If we can avoid spending money as an organization or by proxy, we should. Not using money is the most coherent option with our mission and vision and avoids us spending time and energy documenting and dealing with money. Avoidance of expenditure should be the starting consideration.
- Do we need it? Take a moment to consider whether we need this resource to achieve our goals.
- Can we get it without any financial transaction? Can we;
- Construct: Make the thing from existing resources.
- Reclaim:Many resources are abandoned, discarded or unused.
- Borrow: Many of the resources we need, others have.
- Gift: Some people have things they don't use. (this is different to someone purchasing a resource explicitly to donate it, see below)
2. Contributor or proxy donation
No one is expected to spend money in, or on behalf of the yunity organization. If a contributor or interested individual wishes to purchase a resource to achieve the goals of yunity with their own money, they can. Every proxiy do, the person will not be excluded. Which means, is able to contribute free of limits.
For anything explicitly purchased for yunity it is recommended to properly record: name, date, and copy of receipt. Recording is optional and not aimed to glorify donors, however, recording this information is very useful to indicate where yunity is still reliant on money and will help us achieve even lower running costs in the future.
3. Contributor or proxy transaction
No one is expected to spend money in, or on behalf of the yunity organization. If a contributor or interested individual wishes to purchase a resource to achieve the goals of yunity with their own money, they can. If they wish to have this expenditure refunded, they must properly record: name, date and have copy of the receipt. No purchase is guaranteed to be refunded, though considering the following will indicate whether refunding is likely;
- Consult explicit decisions. If the resource has been explicitly agreed upon as being an acceptable or unacceptable purchase in the past, this will provide the most reliable indication of whether the purchase is eligible for reimbursement.
- Consult guidelines. The guidelines should provide some indication of whether the purchase is eligible for reimbursement.
If it is decided that refunding is appropriate, only the value that was spent at the time will be refunded (i.e. not adjusted for inflation). It should also be noted that there is no indication or guarantee of when the purchase will be refunded (i.e. could never happen).(this porposal is mainly made via copy paste. So thx to all who where actually really writing something ^^. Douglas Webb, Joachim Thome
