PauseAI Organization
Welcome to PauseAI!
Organization structure
- Legal entities : PauseAI consists of one international entity, and several local / national legal entities. This website and the social media accounts are managed by the international entity. National entities can have their own website and their own way of doing things.
- People (Volunteers) : List of registered volunteers who have opted to show their profile and have committed to work on PauseAI for at least some hours a week.
- Teams : Our volunteers work in all sorts of teams. Every team has its own leader, Discord channel, Drive folder and of course list of members. Reach out to a team leader to join a team!
- National groups : National PauseAI groups are hubs that typically manage their own local communities, and are responsible for national-level strategy and coordination. They typically have their own website, social media accounts and legal entity.
- Local communities : Check if there already exists a community in your area. Most groups are communicating in our discord server, in the
#local-meetups
channel (If you want to create a new local group, post there!). Some groups are using tools like WhatsApp or a separate Discord server.
Onboarding process
- Sign up as a member (on the join page or on Discord)
- Someone from the onboarding team reaches out to you for a one-on-one!
