[okfn-discuss] organisational theory classics

hello okfn list,

I promised Rufus i would dig out some reference texts on the lines of 
'lessons learned from attempting to build very open consensus driven
organisations' from feminist / anarchist type thinkers in the late
60s/early 70s. 

'The Tyranny of Structurelessness' is a classic that i know of,
here is a URL containing it: 
http://flag.blackened.net/revolt/hist_texts/structurelessness.html
Saul has some more text pointers kicking around, i think. 
This body of thought is a good reference point for 'the movement' 
in the way environmentalism has been, i think.
