A first meeting agenda
- Gather five to nine willing participants with varied skills and perspectives.
- Agree on one practical, lawful goal: a readiness workshop, source archive or public-service directory.
- Choose a time-limited facilitator, recorder, finance contact and safety/privacy contact. Roles are not ranks.
- Publish a simple charter, decision method, conflict rules, spending approvals and process for correcting errors.
- Invite feedback from people affected by the project, including nonmembers and people who disagree.
- Set a 30-day deliverable and a review date; record how to end or hand off the project.

Non-negotiable safeguards
Voluntary participation; right to leave; no ideological loyalty test; no secret rank; no coercion, intimidation or weapons program; published non-sensitive finances; role rotation; documented conflicts of interest; privacy by default; no special privileges for founders; human appeal within the Circle itself.
First useful project
Pick a community center, library or local partner and run a free household continuity workshop based on official materials. Track how many plans were completed—not how many people adopted FFTAC philosophy.
Keep the work replicable
Store an accessible charter, resource list, templates and corrections history. No single person should control money, membership lists, publications and technology at the same time.
