Please see [[OSE Mentorship]] - this reflects the separation of the OSE Chapter creation process into the mentorship/training phase and the actual startup of a chapter. The first part is straightforward, while the details of the chapter agreement depend on many unknowns. To mitigate risk in OSE Chapter startup, we are leaving the details of Chapter agreements to after successful completion of the mentorship/training phase.
Details are to be resolved, but obviously they would need to be financially sustainable meeting or exceeding industry standards, and would be a small percentage of revenue 'royalty' to allow for franchise growth worldwide, where all  revenue collected goes back into programs (building new [[OSE Campuses]], creating new products, etc). Here we would create a thing that can scale to 10k-30k of facilities worldwide - essentially one near every population center, each doing about $100M/year in programs, for at least a trillion in revenue by about 2038- or 10 years from GVCS completion.


I would consider $50-100k net/year revenue as minimum successful operation in the first year, paying the operator $50-100k. The growth opportunity is there for a full campus at $20-40M/year revenue as a considerable center of human progress, over about 10 years.

For a nominal $50k operation, I would like to see OSE get a chapter fee from 1-10%, aiming for the lower scale - but depending on the involvement of the operator in further product development. This could also be a flat fee.
 
The contract intent is to '''coordinate and guarantee progress on completion of the [[Global Village Construction Set]] civilization-in-a-box, and to guarantee the creation of [[OSE Campuses]] as a global, coordinated effort until a transition beyond scarcity-based economics is achieved.''' This means reaching the [[Open Source Economy]].
 
I think what may make sense is an annual and then bi-annual charter, in which case if the relationship is working well, the charter is renewed by OSE, but if the operator wants to defect, that is fine also. The intent is voluntary collaboration in a world of growing abundance, ideally. But not drinking champagne through the lips of its leaders. Ie, risk and reward is shared in some way. So we can work on what this means as a contract.
 
Cost to chapter: First, the assumption is that this all goes to coordinating all effort first towards GVCS completion and then to creation of OSE Campuses; chapter fee; development time and collaboration on all programsBasic of benefit: brand, marketing assistance, continually evolving product catalog, continuing training to stay on top, community, annual conference

Please see OSE Mentorship - this reflects the separation of the OSE Chapter creation process into the mentorship/training phase and the actual startup of a chapter. The first part is straightforward, while the details of the chapter agreement depend on many unknowns. To mitigate risk in OSE Chapter startup, we are leaving the details of Chapter agreements to after successful completion of the mentorship/training phase.
