@dclara - yep
In terms of "forcibly dropped" - the group is run free of charge, so contribution is key. No contribution = "forcibly dropped". Contribution means taking part in a mastermind group, discussions or asking / giving help.
On evaluation, I'd like to move to a democratic way of evaluating it where the group or a group within the group decide. I believe that's what http://yec.co/ do.
* It's a global group
* We have group owners (volunteers) who start groups and organise them to suit their goals and timezones
* It's mostly a tech / web audience
* It's more support and accountability than mentoring
* Mastermind groups are run bi-weekly (depends on the group owner). We're looking to introduce weekly mastermind groups on specific subjects i.e. PR, SEO, pricing, partnerships, etc.
* We also include a weekly summary / round up of discussions that have taken place in the group that week and on Mondays people post their goals for the week, which other people comment on / offer help / ask questions
On iii) we are working on improving this all the time
The group is full of founders who all have different experiences and knowledge to pass on. "Quality" can be subject for sure, but I believe founders can help other founders regardless of where they are in the process of starting / running a business.
The big thing is contribution. solo.im / mastermind groups is just one thing of many you can get involved in and get help from when you are a founder.
