How

Based on the information available and best practices for creating a constitution for network participants, here's a suggested approach:

Structure of the constitution

• Purpose and vision of the network
• Governance structure and decision-making processes
• Roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders
• Rules for participation and engagement
• Mechanisms for dispute resolution
• Process for amending the constitution

Who should write it

How it should be written

• Start with a collaborative session to define the overall vision and key principles
• Break down into smaller working groups to draft specific sections
• Use iterative feedback cycles to refine the document
• Consider using tools like the Organizational Charter template to guide the process
• Aim for transparency in the drafting process to build trust and buy-in from all participants

Additional considerations

• Ensure the constitution aligns with the network's goals and open participation ethos
• Address potential issues like the "tyranny of structurelessness" by clearly defining roles and decision-making processes
• Consider including mechanisms for ongoing review and adaptation of the constitution to keep it relevant as the network evolves

Remember that creating a constitution is an iterative process. It may take several rounds of drafting, feedback, and revision to arrive at a document that truly represents the collective vision and values of the network participants.
