# Circles 🔘

**Circles are decentralised groups of Members who take responsibility for a certain domain.** Circles work together with the team of Stewards on the ground to implement the Masterplan, as shown on the graph below:

![Stewards <> Circles](https://1609559115-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F3yT5mUg6I7d3cZzellC8%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-f6964a0a5a2da80a34fbc486d4555d6d6bb95493%2Ftdf-stewards-circles.jpg?alt=media)

At the moment TDF includes the following circles:

* Mission
* Land & Permaculture
* Community
* Architecture
* Legal

Members step into the circle for a period of 3.5 months, aligned with the StewardSHEEP. Circles are expected to suggest a proposal for the roadmap of their cycle including projects they want to execute and token allocation. Each circle (as well as TDF Stewards) selects a delegate. Delegates coordinate activities between circles within the *Coordination Circle.*

Members contributing their energy within a Circle get compensated with tokens.

For more information about each Circle and how to join, please consult our [Pink Paper](https://docs.google.com/document/d/177JkHCy0AhplsaEEYpFHBsiI6d4uLk0TgURSKfBIewE/mobilebasic#h.slung3isnj8q).
