Agenda / Notes

Updates

Working Group Draft Goals Update

Jinal and Pete proposed new draft for WG responsibilities and goals

  • ACTION: CWG members to review and feed back in April [All]

Document joining process

Tobias finished first draft and shared for review

Discussion:

  • What info do we expect from someone who wants to join? Potentially a form that provides some structure could help? What would be criteria?
  • No-one has been rejected yet - checking affiliations is there to make sure that no one ‘group’ has majority voice within the WG
  • Do people have to state what they want to do? Or, can people turn up to pitch in where needed? Self-direction important, but also flagging ‘beginner’ projects for people to cut their teeth on… People also don’t necessarily want to work ongoing - more task based - good to facilitate these people…

Actions:

  • ACTION: propose Questions to be answered for new members… JOIN US section? [Pete]
  • ACTION: Onboarding-related - beginner tasks / volunteering opportunities [Rory]

Take stock social media / Clean Up Access to Blog

  • ACTION: Checking with Wille to see if he has the credentials for Instagram [Jinal]

Discussion

  • Should we sort out people’s access? Checking whether people in the system are still active? Once we have updated articulation of objectives and responsibilities for the CWG?
