Meeting minutes
Tzviya: Liz and I are
finding 2nd and 4th Tuesday to be confusing
… how would you feel about alternate Tuesdays instead?
… if there's a 5th Tuesday in the month we wouldn't
lose a meeting
Ralph: for meetings that meet more than once a month, that does seem easier
Tzviya: ok; I'll make that change in the calendar
Training materials for chairs and general membership
Tzviya: Liz and I notice
that our most frequent request is for training materials
… there are three courses in the works and we need to
get something out there
… also, our current Ombuds have little/no formal
training
… and are not supposed to be in the management tier
… we have almost everything in place to proceed with
an Ombuds program but we need training
… we had a detailed plan, some of which is dependent
on move to legal entity
… we need to move forward with an Ombuds plan
… and in particular a training plan
… we don't have the resources to write a training plan
ourselves
… we'll need outside resources and that will have to
be funded
… then we can move forward with a selection process
Sheila: we could discuss
next steps
… I know a couple of trainers who might have this in
their offerings
… but I want to know everyone's preferences before I
reach out to them
Tzviya: international-ness
is one of our expectations
… but W3C is not unique there; many corporations have
international ombuds
… maybe we need to draft an RFP for ombuds training
… I can start a draft and share it with those who have
more idea of what ombuds training involves
… what about the conflict de-escalation training?
Ralph: Jory had prototyped
such training with the Team and we'd collected some feedback
… I lost track of where that stands
Tzviya: I talked with Jory a
few months ago. She would like to work on that but is very busy
… and WendyR had some ideas about some practical
training
… I think our next job is working on this
… also we've been asked to work on CEPC to include
consequences
… we can resume that in January
… we won't meet on Dec 28
… Liz has been working on disciplinary action and
consequences to add to CEPC
