<cwilso> scribenick:

Tzviya: housekeeping: timezone changes in the US before next meeting. We've generally kept this in sync with Europe/US, not UTC.

<Jem> +1 keeping it as it is

<wendyreid> +1

<Judy> +1 to keeping it as is, conflicts with fewer meetings

Tzviya: resolved, keep this meeting at same relative time to US.

Barbara: the Media Entertainment group is this time slot, so if we can stagger that would be good.

Housekeeping: clock change

Tzviya: will see what we can do
… zakim, close agenda 1

Proposed Training (Wendy)

tzviya: wendy is looking for a little more feedback on this:

<tzviya> https://rak.app.box.com/s/mh0orlvf7ljv7h49g79ahzfil0y9zu3r

wendy: this is the outline; made some changes based on last meeting's feedback. Logistically: less than two hours. Instructive+collaborative.
… will do a recording of the instructive section, followed by live collaborative
… no minuting of collab/Q&A sections (may cover those topics in future sessions)
… topics to cover: effective meeting facilitation, tipcs and tricks, CEPC, managing conflict, fostering discussion
… open discussion of techniques for handling heated discussions, etc.

<Zakim> tzviya, you wanted to add coaching techniques

tzviya: this is really good, would it be good to add some coaching techniques? (e.g. saying "why")
… any other thoughts?

Jemma: love this. Does this cover CG chairs as well as WG chairs? Does it include hands-on work/instruction?

wendy: I'll see if I can add that - hands-on discussion.

<Jem> may be case study discussion?

barb: agenda is great. I'd like to see some stronger "inclusion and diversity is valued at W3C" messaging. We're not always crisp and clear about that. Is there a simple way to add that?

barb: yes. I haven't written the actual modules yet. This should be explicit, too.

<sheila> http://www.dismantlingracism.org/uploads/4/3/5/7/43579015/okun_-_white_sup_culture.pdf

sheila: love the agenda. I've been working on inserting antidotes to white supremacy culture.

wendy: love it, will find a way to include.

tzviya: this is a great reference

<Jem> I also love that it uses difference approach such as instructional, collaborative and so on.

<wseltzer> +1 great resource

annette: question and a comment. Is this meant to augment or replace the existing chairs training.

judy: the past chairs trainings have usually been run by PLH. There was one we started on the CEPC, with a plan to run several and record it. There was a meeting of PWE quite a few months ago where I re-raised that and was told we needed something fresh, so we've dropped that past training.

tzviya: this is a first step at replacing this.

<Jem> +100

annette: this reads like a really nice presentation. What I'm missing is the detail of "how do you start up Zakim," , setting agenda in advance, etc.
… we should be clear about what we're proposing here.

https://github.com/immersive-web/administrivia/blob/main/IRC.md

cwilso: I put together some details for the Immersive Web chairs when they began
… see ^
… refers to the Guide, which has more detail

<tzviya> https://www.w3.org/Guide/

<Jem> aria onboarding issue I worked on - https://github.com/w3c/aria/issues/1401

cwilso: I'll also note that there's more variation among groups of late
… in tooling

tzviya: added a link to the Guide ^

jemma: I also created an onboarding document for the ARIA WG.
… it might be good to separate these resources into one pile

<BarbH> +1

wendy: Yes; I need to re-organize the prerecorded sessions vs Q&A/collaborative sessions.
… will probably record these as small chunks, rather than one long recording

tzviya: judy referred to another session Jory Burson did on conflict resolution/de-escalation, maybe a slide or two from that would go well here.

jemma: I love the Guide for Busy People

<tzviya> https://github.com/w3c/wg-effectiveness/blob/main/process.md

<sheila> I'd be happy to help, as needed

tzviya: we should talk about timelines if Wendy is ready

I'm happy to help

wseltzer: terrific work, happy to help

tzviya: tpac inclusion

TPAC Inclusion Fund (Liz)

<tzviya> https://github.com/w3c/PWETF/issues/174

wseltzer: wasn't at the Chairs meeting this morning; not clear if hybrid meeting or purely virtual

<tzviya> here is the communication we wrote for last year https://github.com/w3c/PWETF/blob/main/TPACDiversityFundProposalComms.md#tpac-fellows-stipend

wseltzer: in whatever form TPAC takes, we'd like to help inclusion
… as we know more about what the meeting will look like, we can figure out what kind of outreach to have.

jemma: we will need to clarify the goals of the fund to make sure we're getting appropriate requests.

tzviya: AC meeting is coming up in just a few weeks, so it would be good to get a call out then.

https://github.com/w3c/PWETF/blob/main/TPACDiversityFundProposalComms.md#tpac-fellows-stipend

barb: what was the AC/TAG's feedback on the funds?

tzviya: in the years that we're remote, people are pleased we're doing it, but there's not that much advocacy.
… positive feeling.

+1

barb: inclusion and diversity only came up in the W3C's strategic update in the context of accessibility
… it seems we need to get Jeff (and the AC) more on board...

wseltzer: thank you for mentioning while we're planning/closing in on the AC meeting. We should highlight that commitment.

+1

barb: happy to help

tzviya: it's important to follow through , not just talk

barb: need to give tools to be successful.

tzviya: adjourned
