Meetings and not-so-interesting (practical) issues

The Reef
29

Dear @reeflings,

For the meeting on Tuesday I would like to propose the following agenda points:

1) Update to the membership of the Reef’s asbl (including the Board)

  • Presenter: Alberto
  • Objective: general assembly to update the membership and elect the new members of the Board
  • Preparation required: consider whether you would like to be on the Board (see Alberto’s post of 25/11)
  • Time needed: 15 minutes (max)

2) The Reef’s way of doing things

  • Presenter: Lie
  • Objective: present a proposal on the Reef’s working methods and culture that we want to establish, discuss proposals that need everybody’s agreement and decide on a way forward to finalise the document
  • Preparation required: read the draft proposal (see this document on Google Drive)
  • Time needed: 1 hour (minimum - will likely need follow-up at a next meeting)

3) Outline of the Reef’s Blueprint 1.0

  • Presenter: Lie
  • Objective: get a common understanding of which topics should be included in the Reef’s Blueprint 1.0, so that we can start to tackle them one by one
  • Preparation required: bring a little cheat sheet with the items that you think should be included (e.g. values, common rooms, ecological aspirations, …)
  • Time needed: 20 minutes

4) Sharing of some major tasks

  • Presenter: Lie
  • Objective: list some major tasks and see who would be willing to take responsibility + increase ownership and involvement
  • Preparation required: give some thought to which task(s) you’d be willing to take responsibility for.
    => Non-exhaustive list (will be completed based on agenda point no 3):
    • Research and prepare the update of the statutes (legal aspects on membership and governance)
    • Reading some of the available books and manuals (e.g. “Cohousing for life”, “Sociocracy 3.0”, “The cohousing handbook”, …)
    • Prepare a discussion round on one of the key items for the Reef’s Blueprint 1.0
    • Finalise the “Reef’s way of doing things” document (i.e. prepare a couple of proposals on some specific points)
  • Time required: 20 minutes

Questions:

  • Is this acceptable to everyone?
  • Does anybody want to add any other agenda points?
  • Does anybody want to volunteer as the moderator, note-taker and/or time-keeper?
