Team Governance & Working Methods: general communication

Hello @reef-governance,

As much as I appreciate the initiative of having prepared the agenda, for this first meeting I think I would have like a little more co-creation to kick off this new start.

As for myself, these are the topics that I would like include in this agenda or one of the next ones:

  • Selection of the Team Leader: consent

  • The team’s domain and what is expected from its members: shared understanding

  • How to fit in the asbl Board in our goverance system

  • The circle structure: is it important? If yes => task attribution

  • A possible alternative to “do what you said you were going to do or ask help” => “all tasks are taken up on a voluntary basis, early renegotiation of the deadline is mandatory” => exploration

  • Organising refresher sessions on “participation means power”, “power and responsibility” and on The Reef’s governance system: planning + task attribution

  • How to bring in more evaluation and feedback: how can our team contribute to that? => exploration

thanks lee,

  • I was also thinking that the agenda i set up a few weeks ago, should be adapated.

  • So definately fine to co-create the agenda.

  • I am also open to the topics you propose, but i am afraid for timing. We agreed to keep the meeting to one hour. I am personally open to increase it to 1,5 hour, i don’t know how about you (sophie and lee)?

  • Probably too short notice and more for a next meeting: is the proposal you suggested in this post: Adapting recruitment till we have clarity on the left-over units - #14 by Lee

  • In a previous version of the agenda: you also suggested to consent on a proposal concerning: Proposal on taking on tasks and responsibilities. I guess this is linked to

  • A suggestion: we don’t live that far from each other. I wouldn’t mind going to either of your places to have the meeting in person rather than online. But feel absolutely free to say ‘rather not’, not a big deal.

Happy to extend! And generally not against meetings in person but I won’t be able to accomodate travelling time etc tomorrow.

@reef-governance : following the exchange in our team meeting of yesterday: here the proposal to be brought to the PM of 15/03 about the participation of EM/AM in PM. Can one of you reread to see if it’s in line with what we discussed yesterday?

Hi @els,

I made some drafting suggestions to add a bit more context and flexibility. Can you please have a look?

Thank you both!

Hello @BramV and welcome in The Reef!

I see that you are interested in joining Team Governance. We don’t meet very often, but we are coincidentally about to plan one after the summer break to talk about feedback and accountability (and possibly some more topics that may come up). Fancy joining us?

Hi @BramV @Lee

Should we look to plan a meeting end of August?
I will be on holiday from September 4th till September 19th and if I get it right lee will be away end of September.
I think it would be good to come together before the retreat: Reef Retreat

My calendar is very full already, so I can’t offer many dates. Maybe on 19/08 or 26/08 in the early evening? Let’s move this exchange to Signal for an easier exchange?

Hello @reef-governance,

I prepared a draft post about taking responsibility as agreed at our last meeting. Would anybody have space to give it a quick review? TIA!

hi @reef-governance
I have a question about where the following is falling under, under which domain?

We (R&O) haven’t set a deadline yet for our latest AM, and in the last FM i heard people suggesting to shorten the length of the AM membership phase for our AM in order to still make it for the deadline of 15/12.
If a proposal is to be written, is it for @reef-recruitment or for reef-governance?

Every team is responsible for the policies that are in its domain, so a change to the membership policy would be for R&O.

That said are you sure that a policy change is needed? AFAIK our policies only set a maximum duration?
