Weekend Getaway Winter Edition 2025

@Lee - we think it should be possible to have some meeting time of 2h or so, but the idea was to be able to enjoy time together in a non-work way, so a full day plenary seems a too much indeed…

We were thinking to try and do the power/responsibility talk on friday evening if we could, so as to keep as much of the days free, but it depends what time people would get in, and would mean people coming for the day would definetly not be there. If we keep this slot, would it be ok to have plenary items then, even if not everybody can make it as there can be proxies?
We then thought to have a couple of meeting time in the mornings, but on second thought, I’m thinking that it’s a bit much, and would suggest to have only one other session if we can do the friday evening - @reef-communitylife what do you think?

@Dave will do a more complete post soon.

So in the meanwhile Dave has posted his schedule (see (TEST MESSAGE) REEF WEEKEND: 14-16 February 2025), where I see an emotional check-in session on Friday evening, and then a plenary meeting on Saturday and Sunday morning.

For me personally, doing the session on power and responsibility on the Friday doesn’t work very well. I’d like as many people as possible to be present, and personally I also like my Friday evenings to be light and casual (but that’s just me). The solution for this would be to put it at the Full Members dinner on the 30th and/or to already cover some piece this Saturday when we will be talking about governance reform.

For the plenaries, as much as I would like to go without them, I worry that the avant-projet stage doesn’t allow for it, so I’d like to keep those if possible.

How does that sound?
