Non-Business Conversation
Post a link to the approved minutes to the Groups IO regularly – It would be great if in that thread there was a bit of a narrative or summary of the topics discussed.
Set up and ensure a monthly spot in the Shambhala SGS communication stream for ‘PT’ information to the community at large.
KM has been making progress on setting this up with Ashley Dinges.
We will need to plan for lead-time for translations.
CB-PT zoom room acquired?
Start thinking about theme for All-PT Call on Jan 23rd. Will we invite reports from WGs and Initiatives as in November?
– Updates from WG
– Invite Centres & Groups TF to this meeting to hear from them.
CE TF to meet with Mimi V. tomorrow re. What it would take to host planned CE conversations on Shambhala Online.
4. Discussion on Serving on the PT
Designing the process for expanding, inviting, and training new PT members
Review: Nobody outside the PT knows we exist. How to remedy?
PT membership status: Boundary issue. When are you part of PT and no longer a part?
New PT members: WGs extend invitations to others to join when needs are identified, or….?
Communication: within PT/ with community? Outline minutes? How that works?.
Creating less than full “serving on the PT” roles, e.g. “Community Participant”, for those serving only a specific activity, or an Advisor.
