- (SSF, JB) – Membership/Serving on the PT All-PT Call Feedback
Need to review the recording of the September call. Transcript provided. Need to extract meaningful nuggets. No action to date. - (JB) – CE TF Update on the Timetable
Themes for upcoming events: “Belonging to Shambhala” and “How to have Difficult Conversations” are some themes to explore through Shambhala Day.
Also, other PT WGs want to initiate conversations (GMS, Code of Conduct). Input on conversations to be captured.
Can we be more concrete with the timetable, or put together a sequence of events? We are developing a page on website listing names of facilitators and participants. Link here. This is one way the PT is reaching out.
Upcoming conversations will be “practice” for extending CEI beyond PT WGs to the wider community. What format should follow-up take? Conversations to be linear or concurrent? What does the CB intend to do with feedback? Can we map that out? - (CE) – European mandala
CE, IT to meet with each other and other European representatives to identity issues and/or communication opportunities. Include European contacts in Center and Groups mailings as there’s growing interest in communicating. - (JF) – Reconciliation Conversations — What is SGS doing?
Please note differentiation between Code of Conduct (baseline for what is misconduct) and Care and Conduct (a restorative project).
