– Who will host ? Kristine will host, other CB members will be on the Board update call
– Could we start with 5 minutes per WG to share where they are at ? Inclusivity activities moved to CE Task Force
5. Nomination Process for CB Vacancy
Roll out the original TFF process to the PT, communication out by Monday. Open solicitation. Since this is a Governance representative, eligible people should be currently affiliated with Governance.
6. Planning October All-PT Themed Call (2020.10.25)
Working Theme : Relationship between PT & SGS (and Board ?)
Can we invite a member of SGS (and Board ?)
Verify and update or confirm originally planned time of call.
Focus on — results of the Center and Group survey — what is happening in the centers? — invite Melanie Klein and whoever from the Board would be appropriate. This fits with the PT role of connecting the entities through feedback.
7. Discussion re. inviting and training new PT members (i.e. Finance & Legal)
Condense and update the material from the TFF on belonging to the PT. expectations, operating instructions. One-on-one prep. People will be invited for specific tasks/work groups. This will need to be crafted and the right people invited. Include the results on the survey from the 9-26 meeting. How do we talk about PT membership – not a club but an invitation for service, a fluid enterprise with a time frame. And an interactive experience.
PT as a verb, it means we agreed to do this. Re-look at the TFF material from this perspective?
The PT Working Groups should have updated descriptions on the PT web site, so people will know what we are doing. What are the unmet needs going forward? Responsibility – the ability to respond.
Flex Time
– PT Support to Centres ?
– A Time for Empathetic Conversations ?
Could we invite Centers and Groups to an open call where they articulate what they need and where they are? Organize by time zones? Select dates in November. What are you concerned about, where do you need support, help C&G’s connect to each other. PT as “switchboard operator”
8. Debrief and Closing
8.A. Brief Meeting Evaluation (thumb gestures and, or a quick round of liked & did not like, deeper discussion would be scheduled for another time)
8.B. Closing Touch-In
8.C. Dedication of Merit
8.D. Bow
