Discussion
What has the PT done ?
– Wrote the Code of Conduct
– Community engagement framework
– Ton of survey and data management support
– Work on governance history, models and issues
How do we ensure needed structure of PT as a whole, while supporting autonomy of WG & ST ?
Process Team is independent of Board & Potrang and their assessment is independent of PT activity.
Purpose of PT goes beyond a leadership crisis, carries forward.
Questions to expand on and remind where we are at :
– What autonomy do WG need ?
– What is the role of the CB ?
Ask WG :
– How do you presently deal with bringing people in, being active, and stepping down ?
– Ask people serving on the PT :
– Why are you involved in the PT ?
– If you feel the PT has no purpose, what keeps you on the PT ?
– What kind of accountability are you prepared to accept ?
– What is the role of the PT in Shambhala ?
– How can we have more involvement in the PT ?
– Is the structure that we need for Year 3 different than the one we have now ?
– Could we do a PT-Community brainstorm on (new) areas that need attention ?
4.B. Europe
Could we create a Support Team to encourage Europeans to enter the PT and WG (most of the original members have left or are inactive) and this Support group could also be a space to discuss the European issues.
