4. 2021 CB Renewal Process
Volunteers for 2021 CB Renewal TF ?
Nominations ?
Review of Vacant Role Descriptions
Open 1 seat to a person external to PT ?
What happens if we have none or only a few nominations?
Should we reduce size of CB? That would mean changing the model.
It seems that some WGs are also experiencing issues with participation. Is this a PT issue overall?
External view of the PT attributes more power to the PT than it actually possesses. One view of this power is realizing that there is no one “right” answer.
The Conversations group is growing and diversifying and may reflect what is wanted generally. Can PT fill upcoming needs?
How do we invite sanity to arise?
CB needs some minimal structure. (The Communications role is critical, e.g.)
This year has been a year for the PT to “come out” to the mandala
one big thing the CB did was to organize monthly all-PT calls; another was to create a conversations forum, the CEI.
CB connects SGS and Board to the PT so we can support them; connects WGs to each other
Provides moral support and encouragement for the PT to reach out to the community and magnify its voice – various ways, with the conversations initiative and the Europe- revitalization effort
Because we have a European member, the CB helps bridge cultures of Europe and Americas
