4 | 15 | Steering composition | Here is the link to the document we used last year for the Steering nominations: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zjy-VCSaNAwWmShgt19rX-amVQOqqX-Pu2pFtKADCnM/edit?usp=sharing Michele - Every year a 1/3 of steering will rotate out. Leaders are elected for 1 year. Steering committee elected for 3 years. Having ongoing discussions on how to do structure and move forward. Jyrki - Since the group was set up last year. Agreed that 3 would step down but didn’t make it clear who will step down. Salwa has moved to another organization. Pascal is also ready to step down. Don’t have a third person yet. - Jyrki was chair for one year.
- Need a method to find the third person if nobody volunteers.
- Please send feedback if you have any ideas.
Michele - hoping that most members will be in Leadership group next year. Important to have continuity - Leadership group will be nominated in July. This group will nominate members to Steering Comm.
- Steering meets a little more often - every other week; will have more opportunities to coordinate different WG and initiatives and report back to Leaders.
- There were some conversations about the conversations about the role of service providers in Steering Comm last year. May want to readdress this issue before election to Steering.
- Good opportunity to learn about how this group works.
Michele and Jyrki are available for consultation. | Jyrki |
