Governance

Page history last edited by Janet Finlay 3 years, 2 months ago

What is your theme?

Governance -  facilitation, moderation, community ownership/management

 

What is the purpose, aim or objective that underlies or drives your theme? What is your agenda?

Facilitate Emerge as a hub for meeting of projects (see Purpose group). Assumption - no funding for face to face so therefore will be online community largely.

 

What are the key activities that are needed to further your agenda?

Identify model of sustainability: one of 5 possibilities:

  1. volunteer governance
  2. hand over to larger organisation
  3. business plan for funding
  4. subscription membership
  5. let it go

In the immediate term only the first and last seem possible/sensible (2-4 may be useful in future). Therefore suggest going for the first - possibly an experiment but a valuable one.

Link into events, purpose etc. Set up "governing" group of volunteers.

"Rules of engagement" - joining, syndicating in and out, linking to other communities

Review existing facilities, revise facilities (channels discussion)

 

Who can take these activities forward: organise, do, lead, help?

Meeting today - 5pm! Hopefully will identify specifics.

 

Who else and what other groups will you need to work with, here or elsewhere?

JISC, Emerge team, Oxford Brookes, membership, other communities, organisations (HEA, ALT etc)

 

What are the next steps/action points and by when?

Assuming 1. Need to identify roles needed and people to fill them.

Plan handover - contact existing members, inviting involvement in new community, the pragmatics of the handover (preservation of existing content, links, facilities)

Launch!
