- If we keep our current schedule there will be a steering and leadership meeting a month. And then add on the TF meetings. That seems like a lot to me personally. What to you think about changing the schedule?
- V - I am on leaders, steerers, and 2 TF meetings - it's a lot of meetings. But I think it's okay.
- J - we could try it and see. We could move
- Julia - I was going to suggest alternating the steering and leadership meetings monthly
- J - this is my first time on this group. Not sure what we tackle here yet.
- Julia - I feel kind of guilty asking people to do more. I want to be sensitive to burn out.
- Erin - what is the role of each meeting? Task force - getting work done. Steering - troubleshoot and focus task Forces. Leadership - report out, present proposals and vote. Could you reduce the Leadership meetings? Quarterly?
- Violeta - the Leaders were so active last year and we want to increase that. I don't think quarterly is enough for Leaders.
- Julia - Last year we were having the same meeting in Steerers and Leaders. We didn't know how to fit in Steering meetings and how to use those.
- Anna - what about having Leadership meeting every 2 months. I think every month is better but we have too many meetings. It will help us make the content more relevant.
- J - if Leaders were every 2 months and have a designated report in the middle from the Steering Group about task forces??
- A few people express interest in this idea.
- J - if we have proposals, the more time we have for people to review this information is better. The report is an opportunity to reach out and ask for feedback.
- Julia - last year we relied on Mike a lot for proposal. I realized that we're leaning too hard on him. We should be leaning on steering as a whole instead. It will make it easier for us to work around people's availability/ travel so we have stopgaps built-in as collectively responsible for this kind of work.
- Clarify - instead of Mike and Julia coming up with the Leadership group agenda and proposals it should come from this group instead.
