TOPIC 7 - Open Space Discussions Elio
QUESTION 1:

  • Is there an established bridge between staff and volunteers for different contribution areas? Various contribution areas like Creative Design or Advocacy lack volunteer involvement, whereas other contribution areas like Reps are led by a great amount of volunteers. What can we do to allow volunteers be part of discussions in the contribution area they wish to help, not only where they’re welcome to.
  • ACTIONS:
  • Identify blockers for volunteer involvement.
  • Involve participation team to work on these blockers

QUESTION 1:

  • Should a non-mentor Rep be able to run for council?
  • ACTIONS:
  • Identify if this is something Reps support (apparently yes)
  • Identify a nomination process for Reps who are eligible to run for council (we should be careful to not limit this, while still not ending up with 50 reps candidating)
  • Reinitiate discussion on Discourse
  • Create a proposal SOP *
