Justin's proposed agenda and explanation:
Dear all,
i have updated the SC wiki page. It seems that there were a bunch of communication suggestions made at some point, i don't know if those were ever discussed. and i put the list that sara compiled into the suggested items section, i guess once we have a consensus on that, we can move the items we want to work on over to the current agenda items.
thus here is my proposal. but first of all, since i didn't hear a resounding yes on the skype meet, i guess nothing is happening, for the time being, right?
so, i put the different agenda items into categories:
1. would be good to talk about them soon
-producing quarterly report\\ - Starting Carfree Indy media\\ -Having special SC, ICC, AB meetings once or twice a year\\
2. all time issues
-SC member involvement with Network Projects\\ -WCN Fundraising\\ -Development of WCN Skill-Sharing on the internet (a, b,c)\\ -Strategic Plan\\ -Carbusters Magazine\\ -communication related suggestions (which was previously there)
3. needs a one time working through, perhaps less urgent
-SC member involvement with Network Projects\\ -Defining the role of the SC staff liaison
okay, you might have noticed that what i put into the category of more urgent two my own suggestions. now i don't mean to hog the agenda, but let me explain my thinking: 1) the carfree indymedia subject has had some problems getting started, and perhaps a little bit of discussion can get that going. it would then be nice if that could get started, and be developing further in the background. 2) strategical meeting with AB SC ICC, more important than the previous item, i would say, and urgent, because if we could get that to happen around the time of TCFC in istanbul, we should get organized with that now. 3) producing quarterly report probably won't require too much time spent)
some of the "all time issues" would be most effectively discussed in a situation like strat. meeting (as i envision it), but we could also choose to discuss one or several of those as a current sc item, based on what people feel is urgent.
but if someone wants to suggest a different organization of the categories, or would like to bump something up to more urgent, that is also fine. also, since susanna indicated that she is not really able to the facilitating right now very well, i could offer to facilitate for the moment, at least until we have a clear agenda, and now what we are doing, and can figure out who will do faciliating in the foreseeable future. but of course all this is open for discussion and agreement, so feel free to send in other ideas or disagree.

The discussion can begin at any time from March 1 on.

Proposal submitted by Todd Edelman, Green Idea Factory, a WCN member:
1 - SC create a mechanism to evaluate possible statements of support - nothing involving a financial contribution - of other groups and initiatives. This would have two parts:
- A normal one requiring 30 days review period by WCN member groups, but I dont know if you want it decided by consensus, etc (It should follow whatever majority vote mechanism you currently use)
- A fast-track one where the 30-day delay would make support irrelevant,etc. For local actions (in the Czech Republic, where WCN CZ is registered), this could be decided by ICC staff with stated supporter/endorser being either "WCN" or "WCN CZ".
1a - An annoucement of the evaluation period for normal mechanism would either be made in the regular email to members, or in special email. Details would be posted on WCN members-only Wiki pages
1b - Any discussion would be in WCN members-only Wiki pages. Probably in the proposed WCN member forum.
[''Randy 9-Dec-2005'']: It is necessary to make WCN a legal entity as an international organisation. So far only WCN Czech Republic is official. We need to become official at the European level and also at the global level. The reason for WCN Europe is primarily in order to access European funding. There are various ways this could occur. The most practical way is to officially start a new network called World Carfree Network Europe. As for the global level, we could check with the United Nations on how to become accredited (recognised) as an international organisation. Discussion needed.\\

[''Markus 15-Nov-2005'']:\\ I`d say, AB is needed for important questions of the network, but not for its daily work. I`d say, every member group can contact them, but I`d prefer the contact via ICC or SC. I don`t think, that they are happy if their contact info was spreaded widely (data security), so I`d propose to keep their contacts (only) at ICC and/or SC.\\

We decided: "If the Steering Committee loses a member, the Advisory Board will be notified and asked to decide if a replacement person is necessary. (Once the Steering Committee reaches six members, the Advisory Board must act to replace at least one Steering Committee member."
Randy, 31 Aug: I would propose that the first sentence be modified to "Also, if the Steering Committee loses a member for whatever reason, the Advisory Board will be notified and asked to select a replacement." ...and that the second sentence in parentheses be removed. This is because the statutes as written leave no option. The Steering Committee advises of interim vacancies and the Advisory Board appoints replacements. Any change in this probably should be handled as a change in the Statutes.

Previously we decided for our internal SC rules: "If the Steering Committee loses a member, the Advisory Board will be notified and asked to decide if a replacement person is necessary. (Once the Steering Committee reaches six members, the Advisory Board must act to replace at least one Steering Committee member."
On October 27 we changed this to: "Also, if the Steering Committee loses a member for whatever reason, the Advisory Board will be notified and asked to select a replacement."
Reason for change: The Statutes as written leave no option. The Steering Committee advises of interim vacancies and the Advisory Board appoints replacements. Any change in this probably should be handled as a change to the Statutes.

Randy 2005-07-27 "[carfree_network] List facilitator": I just wrote in my last message that Arie Farnam would be the new facilitator for this list. However, she's not attached to doing the job, and we just had our weekly office meeting and decided it might be better to have someone outside the International Coordination Centre as the facilitator. So if you would like to volunteer, please send an e-mail OFF-LIST to info@worldcarfree.net. We will ask the network's Steering Committee to make the final choice.

Sara Stout is now the list facilitator.

We would like to get the member organisations more active. We will start by asking each member organisation to choose a contact person (liaison) to the network, and in the future have them provide that when they join the network. We will also develop some kind of survey to find out what the member organisations want and how they want to participate.
to:
No decision necessary. Randy gave a report on his work to get each member organization to provide a liaison person for communication with the rest of the network. He is following up by getting announcements to those people, informing them of opportunities to get involved, sending a survey to them, etc. This will be ongoing.
