Notes
- ben:
- Michelle has seen the protocol labs proposal
- It’s been approx ~1 month
- udit: let’s determine outcome first
- ben: going into meeting each person should have a writing for some prompt
- dawn:
- strong draft (of what? mission?)
- statement of what being a good coop member looks like
- udit: two parts
- legal regulatory requirement
- internal requirements
- rob: who feels strongly about positions in the coop?
- feels more like reacting to existing opinions
- udit: we can draft an initial set of positions which we can revise when meeting
- dawn:
- proposal-driven efficiency is generally good
- hesitant to do this at the vision stage
- engaged collaboration is important
- ben:
- is it important that we do the draft on the day, or can we do more of this leading up to the date.. with a minimum of four people?
- dawn:
- people will be busy leading up to the date
- mission and governance may be things that we can draft effectively in an async manner
- not sure what the best methodology is, but it will need preparation
- ben:
- if we don’t use the weekend to draft things, what will that time be used for?
- expectation should be people going into the planning session have read the list and write answer to prompt
