Council Meeting 2014-12-17

Hi Reps,

Here is the summary of our last Council Meeting. Sharing these to be
more transparent and make everyone aware about what we do as Council.
Feel free to read the summary and share your thoughts and ask questions.

Summary

  1. Council Meetings Moving to Weekly so we can address the increasing workload/activity. But also recognizing that if workload slows we can opt-out with minimum bi-weekly. No meetings over the holidays unless something needs immediate attention.
  2. Mentorship Training #2 will be scheduled this week for our second group of mentors. Also invitation will be sent to Mentors list to attend (if wanted for refresh). Decision: For those mentors who are inactive for a period of time, will be asked to attend a mentor training as a mandatory act of reactivation.
  3. Mentorship Structure Discussed our approach to mentorship as a standard , but challenges to that with available mentors. Discussion on recommendations based on specific regions . Basically Global Standard + Regional recommendations for Community Health. Ongoing discussion, no decisions.
  4. Vidyo Alternatives or Compliments. By this we mean - how do we ensure the best possible options for participation. For those not on vidyo can we have volunteers to share in etherpads and IRC? http://blog.humphd.org/video-killed-the-radio-star/ What’s a good mix of vidyo and audio? Emma to send a question about participation tools to Discourse.
  5. Inactive Reps - asking mentors to activate, or confirm inactivity of Reps
  6. Heads-up about Council AMA in future.
  7. Communicating changes in Mozilla - surfacing community questions on this topic, requesting better communication to avoid misunderstanding, assumptions etc .
