ICT Meeting Agenda

Monday August 24, 2009

Location: Peace Corps - Bangkok

Proposed Order Of Discussion

1. Introductions
2. Personal Goals For ICT
• People can discuss any ideas or goals they have for themselves related to ICT, or having to do with the ICT GIG
3. ICT Liasons With Other GIGs
• How is that going? Is it working for people? Is it worth our time? Do we want to continue it? Do we want to change it?
• If we plan on continuing it, how are we going to redistribute responsibility to include the 2 new GIG members? This point of discussion can be saved until the end, when we discuss the general redistribution of GIG responsibility.
4. The Wiki
• How is the Wiki going? Do we need to promote it more?
• General Wiki Thoughts
5. The Listserv
• Are users happy with the listserv? Do we need to do anything to change it?
• Do we need to police it more?
  
6. Finding Out What Other Volunteers Are Doing At Site, ICT-related
• Do we want to do a survey? This was previously discussed, but decided against. Do we feel differently now?
• Beyond identifying current projects, do we want to go deeper and identify existing ICT resources for potential projects?
• If so, who wants to be in charge?
  
7. Building Online ICT Project Database-Resource
• Does it already exist? Where?
  
• Do we want to start putting together tutorials or "how-to" guides for potential or common ICT projects?
• Ideas for tutorials that would be useful or helpful?
• If so, who wants to be in charge?
8. Podcasting
• Video Podcasting?
  
9. Open ICT GIG Project Brainstorming
• Time to discuss and brainstorms things that we together as a GIG can work towards accomplishing
• If we come up with things, we should try and set specific goals and deadlines, a la PDM.
  
10. One 120 ICT Member Resigning To Make Opening For Third 121 ICT Member
• Do we want to reduce to two 120 ICT members from three so that ICT will have three full members when 120 COS's?
• If so, should we see what we can do about making it official policy?
• In the future, in the absence of a volunteer, how would a decision about who to release be made?
11. Passing Off GIG Responsibilities To New Members
• Not all responsibilites need to be passed now, but the sooner we pass "official" responsibility, the more change new members will have to learn from old member's experiences
• Roles include:
• Leader?
• Notetaker
• Wiki Webmaster
• Listserv Admin
12. Final Business?
• Anything that hasn't been done or discussed yet that we need to cover before the end of the meeting.
• Taking stock of everyone's responsibilities and commitments.
  
13. Soft Dates For Next Meeting
