[Board] board f2f planning / prep

[Gert-Jan van der Weijden - Stichting OSGeo.nl]

Hi Jody and others, 

 

Actually I have had (informal) contact with 2 process facilitators, who might be willing to take this (paid) role.

Some instant remarks on this:

- do you need a facilitator just for the weekend or also for the preparations (to be honest, the f2f agenda so far seems to focus on practical issues, not on the agenda itself)

- is the goal of the f2f to define a OSGeo strategy for the next few years, or about "how to run an not-for-profit organisation". 

- or is it even -given Jeff's resigning- more about how to run a Board with different persons, cultures, ideas (which might require a more mediator-like facilitator)

 

Or just someone who takes the notes, makes sure the coffee is at the right temperature etc.

 

 

 

Kind regards, 

 

Gert-Jan

One interesting idea on the discuss list (from Gert-Jan) was inviting an external party to act as an "independant process facilitator". Given we have very few days and a lot to cover I would like to pursue this idea.

 

This is one of those things that is difficult to arrange from afar - do we have any contacts (say with the local OSGeo community) who would be in position to offer a recomendation?
