BLOG Post Writing Guidelines

Judith Fleenorshared the new BLOG Post writing guidance that is available in the Education and Resources section of the Wiki here.

The Communications Committee is suggesting that with each deliverable that is sent to the Steering Committee for approval, a BLOG Post should be sent to the Communications Committee for word-smithing, approval, and posting.

For previously approved deliverables that haven’t yet had a BLOG posted yet, please encourage the authors or others in the Working Group to submit a BLOG post draft to the Communications Committee.

Developing Topic from Working Group Lead for discussion

Judith Fleenor opened a discussion based on an email that Scott Perry sent based on an email from the Yomo TF.   Two points to start the discussion are:

• While parties are bringing governance framework development needs to our attention, there lacks a fundamental strategy to operationalize and sustain it when it is built.
  
  
• There is a mis-expectation of parties seeking assistance from ToIP that they can sit back and we will build their governance framework (and now run their governing authority) for free.

After a robust discussion, it was decided that these issues should be discussed in the Working Group level, and the brought to the SC when and if they needed guidance or have a proposal.   (Listen to recording, until discussion points can be added to the Wiki.)

Steering Committee Members suggestions for Members Experience

Judith Fleenor presented a list of Member Engagement suggestions that where sent to the Steering Committee by sankarshan

• Getting an account on the Wiki
• Zoom Recordings Automatically post to the Slack Channel
• Using Mailing List or GitHub issue for more conversations for longer retention
• Checking in with New Members at 60 day anniversary
• Globalization of the contents
  We can select a few from a criteria (say, membership cluster at this current moment in time) and determine where this investment would make most sense.
• Quarterly newsletter 
• More Twitter
  Encourage members to tweet @ ? 
• Volunteers for wiki gardening

Judith Fleenor asked for what were the highest priorities for people.  The response were top three priorities:

• Zoom Recordings Automatically post to the Slack Channel
• Quarterly newsletter 
• Volunteers for wiki gardening

   (Listen to recording, until discussion points can be added to the Wiki.)

Creation of Criteria for Steering Committee Membership

Judith Fleenor suggested that t he Steering Committee should consider creating “criteria” for becoming a SC member.

Judith Fleenor  provided an example from another JDF Project.

   (Listen to recording, until discussion points can be added to the Wiki.)

Karl Kneisand Wenjing Chu volunteered to start working on creating a "criteria" for becoming a SC member.

Creation of a Process for Code of Conduct Violations

Judith Fleenorexplained that in JDF 5.0 Documents, page 3, item 15 there is a Code of Conduct.
The Project has adopted the terms of the Community Covenant 1.0, available at https://community- covenant.net/version/1/0/. and that it says "To report an issue or concern under this Code of Conduct, contact the Project Chairperson or the Joint Development Foundation General Manager."  Therefore, we should have a policy ready for what we do, if someone “Contacts the Project Chairperson”

   (Listen to recording, until discussion points can be added to the Wiki.)
