Please Read and Reply Before Call Thurs: SOC norms!!

[caroline henderson]

Hey All!

Thanks to the lovely Anastasia for compiling these norms from the last call. Please read before our call this thursday 9pm EST AND reply to say "YES, I agree!) or if you have any additions, questions, comments, objections, to voice them :)

 

Conference Call Norms
- get on call 2 minutes before start time
- silence does not mean agreement -- say yes or no

   - be online for call if possible so you can look at google docs and follow along with notes

   -agenda should capture decisions to be made, and whatever follow-up is needed after call for each action item

- Facilitator sends out agenda for next call approx. 1 week before call, e-mail reminder 1-3 days before the call and also sends text to remind people to get on call.

-Notetaker sends notes and action items right after (max 24 hours) the call. Facilitator check in with folks on action items one week after call.

-Everyone with an action item respond to facilitator.

-Pick notetaker and timekeeper at the beginning of the call.

-If background is noise-mute your line

-In the middle of call, do a check in to see if we are behind etc...

yes i agree, this all sounds great!

[Jenny Bedell-Stiles]

These sounds great, I'm in complete agreement.  I would also add that if you are unable to make the call, to let the facilitator know.  And sadly, I am letting David et al know that I am unable to make this call, grrrrr.  So much for having staff support, eh?  Not that SOC really needs it.  :)  I've got another meeting that I need to be at.  Know that I'm missing you all and look forward to hearing your voices on the next call!
