[wplug-board] request for new committee and mailing list

Hello,
During the meetings of November and December there has been alot
of interest from the attendees to help run meetings. The fruits
of these efforts are already evident. Non board members are stepping
up to be meeting co-hosts. Name tags are available for anyone who
asks.
Meeting quality is definitely improving since I'm motivated to delegate
the responsibilities of running the meetings to willing and capable people.
Lots of great ideas as to how to run meetings to better serve the public
are coming from these attendees. Without their help, meetings would
certainly suffer since I can't run the show alone.
Unfortunately the -plan list is not a good method of recruiting volunteers
to help run meetings for the following reasons.
1. There have been claims from multiple people that they attempted to
subscribe to -plan only to have their request rejected. These people
want to help run meetings and want to volunteer to speak at meetings
but that's hard to do if they aren't allowed to communicate. (Please
see attached forward below. This person has pledged to me to donate
krispy kreme donuts for all meetings that he will attend)
2. Very few folks on the -plan list is interested in attending meetings,
let alone helping out at meetings.
3. In my opinion the -plan list has become a suggestion box and a way
to make announcements regarding business matters. It is not necessarily
for suggestions and announcements regarding meetings. ie... if the
web group wanted to look for beta testers for a new area of the website
4. It may be intimidating for an attendee to announce to the -plan
a simple act of volunteering for something for one meeting only.
ie ... "Hey I'm bringing donuts this Saturday"
It's quite difficult for me to get attendees who just show up that day
to make suggestions regarding meetings and do the work of running the
meeting. They don't feel that the board would welcome meeting volunteers
since all that is WPLUG would be subject to the boards approval.
Since the majority of the board is more interested in the virtual
presence aspects of WPLUG (IRC, WWW, mailing list) and less interested
in the physical presence aspects (ie meetings), it may be time for
change. We need to put the ability to make decisions regarding
meetings back into the hands of those who attend meetings and want to
do the work.
I propose that we have a meetings committee. It would be formed of
a GUM chair, an installfest chair, a tutorial chair, and a special
events chair (if needed). Also those who want to help with the
logistics of making meetings happen would also be members of this
committee. Board members and non board members would be welcome to
participate. We would need a mailing list for this committee. Those
who are willing to actually do the work get to have a say but everyone
else can listen. This is the only way I can think of to allow those
who want to do the work to actually get stuff done without the fear
of stepping on the board's toes.
I do believe it's time to let the next generation step up to the
challenge of running meetings. It truly isn't fair to those who
attend meetings for meetings to be run only by the direction of
the board when there's no expectation whatsoever for board members
to actually go to meetings.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not proposing that the board disband. It is
my opinion that the board sees meetings as a burden and having a
meetings committee would simply allow meetings to continue to happen
without the board having the obligation to run the show. Hopefully
this will allow the board to have the time to focus on the projects
that benefit WPLUG that each individual wants work on.
In the sort term the board could add new board members who were
gun-ho about meetings, however interests change. In order to secure
the future of meeting success is to form a committee of those who
are interested in meetings so that people can come an go but meetings
will continue to be run by people who are willing to do the work.
I'm sorry to rant on like this but I feel I needed to fully defend
the reasons for such a change.
If you have questions, please ask before voting.
Just to document exactly what is proposed here...
#1 A meetings committee shall be formed. It will comprise of a GUM chair,
Installfest chair, Tutorial chair, and a Special Events chair. It will
also have other committee members who are interested in helping run
meetings. Decisions pertaining to meetings will be made by the
corresponding chairs with the advice from the rest of the meetings
committee. Only those who do the work will have a say. Everyone else
can just listen.
#2 Upon the approval of a meetings committee, a mailing list will be
formed to facilitate communications.
I vote Yea to both proposals.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

Hello,
First of all I wanted you to know that your help is appreciated very
much.
I'm not sure what list you attempted to subscribe to, was it
-plan? If so, you aren't the first person to have this complaint.
Unfortunately I do not control the mailing lists, however I will
contact those who do and get back to you shortly.
Thanks alot,
Beth Lynn
