Orientations and other getting-the-term-started activities

All

Things are off to a good start, though June was overwhelming because of the fairly late notice about the new appointees.

Valerie, with help from Regina, is reworking the current Council orientation on the wiki to be a more general orientation that people could refer to at any point in their Council career

This year’s live orientation will have the usual components of introducing the sub-teams and tools, but also have some more active activities like a scavenger hunt/bookmarking exercise for people to locate relevant contacts and resources. Because it’s unlikely everyone can be there, it will be recorded.

Some suggestions related to Nominating Committee work and appointments:

• Recommend that incoming Chairs are notified at least a month ahead of the start of the new term.

• It would be ideal if the whole Nominating Committee timeline was moved up.

• Revisited the discussion about Vice Chairs participating in the Nominating Committee activities, either instead of or in addition to the Council chairs. This may require a Bylaws change. Christine will remind Gordon to bring this up with the Board.

• Add some more questions to the nominations form, such as “Would you be willing to serve on more than one sub-team?” and “Would you be interested in participating in testing/Testing sub-team?”

• Make sure relevant notes related to discussions about sub-team placements of new appointees be given to Council leadership
