framework for working


These are just examples of how the workload could be distributed which was discussed today.This would work well if there was a representative from each grouping, which would be rotated (weekly/monthly) in order to distribute work load. Or perhaps even delegate scribes to make notes. etc. The option to go to meetings will always be open for all year members, regardless to any current role they might have.

I think that using words like 'leader' and 'dictator' may be funny in some respects, but they also have unhelpful and un-neutral connotations- however it is really important for us to manage this project more efficiently, in a democratic fashion. In order to do that we need to have more meetings with all the student bodies ( or the majority if not all) present. Today was a good example of how this worked in collaberating our ideas- but there was also an overload of information, and not much resolution. it was all a bit vague. i think we need a criteria- of things we need to assess etc.we need a timetable/ with deadlines- if for a lot of us, we want this show to be a 'sucess'.

I think we should orginize a meeting for asap somewhere perhaps OMB lecture theatre as its the easiest way of hearing everyones ideas. To keep it calm/ordered we should nominate a few people, someone making notes others speaking - we could have different people being incharge each time perhaps.

I agree we need to be less vague in time for Xmas. The groups are roughly divided by the loose groups Simon organised but better to do by task choice. Ultimately a list of tasks that is matched one on one to people is the best way forward for now.
ie Deadline: 1 weeks time everybody has to make 5-10 Xmas cards each. (one a day!) Choose a 'buddy' to nag you.
1 weeks time everybody has to make one phone call that might get a sponsor or donation.
