6-4 A next international meeting?
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
We didn't plan anything since we believe we will be late. You might add other points to the discussion. We will have to do the cleaning too and other crazy things...
SAline have proposed :
- "I think it would be useful, if we add to presentation (point 2) a summing up of the (not/poor/successful) working of the network within different european regions. E.g. I could give a summing up of the situation within germany/ what s happening on the german-speaking mailing lists. etc. I guess not all regions that are still in the process will be present on the meeting- so maybe we could try in advance to gather information about this regions.
- I think it is not good to put all the points you put to 6 "international context"/ "Communication" at the end of the meeting and in a two hour time frame (point 6). I suggest to put the points "state of the network at the global level", "links developed" and "What is this network" instead to "Presentation" in the beginning (point 2). So all the participants of the meeting have a similar understanding of the base/ the network/ the way it works.
- In points 3 "Presentation of the Project of the Conference" and 4.3 there is no mention of the global level. Your concept isn t yet clear to me/ probably it includes the following suggestion: To link themes with the local issue should also work the other way around and the "in between:" Link the local with the regional and the global and the other way around...
- To the point "Invitation for the conference" it could be probably added, how to get more people involved for the preparation of the local infrastructure for the conference/ equipment that is needed gets collected in time etc.
Probably it would also be good to make a quick summing up of the (outcome of the) meeting in Belgrade: what was good/worked at the meeting/ what not, at the beginning (point 2).
