Future BoST – Call For Future ‘Board of Stewardship’ 2016/2017

[image] Hi @BoST & Future BoST In the last two Calls of the Board Of Stewardship we were discussing the future board. We need to invite the next one and to make some changes as well. So here is the call. Being on the Board We agreed that to be on the board you should: Assure a minimum of time for the OSCEdays – at at least 2 hours per week next to the time invested in the general BoST calls every 2 weeks. Announce a domain she or he wants to work in – like communication, communit…

2 Flagship projects

Gien’s proposal - to follow-up at the next meeting or online
Others: Sam is working on the animation project
OSCEDays 2016 summary = work in progress

3 DIF Collaboration

Waiting for Sam’s proposal.
Feel free to add your proposals.

Request from Joe Iles: we’d like to get some basic information on the website before mid-September, so people can get excited about an OSCE-DIF collaboration!

Silvia did answer Joe’s request for basic info and we are on the schedule. Here is the start.

NOTES

People on the call: Gien, Johnny, Julia, Lars, Silvia

---

HOW ARE YOU?
Silvia: Working on documentation of OSCE Days 2016
Johnny: Relaxing more
Julia: Relaxing and still documenting #circulartextiles challenges
Lars: Preparing for meeting with Veolia
Gien: Working on housing project

ELECTION OF NEW BOST UPDATE
Gien: Also continuing work
Lars: Your tactics for onboarding?.. Mine: When meeting/ reading about a suitable (interested, motivated) person, asking them.
Johnny: Maybe skill- focused approach better?
Lars: Yes, also a good idea.
Silvia: People staying on board will be revealed after summer vacation

FLAGSHIP PROJECTS
Gien: Circular house project: Can I use platform in between events to advertise project, find participants & document?
All: That is what the platform is for
Gien: Existing infrastructure on platform is enough, no need for setting up anything new. Planning on using platform as a depository for solutions
Silvia: Inspo: solardecathlon.gov

Johnny: How to encourage more participation on forum? By offering solutions to peoples questions/ needs

Julia: Wasn’t the information depository role of the forum part of a past discussion and we said we don’t want to do that?
Johnny: We don’t just “collect”, we connect information, analyze it, then communicate it.
Lars: There is a difference between the time during the event(s) where people are encouraged to be more hands-on and the time slots between them.
Johnny: We need to enable local communities to develop in the desired direction and for that we can provide info and tools

Lars: Has a new idea for future of OSCE, will post it within next days: “Recipes” for actual local action for generating tangible outcomes.
Johnny: Action-based approach, cool
Lars: Like a board game, people know the rules, how they can contribute

Lars: Lot of projects worldwide that either weren’t OS or CE. Better structure helps
Gien: A good project for this could deal with e- waste and the recovery of parts of it
Lars: I think this is David Li’s idea, too.

Silvia: Has a lot of work to tackle with the documentation. Volunteers to help?

DIF COLLABORATION
Silvia: Had to confirm that we participate. More proposals are needed. We can also use our physical meeting in October to discuss further
Johnny: We all write our proposals then compare them?
Lars: We need to come up with some concepts and discuss them in two weeks. Then recipe inclusion at this point and also discussion during physical meeting?
Silvia: Let’s all write up our concepts.

[Silvia]

Should we open a separate topic for DIF Collaboration under Challenges? I think so. If you all agree, maybe Lars can create it. Thank you.

@Silvia did it

OSCEdays & DIF 2016 Collaboration - Ideas

To @BoST & community As you can read in the documentation of the past BoST Calls (18-21) we got asked by the Ellen Mac Arthur Foundation to actively contribute to their DIF Festival. @Silvia followed up with the emails and the partnership is already announced on the DIF website. The next step for us is to send in a concept that also includes a budget. We said we are going to collect ideas, agree on them in the next BoST Call (22) and send something over. Please share your ideas if you have som…
