###How is everybody?
- Lars2i has great news.
And a little less great news. 
- Qing makes progress with OSCEdays future
- Nikusha is in for 2018 with time to develop OSCEdays
- Silvia is spreading OSCEdays through workshops and lectures
- Seigo has meetings with Social Circular Economy maybe creating opportunities for OSCEdays too.
###2 Actions
-
Qing is presenting 2 options for legal forms for OSCEdays. (1) A charitable association or (2) a u.UG which is basically a Ltd. / She described the pros and cons of both forms and said, the Ltd. would be the better option in terms of funding opportunities. Qing, Lars & probably also Nikusha will meet in Berlin on Saturday to pre-discuss the options and come back to the rest of BoST with a simplification of the options.
-
Lars will email BoST members to ask for participation and invite them to the final strategy call this friday. Also to share the dates for the BoST calls for the coming 6 months. We decided to keep the 2 week call schedule. [Done]
-
Newsletter. Sharon will do it. If she can’t Silvia will pick it up. Once it’s done Lars will polish a bit on top and help Silvia to send it out.
###3 Strategic Framework Update
- The wrap up Session will happen this friday as agreed upon here. OSCEdays OUTCOMES & OUTPUTS – Strategic Framework Dev 2017 - #16 by seigorobinson
###4 Global projects
- See agenda
###5 Other
- We decided to run a global campaign for a global event again and picked new dates. The 2018 dates will be June 1 - June 11. So we extended the days. it is now two weekends and a full week in between.
##OSCEdays 2018: June 1.-11.
-
We discussed to set a topic for the global event. „The Circular City“ was an option that was liked by most. But we did not come to a decision here. Let’s pick up the discussion on a later date.
-
Should we add a Chat-Channel? It might be good for more - and also mobile - engagement. But we need to pick something that is open source. Telegram might be an option. But it is not spread that well and most ppl. will not install a new App. WhatsApp is well spread and it would be easy to get people into that channel. Also it is owned by Facebook and Silvia said we should not use anything that is owned by them and most agreed! We did not make a decision here. Let’s bring the question up again later.
