4 Open Actions
- Video communication - sharing by all on social media, during upcoming events and posting on the main OSCEdays website (Gien with Lars’ help?)
Ricardo has finished the video, we are very grateful for all his work on it. Thanks to all who have contributed their ideas to it.
Maike will ask Lars to add it to the main website
We discussed the need to add other points of view to the definition of OSCE, besides the industrial production reflected in this first video animation
Qing will create a list of other point of view - deadline end of Nov
- Re-name OSCE using a simpler, better name and acronym - Qing
Silvia will ask Jaime at the beginning of September. I need confirmation if we are still pursuing this.
We need another name and acronym for the future OSCEdays events.
Silvia will ask Jaime if he can help.
- OSCE review (foundational document) - update by Maike and Qing
Once the association is registered, we will go back to the strategic plan agreed in Dec 2017 and work on incorporating it into the association’s objectives
5 Other - added during the call
-
Association related
- Maike will manage work on a website dedicated to the association to include a contact form and the structure diagram linking the forum, the main OSCEdays website to the association
- Need to figure out e-mail addresses for members or at least for BoST members -
Community building
- Berlin will start monthly meetings at the end of October, ideally timed with the Association’s launch
- Maike will lead the first one, but a group of 3 - 4 volunteers will take turns in organizing these meetings
- We would like to see other cities adopting this initiative -
Marketing
- Please use OSCEdays business cards when attending conferences to ensure our orgnaization is better known
