3. Role of the association
- international coordination, funding, accounting? Which roles will the association take on? Put on BoSt agenda for January
TASKS
- create a list of contact people for local teams (and keep it updated)
- keep the platform running and up-to-date
- support local teams in event organisation (open source guide to organizing circular events)
- provide information templates for local fundraising (business card, leaflet/ text modules)
- branding: who can use the label OSCE?
- calendar: document which projects are currently going on/are being planned and where
- keep an expert list for different countries (OSCE-abassadors) on specific topics and for OSCE in general, so they can represent OSCE and challenges for the circular future on conference/ media contacts etc. locally WITHOUT having to fly around the globe
OPEN QUESTIONS
- where do people share their documentation? Can we host them and provide infrastructure for it (Domain currently hosted by Indiehoster)? Or should they only share links to their own website (which might be outdates and broken soon, frustrating people who are looking for information)?
- How should we raise money for the technical infrastructure/ forum hosting? Local teams pay a free (sponsoring rate/ normal rate/ reduced rate)? Or sponsors (Which ones)?
- can we have international members of the association (non-EU)? Maike will ask her friend
