Hi all I'm now back in Australia (home of OSonOSinOZ - yippee!!!) and starting to think again of the more mundane things in life after the inspiration of Vancouver (thanks everyone).
I'd like your advice on the use or not of OST for a Steering Committee that I will soon have to chair. The Steering Committee will consist of about 15 - 20 members and will be responsible for the direction and conduct of a Coastal Action Plan for a part of the Victorian Coast where I live (Bells Beach). The group will meet when it needs to, usually for 2 - 3 hours, and in the initial stages will set direction for the consultants who will develop the Coastal Action Plan (this relates to management, conservation, development, surfing evnets, access etc) and later on sign-off on the plan as it's developed. The members of the Steering Committee (which will be drawn from existing Government and community organisations with a specific interest in the Coastal Action Plan) will expect a standard meeting procedure - agenda, minutes, business arising etc etc. I can see how OST can be used in the initial meeting to clarify the issues that need to be addressed in the Coastal Action Plan, but I'm less clear about how OST could be used in subsequent meetings. Does anyone have any experience or words of wisdom?
