Hi Everyone, Our WikiEducator Open Community Council meeting has adjourned. On behalf of the WikiEducator family, I would like to extend my personal thanks to every Council member for their participation and commitment to open democratic process.

Meeting formerly adjourned on 23 September 2009, 00:00 UTC. ( http://tinyurl.com/lf9yxh) *Action items* The following action items have arisen from the meeting: 1. Establish a Community Workgroup to discuss and propose amendments to the Interim Open Community Governance Policy. The Chair shall issue an invitation to every Council member to join the Workgroup. This is a community Workgroup which is open to all members of the WikiEducator community to join. Kim Tucker has offered to convene this group, and announcements will be made on our relevant WikiEducator lists in the near future. We're very privileged to have the calibre of Kim's experience in free software and libre knowledge communities to guide this process. Co-conveners are welcome to offer their support in helping Kim with this task. 2. Convene a special meeting of Council to consider the approval of the proposed policy for WikiEducator Style guidelines <http://wikieducator.org/Workgroup:style_guidelines>before 23 November 2009. (An ambitious Council agenda did not allow enough time for this item to be tabled during the current sitting.) 3. Consult with members of Council to fix the date for the next general meeting taking into account requests from Council members to schedule the meeting sooner rather than later. The next meeting must convene, at the latest, before 6 months of the adjournment of this meeting. 4. Remaining agenda items not dealt with during this sitting must be fixed on the agenda as unfinished business for the next meeting of Council.
