Hi Everyone, The 3rd Meeting of the WikiEducator Council has adjourned.
It has been a lively meeting with a full agenda. On behalf of the WikiEducator family, I would like to extend our sincere thanks to Council members for their gift of knowledge and time. Together we achieve more than working alone. WE are pioneers in the evolution of open governance models with a healthy dose of radical transparency. Our meetings demonstrate a level of transparency, which to the best of my knowledge, have not been implemented elsewhere. It takes courage to cast votes openly in a wiki environment for our Community to observe while the meeting is in progress combined with the fact that comments, interactions and votes are recorded in perpetuity on the Internet. I express my personal thanks and gratitude to our Council team for their commitment in making OER futures happen. In the near future, we will conduct an informal and open debriefing of the meeting to explore what works and where we can improve on our processes. I include a summary of the meeting outcomes below. Cheers Wayne *Summary of the meeting outcomes Motions approved * - Approval of minutes - Approval of the agenda - Amendments to the WikiEducator Open Community Governance Policy - Advice and recommendations on WikiEducator's privacy policy -- Workgroup to be convened - Determining procedures for nominating nominated members -- Workgroup to be convened - Motion to adjourn the meeting *Not approved * - Decision to establish a WCC Executive Committee *Failed for lack of second * - Guidelines for ancillary web services *Unresolved * - Guidelines for embedding links to 3rd party media *Follow up actions* - Developing a "code of conduct" - Developing a "Code of Conduct / Guidelines" for fair use and fair dealing in WikEducator *Resignations* *from Council* Leigh Blackall, Peter Rawsthorne and Nellie Deutsch.
