[WEC-Coord] proposed agenda for our conference call on 1/21 2pm

[Jdamon at pdx.edu]

Hi Coordinating Committee,

Rob has sent around a proposed workplan for wrapping up the draft  
report this week which includes getting a "near final" draft to all of  
you in time for our conference call on Wednesday at 2pm. My  
understanding of the purpose of this week's call is to get the  
Coordinating Committee's feedback on the direction of the revised  
draft, work through any issues related to the draft that could guide  
the conversation of the full WEC on 1/29, develop review guidance for  
the full WEC to accompany the draft, develop an agenda for the full  
WEC meeting, and check-in regarding media contact. I propose the  
following agenda for our call:


I.   Status of draft (Rob and revision committee)

II.  Round Table feedback from CC regarding the direction of draft

III. Develop questions/guidance for the full WEC review to accompany the draft

IV.  Develop draft agenda for WEC meeting

V.   Media - Anything to discuss regarding the media prior to full WEC  
meeting?

For your consideration in developing the agenda for the full WEC  
meeting, I suggest we do a red/green/yellow/card temperature check at  
the beginning of the full WEC meeting to quickly see where the group  
is at and help us allocate time for the discussion. For example, a  
green card indicates support for the draft with positive comments to  
share (1 - 2 minutes each); a yellow card indicates some support for  
the draft with minor suggestions for changes and/or clarifying  
questions to ask,(5 - 10 minutes each); a red card means no support  
for the draft with major suggestions for changes and/or discussion  
needed to address concerns (15 -25 minutes each). My intent with this  
suggestion is to help us allocate realistic timeframes and focus the  
discussion on issues the group needs to work through while allowing  
some time for positive comments to strenghten areas of agreement.

Other full WEC agenda items include discussing the steps to finalize  
the report including the WEC's role/next meeting, and the report roll  
out. Seems like the WEC should put in place a committee for this and  
spend full WEC time giving some general direction to the committee  
including timeframe. Issues such as how the report is  
circulated(political/agency, media, public);other formats (pamphlet,  
CD, You Tube...); feedback loop with report circulation (how comments  
are received - blog? wiki? My Space page....)could all be addressed as  
part of a roll out plan that could be presented to the WEC at a  
subsequent meeting.

Looking forward to our conversation on Wednesday!  All the best,

Jamie
