In my last act as THATCamp Council Chair, I’m posting a draft agenda here for the next THATCamp Council meeting, which is scheduled for 3pm EST on Monday, June 16th.

* Who should respond to journalistic queries about THATCamp? Do we have a communications strategy?
* Update on new help document on funding begun at last meeting
* Update on Code of Conduct

Other business?

The first THATCamp Council meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, 4/22 at 1pm Eastern time. In my experience, Skype is the most reliable Internet tool for holding such meetings, so I chose that over Google Hangouts or another tool. I then realized, however, that Skype calls aren’t “open” in the sense that people can listen in. If you’re interested in listening in, let me know, and I’ll figure out another means of meeting. We will definitely post notes afterward, at least.

Please do also post here anything you’d like the Council to discuss, and (as Chair pro tem) I’ll add your issue to the agenda. Here’s a draft of said agenda:

• General introduction by Amanda
• Going over the logistics of the Council
• Picking a Chair (to assume chairship after this meeting)
• Allocating responsibilities (forum moderation, Twitter account, etc.)
• Agreeing on how often to meet
• Making revisions to the Charter (adding a method to remove a Chair, removing the section on first election procedures, clarifying “openness” of meetings, clarifying policies on recording meetings and posting recordings)
• Discussing whether to delete the THATCamp Google Map and the THATCamp Google Calendar
• Adopting an anti-harassment policy
• Scheduling next meeting
