IV. 2022 MEETING SCHEDULE
1st Thursdays at 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm seems to work for everyone, agreement from the
group to set this as the regular meeting schedule.
V. GROUP AGREEMENTS
Trish reviewed group agreements posed at the first meeting:
• Listen to understand; be open to learning and willing to embrace some
discomfort in order to learn
• Consider intent versus impact: take responsibility for what you say and do
Group was asked to take a few minutes to think about the following questions and
respond, the following is
What agreements do you want to create for this group?
• Respect everyone’s ideas, experiences, voices, diversity of perspectives , and
boundaries
• Listen to understand
• Include all voices and involve everyone, even when we don’t agree
• Assume best intentions
• Step up and step back – recognize when we need to step up and when we need
to step back
• Active participation and preparation
• Keep an open mind
• Use intentional language but also do not nitpick others language
• Understand Advisory Board role – revisit agreements, purpose, etc., agree to
look back
When we are in conflict, how do we manage it as a group?
• Manage in respectful manner – listening and pausing
• Try to not take things personally
• Use ‘I’ statements
• Address conflict sooner rather than later
• Actively bring all of the responses from first question to conflict management
When you are hurt or offended, what group norms do we want?
• Be ok with calling each other out respectfully – could be private chat or to the full
group letting the person the know
• Find ways to express ourselves when we’re hurt
• Allow time and space if needed (creating space for pause button)
• Recognize that people approach things differently
• Take ownership for mistakes
• Understand that might not be able to ‘fix it’
VI. INTRODUCTION TO BYLAWS CREATION / DECISION MAKING PROCESS
Trish reviewed the organizational structure and Executive Board majority rule decision
making process.
Group asked to think about how the Advisory Board wants to make decisions and how
recommendations are shared with the Executive Board. Trish shared three decision
making models:
• Consensus – builds in discussion and strives to reach agreement by all
• Majority rule – binary decision, less space to hear reasonable objections
• Consent principle – evolution of consensus and incorporates a range of tolerance
as middle ground, objections are bringing up blind spots, risks to
mission/organization
Models are a way of framing the conversation. What are people connecting with,
models or creating our own framework? Group resonating between consensus and
consent principle. Benefit of consent principle that involves discussion and everyone to
share thoughts.
Discussion around the challenge of narrowing in the beginning of this process,
recognition that we might want to revisit. Agreement from group to dig deeper into
consent and consensus models to use as a trial and revisit after a few months.
VII. UPDATES / ANNOUNCEMENTS
Minutes were included with the agenda as a draft, these will be included with each
agenda and group will be asked to review and approve each set of minutes.
VIII. CLOSING
Using the chat members were asked to share one thing th at went well and one thing
that felt challenging tonight.
