The meeting takes place twice a month:
It is possible to join remotly: https://bbb.cyber4edu.org/b/dan-stu-3a2-0bi
It is hosted by a Governance Curator and every member is welcome to participate.
In the beginning the host asks for a member to take minutes and a member to moderate the meeting.
Then we simply follow the agenda.
Any Round Table has an agenda. You can find all agendas, old ones and new ones, at:
Governance > Agendas & documents > Agendas
The current agendas are also in the calendar entries on our homepage.
We are using HedgeDoc pads for our agendas and you need to be logged in to have edit rights.
Feel free to add any topics to an agenda, but please follow these 3 basic rules:
A moderator is entitled to skip a topic, if these requirements are not met.
There's a deadline for adding a topic on Sunday night before the meeting. You can still add topics below the Sunday line, but the inclusion is up to the moderator.
## Title or productive question (type-of-entry, responsible-person, estimated-duration)
- description
- further information
If you are requesting a key to be able to open xHain's door, you have to add your request to the agenda, below xDoor-Key Requests.
You need three other key-holders to vouch for you and the request has to be made latest on Sunday before the meeting. Because key-holders can veto a key application.
TODO: List capabilities, rules, rights, expectation etc.
Only members can cast a vote but all participants are welcome to speak their mind. We ask you to follow these guidelines:
The Round Table is facilitated by a Governance Curator.*
Before the meeting the host prepares the location and remote setup.
During the meeting the host assists the moderator and note-taker or takes over these roles if need be.
It's in their authority to delegate a decision to the Vorstand.
After the meeting they lock the Agenda and shut down Lichtung.
If the number of participants exceeds 20, the host directs several participants to the lobby and sets up a remote connection.*
We encourage participants to step in as moderator, when they have visited a few Round Tables. We want to provide a chance for you to train your softskills and we are easy to please. You should try it at least once.
We are taking minutes in our meetings. They are below the agenda on the same pad, check out the latest ones.
Please fill in the names during introduction round. Copy the topic headlines and paste them above "ends:". Only take short notes of arguments made. More important are the results of each topic. Like a decision, a consensus or an agreement that was made. You might have to coordinate with the moderator, if the wording is important.
