Secretary's report

Correspondence report

Secretary's Agenda items: (sent by email 24th June) 1. Procedures proposed from Sunday face to face meeting on the 16th June 2019 clarification of where written up and process of implementation required. Secretary's comment: Resolutions and details of discussion points at the face to face needed to have a table of what and when implementation might be considered. A timeline post face to face could be in com.

(carry over to next meeting if possible the rest of the material below) Some aspects beginning to be addressed at :https://comm.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Meeting_agenda_and_minutes_templates

Comments to discuss at meeting - Steve: Looking over doc and noting the time that we have in a meeting, going over some of these items in the committee meeting allotted time could eat up most of the committee time on largely administrative matters. Historically we have been rather good at declaring any conflicts of interest that apply to certain decisions, recusing from voting from them. I think keeping the COI register on CommWiki up to date as our interests change should be done, but this should suffice. Question the need to have a formal agenda letter or disclaimer about agenda, its benefit seems unclear, however standard practice to send out agenda prior to meeting should be done. I would propose we re-adjust our meeting into three different main sections, roughly outlined as action items, decisions and discussion Historical example is here https://comm.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Meeting:Committee_(2015-03-22)/Minutes

2. Record and documentation of WOW, and WMAU conferences

Processes and publication Secretary's comment: Ideally note takers/recorders/documentation of the conferences could have set up a checklist of what was recorded or who had what as soon as possible after the event.

3. Post Conference correspondence to collaborators and participants

Processes and suggested format Secretary's comment: Ideally committee should have sent thank yous and appreciations within short time after events to documented participants. Suggestion: If there is not a letterhead template, that correspondence from WMAU in such situations would be better served by a WMAU letterhead

ACTION ITEM
Pru, Tom, Steve to setup letter of thanks and check with committee before sending to list of presenters and speakers - and others if necessary

4. Non email form of committee internal communication

Options and consideration for usage: Slack, Whatsapp, Telegram - or some other form than email. Secretary's comment: Email is failing us as a committee, and too much gets lost, unanswered or unacknowledged and makes for very poor communication.

5. Bangkok ESEAP/Chapter Thailand user group has become a Chapter

suggestion WMAU sends a formal congratulation to Thailand via reps Robert or Jeremy

ESEAP meeting in Bangkok June 28 to 30

suggestion that WMAU sends a formal support letter to the meeting via reps Robert or Jeremy
ACTION ITEM
Tom draft and check with committee - letterhead - com wiki template

Steve to find letterhead and sent to Tom and or com. https://comm.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/File:WMAU_letterhead.docx - uploaded to Comm by Steve
