Re: Great Community Engagement Reader

The issue stated by Paola is not only applicable to this W3 AIKR CG, but to virtually any peer network. community forum or federated network, whether grass roots, civil society, professional, corporate, academic or otherwise.
Work and information overload and consequently prioritization of available time make community engagement a challenge.
I second the idea proposed by Owen.
I have in the past suggested numerous ideas, and will for my own and the CG's benefit revisit all my posts and try to condense these into a format compatible with Owen's suggestion.
And boil it down to main issues, priority themes and key objectives and try to translate these into deliverables.

 Paola, when you're ready to share your proposal, I'll look forward to learning if it lends itself to rendition as a performance plan in StratML Part 2 format.
In the meantime, your message prompted me to convert to StratML Part 1 format the about statements for CSCCE & Community Initiatives at https://stratml.us/drybridge/index.htm#CI4
As far as the challenge of engagement is concerned, it seems to me what's needed is pretty clear and relatively simple -- online tools that make it easy for users to contribute to the realization of objectives of particular interest to them:

For those who care enough, the first step is to clarify and share their objectives in an open, machine-readable format.
The second is to develop services making it relatively easy for users to share and discover objectives of special interest to them.
And the third step is to provide services enabling users to contribute to the realization of common and complementary objectives as best their time, resources, and expertise allow.

If those steps are well executed, the results (or lack thereof) will speak efficiently and effectively for themselves.  Otherwise we can just keep writing scholarly articles and exchanging messages like this. 
BTW, CSCCE's guidebook could also be rendered as a model performance plan for community managers but I am not yet sufficienty motivated to do that for them.

 Greetings folks
This CG has over seventy members, but low member engagement. It would be great if someone would take up the challenge to engage the community base

I ll be sharing a proposal soon - waiting for the scholarly publication currently with the publisher before sharing the gist of what I have been working on - but obviously everyone is welcome to come up with suggestions and plans on how to take things forward.
