Hi all,
Here are thoughts from a one-year-old chair .
First
Thank you for setting up that. The session organized with Chaals during TPAC was really helpful. And helped me a lot as chair. Formalizing that is a great idea.
About the F2F training
I would recommend the session in F2F to be 2 hours, under the role game format (new chair chairing the session to experience tools) focusing on the high priority difficulties of chairs . In priority order, I would say (once you convinced yourself that you could do it and that you will be a very good a positive chair):
- Understand what is at stake behind the process,
- creation of a good and synched team (staff/editors/chair),
- having right people in the WG,
- making decision and getting consensus
About the tools training
The tool training for appropriate minutes/action/issue/process... are mechanics that you may train during dedicated confcalls for chairs.
To make things easier, why not having 3 sessions for the 3 timezone every semester to make sure all chairs go through it and have a chance to learn or finetune their practice ?
#tuesdayconfession
I do use the hotline once a month, and have a free subscription with Robin and/or Dom and it is really helpful ! :)
I will come back later to complete the items I believe could be part of learning chairing cycle.
Regards,
Virginie
