Welcome to the CNVC Board section of NVCwiki. The goal of this area is to enable CNVC Board members and others they might select, to edit official documents. It is our hope that two needs may be met in this way. First, the CNVC Board will be able to collaborate on the creation of official documents by using this wiki interface. Second, anyone interested in better understanding CNVC decisions will be able to watch the documents evolve and add their own comments and suggestions in the Public Comment areas. CNVC Board and [[CNVC LT]] sections of this wiki until recently were combined due to extensive overlap, but are now maintained separately.

===Discussion===
 
What input does the Board have around having an agreed draft for a budget for 2007 and 2008 by the next Board Meeting (to be organized by Margo)?
 
:Needs: Clarity, accountability, planning
 
:*The group agreed that a clearly defined budget would be helpful and necessary for the organization, and expressed relief/gratitude that someone is willing to organize this development.
 
:*Request was made for mini-strategic plans (goals, timelines, aim, resources, etc.) to be included in the formation of this budget.
 
====Action Item:====
 
Margo will make a call out to LT teams for budget input (on current strategic initiatives and resources), and provide a report for the Board in the next meeting. 
 
  
===Decision:===
 
Margo will serve the Board as Secretary for an interim period of 4 months (with the intent to add more Board Members and to re-visit descriptions of roles in the near future). 
 
:Needs: Clarity, effectiveness, diversity.
 
:Secretary Responsibilities include:
 
:*Ensure that meeting minutes are kept and distributed to the entire organization.
 
:*Track member attendance and terms of the Board and Officers.
 
:*Give all notices required by the by-laws.
 
:*Maintain custody of the corporate records and the seal of the corporation.
 
:*Maintain familiarity with legal documents (articles, by-laws, IRS letters, etc) to note applicability during meetings.
 
:*Maintain a written record of current Board Policies.
 
:*Keep a register of the post office and email addresses of each member.
 
  
===Discussion:===
 
Organizational Review Committee Report
 
:Needs: Information, discussion, clarity.

:*A committee meeting was scheduled for July 26, 2007 at 9:00am PST (for 2 hours) to discuss organizational review and how the committee wants to adjust the way things are done (What are the next steps are for the committee?).  This committee meeting will also address John Wiley’s proposal for a specific Organizational structure.
 
====Action Item:====
 
John Buck will create and distribute a table for decisions according to the type of decision that was made (ex: HR decisions, managerial decisions, etc.)
 
  
===Discussion:===
 
How would we like to see Board Members added in the future? (added to agenda during discussion about Secretary election)
 
:Needs: Clarity
 
:*In the past, Board Members would make a list of suggested people to be added to the Board.  A person would contact these people to find out what skills they had to get clarity about how he/she might contribute to the Board.  Then, nominations would be brought to the group for elections.
 
:*Board Members could be added sociocratically, according to the formation of regional and other kinds of circles.
 
:*The group would like nominees to be invited to Board meetings.
 
:*The Board would like new Board Members to represent different regional areas in time zones that are compatible for Board meetings.  Wanting more diversity in agenda and culture.  Ability to attend face-to-face meetings.
 
:*Short-term: the Board would like to find someone with skills and willingness to serve as Board Secretary.
 
====Action Item:====
 
All Board Members will send nominations for future Board Members (people with diversity in culture and agenda, time zone compatibility, ability to attend face-to-face meetings, with skills/willingness to take on roles like Secretary) to Margo within one week, to be circulated for consent (to approach them about becoming a Board Member).

OR by clicking this link: http://cnvc.org/en/about-us/governance/board-directors/cnvc-board-minutes/cnvc-board-meeting-agreements

We have removed the call-in information that used to be below, to avoid confusion and misleading info if/when these numbers change.

. . . . . . . .

Welcome to the CNVC Board section of NVCwiki. The goal of this area is to enable CNVC Board members and others they might select, to edit official documents. It is our hope that two needs may be met in this way. First, the CNVC Board will be able to collaborate on the creation of official documents by using this wiki interface. Second, anyone interested in better understanding CNVC decisions will be able to watch the documents evolve and add their own comments and suggestions in the Public Comment areas. CNVC Board and CNVC LT sections of this wiki until recently were combined due to extensive overlap, but are now maintained separately.

Note: This section is now distinct from the CNVC LT and CNVC GCC sections.
Tip: Click on "Recent changes" in the left column, or "history" above, to quickly see what's new or modified.
