Addressing Topics from the Meeting with NVC Regional Leaders

Decision:

  • To meet needs a) for the international community to be heard, b) to increase inclusion in Board Decision Making, and c) to help more effectively disseminate Board concerns, questions and information out to the global population, the GCC (Global Community Circle) Representative to the Extended Leadership Team Forum will also be invited to sit on the Board.

Decision:

  • The conversation with the international community such as we had at this meeting will continue to be a practice at Face to Face Board meetings. In addition, at two regular teleconference meetings per year, there will be a three-hour Board meeting at which one hour will be dedicated to communicating with people representing NVC groups.

Action Item:

  • The Board’s decision to invite a representative from the GCC to sit on the board will be taken to the GCC for discussion. The GCC will propose the length of term.

Term: The term will start when the GCC representative is available to participate.

Topics To Consider For A Possible Global Strategic Plan

  • The Board started to outline the topics that it would like to invite NVC groups to provide input on, to start exploring an overall NVC Community Strategic Plan.
  • This material appears in the following document which has been forwarded to Board members: DRAFT v2gm NVC Community StratPlan Topics 20081115.doc
  • To avoid confusion, this material will be shared with the rest of the NVC Community when the Board comes to agreement on the list of topics.

Future Agenda Item:

  • Strategic Planning : Items from Saturday November 15th, 2008.
