GCC Name Change Proposal

I am noticing that to my knowledge the whole NVC network does not have a name. Does GCC only represent itself or is it intended to represent the whole? What name do you use for the whole network? How about the International Network for Compassionate Communication? That would be consistent with some of the US regional networks. (is there an ongoing debate between using Compassionate Communication vs Nonviolent Communication?) If the whole network had a name them you would not need to add anything to GCC. CNVC is the name of an organization. Its top circle is the Board of Directors (or BOD if we use initials). The GCC is a top circle. What is the name of the organization that it is a top circle of? -Jerry Koch-Gonzalez 6:30, 14 July 2006


Discussion of CNVC Board Area

Who? When?

It would be very useful to me - and i imagine to others - if the board members and the dates of future meetings were listed, on the CNVC Board page or somewhere else appropriate. John Wiley (or anyone who is part of the group editing these pages) would you be willing to add these? --John Abbe 19:09, 22 June 2006 (CEST)

The members are listed here, and I believe meeting info is currently posted to the FriendsOfNVC yahoo group a week or so before each month's conference call "meeting." I'm hoping that soon we'll be moving the yahoo groups to the new cnvc website now in development, and such a move would of course be announced there and probably also here on the wiki. -JW

Page names

I've noticed that you are using months without years, and in other ways very general names for some of the pages connected to the CNVC Board. This may become confusing as time goes by (imagine May or June next year, or a local group's board), and as there continue to be more groups using the wiki.

I appreciate your interest, and your suggestions because I'm hopeful that we can continue the trend toward increasing use of the wiki. At the same time, I notice some dislike for the long text strings in full dating. Also, I prefer editing manually with JavaScript off, so it would involve more typing. I like that wiki automatically dates changes, and am hopeful that might meet your needs for having things dated. Where I'm guessing a date could be helpful, I'm willing to insert a date manually like this: 6/26/06. Would that work well for you?

Here are some suggested name changes that might be clearer (you can change the name of any page by clicking on the "move" link at the top of any page):

Agenda Process -> CNVC Board Agenda Process

Board Policies -> CNVC Board Policies

Criteria For CEO Selection -> Criteria For CNVC CEO Selection

June Agenda -> CNVC Board June 2006 Meeting

Proposed May Agenda -> CNVC Board May 2006 Meeting

--John Abbe 07:18, 9 June 2006 (CEST)

I prefer short names for things, and would enjoy more clarity on what needs of yours would be met by using the longer names you suggest. Is it in case other pages someday link to these Board pages? My understanding is that right now only the Board section currently links to them, and that as our new cnvc.org website comes online we will at some point move this Board section to that site. Once there, I'm guessing we might edit and rearrange it.
Also, it looks likely that we'll soon be changing the name CNVC to something more indicative of the GCC process we've begun. Thus I'm reluctant to add the CNVC title as you've suggested.
In the hope that it might meet some of your needs, I've just moved the Board Meeting Agenda Process as you suggested, but without using CNVC.
I welcome further dialog with you about this. I deeply appreciate your many contributions to this site, to the upcoming Oakland conference, and to the global NVC community. -JW
