Burning Question

Question: What is the next step in the process of improving the Vendor Advisory Committee? This process began by addressing what the group saw as it's purpose, with a goal of adjusting the agenda and format of the meeting to best fulfill that vision. We have now discussed our highest value activities and the possibility that some of these activities will take place during the regular meeting, some will take place in separate subcommittees which will report back, and some take place here. Please add your feedback in the comments section, below.

So, to get to next steps there seem to me to be a few other questions that might inform the answer to the main one.

Do you feel that the activities we discussed at our tables are well enough defined to implement? If so, what would those activities look like during a meeting, if not, how would you propose to define them better?
What do you think would make sense as a reason for a given activity to take place during the regular meeting, in a subcommittee or here?
Can you think of goals or objectives we could establish to monitor progress on these activities?


Note: This post is being chemically altered to remain at the top of the page until one week before the next VAC meeting. There may be newer material beneath.


Also note: I will list the actual activities we discussed as soon as I get the list.

I think we need to have most of the work done in subcommittees who report back to the main. It seems that the areas of highest priority should be the names of the committees, perhaps Joe you can give us the highest ranking items again.
We can try to define them a little better, but eventually they need to go to subcommittee status.

Been thinking about this again. I think we need to get other perspectives on the core activities from the world cafe process last meeting. Perhaps we could put the papers back up next time and have people add or take a few sessions to get all of the feedback for the core activities in the world cafe style. Because I am more of a visual person, I put all the sub-statements together and there are several that are related and could be done in conjunction. I ended up with about 6 major activities. If I have time, I will put something up later.
