Attendees: Theresa Regli, Bob Doyle, Laura Walker

Last week’s mgmt committee meeting was a discussion between myself and Bob Doyle (and briefly, Laura) about the KR section of the site. Now that I have a job that allows a lot more flexibility in my schedule I have been able to take some time to look at the KR section and have some ideas to make it more sustainable. Generally the themes of my discussion with Bob and Laura were:
* We need to make realistic commitments
* We need to “recharacterize” what makes sense to contribute to KR
* Best Practices creation should not be an attempt for us to establish industry standards – rather, it would make more sense for us to, say, link to everything that has been written about a given topic
* Need to think about intellectual property policy – many people will not contribute or publish a proprietary methodology, so would it make more sense to really make the KR section member-driven (bottom-up) rather than top down?
Recommendations:
* Keep newsletter as is
* Determine volunteer to own & update glossary
* Have an online forum in the KR section, rather than the email list (make the email list a summary of forum topics that people can click to get into). This would bring more traffic to the web site.
* Re-introduce best practices as a collection of links to expert opinions on BPs, and enable community commentary, input as part of the forum.
* Along the theme of “realistic commitments,” there is no commitment in this fifth bullet
Thoughts?
