This Group is no longer active and has been archived. |
Scope and objectives
This Group is chartered at the request of the Samvera Partners following their acceptance of the recommendations of the Samvera Governance Working Group.
...
From the Partner Meeting minutes (03/30/2018):
“In scope:
Define what a Partner in good standing means
Partnership cannot be defined by financial contribution levels.
Develop a mechanism for identifying, valuing, and monitoring in-kind contributions
Get information from partners
Make recommendations about fundraising
Interim report by Connect 2018, final by no later than March 1, 2019.
...
The tasks of the WG will therefore include looking at the current state of contributions from the Samvera Community, investigating and comparing the resourcing methods of comparable organizations, and proposing a way forward that reinforces the value proposition of Partnership but which also provides sufficient incentives for non-Partners in the community to make significant contributions.
Deliverables and timeframe
Report detailing recommendations in time for the Partner Meeting immediately prior to Samvera Connect 2018 (8th October). In the event that the timescale cannot reasonably be met an interim report will be delivered for that Partner Meeting with the full report delivered in time to enable implementation no later than March 2019. Acceptance and implementation of the report will require a ⅔ majority vote by Samvera Partners.
Meeting times and communication channels
The WG is now in abeyance whilst the draft report is circulated to Partners and discussed at the Partner Meeting in Salt Lake City 8 Oct 2018.
Members
In order to facilitate the tight working timelines necessary to achieve the target deadline, working group membership was limited to a small 6-8 person agile team which can collaborate efficiently to produce the deliverables in the desired timelines.
