- Welcome and introductions
- Changes to agenda
- Charter
- Is the overall description acceptable?
- Is the timeframe for the deliverables realistic?
- February 28th 2019: Recommendations, including suggested texts, for an approach to 2019's fundraising amongst Samvera Partners and Supporters, complementary to a wider fundraising effort. If practicable, an interim, or draft, report by January 23rd would be helpful for consideration at the Samvera Steering Group Winter Retreat.
- March 31st, 2019: Report on the desirability of Sponsorship for Samvera Connect and, if appropriate, practical approaches to attracting it (the timing is in order to inform the Connect 2019 planning process)
- Partner meeting April 2019: Interim report for feedback outlining the likely recommendations for a wide fundraising effort
- June 30, 2019: Final, integrated report combining all the above into an annual cycle.
- Membership: Given our brief, are there any other individuals we feel it would be useful to ask to join us?
- Immediate tasks
- Date of next call
- What day(s) are best for people?
- Dates for the next two or three calls?
- FYI: Richard is away 11-19 December but probably he or Jon should be part of the next call having experience of Partner fundraising over the last few years?
NOTES (Ryan):
-whatever goes out in the fundraising call - compatible with broader fundraising effort, wording in emails doesn't cross work of others
-there is a newly minted contribution WG and a marketing WG
-need to have something in place by February as DuraSpace starts their outreach
-by End of January - Steering is the 24th or 25th - doesn't need to be a formal report (can possibly just tell them where we're at)
-March 31 - actively seek sponsorship for Connect conferences - challenge of who is trying to sponsor
Partner meeting in April - have most of the work done and ready to recommend as a draft document
Do we want rolling feedback? Sufficient to put out a summary email after each call? Invite comment. May want to work toward interim and take comment in one go.
We need to be bringing in $500K/ annually - to pay for expenses
DLF October 13th-17th, so Connect will likely not be in October
Is there anyone else we could possibly bring in? - anyone with fundraising experience?
SCOPE of January info and what we'll report back on -
