Review Action Items from last meeting (above)
Samvera Virtual Connect - thank you Heather and Alicia for presenting the CoC!
Review the Samvera Volunteer Structure draft document created by Hannah and Alicia - as it relates to the above
Review and discuss the Samvera Code of Conduct Response Outline [DRAFT] with Annalee Flower Horne
General agreement that this process is going well and the draft is shaping up well.
Mandatory reporting - varies widely. Could aadd some guidance but if you are mandatory reporter, best advice is to say to someone reporting something to you: “I am a mandatory reporter, so I cannot keep your report confidential. Do you want to keep talking to me about it?”
Once someone has recused themselves, they make no further decisions about the response.
Make sure you don’t have any single points of failure. For example, should always have someone available to admin in Slack (kick someone out if needed) if needed. Advice: make all responders/ helpers Slack admins
Definitions
Event = conference, meeting, etc. NOT a euphemism for “incident”
Incidents that happen on communication platforms have longevity, people go back to them. Need to jump on those and make sure the thread stops.
Ask new response team members to review their social media history to make sure they stand by what they have said in the past, and that there is nothing that would put them at risk as a response team member. CM will do a cursory review, but it is not their responsibility to do an exhaustive search.
Helpers training - need to understand the initial steps for responding. Make the connection to the response team.
train during onboarding. review before every event.
