Define the role and operational model of Reps Peers in the context of the evolution of the program (RepsNext)

@ppapadeas can you update this one? Thanks! :)

[hmitsch]

Great to see this ticket. Are there any other Peers-related tickets around?

[hmitsch]

Can we add a tag "Peers" on this?

[nukeador]

We are using "Leadership" tag for all issues around leadership bucket in the program, including Council and Peers.

I updated the issue description to set the goal / success metric, and to give ourselves some defined tasks and deadlines to get this done. If they don't feel right, let me know.

More notes from the meeting:

• Review of what we discussed in Berlin. See images attached in this issue.
  Do we compare ourselves to a board, and operate within a similar structure to keep the council accountable? Or do we act more as a counseling body?
• How do we become more active without becoming a "second council", something with a low transaction cost?
• One possible role if to take on a mentoring role for council, 1-1, especially new council.

So more questions than answers at this stage, but we will follow up with:

• Setup document(s) for us to capture thoughts and decisions
• Another meeting

Folks, this is my github account.

We had a follow-up meeting on 06 JUN 2016: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dMMe_2slft2Rk690lOHjP5xdwYlsuajSo-AUW08s6bU/edit#

Next Steps:

• Transition ReMo Module Ownership from Pierros to Ioana
• Communicate council election dates
• Continue working on PeersNext

[hmitsch]

Not sure if this is the best place ... but I will do it anyway. Here are two document links:

@ioana-chiorean I am moving this to "in progess" in waffle, because that's what it actually is. Ok?

[ioana-chiorean]

I agree! 👍

[MichaelKohler]

Peers have a weekly meeting, top of their priority list.

[MichaelKohler]

@ioana-chiorean could you update this issue with an estimated timeline for this?

[hmitsch]

Not sure if a timeline makes sense here? Since this Wednesday's Peers weekly call we have a list of activities/goals for the second half of 2016. Maybe it makes sense to talk about those in a blog post or so?

@ioana-chiorean what do you think?

-Henrik

[ioana-chiorean]

Yes, that will be a good point!
Let's do this!

PS: Thanks @MichaelKohler for the ping here and @hmitsch for the proposal.

[nukeador]

What's the status here? Let's move under Blocked/Waiting if that its status.

[ioana-chiorean]

This was delayed as we focused on Elections and the transition part.
Can you pls assign me back? it seems I don't have anymore :|

[MichaelKohler]

@ioana-chiorean do you want to provide an update on where this stands right now? Is there anything we should be doing in Hawaii regarding this?

[hmitsch]

@MichaelKohler, we added line #7 ("Decision making process among Council, Program Manager, Peers, and Module Owner") to the Hawaii proposal sheet. Hope the session is going to be selected.

[MichaelKohler]

@hmitsch @ioana-chiorean since that session was really short in Hawaii, what are the next steps?

[hmitsch]

We discussed this topic in today's Peers call. It is hard to summarize our conclusion. Main idea: We will get together in about 10 days and brainstorm ways we propose to support the Reps Program as Peers.

Stay tuned.

[ioana-chiorean]

@MichaelKohler with all the changes that occurred we are still in discussions
We will try to update this as soon as we have some clear steps ( 1-2 weeks more)

[MichaelKohler]

@ioana-chiorean status update here?

[couci]

@ioana-chiorean Is this still ongoing? Please leave a comment or this will be closed in 24h

[MichaelKohler]

I think this can be closed, we will create a new issue with learnings from the last All Hands regarding expectations.
