Council Meetings

Can't wait to see what it's going to be like!

Yikes.  Too early for me.  Otherwise: I'd at least visit out of curiosity.

11:30??? That’s 8:30 am for me...  well looks I won’t be attending this one smh 

What time zone? I imagine close to EST TZ correct?

Keep in mind that 3 out of the 7 current Council members are European, that's why the time is what it is. This is also something to keep in mind for anyone applying for CR. 

Thank you Nick for this! I’m going to be sure to check it out. Loving the new wave of transparency from GFL. Exciting news for future projects/prospects/partnerships!

horrific

While I was more involved I was a US citizen studying in the UK so balancing these naturally worked out for me because I'd be more interested being online during odd hours to talk to friends and family, but normal hours for me were aligned with EU; I was not sleeping well because I'm an engineering student  I would say on a typical day I sleep 4-5 hours, and no, it's not okay for me and I'm frequently tired.

Do you guys have plans on how to minimize this natural exclusion?  It's certainly at no fault of your own, but it is a problem.  I think this will be straining on Community Representatives you have suggested it's something for them to think about, and I certainly wouldn't want to worry or care about at it all if I were applying for a temporary role that threw me into possibly nasty political scene.

Will it simply be posting notes?  Maybe not just notes, but forward the topics into threads and leave a window of opportunity for people who missed the live event to say something.

Something else that's concerning to me is that it feels a lot like this structure is very focused on making decisions; it feels like it's missing that real community aspect of it where people are actually working on something or doing something.  Is it more important that you have the person that says "Yes, let's have weekly game nights on Discord" or do you prefer the "I'll host weekly game nights on Discord".  I feel like this decision focus is more interested in the first person rather than the second person, but if there's no second person to host the events, then the decisions mean nothing.

Wowwww. It only makes sense if majority of the applicants were from another timezone 😆 But hopefully it goes through to that meeting. I do sleep late but still wowwwww.

Yikes, idk if I can make it. That’s 3 minutes before a really important appointment .

ill see what I can do.

I'm glad to hear that us (non staff) members are able to attend this meeting. Although we don't have a say in what goes on in these meetings I feel its important for us (admins at least) to keep updated in the ongoing in the GFL Clan as far certain topics. Hopefully there will be more of these meetings in the future with times that work around all of our schedules. See you on the 6th.

Do you guys post the notes or summary anywhere?

The agenda of every meeting contains the summary for all points that are covered. 

What about the results?

edit:

Ah, I see.  Have to dig a bit for it (yesterday's).  I would recommend a thread that's easy to get to so people don't have to look.  You'll be much more effective in communicating with the community.

Yeah, we link it for everyone to see in the main Discord when the meeting starts. Though I suppose people that couldn't attend would have difficulty in finding it.  I've went ahead and made a thread and posted the two we've had thus far, we'll update that going forward.
