[Emo-dir] WG Chairs materials review - and proposal

[Greg Wood <[e-mail]>]

Hi,

Following up on the action item from the last meeting (and just ahead of tomorrow’s meeting): 

I’ve reviewed the inventory Francesca and Tal assembled and the gaps they identified. This work was done in 2019, but the information is mostly current. A few suggestions about next steps:

- Review identified gaps and opportunities
Make a plan for those gaps that still need to be addressed, add some opportunities. For example, we’re finishing up a “how to” for virtual interim meetings, and a “how to moderate email lists” is next in the queue. There might be some other WG Chair related tasks that would benefit from a How-to.

- Consider split/organization/content of www.ietf.org/chairs and the WG chairs wiki
With the upcoming migration of wikis to a new platform, this is an opportune time for that. 

- Include other efforts (beyond webpage and wiki materials)
For example, the WG Chairs Training which underway might suggest other efforts (depending on evaluations, of course).

Here’s the proposal:

Taken together, these things above present an opportunity to engage the community in the new audience-oriented emodir effort. Asking for volunteers to provide input/guidance for improving/developing WG Chair resources would be helpful. Some of the ideas that come out of that group might be things the Secretariat and/or LLC staff execute on, or there may be some things that volunteers take on. (On this latter point, having a discussion about how the WG Chairs wiki will be maintained going forward would be good).

I’d be happy to discuss tomorrow.
