[NCUC Outreach] Outreach Meeting, Friday at 20:00 UTC

[Edward Morris]

Hello everybody,

I'm pleased to announce that we will be holding our first NCUC Outreach
Meeting this Friday March 29th at 20:00 UTC. You can find the time in your
time zone by going here:

For this initial meeting we'll be using Skype as our medium of
communication. I am currently connected with Bill and Olga on Skype. If
everyone else could submit a contact request to me at 'ejmorris' as soon as
convenient I'll be sure to accept and add you to the conversation a few
minutes before it's scheduled start.

As this is our first meeting I'd like to keep things as flexible as
possible. Outreach can mean many things. My principle goal for this meeting
is to define what we mean by Outreach, what we hope to accomplish in the
nine months remaining in this year and how we expect to accomplish these
goals. I have some ideas I'll present at the outset and then let the group
dictate the direction of the conversation. My hope is we conclude the
meeting with some concrete ideas as to where we'd like to go with our
Outreach program. I'll present our ideas to the Community in Beijing,
incorporate feedback, and then hope we can meet in more structured form the
week of April 22nd to begin to implement our action plan.

Some of the issues you might want to think about prior to the meeting are:

Outreach goals: numbers vs. need, diversity, organizations vs individuals

Outreach methods:  events / conferences, online programming, networking,
cold calls

Outreach needs: materials, resources, cooperative ventures

I'll start the conversation with a summary of recent accomplishments at the
NCUC e-platform level that positively position Outreach and will detail a
few initiatives that have already been started, both by this Executive
Committee and it's predecessor.

I look forward to meeting with everyone on Friday.

Kind Regards,


Edward Morris
Coordinator
NCUC Outreach Committee
