@patcon do we need to register or anything?
patcon 04:43:08
@itsmisscs Yep, we all def need to buy tickets! Full details in those emails shared above (various levels of discount based on need)
itsmisscs 05:27:46
ah, right! thanks for jogging memory on that, @patcon. i will get my ticket then.
heh no worries, def hard to keep track of all this slack nonsense!
maybe it needs it's own trello board, but here's a card to keep our stuff together for now 🙂

@ttcat @patcon @lizbarry @darshana Would love love to sync up on RightsCon before we head into April. The first half of April is busy for me, but the second half clears up. Would love to know what we’re planning 😄 and i’m just ridiculously excited to collab with everyone

Hi folks,

lizbarry 07:05:36
@itsmisscs @darshana and I are starting to imagine some great activities to co-host while @ttcat is in town for RightsCon, and (hopefully!) the Facilitator Training Team of @olivebranch.a, @sylin , and maybe @au (either telepresence or the real thing) are around before RightsCon.
We’re currently thinking of hosting activities the week before RightsCon (May 7-13th +/- a few days). Would those dates work for the Facilitator Training Team?
May 5-6 I’m co-running this 1500+ ppl Social Enterprise Summit https://www.en-tomorrowasia-2018apses.com/ and so unfortunately unlikely to fly out immediately afterwards… however the PDIS facilitators are not as heavily involved to SES so there might be a chance
Always happy to telepresent, of course
Congrats!! that’s a massive event. Would you want to come later in the week or would the week after RightsCon be better for you?
these activities we’re planning — are they in NYC or in Toronto or both?
schedule-wise, May 17 to May 20 is unoccupied for me, but as with all traveling I’ll need to check with the MoFA folks well in advance.
NYC would be the bulk of the activities. Toronto would potentially be a talk/panel and then RightsCon (if folks can/want to attend)
From our end, we’re keen on accommodating what’s best for you and team. We could even have Avross and Sylin up before and have you telepresent/participate and then run training in Toronto.
@au how long does the full facilitation training take?
also, what is the ideal number of participants?
That sounds good; @fang will also be great to ask and see what her availability is like. @sylin and @fang has written up a training proposal.
Looking at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eYXGnyTNYVcDUZPb3_S1yr1OoA292HxnYfluzCY7ylA/edit?usp=sharing I think it’s 6.5 hours — IIRC our biweekly workshops are 30 (ideal) to 40 (workable)
Anyway, if sy et al prefer May 10-14 instead, I’ll see what I can do — likely fly out the night of May 9 and move some of the SES side events — it’s will take more planning but is also possible
Thank you and we are so excited
also, for Participation Officers, the training takes two days (6.5 hours per day)
(ps, we are requesting access to that doc)
fixed sharing permissions for you
Oh this document is awesome. Really feeling it.
Does the two day PO training include hands-on training with the 360 camera and using the tablet to manage remote input while facilitating an in-person meeting?
I'm asking because we might need to acquire some of this hardware
360 cam is optional. two regular cams will do too. large tablets are useful but laptops will do. two projectors are useful but one will do
the only hard req is stable wifi
ok we will start reaching out to gather this stuff!
This might be a dumb question but… what is Facilitator Training Team?
“folks who run workshops that enable participants to someday run PO/vTaiwan-style collaborations”
we may also need to plan budgeting for NYC flights etc — recently we’ve been promoting POs into leading the entire process (so far: Ministry of Health and Welfare; Ministry of Finance) and they would be very helpful as part of the Training Team, esp. if we expect career civil servants as attendees
We are planning to promote the training to NYC civil servants. It is very likely that some will be in attendance. There’s been a lot of enthusiasm around vTaiwan. @lizbarry, @itsmisscs and I started talking budgets yesterday. We’ve been counting 3 people from your side. Is that the right number?
That sounds about right. If POs are willing to come we’ll ask support from their respective ministries, and/or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
we’ll keep you updated from our end
Thanks au 🙂
@sylin @fang how is May 7-13th for you? we’d like to bring you to NYC to run a training and participate in a few other side events. we’re organizing a week long festival 🙂
then we’d head to toronto. if you’d like to join us there, too, let us know
May 7-13th works for me 🙂
May 7-13th works for me too! 🙂
It would be great to join you in Toronto as well! Thanks!
Thanks @sylin and @fang 💯

@patcon @ttcat did we complete this requirement for RightsCon….“Once you have connected with your co-organizer, please use this google form to update your session’s title, description, and speakers. Moving forward, you will use #611 as the session ID number.

We are asking that this be completed by Friday, March 9, but the earlier the better. In order to ensure that your session is included in the program, we need to transfer your proposal into a public-facing session description.”
Yes. I have asked Nick, he said it’s fine if we submit next week
@ttcat and I were trying to schedule a catch up call even before we got merged :) we're trying to sort a slot, maybe somewhere in Monday night ET (after 7pm) or Tues 8-10am ET.

Happy to represent and take copious notes, but @darshana @itsmisscs @lizbarry your presence would feel right since all our names are on the proposal!
this tuesday i can do, next tuesday i cannot. monday (today and next) work for me
feel free to book a day and post the cal invite though. i can catch up via notes.
i can also catch up via notes
can someone link to our original proposal? i'm looking for it
hey. I will make it to the chat tomorrow
its' ok, i winged my request for travel support 😂

Great! sounds like it went well from the notes, but also maybe isn't totally locked down yet. Anyone want to write in with the take-aways?
- ttcat will give the intro to the event
- we will run SOD style workshop picking a topic more aligned with RightsCon (as per ttcat’s observations from last year’s event)
- organize an event on tuesday where we can bring or telepresent with au/pdis
