Joke: doc was cleaned up. Final opportunity for comments on the mailing list and today? No comments. Next steps: Send to Council for adoption.
Bart: it does not include anything regarding change management of the document.
“Managed by OMC, adopted by Council to be effective” is not a guideline, managed by OMC, with a role for Council. Edits made to final sentence in section 1. Group agrees with the proposed

iii.
Casual meet-up for newcomers: ccNSO Members Meeting
Wed, 11 March (09:00-10:00 local
Joke: similar agenda to Dublin, BUT with less time for the Tour de Table. Select about 3 longstanding members, and give more time to newcomers?
Jenifer: agree
Bart: ok…. But, if you have a set-up like in Prague, it would be a shame not to do so. Suggestion is to have at least one staff member introducing themselves too. Depends on who is there.
Bart: have the agenda and the questions ready
Joke: proposed slide deck is ready

Jenifer: let’s review the call for volunteers.
Bart: will be too late. The week after you start traveling.
Call for volunteers will be basically the same as last time. We can send it out this week.
In that case, OMC does not need to meet on the 23rd.
Claudia: yes, this week.
We can send it out, and send a reminder closer to the meeting
Thanks all!
