Re: [council] Newcomer Open House -- transcripts of the pilot session that took place yesterday

Thanks Mikey,

I really wanted to participate but finally could not make it, so all of this is 
very useful and I will be reading and listening to the recordings and offering 
feedback to help improve the pilot.

Not so long ago I was a newcomer at a gnso working group so I hope to be able 
to offer insights from a personal experience viewpoint.

Also, I know other people that intended to participate and will ask for their 
feedback and share if it is valuable.

Congratulatios to all who organized this! 

Gabi

Subject: [council] Newcomer Open House -- transcripts of the pilot session that 
took place yesterday

hi all,

i built a little web page on our site to introduce links to small, bite-sized 
pieces of the newcomer open house pilot that took place yesterday.  it met with 
good reaction from the people who participated, but it was a pilot and we're 
looking for ideas on how to improve it.  the whole thing is about an hour, but 
it's broken into small pieces so that people can select what they'd like to 
look at.  

thanks to Nathalie Perigrine for coming up with and driving the idea.  and 
Marika, Lars and Glen for making it happen.  i was/am honored to have been 
asked to be the presenter.
