<br />Marcoplos added that Kaufman would be the moderator and would also be asking <br />for feedback from participants on the meeting itself and the work of the Council <br />overall. <br /> <br />Kaufman added that we were thinking about the evening of October 1st, and asked for any <br />thoughts on the idea of soliciting feedback from meeting participants. <br /> <br />Trueblood asked if the purpose of the event was more educational about the work of the <br />Council or if it would be more focused on hearing from the community about climate action <br />priorities. In her experience, it does not work well to try to do both at once. If you’re asking <br />for feedback, you have to be very clear about what feedback you are asking for before they <br />show up at the meeting. If it’s more about making contact sharing information, and building <br />a relationship then it can be more open. <br /> <br />Marcoplos agreed and said that the event was mostly meant to explain what we do and <br />what we’ve done. <br /> <br />McCullough said that we could not consider this an official feedback generating event since <br />that requires a much more intentional approach to ensure representation. This is more <br />educational. What are we doing and why is it relevant. <br /> <br />Trueblood said that sounds good and said that some virtual platforms are better than <br />others in allowing people to provide a small amount of feedback. Mini-survey on where you <br />are from, for instance can be good for warming up the participants. <br /> <br />Bouma agreed and said that the committee had discussed that somewhat as well as doing a <br />follow-up survey. He had reached out to the Clerk’s office as well to get guidance on which <br />platform might work best and to see if they might provide a technical support person to <br />help manage the event. <br /> <br />Tiger like the idea of a survey, as a way to get feedback and provide a call to action that <br />people might be interested in. They may be looking for things they can do themselves. <br /> <br />Kaufman agreed that it may be good to suggest a way to get involved. <br /> <br />Rubinoff added that this is what Mary Parry said was a good thing to do. Getting people to <br />share what they know about climate change and climate action with others. <br /> <br />Marcoplos and Kaufman also stressed the importance of recording the meeting and <br />providing the recording to others. Bouma confirmed that would be done. <br /> <br />Cole offered that we would likely have people register for the event and that would <br />facilitate follow-ups afterwards. <br /> <br />Tiger recommended that every Council member be introduced and volunteered to collect <br />and piece together a video of everyone introducing themselves. <br /> <br />Everyone liked that idea. <br /> <br />English and McCullough recommended that everyone follow a similar script or word count <br />for their 1-2 sentences.
