CANCELLED: Admin Meeting - Sat 22 Aug @ 20:00hrs

[TeaLeaf]

This is to announce an Admin Meeting for ALL Game Admins and Section Admins to be held on the dMw Teamspeak server on

Saturday 22nd August at 20:00 UK time.  

If you cannot make it please post in this thread to advise us and make sure that you include any of your thoughts/ideas in the post so that your voice counts.  Your silence is agreement.

Please check that your microphone is working and that you have Teamspeak installed along with details of the dMw Teamspeak server whose IP and password can be found here.

A private channel has been set up on the dMw TS server for the meeting which has been passworded.  The password for the dMw Admin Meeting channel is dmwadmin
______________________________________

Building on the recent flurry of activity the Community Admins have already asked for Game Admin feedback, either fresh ideas or your views on the points discussed in the public threads, so that we can consider how best to proceed.  The theory was that if a healthy debate was had here we could then move the ideas and debate on to a stage where we could discuss the distillation of ideas felt worthy of further debate and then later move to a position where the Community Admins could make final decisions based on everyone's feedback.

On 24th July I posted here and requested your views on the ideas generated by the public thread and your own additional ideas so that we could move the community forward.  We are now almost a month down the line and we want to move things forward.  

The below is a Draft Agenda for the meeting which I have pulled from the thread in this section only as these are the points YOU raised as important.  

If you think any of the other points/suggestions form the original Supporting Members' thread need inclusion then you need to post them here so that we can formalise the agenda.  

As the time gets closer to the meeting I will try to merge those items that would benefit from discussion in a wider context to try to limit the duplication and time we will spend on this on the night.


DRAFT Agenda Items for Discussion:

• Apologies for Absence
• PR Membership officer
• Publicity/Marketing
• 'Welcome new member' procedure
• Web update/development team
• Game server debate: public, reserved slots, private, etc; tactical v frag and server populations; frag servers as a feeder
• watershed rules: any need to formalise?
• Suggested regularised Admin meetings on TS to a pre-set agenda
• Current game portfolio and recommended additions/deletions

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND YOU CONSIDER THESE AGENDA ITEMS IN DEPTH BEFORE THE MEETING STARTS

Please be advised that due to the number of people expected at the meeting I will be enforcing relatively strict chairmanship.  We will not go off agenda and I may ask some speakers to either come to a point or wind up their comments if they are taking too long.  I aim to ensure that the meeting will not become a loose-talk shop.  I hope for a constructive & healthy debate on the night.  

I look forward to the additional agenda items you want discussed being posted in this thread, along with advance notice of any planned absences from the meeting.

Thank you in advance for the time and input that you will be giving to the meeting for the community's benefit.

TL.
