ICT Proposal:
Hi all,
We need NPC approval on something at the metting tomorrow. Let me explain it as briefly as I can.
To meet the expected increasing needs of tech support on the organize and community websites, we need to bring in a few more people as site administrators. Admins are the only role on a Drupal site really capable of doing what we need. Admins are also extremely powerful and can do virtually anything on a website.
We need to be confident that the people who are being made admins are mature, resposible, politically sensitive and fully collaborative. We have a few people who are willing to admin and we expect to get some more as we request them but we first need to have some filtering criteria in place so we can make confident and secure decisions about people.
We want to establish some requirements and procedures. Here is what we're proposing and we need NPC approval of this please.
Requirements: 1. one phone interview 2. one training 3. references -- see below
- Acceptable References
1. somebody from an NPC organization can state that they have worked with or have personal ties with this person
2. somebody from an organization that is an ally of an NPC organization can state that they have worked with or have personal ties with this person
3. somebody known in a work or political setting by an ICT member who will vouch for that person's fitness for the position.
Thanks.
Abrazos,
Alfredo

any questions?:
jamala - do you already have some folks in mind? alfredo - yes
adrienne - let's track who 'vouches' for folks jerome - and who oversees the work to know if someone goes wacko? alfredo - mark and ross oversee the site. admin leave a huge paper trail so we can see if anyone is doing stuff, and we have stuff in place for this purpose. best prevention is getting folks with best pedigree - if they don't have that.
Proposal approved.

Akudo: After NPC meeting in Detroit- we committed to having two national call days. May 27 was first one. Push for people to contact non-registered people. If you need info you can contact outreach committee. It didn't go so well as far as who we heard back from. Next national call day this thursday. Early registration ends this Friday. Our goal was for 100 people to register. Between wed 6/26 - fri 6/28 26 organizations registered.
7,240 individuals are now registered. Are there things that can be helpful to support you in making calls. We will be giving you people in your state to call. A strategy for next week is to target by sectors.
David is going to be sending out announcement about early registration extended so you can forward to your lists. For next week by sector- Labor and Faith have asked for a scan of who's registered.
AMB- if you send me the list of NPC members not registered I can follow up with them over email.

David sent out a great email from communications. Adele- we're doing a last minute media push, social media, web, print, radio spots. You can send PSA's to your local radio statiobns- we have English and Spanish PSAs and Arabic is coming out next week. We have 50 tv spots going out this week- you can get access in the press and media section. People's Media Center is getting ready and we're working with ICT on that. We will have daily newspaper, that will include Critical Moment- local newspaper. No press passes. Everyone is invited to the PMC- we want everyone to register including media people. Newspaper will be last minute to get out all the stories- we will need support to get those stories in from the marches, projects, etc. Have you been in touch with the caravan folks? We just put out a new press release on the caravans- people's caravan is one of the important angles. Louis- Let me findout who's doing comms work on caravan to get you connected to them.
