[seedig] Approach for building the SEEDIG meeting programme

Wed Nov 28 14:01:56 CET 2018

Hello, everyone. 

Dusan, thank you for your in-depth reflection on topics and the planning
process for the SEEDIG meeting. 

On the topics, we cannot say much at this stage, as this is a time for
you, community members, to share your views. But we would like to
comment on the process. 

The approach [3] we have used so far (the open call for issues, the
consultations on the draft programme, and the separate organising teams
for each session) was (and still is) motivated by an attempt to have a
process as inclusive as possible. So that the programme reflects the
interests of as many stakeholders as possible, while also giving all
those interested an opportunity to contribute. Within this process, the
Executive Committee also has a role, as we are trying, by working
together with the organising teams, to make sure that the programme is
balanced (in terms of topics of interests for different stakeholder
groups, for example). 

Whether this approach has been useful or not, and whether we should
change it or not, this is something the community should be commenting
and deciding on. 

We invite you all to do so (i.e. share your views), while also
considering Dusan's suggestion of replacing the individual session
organising teams with an overall 'Programme Committee' to be in charge
of the entire programme. 

We are not sure whether it is feasible (or advisable) to change the
process while it is happening. But this is another thing we should be
looking at as a community. 

So, once again, we thank Dusan for his reflections and suggestions. And
we invite everyone to comment on these. 

Best, 

Sorina

Last year we knew that GDPR simply must be a topic in agenda, now we know some of the topics, and I think that we all, and especially exe com, are losing time in creating meeting agenda under today's process. We already know what will be the major topics (at least most of them), and some sort of Programme Committee can do agenda instead of separate teams for each topic. This way exe com can be more relaxed and mostly focused on logistics. Also, the size of programme committee can be small, up to 5-7 people, and they can "swallow" all suggested topics in this Call for issues, and deliver a very good agenda. Let me try to illustrate (this is my lucky guess on next year agenda, including sessions topics, assuming the meeting will last two days)>

> When it comes to Child online protection, I must say: for me, it is much more important issue than most of them, Fake news f.e., but as we see through years, we consider almost everything more important than Child online protection. If we want to discuss this topic seriously, we need to discuss digital education of the parents and teachers, and how to educate them and how to transfer this knowledge to kids. Otherwise, some small presentation of projects, initiatives or organisations dealing with it - in my opinion, not useful. First question for the parents in the audience -it's ok for you to put a pics of your kids on FB, Instagram... Do you have their consent (I didn't quote GDPR, honestly! J)?
