##Discussion topics##

###Urgent###
// we can't discuss this until we've discussed our decision making process, skip to i.e. "what happened" -Mathew

* an *actual* internal budget
* consensus on FT/PT -- in the absence of having made that decision before
  * who wants what, who *can* do what?
  * who would take a FT position if it were available?
  * separate: willingness, ability, preference, insistence to work PT or FT
  * what, organizationally, should be the review/prerequisite process for accepting a FT "applicant"? a plan of work? Stewart & Shannon did one; we could base on that.
  * How we value different types of work
  * How we prioritize types of work

###What happened###

* what broke down in our consensus process
  * proposals for a revised decision-making process
  * discussion of what sorts of decisions must have full consensus
  * how we define and determine consensus
* personal/rapport/empathy issues
  * civility, respect
  * deep breaths

###Moving forward###

* solutions going forward
  * rotating facilitator, monthly?

###General organizational decision making###

* rotating topic-based decision making teams to reduce burden
  * few teams with broad categories, like: Publishing, Data Outreach, Kits, Tool Research, Evaluation, Communities
  * each time has 3 members, each staff member has 2-3 team memberships?
  * switch around every 3 months?
