Felix makes secretary, host or co-host. Co-host records meeting. Passes recording onto Dany. Dany upload recording to IOHK
Regular scheduling for this meeting (Nori)
Proposal: once every two weeks, the day after the CC meeting so we have two weeks to craft the next agenda, remind and chase action items, and the meeting is fresh in mind for a debrief on what went well/can be improved.
Makes more sense to have 1 week in advance - Nadim
Not enough time if we start to prepare a week in advance - Nori
Timeliness of tracking - Peter
Proposal approved to meet the day after the CC meeting.
Action item: Nori to send out a recurring meeting
Rotation for Facilitator and Secretary for this meeting (Nori)
Proposal: Trade off the facilitator and secretary for this meeting so people can start practicing the skills for facilitation and recording of the minutes, prep for meeting, etc. Come up with a schedule or rotation so people can know when they will be on-deck.
Proposal accepted
Action Item: Team to create a schedule for admin and facilitator
Action Item: Support Felix in progress and achievement reporting Slidedeck at TH

Bringing this to Allison's attention and for tracking, I as a ADA holder consider this very problematic if true...
This is not the first time. A while back the circle decided to grant themselves an exception to submit a proposal after the deadline. #Power2OurPeople
@stephen-rowan can you, or some librarian (that is a business function established in process driven organizations, not a derogatory use of the word, they are very important) please provide reference to the minutes where this was discussed, justified, and decided?

T&M: There are no systems to track and visualize Trust and Participation
A method is needed to select members of the technical council that ensures members have high qualifications with the appropriate technical competency. A community vote works well for selecting Circle members since these individuals are responsible for representing the people of the community. In contrast, the technical council is responsible for representing the technical parameters of the Catalyst process. The individuals with the appropriate skills may not have the political skills necessary to win a popular vote. Therefore an alternative selection process that provides input from the community but is focused on the evaluation of technical skills is required.
For example, a suggested process would be the following. Randomly select a Selection Committee from the community of Catalyst IdeaScale members. A committee of 5-10 individuals would be charged with reviewing the qualifications of applicants for the Technical Council, holding interviews, and discussing the qualifications. The committee would hold a meeting to arrive at a consensus for recommending a nominee. Consensus could be defined as either 2/3rds majority or unanimity. Optionally, the nominee could be approved by a simple majority or 2/3rds of the Catalyst Circle. Such a process would ensure committee input (through random representation), focus on technical competency (through interview rather than voting process), and reduction of collusion (by insulating the Circle from the process).

FelixWeber and Victor Corcino - as discussed I have setup tracking of the Toolmakers and CA Circles here (https://github.com/Catalyst-Swarm/Catalyst-Circle-Co-ordination/projects/2#card-65171106 ) . I will record any Toolmaker or CA Circle event and link to the documentation you produce.

QA-DAO is no longer able to track the content of Catalyst Circle Meetings because the meeting is no recorded only in a proprietary Miro format and recorded on video. There is no longer any easy way to get an overview without accessing a Miro Board.

Kerstin Nobel - First incident was on December 17th. Len made a comment about the EU government and added in brackets that they "want to vaccinate babies". I commented that I would ask to leave those comments out of the chat because some, including me, might find it insensitive. I´ll send a screenshot of Marks reply, which was out of line in my opinion and the screenshots makes it clear that it was not just me, who thought this.
Kerstin Nobel - The second incident was basically a gender discussion which led to Mark calling out, as I said - cultural Marxism. I provided just the Wikipedia on this theorem to make people aware of what it means and Mark made very rude comments and called me "leftist gang". I made sure to not call him out to keep the discussion fair, but he didn´t and then Matthias (midas) chimed in about communism and then Danny called for this to end on both of us. I did not make any pro-communist remarks and didn´t put any political stuff into my replies or comments at all, but Len and Mark do this in a very clear way and I find this to be very problematic. (On a personal note, since I live in the US part time for like 10 years. This community is not even mostly US based and the irrational fear of communism in the US is just stupid and we all know that parts of Catalyst are experimenting with UBI and stuff, so it would be great if the US paranoid far righters could leave their agenda out of this.) But I wanted to be fair and didn´t say what I would have loved to say.
Honestly, I have no idea how to deal with it. I don´t need any anonymity, I´m happy to mediate this with Mark in a group setting. I´m also ok with however the circle usually does things.
For me it was just necessary to let somebody that I relate to in this community know, that I´m not ok with how I was treated and that I´m seeing a problem in how communication is going in two of the Telegram groups.
This was my comment. While it might be accusing in it´s content, I think it is a difference to accuse and bully/ drown somebody (Mark) and to provide a viewpoint (me) on a comment so that the community can choose what they find more relevant. This should not be answered with how Mark did that.
And can we please understand what Mark is doing and how he is steering the conversation. He called me out for discussing Marxism (which he brought up) and then other people saw me as the person who is causing a problem or an argument, while this was not even the case.
this is the rest of the conversation.
here is another female member of the diversity chat and her thoughts.
Stephen Rowan (Whitenstall) - Thank you Kerstin. My first thought is to raise this a problem that relates to Codes of Conduct. To mature Catalyst needs to address how behaviour is regulated in a distributed environment (it is never a free for all). I can document what you have provided "as is" in one of Circle's GitHub repos (if you agree - it will then be public and open source) , then raise it as an agenda item and refer to it at this week's Circle Meeting (this Thursday). I support a range of viewpoints in Catalyst - but people have to listen to and respect each other. I will talk to other Circle members about this beforehand - so they have an opportunity to read the context.

With the community now responsible for setting all of the challenge categories, there is a need to develop a mechanism to encourage some categories to have 3-4 quarters to develop their objectives.
Part of why something like this is necessary is that voting is a very imprecise method of decision-making. If you consider the process that IOG utilized to select the categories for the first three rounds, this probably involved a committee negotiating and designing the categories. Once this was worked out, the categories were fairly stable for a few rounds. While IdeaScale provides some of this kind of challenge shaping, it’s a more difficult process to manage. So, some fine-tuning of the process may be helpful in achieving the right balance between stability and innovation in the challenge categories.
One way this could be accomplished is to allow a funded category to sustain its funding for the next 2-3 quarters with a) a lower voter margin for acceptance and/or b) prioritization in the ranking for a portion of the funding.

IOG has presented the concept of the Catalyst Circle to be engaged in co-defining 'Catalyst Parameters'. It is ideal that the Circle starts with a few Catalyst Parameters and work through a process to present a proposal and decide/vote on the Parameter Change within Circle Meetings. The parameters can be identified based on community sensing or future fund planning.
