Minutes of Burley House CI meeting

Oct 8, 8-9pm

All members present on conference call.

CI discussion began with a review of the latest draft of the "Constitution" for the Burley House Collaborative Inquiry Project.
Minor editing and additions were discussed and immediate changes were approved and made.
The most significant change was the addition of a group norm directly related to the incorporation of the concept of Questioning Honestly, as discussed in the CI text, Collaborative Inquiry in Practice, by Bray, on page 85.
This change was unanimously agreed to and the changes were made immediately. This document is now posted on the Burley House Collaborative Blogsite. (http://elpburleyhouse.blogspot.com/)

Discussion moved to the Blogsite and we worked through various log on issues and preferences for the appearance and content of the site.
It was determined that Rick would work individually with those members having logon issues so we could maximize our time on other topics.

When discussing the road ahead for the CI project, it was determined that each member of the group would take responsibility for the initial cut at defining a portion of the problem statement in order to further refine it.
The themes discussed in the problem statement, and the assignments for editing are as follows:

Maintaining: Alissa
Healthier: Hershel
Sustainable: Nancy
Affordable: Tom
Satisfying: Rick
Enjoyable: Joel

Definitions and clarifications of each theme are due to be complete and posted on the blogsite by Sunday night (10/14) to allow the group to review for discussion on our next CI phonecon on Monday night, Oct 15th.

We adjourned the meeting at approx 850 pm.
