Facilitator: Eliza

Minute taker: Storm

Minute taker's note: Due to the sporadic nature of two or three attendee's connections this week, the meeting was partly in voice, partly in text and partly a mix of both. The minute taker offers his apologies if he has not correctly credited or included all the comments, or if he has recorded things out of sequence.

Minutes

Meeting opened at 14:04 SLT.

1A Name Tags over avatars

PaB Host tag installed by Storm at Pema's suggestion. Email sent by Pema to the main guardian mailing list announcing it and declaring it optional. Around half of guardians are already wearing it in PaB pavilion meetings.

[Storm noted wryly that during this WG meeting itself there were two members wearing Host tags, two wearing Guardian tags, one wearing Cultivator tag, and one tag was not visible.]

1B Disruptive behaviour

With the current example under consideration, considerable discussion on the the main guardian mailing list had resulted in a possible three months ban. However it was noted that the person concerned had been behaving well recently! What do we do?

Agreement was reached in the WG to recommend suspending the ban and have it immediately instated in case of recidivism.

Maxine suggested we talk to him about a ban and follow through if disruptive behaviour resumes. That would be respectful to all parties.

Pema suggested we email the the main guardian mailing list with the proposal and ask for voluteers to do the talking, with a fallback of the WG group doing it if there were no volunteers.

Maxine agreed to draft the email for submission first to the WG and, after approval, to the the main guardian mailing list.

ACTION: Maxine
