Dear Klara, Andre, and others of the Executive Team
A short message to let you know how much I appreciate your efforts re the
YESS-‘community’ which is a very important part of ESP.
At some point I would like to discuss how to even better involve you in the
upcoming ESP Regional Conferences in October. I think you are hosting special
YESS-sessions at each of them but it would also be good to be more visible in
the plenary program, and of course in the ESP Forum.
But, first I wish you a successful skype meeting!
Best wishes
Dolf

Dear YESSers,
Following our initial e-mail (see below), we remind you that next Monday July,
16th at 14.00 CEST we will host an online plenum to discuss where we are as
network and the governance of YESS. The meeting should not last more than 1-1,5
hours..
You might recall that we asked you to read and comment the text in the google
document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a2_Ds_I_YaJ_Iy_0Yxo7mPz0cn7zOEUgqgLmWnb8Nkk/edit?usp=sharing>
(no google account needed) until July, 15 2018. Some of your comments have
already been integrated in the current version.
How to participate in the online plenum?
1. Go to https://webconf.vc.dfn.de/yess/
2. Insert the password: yess2018 (this is to ensure that only members take
part, so please do not distribute further).
3. You will need to install a small add-on for Adobe Connect (if you don't
have it already).
4. Once you enter the meeting room, it is recommendable that you check if
your audio settings are OK, for that click on "Meeting" (top left corner) and
on "Audio Setup Wizard". Make sure you selected the playback and recording
devices you want to use for the meeting.
5. If you have been given the floor by the discussion hosts, check that your
mic is on, meaning that the microphone icon (top, next to the speaker icon) is
green without a slash on top of it.
We will try to take care of any technicalities, should these arise, during the
call.
Any questions... hit us an e-mail!
Please take this opportunity to get to know YESS a bit better and help shaping
its future!
Best wishes,
Klara and André

Dear YESS members,
it's now over a year that we took over the task as Executive Team of YESS. As
much fun this task is, we want to make sure that YESS is developing and new
ideas and people can get involved on a regular basis.
When discussing how to build the next YESS Executive Team, we realized that
there is not really anything written and accessible for all us YESS members how
YESS is supposed to work. While André and I still want to keep YESS as light as
possible, we think some written information could help to further develop and
stabilize YESS. We want an as open and transparent process as possible, for
this reason we are writing you today.
In order to start a YESS internal discussion, we have copied the text for the
last nomination process for the Executive Team (March 2017) into a google
document and invite you all to comment it and share your thoughts. Then, we
want to host an online plenum during which all YESS members can voice their
opinion and discuss with us the outcomes. Based on this, as a next step, we
will open the call for nominations for the YESS Executive Team and if needed
elections will take place afterwards.
As next steps, we ask you to read and comment the text in the google
document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a2_Ds_I_YaJ_Iy_0Yxo7mPz0cn7zOEUgqgLmWnb8Nkk/edit?usp=sharing>
(no google account needed) until July, 15 2018. On July, 16 2018 at 14.00 CEST
we will host an online plenum to discuss and agree on the text inviting all
YESS members to contribute. In mid- to end-July, we hope to share the call for
nominations for the YESS Executive Team.
We appreciate your time and energy - your ideas help to further develop and
stabilize YESS!
If you have any questions and comments, please feel free to email us.
Your Executive Team
André and Klara

you would confirm this mail, which was necessary due to the latest developments
