Re: Leading Volunteers First, Managing Them Second
"Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity." - George Patton General Patton never worked at my place of work. The usual refrain is 'We haven't been trained', and some of their 'ingenuity' is extremely baffling and can take qui...

Re: New NCI Proposals - 0001 - NCI Management Organization
Gramma is not resigning from the position of Chairperson, her term of office ends in Feb, so all we need do at the moment is plan. _if_ I take over (big if) it will be for a fixed term, possibly 6 months. Gramma has done a hell of a lot more than organise parties, NCI would be in a hell of a mess if...

Re: Forum Promotion Proposals
I like some of the ideas, but we have to be careful. Some folk don't like forums and others don't want anything off-world to be associated with their in-world life. For, much of my SL life, the only blog I followed was the LL ones. Even now, I don't follow many SL orientated blogs and I don't follow...

Re: Respect
Respect cuts both ways. Just because someone dose not reply to your IM dose not mean they are ignoring you, it simply means they missed it. I've missed a few IMs in the past, and both Gramma and Carl missed some of mine. All the members of the BoD are busy these days, esp the Chairperson who is work...

Re: What is "democracy"?
Many thanks for your views, Janet. I'd like to perhaps put some answers forward to your points (and possibly get flamed for them, but thats fine :D ). Delegated Projects I would love to see folk coming forward with ideas, small or large. We have seen a couple of ideas on the forums already and I'd l...

Re: New NCI Proposals
Having one thread to discus all proposals dose not make sense. I don;t think we want them to be one for everyone to read, so the best option is to create a section for them. I didn't manage to chat to Lethe last night, I'll try to night.

Re: New NCI Proposals
I'm not sure you can create threads within threads. I thin that I'll suggest to Lethe that a Proposal group be created, accessible by Helpers, LOs, Instructors, and BoD.

Re: New NCI Proposals
I'd suggest a separate thread for each proposal. ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
