[OSList] how to organize record of proceedings in a 3h1/2 OST format ?

[Monica Nissen]

Hello Christine
We sometimes have lap-tops or IPads in the break out sessions and have someone (self-selected) type in  the key points during the conversation (as I think you already indicate in your mail) . Sometimes we use a simple template and a drop box - It has worked quite well.

> Christine – 3 ½ Hours is short indeed, but I wouldn’t have a special time for typing. As you say, that will break the flow and reduce the time available in the closing circle. But there is another reason which is quite practical. The simple fact of the matter is that only a very small percentage of the group will be writing reports – and what are the rest supposed to do? I think if you just handle reports the way we always do… Tell folks to write them when they can and you will find, I think, that the conveners will honor their commitments even if they have to miss a session. Of course you will have the problem you always have – what to do about the last session?? So for that, and just to give yourself a safety margin, I would offer a common email address to which Reports can be sent, and be sure to give a cut-off day/time. Should have no problems.

> I'll be facilitating soon a short OS event of about 3h1/2, at the end of a 2 days conference for women involved in politics.
> The host insists on having typed proceedings, because she expects the OS part to boost empowerment in participants and encourage them to be more and more professional in their involvement (and stay in politics in spite of all kind of troubles women face in this kind of career.).
> 
> In the beginning she was thinking of having staff type reports but I discouraged her and she agreed to it. So we will have computers to type reports . Reports will be typed by participants themselves.
> 
> However I never organized typed reports within such a short event so I would appreciate your advices and experiences.
> Right now I suggested 2 rounds of one-hour-session then a break of 1/2h in order to type reports then closing circle. But that makes the break quite late in the afternoon and just before the closing circle: this doesn't feel optimal.
