[Advisors] TC -- moving ahead in 2015

[Peter Frampton]

I think your suggestions are good ones.
Wondering also if we could see if the members might be traveling to a conference or whatever - to arrange a face to face.
The National Social Enterprise Conference will be held in London Ontario in April.
Is anyone planning to attend
could we piggy back something

if so - I can reach out to friends/partners there and find some free space

It may be cold and still pretty dark outside most of our windows, but at least we are moving toward those precious long warm summer days we are all waiting for.  The TC list has been very quiet for the last couple of months.  I think we all took some time to recover from the sadness of losing Gareth last year.  But, it is time now to think about how to move forward with TC.

We have had success in the past, sharing strategies to keep CAP going for longer than it would have otherwise and contributing to research and policy on digital strategies.  We are still very involved in national (CIRA, ISOC) and international organizations  (ICANN, NARALO).  Needs and priorities have changed and strategies need to change as well.  But there is still a lot of value in this organization if we figure out how to use it.

In the past we used a service called Freeconferencecall.com (https://www.freeconferencecall.com).  It worked pretty well but did entail long distance charges for those calling in, which generally does not amount to a lot these days, but could still be a deterrent for some.  I am looking for suggestions re: other options.
