Oli, Dave,
We discussed the idea of group work sessions each month. I suggested that we run these a fortnight away from the FiL days, and that they might be afternoon sessions with informal evening follow-ons as practical.
The idea would be for the core team plus one or two particular domain experts to focus around a few specific questions that we have identified as needing increased clarity/resolution - we'd probably try to choose the domain for sessions (and thus the experts to invite) a month or so in advance (as opposed to setting a fixed timetable now).
The first of these would be Thursday 10th (if we can all make that date).
I suggest that the topic would be the big questions around why we are doing this, our 'big story' / mission statement, our own personal versions of this, a clear definition of the project scope, this sort of thing - exact questions to be chosen by us.
I am hoping that we can get someone to facilitate this (bit short notice) - to keep us focused and make sure we cover the questions we want to address (I'm trying to get in touch with Polly at Space4 about this - any other ideas?).

It would be great if we could quickly agree to this - then I can make arrangements.
Also, what questions should we consider?
If we each put questions here, we could experiment with Loomio's voting (dot voting might be a way to prioritise).

Yes, I think it's a great idea. On thursday 10th, I'd like to look at the work plan in more detail, including costings, so that I have some clear figures for the Lottery on the 29th. Plus we could talk about topics / people to invite for future sessions. Plus recruitment. We can get 'big story' stuff in as well if you like, but I don't think we need much time on that do we? we know where we're all coming from?

I agree with Dave, let's get this booked in and spend time working on practical steps and progressing the work plan and numbers. I don't think we need facilitation for that, but it might be useful for future meetings involving more than just us 3...
