  1. Date of next meeting.
  2. Decisions made at previous meeting - are they a correct record?
  3. Actions outstanding from last meeting.

  17. (High-I, Med-U) PC: Let's summarise our working relationship with Stas and David, and review the 'three yardsticks': i) Do we know each other well enough to have identified at least one way that we want to work with each other?; ii) Do we see each other more as collaborators or competitors?; iii) What else would help us co-exist?
  18. (High-I, Med-U) Grid of who does what in non-buying sector.

PC: Offering to support Freeconomy structure/participation by inviting others to our (restructured) teleconferences. i.e. what kind of teleconferences can we invite others to?  Active recruitment of friends and family to our teleconferences - and changing the time to suit, e.g. by using AgreeADate.
  25. Freelender stories this week.
  26. How we work through phases of struggle and inspiration? (What works best to sustain us, and how we'd like to be seen?) PC: Proposal to introduce an additional 'Heart & Soul' monthly group, as transition towns often have, for working with the periods of despair in trying to attend to the issues of sustainability as we see them from our (insufficient) contribution.
  27. Anything else arising from the Development Groups (Networking Group, Marketing Group, Website Development Group, Community Conflict Transformation Group, Staff Recruitment and Induction Group or Fundraising Group)

  • Paul's 'StuffManagement' and 'MatchPoint' ideas can form part of a bigger picture, of which freelender is a part.
  • A future campaign will target contacting lots of groups at once, so that people see freelender in several places in a short space of time. See Marketing Group for more detail.
  • Freelending CIC will not seek Data Protection registration, insurance, or other legal documentation at present.
