Gail,

Thanks for circulating this and for your suggestion to go ahead and release the full report.

In response to your question:  I am comfortable with us taking a vote via e-mail regarding whether to release the full evaluation report to the membership as-is.  I suggest a very specific deadline for such a vote (e.g., COB next Friday, Oct. 14) and a simple process for taking the vote (e.g., reply to Gail who will tabulate and announce the results, with anyone who doesn’t reply by the deadline being deemed as having given their assent).

Subject: [RE-AMP Steering Cmte]: Final Report: 3rd Party Evaluation

This message has been cross posted to the following eGroups: Steering Committee and Evaluation Committee .

Hi Steering Committee and Evaluation Committee,  Here is the final report of INC and O-H Community Partners on the evaluation they conducted of our RE-AMP network! Originally we had said we would probably not release the full report to the entire network, however as I reviewed these documents I didn’t see anything that required any sort of filtering. I would like to ask the Steering Committees permission to go ahead and post these documents and some brief context to the entire Commons. Can this be done by a vote over this discussion list?

 As a special note to the evaluation committee and the executive committee, if you haven’t filled out the doodle poll (http://doodle.com/ffdqw7hnmrsc7ztk) yet please do so, (original email about that call below).

 Email about scheduling the evaluation call:

 At the last Steering Committee meeting, we decided that it would be good for the evaluation committee to meet with RE-AMP’s executive committee to jointly review the findings and begin working through the implications for implementation. Jeremy and I discussed this briefly this morning and we propose meeting by phone next week for this purpose. Prior to the call, I will try to group the recommendations into some “responsibility groups” so we can get a feel for which nodes of our network need to lead the charge on evaluating and implementing each piece. The evaluators have made some suggested specific next steps, I want to also review annual meeting and other notes to see what other next steps might make sense. I will send this around before the call. Jeremy and I both feel we need to have an extensive conversation about the recommendations prior to the staff retreat Oct 25-26. So we are going to set aside a 3-hour block of time for the call. Recognizing that not everyone can commit to a 3-hour phone call, we’d like to structure the call so that we spend the first hour on any general feedback, agreeing to “responsibility groups” or some other system for making sure the implementation can be managed, and particularly pulling out anything the committees want to be sure is addressed by staff at our meeting or at the next steering committee phone call. We should also decide if the evaluation committee will play a role in the implementation or if this should be handed off to the steering committee. After that first hour, anyone who would like to stay to go deeper into the weeds is welcome but not obligated.
