Meeting information

Agenda

1. Updates: DTO, PCO, PP, HC, other departments

2. Easy Retro

Notes and action items

DTO updates

  • Potential labour disruption: there are GC-wide pages from TBS with more on the way depending on how things go
  • ICT accessibility standards: nothing comes into force until later (shifted timelines due to delay - current thinking is late spring into the summer)
    • Action item: Peter Smith will gather anything more regarding this item and come back to the group

Other Updates

  • Newsroom issues: report of a minor service disruption
    • It was fixed within 30 minutes and all is back to normal
    • For more, please see email from IT - questions can be posed there or you can open a ticket (Ali Hamadi for Principle Publisher, as Tanya is away)

Easy Retro

Update on reaching adjacent web communities and group exercise done on EasyRetro:

  1. One possible way to reach other adjacent communities in the short term was via different types of training:
    • Creating central official training at CSPS is possible, but is a longer-term project. We’ve had an initial conversation with CSPS and will continue to look at how this might unfold.
    • Sharing internal training resources that institutions have already created to reach out to internal stakeholders is a more immediate option. DTO will create a space to share training resources on GCPedia. Anyone with training to share can present it briefly at our Wednesday GCWP meetings for the next few weeks. This can include an overview of what the training covers and what groups within your organization it targets.
    • Resources don’t have to be full courses, they might include simpler things like checklists, one-pagers, or processes you have people follow.
  2. Next steps:
      • Create a repository on GCPedia
      • Volunteer to share your training materials - DTO will reach out to schedule you at an upcoming GCWP
      • Generate more ideas:
        • Design for marketing
        • Plain languaging
        • Content development process
        • Approvals and efficiency
        • Other things we do to try to bridge the gap with groups outside our web and communications colleagues

Action item: Please send your sharable idea and we’ll schedule you an informal time slot
