ConvenerÕs Responsibilities

* Identify a scribe (you may do it yourself or ask for a volunteer).
* Record the name of the session and the convenerÕs name.
* Convener starts discussion by explaining BRIEFLY reason for proposing the topic and then invites each person to share why s/he decided to come.
* List participants.
* Capture major points of discussion (see the notes at the bottom of the page).
* Type up notes, print them and post on NEWS WALL, AND either post them at http://wiki.AgileCoachCamp.org or email them to Naresh at nashjain@gmail.com to post.

Tips for effective facilitation: 1) Ask questions, 2) make sure everyone who wishes to talk has the opportunity to do so (donÕt be afraid of silence). Most common critique of open space meetings: ÒCONVENERS TALKED TOO MUCH.Ó

Some thoughts about your notes:

* Capture what participants said in way that can be understood by someone who wasnÕt there.
* Use whatever media works best for you: flip chart, pen and paper, laptops, and/or visual images.
* If you take photos, post them to the wiki or email to Naresh at nashjain@gmail.com

Use reverse or additional sheets or flipchart paper as necessary
