| | 58 | Since our membership meeting last Summer, most of my work has been focused on supporting our three newest staff members: Hilary, Ross and Enrique. |
| | 59 | |
| | 60 | In collaboration with Hilary, I've been supporting the implementation of the new payment policy, both in terms of thinking through how it should work and implementing the code changes required to make it happen in our control panel. |
| | 61 | |
| | 62 | With Ross (and dkg) I've supported creating the work flow for handling support requests and providing extra assistance to Ross with support questions and infrastructure issues he is not familiar with. I have also spent more time documenting as much as possible about how our infrastructure works. |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | With Enrique, I've contributed thinking and tech support on how to handle the technical transfer of infrastructure from Laneta to May First/People Link, supporting Enrique's outreach work in Mexico, and contributing to the ad-hoc committee on internationalization. |
| | 65 | |
| | 66 | I've also been working on LC preparations, including working with Alfredo and the rest of the staff on the agenda and Jack and others on the Leadership Committee decision making process. |
| | 67 | |
| | 68 | Over the years, the LC has expressed concern about the concentration of day-to-day responsibilities in my hands, which makes the organization dependent on me and therefore less stable. I'm happy to report that we've made tremendous progress in this area. Compared with a year ago, my day-to-day work has dramatically changed from hands-on work to supporting staff in doing the hands on work. While there is still more progress to be made, we're on the right track. |
