****************
- Ambassador for Africa / personal advisor to Jean Cretien - speaks at York about Africa & preparing for the G8
- meeting with Ron from Compaq about the digital divide in Canada - how can TIG help to address it?
- meeting with TAD from Youth for Environmental Sanity
- long discussion with Nick from AU
1. Update on TIG from Jen and Mike.
a) The Careeredge internships are coming to an end, Jen will be talking to Royal Bank to see whether they will continue to provide funding. Also approaching HRDC (Human Resources something Canada) to get staff funding (which would be more flexible).
b) The Zine is under development: "I3" - it's a new way of looking at TIG articles. Nick emphasised need to see this as one of many ways of viewing TIG articles, perhaps aimed at western audience.. Online zine could be translated into paper magazine in the future.
c) Mike and Jen met with Compaq Canada today. They were very supportive, although in transition due to merger with HP. In short term, probably support Canadian stuff, including computer lab at Toronto office.In longer term will connect with global people, could provide about $75,000 worth of computer stuff to different projects we reccommend.
2. Nick thanked Jen and Mike for sending $$
3. Youth Rep Pack and Structure (inc. Melbourne)
a) Jennifer is presently producing a summary of TIG that will help clarify things.
b) Nick will redraft the structure stuff that Derek had produced, inc. mission and so on.
c) We will refine the concept of TIG Teams and TIG Youth Reps. Youth Reps in each country will be given clearly defined and standardised job descriptions that align with the too-be concrete TIG Business Activities (ie. community, tech enabler, education etc). We may have more than one Youth Rep per country, but there will be a more comprehensive selection process. TIG Teams will be replaced by Action Groups that form around projects or issues of interest to those specific members (and this might not just be in a geographic locale, but virtual teams around the world). TIG Youth Reps will be there to play a facilitatory role, according to their defined mission. Nick to expand and clarify.
Talked about Melbourne Team and the problem there being that the team formed and then wondered what they had to do, and the Youth Rep had difficult role of helping a disperate group of people (who were already active in a variety of ways) come to a consensus about group activity: better that we can just develop their own projects and bring them together where we can... Jen is writing response to Michelle.
4. Partnerships
a) African Network - we will promote the Parliament to our members once the contract is signed with AYP. We also also pursue other events and orgs to be part of the network. Jen said the Canadians hosting the G8 Summit in June are launching a big Africa initiative: she will pursue that for funding possibilities.
b) Model UN - suggested that Camilla from the UK or someone else associated with THIMUN might be interested in playing a project management style role with this project; wanting to hear back from Jarra.
c) IYPS - Nick noted they will give us a brief and $3000 to develop their website (basically co-branded events database) which we are already hosting in temp format.
d) AIDS.TIG - agreed that AIDS.TIG is perhaps not the best name, also agreed that we would not use the name of an existing org/partner in the project to ensure neutrality.
5. Projects feature
We are on the same page about the need to create a Projects area of the TIG site, indeed part is already created under My Profile. Nick forwaded Mike specific field blueprint. Jen identified need to categorize projects too.
6. Future Projects
a) International Youth Foundation / Youth Action Net
Ben reports that YouthActionNet are getting very few visitors (YAN called and asked to compare stats and were surprised how many visitors we get). Mike and Jen agreed with thrust of Nick's powerpoint, and we will line up a 3-way telephone meeting with Rick Little, Jen and Nick to present the powerpoint to them. Nick to also send Jen and Mike his university schedule.
b) 4H Council / At the Table
Mike to have tele-meeting with them Monday. Nick suggests key framework for partnership includes us developing their technology, powering their databases etc. We could manage or further develop their site. It is generally frustrating that they duplicate our effort. Not too much can be done.
c) UNEP Sustainable Consumption website Project
UNEP to get back to us on this project worth about $30,000. Nick to followup again to make sure they respond ASAP.
d) Global Kids 1-year post Sept 11th partnership project.
Nick discussing with Barry from GlobalKids idea to create online discussion around September 11th with an international focus; potentially involving a video conferencing project. Nick to develop summary and push along...
Jen brought up potential to synergize with our Classroom Connections project -- TIG is developing a project with funding from Canadian Dept of Citizenship and Immigration, to create online community for peace education in classroom....
e) Noise Canada - major ~$2m project to highlight youth culture through the media, under the auspices of the Canada Council for the Arts. Modelled on Australian example. We could get big outsourced component with technolgy/backend etc. Nick wrote to them and cc'd Jen. Nick to forward e-mail again.
f) AEISEC - connection with large student organization. they approached us to collaborate. nick to respond to e-mail and outlines ways we could work together, particularly technology development.
7. Promoting our tech capabilities to Youth Orgs
AIESEC is an example of a group that has funding but didn't know TIG was around so took their tech business elsewhere. Need to ensure this doesn't happen in the future. We will create a brochure that describes our capabilities and mission and send to people responsible for Tech at all major youth orgs in the world
8. TIG Global Structures
Discussion surrounding charitable vs non-charitable. presently using the YMCA as a charitable fiscal agent for some stuff in canada. Longer term we should create another charitable org in Canada to support our non-profit inc one.
Skadden Arps need to get back to Nick re: memorandum of understanding for Nation1 Foundation Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen and Mike need to send Skadden all their contracts/financials etc.
9. World Summit on the Information Society
This is a major UN summit happening in Geneva in December (12-16th) 2003 and in Tunis in 2005 exploring digital divide and the 'human face of technology'.
We will strongly work on coordinating youth involvement in this conference. We could host a WSIS Youth Summit to go along with the Geneva event in 2003, that could incorporate or leverage a TIG Summit (of Youth Reps). Nick has written to International Telecommunications Union who are the hosts to explore options. We should explore going to the Preparatory meeting 1-5th of July 2002 in Geneva.
[Note: Nick also set up WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com this afternoon to act as a mailing list for discussion amongst young people interested in being part of the process]
Some discussion about the broad concept of bringing 20 young active members/Youth Reps of TIG together in Toronto/another city for training etc.
10. United World Colleges Summit. Resolved that it would be good if Ezekiel and Camilla were our representatives, plus Nick if he wanted to go. Nick will also make recommendation to Jen and Mike as to whether we should nominate them. Must do this quite quickly.
11. Global Catalyst Foundation - have said they do not want to fund our proposal as it is too similar to other things they are doing. (A tad frustrating). We will keep in contact with them and suggest other particular projects to them or indeed some of our programs (like Africa etc).
12. Discussed Nick coming to Toronto in June, staying in Mike's townhouse. Also discussed possibility of Emily Kumpel coming to work with TIG, that would be good and we should explore it. Nick to ask her needs. Jen to followup too.
13. Discussion around creating a cultural/country specific information service contributed to by users on TIG site. Jen will writes some ideas -- we will go full into this when Nick gets to Toronto.
Also how this could link to a Youth Exchange and Travel resource and Educational and all sorts of other things! :)
14. Annual Report - will hold off doing this for now until the accounting period has been set.

Saturday March 9
****************
- UofT's National Business and Technology conference (we ran a workshop which was a total success!) here are the notes from the break-out group sessions we had:
What Opportunities and Threats do the following trends offer for businesses, governments, civil society, NGO's??
GOVERNANCE:
“regulations – the governance of the web”
Civil society is being brought together to be informed
Business
Opportunities: they can be as aggressive as they want to be
Threats: hackers putting “all sorts of craziness” on your site. People talking trash. Cybersquatting; domain name IP thieves.
Government
Threats: security, hackers doing damage. Parental pressure – with no governance, they expect to look to someone to protect children from negative materials. Terrorists using the web to communicate and collaborate.
Opportunities – taxation, public policy awareness (open mike), communication
ACCESS TO CONTENT:
Business
Enables them to reach a larger market (globalization), lowering marketing costs
Privacy threat, initial costs to get into this are high, overcoming consumer mentality of security
Civil Society
Less restricted information flow, increasing knowledge
Privacy, Regulation problems, Ease of misuse of information, expectation of costless. Not wanting to pay for things.
Government
Lower costs of governance, allowing people to better understand government, government utilizing resources more efficiently to reach people
Mentality of people, censorship, privacy, information access too easy – opening up for attacks.
COMMUNICATIONS AND COMMUNITY:
Opportunities
Location doesn’t prevent exchange
Increased collaboration
Greater likelihood of making friends (IM, E-mail)
Constant information accessibility
Reaching and understanding other languages (access to multilingual content and technology)
Threats
Too much dependence on the Internet
Loose control of content
Preference of traditional ways of accessing information (online forms not good?)
VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES:
Civil Society
Opportunities
Internet communication removes traditional boundaries for communication
Ability to experience a simulated environment or gender!
Helping people “come out of their shell” in they are traditionally shy or less communicative in person
Global access and context
Threats
Replacing strong physical ties with weaker global ties
Loss of knowledge of interaction
- surprise visit to karis' (pick up for party)
- party at amanda's!! Sleepover!!

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because they’re not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN
- How to start a club - resources
- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand

NICOLE

- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming

Marketing Strategies
Letter in faculty boxes
Listserves
Clubs
What are our assumptions?
Diversity @ York – we are one of the most multicultural communities
Level of student engagement
Commuter culture
People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties
People are not very inspired
No central place of information about different activities at York
If we do this, we would be the central source of information?
Do students feel frustrated about the York experience?
What kind of people are students interested in hearing from?
Students are apathetic and indifferent
NEED: Report on the state of the University. How can we help to implement the recommendations?!
• What are the demographics of York Students?
• What information is collected about students at York?
• What are the demographics of students?
-------------------------------------------
* jen receives from the Selection Committee for the York/Scandinavian Academic Exchange program...she has been nominated to participate in the Stockholm University, Sweden exchange for Winter 2002 academic term (this is pending acceptance from Stockholm University.

Spends the night writing this massive progress report...
Jen feels overwhelmed. Mind is spinning with ideas...and hopes...and a few fears
What's next she wonders...
What's next?
My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...

****************
- Ambassador for Africa / personal advisor to Jean Cretien - speaks at York about Africa & preparing for the G8
- meeting with Ron from Compaq about the digital divide in Canada - how can TIG help to address it?
- meeting with TAD from Youth for Environmental Sanity
- long discussion with Nick from AU
1. Update on TIG from Jen and Mike.
a) The Careeredge internships are coming to an end, Jen will be talking to Royal Bank to see whether they will continue to provide funding. Also approaching HRDC (Human Resources something Canada) to get staff funding (which would be more flexible).
b) The Zine is under development: "I3" - it's a new way of looking at TIG articles. Nick emphasised need to see this as one of many ways of viewing TIG articles, perhaps aimed at western audience.. Online zine could be translated into paper magazine in the future.
c) Mike and Jen met with Compaq Canada today. They were very supportive, although in transition due to merger with HP. In short term, probably support Canadian stuff, including computer lab at Toronto office.In longer term will connect with global people, could provide about $75,000 worth of computer stuff to different projects we reccommend.
2. Nick thanked Jen and Mike for sending $$
3. Youth Rep Pack and Structure (inc. Melbourne)
a) Jennifer is presently producing a summary of TIG that will help clarify things.
b) Nick will redraft the structure stuff that Derek had produced, inc. mission and so on.
c) We will refine the concept of TIG Teams and TIG Youth Reps. Youth Reps in each country will be given clearly defined and standardised job descriptions that align with the too-be concrete TIG Business Activities (ie. community, tech enabler, education etc). We may have more than one Youth Rep per country, but there will be a more comprehensive selection process. TIG Teams will be replaced by Action Groups that form around projects or issues of interest to those specific members (and this might not just be in a geographic locale, but virtual teams around the world). TIG Youth Reps will be there to play a facilitatory role, according to their defined mission. Nick to expand and clarify.
Talked about Melbourne Team and the problem there being that the team formed and then wondered what they had to do, and the Youth Rep had difficult role of helping a disperate group of people (who were already active in a variety of ways) come to a consensus about group activity: better that we can just develop their own projects and bring them together where we can... Jen is writing response to Michelle.
4. Partnerships
a) African Network - we will promote the Parliament to our members once the contract is signed with AYP. We also also pursue other events and orgs to be part of the network. Jen said the Canadians hosting the G8 Summit in June are launching a big Africa initiative: she will pursue that for funding possibilities.
b) Model UN - suggested that Camilla from the UK or someone else associated with THIMUN might be interested in playing a project management style role with this project; wanting to hear back from Jarra.
c) IYPS - Nick noted they will give us a brief and $3000 to develop their website (basically co-branded events database) which we are already hosting in temp format.
d) AIDS.TIG - agreed that AIDS.TIG is perhaps not the best name, also agreed that we would not use the name of an existing org/partner in the project to ensure neutrality.
5. Projects feature
We are on the same page about the need to create a Projects area of the TIG site, indeed part is already created under My Profile. Nick forwaded Mike specific field blueprint. Jen identified need to categorize projects too.
6. Future Projects
a) International Youth Foundation / Youth Action Net
Ben reports that YouthActionNet are getting very few visitors (YAN called and asked to compare stats and were surprised how many visitors we get). Mike and Jen agreed with thrust of Nick's powerpoint, and we will line up a 3-way telephone meeting with Rick Little, Jen and Nick to present the powerpoint to them. Nick to also send Jen and Mike his university schedule.
b) 4H Council / At the Table
Mike to have tele-meeting with them Monday. Nick suggests key framework for partnership includes us developing their technology, powering their databases etc. We could manage or further develop their site. It is generally frustrating that they duplicate our effort. Not too much can be done.
c) UNEP Sustainable Consumption website Project
UNEP to get back to us on this project worth about $30,000. Nick to followup again to make sure they respond ASAP.
d) Global Kids 1-year post Sept 11th partnership project.
Nick discussing with Barry from GlobalKids idea to create online discussion around September 11th with an international focus; potentially involving a video conferencing project. Nick to develop summary and push along...
Jen brought up potential to synergize with our Classroom Connections project -- TIG is developing a project with funding from Canadian Dept of Citizenship and Immigration, to create online community for peace education in classroom....
e) Noise Canada - major ~$2m project to highlight youth culture through the media, under the auspices of the Canada Council for the Arts. Modelled on Australian example. We could get big outsourced component with technolgy/backend etc. Nick wrote to them and cc'd Jen. Nick to forward e-mail again.
f) AEISEC - connection with large student organization. they approached us to collaborate. nick to respond to e-mail and outlines ways we could work together, particularly technology development.
7. Promoting our tech capabilities to Youth Orgs
AIESEC is an example of a group that has funding but didn't know TIG was around so took their tech business elsewhere. Need to ensure this doesn't happen in the future. We will create a brochure that describes our capabilities and mission and send to people responsible for Tech at all major youth orgs in the world
8. TIG Global Structures
Discussion surrounding charitable vs non-charitable. presently using the YMCA as a charitable fiscal agent for some stuff in canada. Longer term we should create another charitable org in Canada to support our non-profit inc one.
Skadden Arps need to get back to Nick re: memorandum of understanding for Nation1 Foundation Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen and Mike need to send Skadden all their contracts/financials etc.
9. World Summit on the Information Society
This is a major UN summit happening in Geneva in December (12-16th) 2003 and in Tunis in 2005 exploring digital divide and the 'human face of technology'.
We will strongly work on coordinating youth involvement in this conference. We could host a WSIS Youth Summit to go along with the Geneva event in 2003, that could incorporate or leverage a TIG Summit (of Youth Reps). Nick has written to International Telecommunications Union who are the hosts to explore options. We should explore going to the Preparatory meeting 1-5th of July 2002 in Geneva.
[Note: Nick also set up WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com this afternoon to act as a mailing list for discussion amongst young people interested in being part of the process]
Some discussion about the broad concept of bringing 20 young active members/Youth Reps of TIG together in Toronto/another city for training etc.
10. United World Colleges Summit. Resolved that it would be good if Ezekiel and Camilla were our representatives, plus Nick if he wanted to go. Nick will also make recommendation to Jen and Mike as to whether we should nominate them. Must do this quite quickly.
11. Global Catalyst Foundation - have said they do not want to fund our proposal as it is too similar to other things they are doing. (A tad frustrating). We will keep in contact with them and suggest other particular projects to them or indeed some of our programs (like Africa etc).
12. Discussed Nick coming to Toronto in June, staying in Mike's townhouse. Also discussed possibility of Emily Kumpel coming to work with TIG, that would be good and we should explore it. Nick to ask her needs. Jen to followup too.
13. Discussion around creating a cultural/country specific information service contributed to by users on TIG site. Jen will writes some ideas -- we will go full into this when Nick gets to Toronto.
Also how this could link to a Youth Exchange and Travel resource and Educational and all sorts of other things! :)
14. Annual Report - will hold off doing this for now until the accounting period has been set.

Saturday March 9
****************
- UofT's National Business and Technology conference (we ran a workshop which was a total success!) here are the notes from the break-out group sessions we had:
What Opportunities and Threats do the following trends offer for businesses, governments, civil society, NGO's??
GOVERNANCE:
“regulations – the governance of the web”
Civil society is being brought together to be informed
Business
Opportunities: they can be as aggressive as they want to be
Threats: hackers putting “all sorts of craziness” on your site. People talking trash. Cybersquatting; domain name IP thieves.
Government
Threats: security, hackers doing damage. Parental pressure – with no governance, they expect to look to someone to protect children from negative materials. Terrorists using the web to communicate and collaborate.
Opportunities – taxation, public policy awareness (open mike), communication
ACCESS TO CONTENT:
Business
Enables them to reach a larger market (globalization), lowering marketing costs
Privacy threat, initial costs to get into this are high, overcoming consumer mentality of security
Civil Society
Less restricted information flow, increasing knowledge
Privacy, Regulation problems, Ease of misuse of information, expectation of costless. Not wanting to pay for things.
Government
Lower costs of governance, allowing people to better understand government, government utilizing resources more efficiently to reach people
Mentality of people, censorship, privacy, information access too easy – opening up for attacks.
COMMUNICATIONS AND COMMUNITY:
Opportunities
Location doesn’t prevent exchange
Increased collaboration
Greater likelihood of making friends (IM, E-mail)
Constant information accessibility
Reaching and understanding other languages (access to multilingual content and technology)
Threats
Too much dependence on the Internet
Loose control of content
Preference of traditional ways of accessing information (online forms not good?)
VIRTUAL EXPERIENCES:
Civil Society
Opportunities
Internet communication removes traditional boundaries for communication
Ability to experience a simulated environment or gender!
Helping people “come out of their shell” in they are traditionally shy or less communicative in person
Global access and context
Threats
Replacing strong physical ties with weaker global ties
Loss of knowledge of interaction
- surprise visit to karis' (pick up for party)
- party at amanda's!! Sleepover!!
Sush & Jen come up with Toronto Xcursions idea:

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because they’re not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN

- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming
- pamphlet when you are at York
- Advisor
HUSS
- list serve for clubs (clubs@yorku.ca)
- Senate - YORK SPIRIT - huge concern - sustainability of school

Marketing Strategies
Letter in faculty boxes
Listserves
Clubs
What are our assumptions?
Diversity @ York – we are one of the most multicultural communities
Level of student engagement
Commuter culture
People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties
People are not very inspired
No central place of information about different activities at York
If we do this, we would be the central source of information?
Do students feel frustrated about the York experience?
What kind of people are students interested in hearing from?
Students are apathetic and indifferent
NEED: Report on the state of the University. How can we help to implement the recommendations?!
• What are the demographics of York Students?
• What information is collected about students at York?
• What are the demographics of students?
-------------------------------------------
* jen receives from the Selection Committee for the York/Scandinavian Academic Exchange program...she has been nominated to participate in the Stockholm University, Sweden exchange for Winter 2002 academic term (this is pending acceptance from Stockholm University.
* jen can't sleep.
Spends the night writing this massive progress report...
Jen feels overwhelmed. Mind is spinning with ideas...and hopes...and a few fears
What's next she wonders...
What's next?
My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...

1. Mise à jour sur le TIG de Jen et de Mike.
a) Les internats de Careeredge se terminent, Jen parleront à la banque royale pour voir s'ils continueront à fournir le placement. HRDC en outre de approche (ressources humaines quelque chose le Canada) pour obtenir le placement de personnel (qui serait plus flexible).
b) Le Zine est en cours de développement : « I3 » - c'est une nouvelle manière de regarder des articles de TIG. Le besoin souligné par Nick de voir ceci en tant qu'une de beaucoup de manières de regarder des articles de TIG, peut-être des assistances occidentales visées. Le zine en ligne a pu être traduit en magasin de papier à l'avenir.
c) Mike et Jen ont rencontré Compaq Canada aujourd'hui. Ils étaient très de support, bien que dans la transition due à la fusion avec la HP. Dans à court terme, probablement substance canadienne de soutien, y compris le laboratoire d'ordinateur au bureau de Toronto. Dans la volonté à plus long terme reliez aux personnes globales, pourrait fournir la valeur environ $75.000 de la substance d'ordinateur à différents projets que nous recommandons.
2. Nick a remercié Jen et Mike d'envoyer $$
3. Paquet de représentant de la jeunesse et structure (inc. Melbourne)
a) Jennifer produit actuellement un résumé de TIG qui aidera à clarifier des choses.
b) Nick reformulera la substance de structure que Derek avait produite, inc. mission et ainsi de suite.
c) Nous raffinerons le concept des équipes et de la jeunesse Reps de TIG de TIG. La jeunesse Reps dans chaque pays sera donnée les descriptions des fonctions bien définies et normalisées qui alignent avec les activités économiques concrètes de TIG de trop-être (IE. la communauté, enabler de technologie, éducation etc.). Nous pouvons avoir plus d'un représentant de la jeunesse par pays, mais il y aura un procédé de choix plus complet. Des équipes de TIG seront remplacées par Action Groups qui forment autour des projets ou des questions d'intérêt à ces membres spécifiques (et de ceci ne pourrait pas simplement être dans un lieu géographique, mais les équipes virtuelles autour du monde). La jeunesse Reps de TIG sera là pour jouer un rôle facilitatory, selon leur mission définie. Nick à augmenter et clarifier.
L'équipe parlée de Melbourne et le problème étant là que l'équipe formée et alors demandée ce qu'elles ont dû faire, et le représentant de la jeunesse ont eu le rôle difficile d'aider un groupe de personnes de disperate (qui étaient déjà en activité par une multitude de moyens) viennent à un consensus au sujet d'activité de groupe : améliorez que nous pouvons juste développer leurs propres projets et les réunir où nous pouvons… Jen est réponse d'écriture à Michelle.
4. Associations
a) Réseau africain - nous promouvrons le Parlement à nos membres une fois que le contrat est signé avec AYP. Nous poursuivons également également d'autres événements et orgs pour faire partie du réseau. Jen a indiqué que les Canadiens accueillant le sommet de G8 en juin lancent une grande initiative de l'Afrique : elle poursuivra cela pour des possibilités de placement.
b) Modèle l'ONU - suggéré que Camilla du R-U ou quelqu'un d'autre lié à THIMUN pourrait être intéressé à jouer un rôle de modèle de gestion de projet avec ce projet ; vouloir entendre en arrière de Jarra.
c) IYPS - Nick les a notés nous donnera un dossier et $3000 pour développer leur site Web (fondamentalement Co-marqué base de données d'événements) que nous accueillons déjà dans le format de la température.
d) AIDS.TIG - convenu qu'AIDS.TIG est peut-être pas le meilleur nom, également convenu que nous n'avions pas l'habitude le nom d'un org/d'associé existants dans le projet pour assurer la neutralité.
5. Les projets nous comportent
sont à la même page au sujet de la nécessité de créer une région de projets de l'emplacement de TIG, en effet partie est déjà créés sous mon profil. Nick forwaded le modèle spécifique de champ de Mike. Le besoin identifié par Jen de classer des projets par catégorie aussi.
6. Le futur projet
la base de la jeunesse d'a)/le filet internationaux Ben action
de la jeunesse signale que YouthActionNet obtiennent très peu de visiteurs (YAN a appelé et a demandé à comparer la stat et a été étonné combien de visiteurs nous obtenons). Mike et Jen étaient d'accord avec la poussée de PowerPoint de Nick, et nous alignerons une réunion de téléphone de 3 manières avec Rick peu, Jen et Nick pour leur présenter le PowerPoint. Nick pour envoyer également Jen et Mike son programme d'université.
b) le Conseil 4H/au Tableau
Mike pour avoir la téléréunion avec eux lundi. Nick suggère que le cadre principal pour l'association nous inclue développant leur technologie, actionnant leurs bases de données etc. Nous pourrions contrôler ou plus loin développer leur emplacement. Il frustre généralement qu'ils reproduisent notre effort. Pas trop peut être fait.
c) Projet soutenable UNEP de site Web de consommation
d'UNEP à obtenir de nouveau à nous sur cette valeur de projet environ $30.000. Nick au followup encore à s'assurer ils répondent AUSSITÔT QUE POSSIBLE.
d) D'enfants globaux de poteau du 11 projet d'une année d'association septembre.
Nick discutant avec Barry d'idée de GlobalKids de créer la discussion en ligne autour du 11 septembre avec un foyer international ; impliquer potentiellement un projet visuel de communication. Nick pour développer le résumé et à pousser le long de…
Jen a évoqué le potentiel de synergiser avec notre projet de raccordements de salle de classe -- Le TIG développe un projet avec le financement à partir du département canadien de la citoyenneté et de l'immigration, pour créer la communauté en ligne pour l'éducation de paix dans la salle de classe….
e) Bruit Canada - projet principal de ~$2m pour accentuer la culture de la jeunesse par les médias, sous les auspices du Conseil du Canada pour les arts. Modelé sur l'exemple australien. Nous pourrions obtenir le grand composant externalisé avec etc. technolgy/principal. Nick a écrit leur et au cc'd Jen. Nick pour expédier l'E-mail encore.
f) AEISEC - raccordement avec la grande organisation d'étudiant. ils nous ont approchés pour collaborer. entaille à répondre aux manières d'E-mail et d'ensembles que nous pourrions travailler ensemble, en particulier développement de technologie.
7. La promotion de nos possibilités de technologie à la jeunesse Orgs
AIESEC est un exemple d'un groupe qui a le placement mais n'a pas su que le TIG était autour ainsi a pris leurs affaires de technologie ailleurs. Le besoin d'assurer ceci ne se produit pas à l'avenir. Nous créerons une brochure qui décrit nos possibilités et mission et l'envoyons aux gens responsables de la technologie à tous les orgs principaux de la jeunesse dans le monde
8. Entourage global de discussion
de structures de TIG charitable contre non-charitable. employer actuellement le YMCA comme agent fiscal charitable pour une certaine substance au Canada. À plus long terme nous devrions créer un autre org charitable au Canada pour soutenir notre inc. sans but lucratif un.
Le besoin de Skadden Arps d'obtenir de nouveau à Nick au sujet de : protocole d'accord pour Nation1 Foundation Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen et Mike doivent envoyer à Skadden tous leurs contrats/finances etc.
9. Le sommet du monde sur la société de l'information
ceci est un sommet important de l'ONU se produisant à Genève en décembre (12-16ème) 2003 et à Tunis en 2005 les explorer numériques se divisent et « le visage humain de la technologie ».
Nous travaillerons fortement à la participation coordinating de la jeunesse dans cette conférence. Nous pourrions accueillir un sommet de la jeunesse de WSIS pour aller avec l'événement de Genève en 2003, cela pourrait incorporer ou accroître un sommet de TIG (de jeunesse Reps). Nick a écrit à l'union de télécommunications internationale qui sont les centres serveurs pour explorer des options. Nous devrions explorer aller à la réunion préparatoire 15ème du juillet 2002 à Genève.
[Note : Nick également réglé vers le haut de WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com cet après-midi à agir en tant qu'une liste de expédition pour la discussion parmi les jeunes intéressés à faire partie du processus]
une certaine discussion au sujet du large concept de réunir 20 jeunes membres actifs/jeunesse Reps de TIG à Toronto/ville différente pour la formation etc.
10. Sommet uni d'universités du monde. Résolu qu'il serait bon si Ezekiel et Camilla étaient nos représentants, plus Nick s'il voulait aller. Nick fera également la recommandation à Jen et à Mike de savoir si nous devrions les nommer. Doit faire ceci tout à fait rapidement.
11. La base globale de catalyseur - ont indiqué qu'ils ne veulent pas placer notre proposition car elle est trop semblable à d'autres choses qu'ils font. (Tad d'A frustrant). Nous garderons en contact avec eux et suggérerons d'autres projets de détail à eux ou en effet à certains de nos programmes (comme l'Afrique etc.).
12. Nick discuté venant à Toronto en juin, restant dans la maison urbaine du microphone. La possibilité en outre discutée d'Emily Kumpel venant pour travailler avec TIG, celui serait bonne et nous devrions l'explorer. Nick pour lui demander les besoins. Jen au followup aussi.
13. La discussion autour de créer un service d'information spécifique culturel/de pays a contribué à par les utilisateurs sur l'emplacement de TIG. La volonté de Jen écrit quelques idées -- nous entrerons complètement dans ceci quand Nick arrive à Toronto.
En outre comment ceci pourrait lier à une ressource d'échange et de voyage de la jeunesse et à éducatif et toutes les sortes d'autres choses ! :)

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students

YOHAAN

- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand

NICOLE

- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM

- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision

- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?

Marketing Strategies
Letter in faculty boxes
Listserves
Clubs
What are our assumptions?
Diversity @ York â we are one of the most multicultural communities
Level of student engagement
Commuter culture
People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties
People are not very inspired
No central place of information about different activities at York
If we do this, we would be the central source of information?
Do students feel frustrated about the York experience?
What kind of people are students interested in hearing from?
Students are apathetic and indifferent
NEED: Report on the state of the University. How can we help to implement the recommendations?!
⢠What are the demographics of York Students?

My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...

1. Mise à jour sur le TIG de Jen et de Mike.
a) Les internats de Careeredge se terminent, Jen parleront à la banque royale pour voir s'ils continueront à fournir le placement. HRDC en outre de approche (ressources humaines quelque chose le Canada) pour obtenir le placement de personnel (qui serait plus flexible).
b) Le Zine est en cours de développement : « I3 » - c'est une nouvelle manière de regarder des articles de TIG. Le besoin souligné par Nick de voir ceci en tant qu'une de beaucoup de manières de regarder des articles de TIG, peut-être des assistances occidentales visées. Le zine en ligne a pu être traduit en magasin de papier à l'avenir.
c) Mike et Jen ont rencontré Compaq Canada aujourd'hui. Ils étaient très de support, bien que dans la transition due à la fusion avec la HP. Dans à court terme, probablement substance canadienne de soutien, y compris le laboratoire d'ordinateur au bureau de Toronto. Dans la volonté à plus long terme reliez aux personnes globales, pourrait fournir la valeur environ $75.000 de la substance d'ordinateur à différents projets que nous recommandons.
2. Nick a remercié Jen et Mike d'envoyer $$
3. Paquet de représentant de la jeunesse et structure (inc. Melbourne)
a) Jennifer produit actuellement un résumé de TIG qui aidera à clarifier des choses.
b) Nick reformulera la substance de structure que Derek avait produite, inc. mission et ainsi de suite.
c) Nous raffinerons le concept des équipes et de la jeunesse Reps de TIG de TIG. La jeunesse Reps dans chaque pays sera donnée les descriptions des fonctions bien définies et normalisées qui alignent avec les activités économiques concrètes de TIG de trop-être (IE. la communauté, enabler de technologie, éducation etc.). Nous pouvons avoir plus d'un représentant de la jeunesse par pays, mais il y aura un procédé de choix plus complet. Des équipes de TIG seront remplacées par Action Groups qui forment autour des projets ou des questions d'intérêt à ces membres spécifiques (et de ceci ne pourrait pas simplement être dans un lieu géographique, mais les équipes virtuelles autour du monde). La jeunesse Reps de TIG sera là pour jouer un rôle facilitatory, selon leur mission définie. Nick à augmenter et clarifier.
L'équipe parlée de Melbourne et le problème étant là que l'équipe formée et alors demandée ce qu'elles ont dû faire, et le représentant de la jeunesse ont eu le rôle difficile d'aider un groupe de personnes de disperate (qui étaient déjà en activité par une multitude de moyens) viennent à un consensus au sujet d'activité de groupe : améliorez que nous pouvons juste développer leurs propres projets et les réunir où nous pouvons… Jen est réponse d'écriture à Michelle.
4. Associations
a) Réseau africain - nous promouvrons le Parlement à nos membres une fois que le contrat est signé avec AYP. Nous poursuivons également également d'autres événements et orgs pour faire partie du réseau. Jen a indiqué que les Canadiens accueillant le sommet de G8 en juin lancent une grande initiative de l'Afrique : elle poursuivra cela pour des possibilités de placement.
b) Modèle l'ONU - suggéré que Camilla du R-U ou quelqu'un d'autre lié à THIMUN pourrait être intéressé à jouer un rôle de modèle de gestion de projet avec ce projet ; vouloir entendre en arrière de Jarra.
c) IYPS - Nick les a notés nous donnera un dossier et $3000 pour développer leur site Web (fondamentalement Co-marqué base de données d'événements) que nous accueillons déjà dans le format de la température.
d) AIDS.TIG - convenu qu'AIDS.TIG est peut-être pas le meilleur nom, également convenu que nous n'avions pas l'habitude le nom d'un org/d'associé existants dans le projet pour assurer la neutralité.
5. Les projets nous comportent
sont à la même page au sujet de la nécessité de créer une région de projets de l'emplacement de TIG, en effet partie est déjà créés sous mon profil. Nick forwaded le modèle spécifique de champ de Mike. Le besoin identifié par Jen de classer des projets par catégorie aussi.
6. Le futur projet
la base de la jeunesse d'a)/le filet internationaux Ben action
de la jeunesse signale que YouthActionNet obtiennent très peu de visiteurs (YAN a appelé et a demandé à comparer la stat et a été étonné combien de visiteurs nous obtenons). Mike et Jen étaient d'accord avec la poussée de PowerPoint de Nick, et nous alignerons une réunion de téléphone de 3 manières avec Rick peu, Jen et Nick pour leur présenter le PowerPoint. Nick pour envoyer également Jen et Mike son programme d'université.
b) le Conseil 4H/au Tableau
Mike pour avoir la téléréunion avec eux lundi. Nick suggère que le cadre principal pour l'association nous inclue développant leur technologie, actionnant leurs bases de données etc. Nous pourrions contrôler ou plus loin développer leur emplacement. Il frustre généralement qu'ils reproduisent notre effort. Pas trop peut être fait.
c) Projet soutenable UNEP de site Web de consommation
d'UNEP à obtenir de nouveau à nous sur cette valeur de projet environ $30.000. Nick au followup encore à s'assurer ils répondent AUSSITÔT QUE POSSIBLE.
d) D'enfants globaux de poteau du 11 projet d'une année d'association septembre.
Nick discutant avec Barry d'idée de GlobalKids de créer la discussion en ligne autour du 11 septembre avec un foyer international ; impliquer potentiellement un projet visuel de communication. Nick pour développer le résumé et à pousser le long de…
Jen a évoqué le potentiel de synergiser avec notre projet de raccordements de salle de classe -- Le TIG développe un projet avec le financement à partir du département canadien de la citoyenneté et de l'immigration, pour créer la communauté en ligne pour l'éducation de paix dans la salle de classe….
e) Bruit Canada - projet principal de ~$2m pour accentuer la culture de la jeunesse par les médias, sous les auspices du Conseil du Canada pour les arts. Modelé sur l'exemple australien. Nous pourrions obtenir le grand composant externalisé avec etc. technolgy/principal. Nick a écrit leur et au cc'd Jen. Nick pour expédier l'E-mail encore.
f) AEISEC - raccordement avec la grande organisation d'étudiant. ils nous ont approchés pour collaborer. entaille à répondre aux manières d'E-mail et d'ensembles que nous pourrions travailler ensemble, en particulier développement de technologie.
7. La promotion de nos possibilités de technologie à la jeunesse Orgs
AIESEC est un exemple d'un groupe qui a le placement mais n'a pas su que le TIG était autour ainsi a pris leurs affaires de technologie ailleurs. Le besoin d'assurer ceci ne se produit pas à l'avenir. Nous créerons une brochure qui décrit nos possibilités et mission et l'envoyons aux gens responsables de la technologie à tous les orgs principaux de la jeunesse dans le monde
8. Entourage global de discussion
de structures de TIG charitable contre non-charitable. employer actuellement le YMCA comme agent fiscal charitable pour une certaine substance au Canada. À plus long terme nous devrions créer un autre org charitable au Canada pour soutenir notre inc. sans but lucratif un.
Le besoin de Skadden Arps d'obtenir de nouveau à Nick au sujet de : protocole d'accord pour Nation1 Foundation Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen et Mike doivent envoyer à Skadden tous leurs contrats/finances etc.
9. Le sommet du monde sur la société de l'information
ceci est un sommet important de l'ONU se produisant à Genève en décembre (12-16ème) 2003 et à Tunis en 2005 les explorer numériques se divisent et « le visage humain de la technologie ».
Nous travaillerons fortement à la participation coordinating de la jeunesse dans cette conférence. Nous pourrions accueillir un sommet de la jeunesse de WSIS pour aller avec l'événement de Genève en 2003, cela pourrait incorporer ou accroître un sommet de TIG (de jeunesse Reps). Nick a écrit à l'union de télécommunications internationale qui sont les centres serveurs pour explorer des options. Nous devrions explorer aller à la réunion préparatoire 15ème du juillet 2002 à Genève.
[Note : Nick également réglé vers le haut de WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com cet après-midi à agir en tant qu'une liste de expédition pour la discussion parmi les jeunes intéressés à faire partie du processus]
une certaine discussion au sujet du large concept de réunir 20 jeunes membres actifs/jeunesse Reps de TIG à Toronto/ville différente pour la formation etc.
10. Sommet uni d'universités du monde. Résolu qu'il serait bon si Ezekiel et Camilla étaient nos représentants, plus Nick s'il voulait aller. Nick fera également la recommandation à Jen et à Mike de savoir si nous devrions les nommer. Doit faire ceci tout à fait rapidement.
11. La base globale de catalyseur - ont indiqué qu'ils ne veulent pas placer notre proposition car elle est trop semblable à d'autres choses qu'ils font. (Tad d'A frustrant). Nous garderons en contact avec eux et suggérerons d'autres projets de détail à eux ou en effet à certains de nos programmes (comme l'Afrique etc.).
12. Nick discuté venant à Toronto en juin, restant dans la maison urbaine du microphone. La possibilité en outre discutée d'Emily Kumpel venant pour travailler avec TIG, celui serait bonne et nous devrions l'explorer. Nick pour lui demander les besoins. Jen au followup aussi.
13. La discussion autour de créer un service d'information spécifique culturel/de pays a contribué à par les utilisateurs sur l'emplacement de TIG. La volonté de Jen écrit quelques idées -- nous entrerons complètement dans ceci quand Nick arrive à Toronto.
En outre comment ceci pourrait lier à une ressource d'échange et de voyage de la jeunesse et à éducatif et toutes les sortes d'autres choses ! :)
14. Le rapport annuel - se tiendra outre de faire ceci pour maintenant jusqu'à ce que le période comptable de comptabilisation ait été placé.

Menaces

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN

- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA

Marketing Strategies
Letter in faculty boxes
Listserves
Clubs
What are our assumptions?
Diversity @ York â we are one of the most multicultural communities
Level of student engagement
Commuter culture
People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties
People are not very inspired
No central place of information about different activities at York
If we do this, we would be the central source of information?
Do students feel frustrated about the York experience?
What kind of people are students interested in hearing from?
Students are apathetic and indifferent
NEED: Report on the state of the University. How can we help to implement the recommendations?!
⢠What are the demographics of York Students?

Spends the night writing this massive progress report...
Jen feels overwhelmed. Mind is spinning with ideas...and hopes...and a few fears
What's next she wonders...
What's next?
My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...

- reunión con Ron de Compaq sobre el digital se divide en Canadá - cómo puede el TIG ayudar a tratarlo?
- reunión con TAD de la juventud para la cordura ambiental
- discusión larga con la mella del AU
1. Actualización en el TIG de Jen y de Mike.
a) Los puestos de interno de Careeredge están acabando, Jen hablarán con el banco real para considerar si continuarán proporcionando el financiamiento. HRDC también que se acerca (recursos humanos algo Canadá) para conseguir el financiamiento del personal (que sería más flexible).
b) El Zine está en el desarrollo: “I3” - es una nueva manera de mirar los artículos del TIG. Necesidad acentuada mella de ver esto como una de muchas maneras de ver los artículos del TIG, a audiencias occidentales quizás dirigidas. El zine en línea se podía traducir al compartimiento de papel en el futuro.
c) Mike y Jen satisficieron con Compaq Canadá hoy. Eran muy de apoyo, aunque en la transición debido a la fusión con CABALLOS DE FUERZA. En a corto plazo, probablemente materia canadiense de la ayuda, incluyendo laboratorio de la computadora en la oficina de Toronto. En voluntad de más largo plazo conecte con la gente global, podría proporcionar el valor cerca de $75.000 de la materia de la computadora a diversos proyectos que recomendamos.
2. Melle a Jen agradecido y a Mike para enviar $$
3. Paquete y estructura (inc. del representante de la juventud Melbourne)
a) Jennifer está produciendo actualmente un resumen del TIG que ayude a clarificar cosas.
b) La mella rehará la materia que Derek había producido, inc. de la estructura misión y así sucesivamente.
c) Refinaremos el concepto de los equipos y de la juventud Reps del TIG del TIG. La juventud Reps en cada país será dada las descripciones de las funciones bien definidas y estandardizadas que alinean con las actividades económicas concretas del TIG del demasiado-ser (IE. comunidad, enabler del tech, educación etc). Podemos tener más de un representante de la juventud por país, pero habrá un proceso de selección más comprensivo. A Action Groups substituirán a los equipos del TIG que forman alrededor de proyectos o de aplicaciones el interés a esos miembros específicos (y éste no pudo apenas estar en un locale geográfico, sino equipos virtuales alrededor del mundo). La juventud Reps del TIG será allí desempeñar un papel facilitatory, según su misión definida. Mella a ampliarse y a clarificar.
El equipo hablado de Melbourne y el problema allí que es que el equipo formado y después preguntado lo que tuvieron que hacer, y el representante de la juventud tenían papel difícil de ayudar a un grupo de gente (quiénes del disperate eran ya activos en una variedad de maneras) vienen a un consenso sobre actividad del grupo: mejore que podemos apenas desarrollar sus propios proyectos y traerlos juntos donde podemos… Jen es respuesta de la escritura a Michelle.
4. Sociedades
a) Red africana - promoveremos a parlamento a nuestros miembros una vez que el contrato se firme con AYP. También también perseguimos otros acontecimientos y orgs para ser parte de la red. Jen dijo que los canadienses que reciben la cumbre G8 en junio están lanzando una iniciativa grande de África: ella perseguirá eso para las posibilidades de financiamiento.
b) Modelo la O.N.U - sugerido que Camilla del Reino Unido o algún otro asociado a THIMUN pudiera estar interesado en desempeñar un papel del estilo de la gerencia de proyecto con este proyecto; deseo oír detrás de Jarra.
c) IYPS - La mella los observó nos dará un escrito y $3000 para desarrollar su Web site (básicamente co-calificado base de datos de los acontecimientos) que estamos recibiendo ya en formato de la temperatura.
d) AIDS.TIG - convenido que AIDS.TIG es quizás no el mejor nombre, también convenido que no utilizaríamos el nombre de un org/de un socio existentes en el proyecto para asegurar neutralidad.
5. Los proyectos nos ofrecen
están en la misma página sobre la necesidad de crear un área de los proyectos del sitio del TIG, parte se crean de hecho ya bajo mi perfil. La mella forwaded el modelo específico del campo de Mike. Necesidad identificada Jen de categorizar proyectos también.
6. El futuro proyecta
la fundación/la red internacionales Ben de la juventud de a) de la acción
de la juventud divulga que YouthActionNet está consiguiendo muy a pocos visitantes (YAN llamó y pidió comparar el stats y fue sorprendido cuántos visitantes conseguimos). Mike y Jen convinieron con el empuje de PowerPoint de la mella, y alinearemos una reunión del teléfono de 3 maneras con Rick poco, Jen y mella para presentarles el PowerPoint. Mella también para enviar a Jen y a Mike su horario de la universidad.
b) consejo 4H/en la tabla
Mike para tener tele-meeting con ellos lunes. La mella sugiere que el marco dominante para la sociedad nos incluya que desarrollan su tecnología, accionando sus bases de datos etc. Podríamos manejar o desarrollar más lejos su sitio. Está frustrando generalmente que duplican nuestro esfuerzo. No demasiado puede ser hecho.
c) Proyecto sostenible UNEP del Web site de la consumición
de UNEP a conseguir de nuevo a nosotros en este valor del proyecto cerca de $30.000. Mella al followup otra vez a cerciorarse de responden CUANTO ANTES.
d) Cabritos globales proyecto de la sociedad de sept. del 11 del poste de 1 año.
Melle discutir con Barry de la idea de GlobalKids de crear la discusión en línea alrededor del 11 de septiembre con un foco internacional; potencialmente participación de un proyecto video de la comunicación. Mella para desarrollar el resumen y a empujar a lo largo…
Jen trajo para arriba potencial de sinergizar con nuestro proyecto de las conexiones de la sala de clase -- El TIG está desarrollando un proyecto con el financiamiento del departamento canadiense de la ciudadanía y de la inmigración, para crear a comunidad en línea para la educación de la paz en sala de clase….
e) Ruido Canadá - proyecto importante de ~$2m para destacar la cultura de la juventud con los medios, bajo auspicios del consejo de Canadá para los artes. Modelado en ejemplo australiano. Podríamos conseguir grandes outsourced el componente con el etc. technolgy/backend. La mella escribió ellos y a cc'd Jen. Mella para remitir E-mail otra vez.
f) AEISEC - conexión con la organización grande del estudiante. nos acercaron para colaborar. mella a responder a las maneras que podríamos trabajar juntas, particularmente desarrollo del E-mail y de los contornos de la tecnología.
7. Promover nuestras capacidades del tech a la juventud Orgs
AIESEC es un ejemplo de un grupo que tenga financiamiento pero no sabía que el TIG estaba alrededor así que que tomó su negocio del tech a otra parte. La necesidad de asegurar esto no sucede en el futuro. Crearemos un folleto que describa nuestras capacidades y misión y lo enviamos a la gente responsable de Tech en todos los orgs importantes de la juventud en el mundo
8. El rodear global de la discusión
de las estructuras del TIG caritativo contra no-caritativo. actualmente usar el YMCA como agente fiscal caritativo para un poco de materia en Canadá. De más largo plazo debemos crear otro org caritativo en Canadá para apoyar nuestro inc. no lucrativo uno.
Necesidad de Skadden Arps de conseguir de nuevo a la mella re: memorándum de la comprensión para Nation1 Foundation Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen y Mike necesitan enviar Skadden todos sus contratos/financier0es etc.
9. La cumbre del mundo en la sociedad de información
esto es una cumbre importante de la O.N.U que sucede en Ginebra en diciembre (12-décimosexto) 2003 y en Túnez en 2005 explorar digital se divide y la “cara humana de la tecnología”.
Trabajaremos fuertemente en la implicación coordinating de la juventud en esta conferencia. Podríamos recibir una cumbre de la juventud de WSIS para ir junto con el acontecimiento de Ginebra en 2003, ése podría incorporar o leverage una cumbre del TIG (de la juventud Reps). La mella ha escrito a la unión de telecomunicaciones internacional que es los anfitriones para explorar opciones. Debemos explorar ir a la reunión preparatoria décimo quinta del julio de 2002 en Ginebra.
[Nota: Mella también fijada encima de WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com esta tarde a actuar como una lista que envía para la discusión entre la gente joven interesada en ser parte del proceso]
una cierta discusión sobre el amplio concepto de traer a 20 miembros activos jóvenes/juventud Reps de TIG junto en Toronto/otra ciudad para el entrenamiento etc.
10. Cumbre unida de las universidades del mundo. Resuelto que sería bueno si Ezekiel y Camilla eran nuestros representantes, más la mella si él deseó ir. La mella también hará la recomendación a Jen y a Mike si debemos nominarlos. Debe hacer esto absolutamente rápidamente.
11. La fundación global del catalizador - ha dicho que no desean financiar nuestra oferta pues es demasiado similar a otras cosas que están haciendo. (Tad de A que frustra). Guardaremos en contacto con ellos y sugeriremos otros proyectos del detalle a ellos o de hecho a algunos de nuestros programas (como África etc).
12. Mella discutida que viene a Toronto en junio, permaneciendo en la casa urbana del micrófono. La posibilidad también discutida de Emily Kumpel que viene trabajar con TIG, de que sería buena y debemos explorarlo. Mella para pedirle necesidades. Jen al followup también.
13. La discusión alrededor de crear un servicio informativo específico cultural/del país contribuyó por a los usuarios en sitio del TIG. La voluntad de Jen escribe algunas ideas -- entraremos por completo esto cuando la mella consigue a Toronto.
¡También cómo esto podría ligarse a un recurso del intercambio y del recorrido de la juventud y a educativo y todas las clases de otras cosas! :)
14. El informe anual - sostendrá de hacer esto para ahora hasta que se ha fijado el período de contabilización.

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN
- How to start a club - resources
- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming
- pamphlet when you are at York

Clubs
What are our assumptions?
Diversity @ York â we are one of the most multicultural communities
Level of student engagement
Commuter culture
People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties
People are not very inspired
No central place of information about different activities at York
If we do this, we would be the central source of information?
Do students feel frustrated about the York experience?
What kind of people are students interested in hearing from?
Students are apathetic and indifferent
NEED: Report on the state of the University. How can we help to implement the recommendations?!
⢠What are the demographics of York Students?

What's next she wonders...
What's next?
My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...

- reunión con Ron de Compaq sobre el digital se divide en Canadá - cómo puede el TIG ayudar a tratarlo?
- reunión con TAD de la juventud para la cordura ambiental
- discusión larga con la mella del AU
1. Actualización en el TIG de Jen y de Mike.
a) Los puestos de interno de Careeredge están acabando, Jen hablarán con el banco real para considerar si continuarán proporcionando el financiamiento. HRDC también que se acerca (recursos humanos algo Canadá) para conseguir el financiamiento del personal (que sería más flexible).
b) El Zine está en el desarrollo: “I3” - es una nueva manera de mirar los artículos del TIG. Necesidad acentuada mella de ver esto como una de muchas maneras de ver los artículos del TIG, a audiencias occidentales quizás dirigidas. El zine en línea se podía traducir al compartimiento de papel en el futuro.
c) Mike y Jen satisficieron con Compaq Canadá hoy. Eran muy de apoyo, aunque en la transición debido a la fusión con CABALLOS DE FUERZA. En a corto plazo, probablemente materia canadiense de la ayuda, incluyendo laboratorio de la computadora en la oficina de Toronto. En voluntad de más largo plazo conecte con la gente global, podría proporcionar el valor cerca de $75.000 de la materia de la computadora a diversos proyectos que recomendamos.
2. Melle a Jen agradecido y a Mike para enviar $$
3. Paquete y estructura (inc. del representante de la juventud Melbourne)
a) Jennifer está produciendo actualmente un resumen del TIG que ayude a clarificar cosas.
b) La mella rehará la materia que Derek había producido, inc. de la estructura misión y así sucesivamente.
c) Refinaremos el concepto de los equipos y de la juventud Reps del TIG del TIG. La juventud Reps en cada país será dada las descripciones de las funciones bien definidas y estandardizadas que alinean con las actividades económicas concretas del TIG del demasiado-ser (IE. comunidad, enabler del tech, educación etc). Podemos tener más de un representante de la juventud por país, pero habrá un proceso de selección más comprensivo. A Action Groups substituirán a los equipos del TIG que forman alrededor de proyectos o de aplicaciones el interés a esos miembros específicos (y éste no pudo apenas estar en un locale geográfico, sino equipos virtuales alrededor del mundo). La juventud Reps del TIG será allí desempeñar un papel facilitatory, según su misión definida. Mella a ampliarse y a clarificar.
El equipo hablado de Melbourne y el problema allí que es que el equipo formado y después preguntado lo que tuvieron que hacer, y el representante de la juventud tenían papel difícil de ayudar a un grupo de gente (quiénes del disperate eran ya activos en una variedad de maneras) vienen a un consenso sobre actividad del grupo: mejore que podemos apenas desarrollar sus propios proyectos y traerlos juntos donde podemos… Jen es respuesta de la escritura a Michelle.
4. Sociedades
a) Red africana - promoveremos a parlamento a nuestros miembros una vez que el contrato se firme con AYP. También también perseguimos otros acontecimientos y orgs para ser parte de la red. Jen dijo que los canadienses que reciben la cumbre G8 en junio están lanzando una iniciativa grande de África: ella perseguirá eso para las posibilidades de financiamiento.
b) Modelo la O.N.U - sugerido que Camilla del Reino Unido o algún otro asociado a THIMUN pudiera estar interesado en desempeñar un papel del estilo de la gerencia de proyecto con este proyecto; deseo oír detrás de Jarra.
c) IYPS - La mella los observó nos dará un escrito y $3000 para desarrollar su Web site (básicamente co-calificado base de datos de los acontecimientos) que estamos recibiendo ya en formato de la temperatura.
d) AIDS.TIG - convenido que AIDS.TIG es quizás no el mejor nombre, también convenido que no utilizaríamos el nombre de un org/de un socio existentes en el proyecto para asegurar neutralidad.
5. Los proyectos nos ofrecen
están en la misma página sobre la necesidad de crear un área de los proyectos del sitio del TIG, parte se crean de hecho ya bajo mi perfil. La mella forwaded el modelo específico del campo de Mike. Necesidad identificada Jen de categorizar proyectos también.
6. El futuro proyecta
la fundación/la red internacionales Ben de la juventud de a) de la acción
de la juventud divulga que YouthActionNet está consiguiendo muy a pocos visitantes (YAN llamó y pidió comparar el stats y fue sorprendido cuántos visitantes conseguimos). Mike y Jen convinieron con el empuje de PowerPoint de la mella, y alinearemos una reunión del teléfono de 3 maneras con Rick poco, Jen y mella para presentarles el PowerPoint. Mella también para enviar a Jen y a Mike su horario de la universidad.
b) consejo 4H/en la tabla
Mike para tener tele-meeting con ellos lunes. La mella sugiere que el marco dominante para la sociedad nos incluya que desarrollan su tecnología, accionando sus bases de datos etc. Podríamos manejar o desarrollar más lejos su sitio. Está frustrando generalmente que duplican nuestro esfuerzo. No demasiado puede ser hecho.
c) Proyecto sostenible UNEP del Web site de la consumición
de UNEP a conseguir de nuevo a nosotros en este valor del proyecto cerca de $30.000. Mella al followup otra vez a cerciorarse de responden CUANTO ANTES.
d) Cabritos globales proyecto de la sociedad de sept. del 11 del poste de 1 año.
Melle discutir con Barry de la idea de GlobalKids de crear la discusión en línea alrededor del 11 de septiembre con un foco internacional; potencialmente participación de un proyecto video de la comunicación. Mella para desarrollar el resumen y a empujar a lo largo…
Jen trajo para arriba potencial de sinergizar con nuestro proyecto de las conexiones de la sala de clase -- El TIG está desarrollando un proyecto con el financiamiento del departamento canadiense de la ciudadanía y de la inmigración, para crear a comunidad en línea para la educación de la paz en sala de clase….
e) Ruido Canadá - proyecto importante de ~$2m para destacar la cultura de la juventud con los medios, bajo auspicios del consejo de Canadá para los artes. Modelado en ejemplo australiano. Podríamos conseguir grandes outsourced el componente con el etc. technolgy/backend. La mella escribió ellos y a cc'd Jen. Mella para remitir E-mail otra vez.
f) AEISEC - conexión con la organización grande del estudiante. nos acercaron para colaborar. mella a responder a las maneras que podríamos trabajar juntas, particularmente desarrollo del E-mail y de los contornos de la tecnología.
7. Promover nuestras capacidades del tech a la juventud Orgs
AIESEC es un ejemplo de un grupo que tenga financiamiento pero no sabía que el TIG estaba alrededor así que que tomó su negocio del tech a otra parte. La necesidad de asegurar esto no sucede en el futuro. Crearemos un folleto que describa nuestras capacidades y misión y lo enviamos a la gente responsable de Tech en todos los orgs importantes de la juventud en el mundo
8. El rodear global de la discusión
de las estructuras del TIG caritativo contra no-caritativo. actualmente usar el YMCA como agente fiscal caritativo para un poco de materia en Canadá. De más largo plazo debemos crear otro org caritativo en Canadá para apoyar nuestro inc. no lucrativo uno.
Necesidad de Skadden Arps de conseguir de nuevo a la mella re: memorándum de la comprensión para Nation1 Foundation Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen y Mike necesitan enviar Skadden todos sus contratos/financier0es etc.
9. La cumbre del mundo en la sociedad de información
esto es una cumbre importante de la O.N.U que sucede en Ginebra en diciembre (12-décimosexto) 2003 y en Túnez en 2005 explorar digital se divide y la “cara humana de la tecnología”.
Trabajaremos fuertemente en la implicación coordinating de la juventud en esta conferencia. Podríamos recibir una cumbre de la juventud de WSIS para ir junto con el acontecimiento de Ginebra en 2003, ése podría incorporar o leverage una cumbre del TIG (de la juventud Reps). La mella ha escrito a la unión de telecomunicaciones internacional que es los anfitriones para explorar opciones. Debemos explorar ir a la reunión preparatoria décimo quinta del julio de 2002 en Ginebra.
[Nota: Mella también fijada encima de WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com esta tarde a actuar como una lista que envía para la discusión entre la gente joven interesada en ser parte del proceso]
una cierta discusión sobre el amplio concepto de traer a 20 miembros activos jóvenes/juventud Reps de TIG junto en Toronto/otra ciudad para el entrenamiento etc.
10. Cumbre unida de las universidades del mundo. Resuelto que sería bueno si Ezekiel y Camilla eran nuestros representantes, más la mella si él deseó ir. La mella también hará la recomendación a Jen y a Mike si debemos nominarlos. Debe hacer esto absolutamente rápidamente.
11. La fundación global del catalizador - ha dicho que no desean financiar nuestra oferta pues es demasiado similar a otras cosas que están haciendo. (Tad de A que frustra). Guardaremos en contacto con ellos y sugeriremos otros proyectos del detalle a ellos o de hecho a algunos de nuestros programas (como África etc).
12. Mella discutida que viene a Toronto en junio, permaneciendo en la casa urbana del micrófono. La posibilidad también discutida de Emily Kumpel que viene trabajar con TIG, de que sería buena y debemos explorarlo. Mella para pedirle necesidades. Jen al followup también.
13. La discusión alrededor de crear un servicio informativo específico cultural/del país contribuyó por a los usuarios en sitio del TIG. La voluntad de Jen escribe algunas ideas -- entraremos por completo esto cuando la mella consigue a Toronto.
¡También cómo esto podría ligarse a un recurso del intercambio y del recorrido de la juventud y a educativo y todas las clases de otras cosas! :)
14. El informe anual - sostendrá de hacer esto para ahora hasta que se ha fijado el período de contabilización.

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN
- How to start a club - resources
- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming
- pamphlet when you are at York
- Advisor
HUSS
- list serve for clubs (clubs@yorku.ca)
- Senate - YORK SPIRIT - huge concern - sustainability of school
- (Contact with President's office)

- discussione lunga con la scalfittura da AU
1. Aggiornamento su TIG da Jen e da Mike.
a) I internships di Careeredge stanno terminando, Jen comunicheranno con banca reale per vedere se continueranno a finanziare. HRDC inoltre d'avvicinamento (risorse umane qualcosa il Canada) per ottenere costituire un fondo per del personale (che sarebbe più flessibile).
b) Lo Zine è in sviluppo: “I3„ - è un nuovo senso di guardare gli articoli di TIG. La scalfittura ha dato risalto alla necessità di vedere questo come uno di molti sensi dell'esame gli articoli di TIG, dei pubblici occidentali forse puntati su. Lo zine in linea ha potuto essere tradotto in scomparto di carta in avvenire.
c) Mike e Jen hanno incontrato oggi Compaq Canada. Erano molto di appoggio, anche se nella transizione dovuto la fusione con l'HP. In di breve durata, probabilmente roba canadese di sostegno, compreso il laboratorio del calcolatore all'ufficio de Toronto. Nella volontà a termine più lungo colleghi con la gente globale, potrebbe fornire il valore circa $75.000 del roba del calcolatore ai progetti che differenti suggeriamo.
2. Scalfisca Jen ringraziato e Mike per la trasmissione del $$
3. Pacchetto del rappresentante della gioventù e struttura (inc Melbourne)
a) Jennifer attualmente sta producendo un sommario di TIG che contribuirà a chiarire le cose.
b) La scalfittura riformulerà il roba che Derek aveva prodotto, inc della struttura missione e così via.
c) Raffineremo il concetto delle squadre di TIG e della gioventù Reps di TIG. La gioventù Reps in ogni paese sarà data le descrizioni del lavoro ben definite e standardizzate che si allineano con le attività economiche concrete di troppo-essere TIG (IE. Comunità, enabler di tecnologia, formazione ecc). Possiamo avere più di un rappresentante della gioventù per il paese, ma ci sarà una procedura di selezione più completa. Le squadre di TIG saranno sostituite tramite Action Groups che formano intorno ai progetti o alle emissioni di interesse a quei membri specifici (e di questo non potrebbe appena essere in un locale geografico, ma in squadre virtuali intorno al mondo). La gioventù Reps di TIG sarà là svolgere un ruolo facilitatory, secondo la loro missione definita. Scalfittura da espandersi e chiarire.
La squadra parlata di de Melbourne ed il problema là che è che la squadra formata ed allora domandata che cosa hanno dovuto fare ed il rappresentante della gioventù hanno avuti ruolo difficile di assistenza del gruppo di persone (chi del disperate erano già attivi in una varietà di sensi) vengono ad un consenso circa attività del gruppo: migliori che possiamo sviluppare i loro propri progetti e riunirli appena dove possiamo… Jen è risposta di scrittura a Michelle.
4. Associazioni
a) Rete africana - promuoveremo il Parlamento ai nostri membri una volta che il contratto è firmato con AYP. Inoltre inoltre perseguiamo altri eventi e orgs per fare parte della rete. Jen ha detto che i canadesi che ospitano la sommità G8 in giugno stanno lanciando un'iniziativa grande dell'Africa: perseguirà quella per le possibilità costituenti un fondo per.
b) Modello NU - suggerito che Camilla dal Regno Unito o qualcun'altro connesso con THIMUN potrebbe essere interessato nello svolgere un ruolo di stile della gestione di progetti con questo progetto; desiderare sentirsi indietro da Jarra.
c) IYPS - La scalfittura li ha notati ci darà un riassunto e $3000 per sviluppare il loro Web site (basicamente co-bollato base di dati di eventi) che già stiamo ospitando nella disposizione di temperatura.
d) AIDS.TIG - accosentito che AIDS.TIG è forse non il nome migliore, anche accosentito che non useremmo il nome di un org/socio attuali nel progetto per accertare la neutralità.
5. I progetti li caratterizzano
sono alla stessa pagina circa la necessità di generare una zona di progetti del luogo di TIG, effettivamente parte già è generato sotto il mio profilo. La scalfittura forwaded il modello specifico del campo di Mike. Necessità accertata Jen categorizzare i progetti anche.
6. Il futuro progetto
il fondamento della gioventù di a)/la rete internazionali Ben azione
della gioventù segnala che YouthActionNet sta ottenendo molto pochi ospiti (YAN denominati e chiesti per confrontare lo stats e sono stati sorprendi quanti ospiti otteniamo). Mike e Jen hanno accosentito con la spinta di PowerPoint della scalfittura ed allineeremo una riunione del telefono di 3 sensi con Rick piccolo, Jen e scalfittura per presentare il PowerPoint loro. Scalfittura anche per trasmettere Jen e Mike il suo programma dell'università.
b) Consiglio 4H/alla Tabella
Mike per avere loro tele-meeting con lunedì. La scalfittura suggerisce che la struttura chiave per l'associazione li include che sviluppiamo la loro tecnologia, alimentante le loro basi di dati ecc. Potremmo controllare o più ulteriormente sviluppare il loro luogo. Sta frustrando generalmente che duplicano il nostro sforzo. Non troppo può essere fatto.
c) Progetto sostenibile UNEP di Web site del consumo
di UNEP da ottenere di nuovo noi su questo valore di progetto circa $30.000. Scalfittura a followup ancora da assicurarsi rispondono APPENA POSSIBILE.
d) Dei capretti globali dell'alberino del 11 progetto di un anno di associazione settembre.
Scalfisca la discussione con Barry dall'idea di GlobalKids generare la discussione in linea intorno all'11 settembre con un fuoco internazionale; potenzialmente coinvolgere un video progetto di comunicazione. Scalfittura per sviluppare sommario e spingere lungo…
Jen ha portato in su il potenziale potenziare con il nostro progetto dei collegamenti dell'aula -- Il TIG sta sviluppando un progetto con costituire un fondo per dal reparto canadese della cittadinanza e dell'immigrazione, per generare la Comunità in linea per formazione di pace in aula….
e) Rumore Canada - progetto principale di ~$2m per evidenziare la coltura della gioventù con i mezzi, sotto gli auspici del Consiglio del Canada per le arti. Modellistico sull'esempio australiano. Potremmo ottenere grandi outsourced il componente con ecc. technolgy/posteriore. La scalfittura ha scritto loro e a cc'd Jen. Scalfittura per spedire ancora E-mail.
f) AEISEC - collegamento con la grande organizzazione dell'allievo. si sono avvicinato per collaborare. scalfittura da rispondere ai sensi che potremmo lavorare insieme, specialmente sviluppo dei profili e di E-mail di tecnologia.
7. Promuovendo le nostre possibilità di tecnologia alla gioventù Orgs
AIESEC è un esempio di un gruppo che ha costituire un fondo per ma che non ha saputo che il TIG era intorno in modo da ha preso il loro commercio di tecnologia altrove. La necessità di accertare questo non accade in avvenire. Genereremo un opuscolo che descrive le nostre possibilità e missione e trasmettiamo alla gente responsabile di tecnologia a tutti i orgs importanti della gioventù nel mondo
8. Circondare globale di discussione
delle strutture di TIG caritatevole contro non-caritatevole. attualmente usando il YMCA come agente fiscale caritatevole per un certo roba nel Canada. A termine più lungo dovremmo generare un altro org caritatevole nel Canada per sostenere la nostra inc senza scopo di lucro una.
Necessità di Skadden Arps di ottenere di nuovo alla scalfittura con riferimento a: memorandum d'intesa per Nation1 Foundation Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen e Mike devono trasmettere a Skadden tutti i loro contratti/financials ecc.
9. La sommità del mondo sulla società di informazioni
questo è una sommità importante di NU che accade a Ginevra in dicembre (12-sedicesimo) del 2003 ed a Tunisi in 2005 esplorazioni digitali si divide e “la faccia umana di tecnologia„.
Lavoreremo fortemente alla partecipazione coordinating della gioventù a questo congresso. Potremmo ospitare una sommità della gioventù di WSIS per andare con l'evento de Ginevra in 2003, quello potrebbe incorporare o leverage una sommità di TIG (della gioventù Reps). La scalfittura ha scritto all'unione di telecomunicazioni internazionale che è gli ospiti per esplorare le opzioni. Dovremmo esplorare andare alla riunione preparatoria quindicesima del luglio 2002 a Ginevra.
[Nota: Scalfittura anche regolata su WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com questo pomeriggio da fungere da una lista spedente per la discussione fra i giovani interessati in fare parte del processo]
una certa discussione circa il vasto concetto di riunire 20 membri attivi giovani/gioventù Reps di TIG a Toronto/altra città per addestramento ecc.
10. Sommità unita delle università del mondo. Risolto che sarebbe buono se Ezekiel e Camilla fossero i nostri rappresentanti, più la scalfittura se desiderasse andare. La scalfittura inoltre farà la raccomandazione a Jen ed a Mike se dovremmo nominarli. Deve fare abbastanza rapidamente questo.
11. Il fondamento globale del catalizzatore - ha detto che non desiderano costituire un fondo per la nostra proposta poichè è troppo simile ad altre cose stanno facendo. (Tad di A che frustra). Manterremo in contatto con loro e suggeriremo altri progetti di particolare a loro o effettivamente ad alcuni dei nostri programmi (come l'Africa ecc).
12. Scalfittura discussa che viene a Toronto in giugno, rimanente nella casa urbana del microfono. La possibilità inoltre discussa di Emily Kumpel che viene funzionare con TIG, quello sarebbe buona e dovremmo esplorarli. Scalfittura per chiederle i bisogni. Jen a followup anche.
13. La discussione intorno a generare un servizio d'informazione specifico del paese/culturale ha contribuito dagli utenti sul luogo di TIG. La volontà di Jen scrive alcune idee -- entreremo in pieno in questo quando la scalfittura ottiene a Toronto.
Inoltre come questo potrebbe collegarsi ad una risorsa di scambio e di corsa della gioventù e ad educativo e tutte le specie di altre cose! :)
14. Il rapporto annuale - terrà fuori del fare questo per ora fino a regolare il periodo di contabilizzazione.

- congresso nazionale di affari e di tecnologia del UofT (abbiamo diretto un'officina che era un successo totale!) qui sono le note dalle sessioni che del gruppo di sblocco abbiamo avuti:
Che occasioni e minacce le seguenti tendenze offrono per i commerci, i governi, la società civile, NGO??

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends

My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...

- discussione lunga con la scalfittura da AU
1. Aggiornamento su TIG da Jen e da Mike.
a) I internships di Careeredge stanno terminando, Jen comunicheranno con banca reale per vedere se continueranno a finanziare. HRDC inoltre d'avvicinamento (risorse umane qualcosa il Canada) per ottenere costituire un fondo per del personale (che sarebbe più flessibile).
b) Lo Zine è in sviluppo: “I3„ - è un nuovo senso di guardare gli articoli di TIG. La scalfittura ha dato risalto alla necessità di vedere questo come uno di molti sensi dell'esame gli articoli di TIG, dei pubblici occidentali forse puntati su. Lo zine in linea ha potuto essere tradotto in scomparto di carta in avvenire.
c) Mike e Jen hanno incontrato oggi Compaq Canada. Erano molto di appoggio, anche se nella transizione dovuto la fusione con l'HP. In di breve durata, probabilmente roba canadese di sostegno, compreso il laboratorio del calcolatore all'ufficio de Toronto. Nella volontà a termine più lungo colleghi con la gente globale, potrebbe fornire il valore circa $75.000 del roba del calcolatore ai progetti che differenti suggeriamo.
2. Scalfisca Jen ringraziato e Mike per la trasmissione del $$
3. Pacchetto del rappresentante della gioventù e struttura (inc Melbourne)
a) Jennifer attualmente sta producendo un sommario di TIG che contribuirà a chiarire le cose.
b) La scalfittura riformulerà il roba che Derek aveva prodotto, inc della struttura missione e così via.
c) Raffineremo il concetto delle squadre di TIG e della gioventù Reps di TIG. La gioventù Reps in ogni paese sarà data le descrizioni del lavoro ben definite e standardizzate che si allineano con le attività economiche concrete di troppo-essere TIG (IE. Comunità, enabler di tecnologia, formazione ecc). Possiamo avere più di un rappresentante della gioventù per il paese, ma ci sarà una procedura di selezione più completa. Le squadre di TIG saranno sostituite tramite Action Groups che formano intorno ai progetti o alle emissioni di interesse a quei membri specifici (e di questo non potrebbe appena essere in un locale geografico, ma in squadre virtuali intorno al mondo). La gioventù Reps di TIG sarà là svolgere un ruolo facilitatory, secondo la loro missione definita. Scalfittura da espandersi e chiarire.
La squadra parlata di de Melbourne ed il problema là che è che la squadra formata ed allora domandata che cosa hanno dovuto fare ed il rappresentante della gioventù hanno avuti ruolo difficile di assistenza del gruppo di persone (chi del disperate erano già attivi in una varietà di sensi) vengono ad un consenso circa attività del gruppo: migliori che possiamo sviluppare i loro propri progetti e riunirli appena dove possiamo… Jen è risposta di scrittura a Michelle.
4. Associazioni
a) Rete africana - promuoveremo il Parlamento ai nostri membri una volta che il contratto è firmato con AYP. Inoltre inoltre perseguiamo altri eventi e orgs per fare parte della rete. Jen ha detto che i canadesi che ospitano la sommità G8 in giugno stanno lanciando un'iniziativa grande dell'Africa: perseguirà quella per le possibilità costituenti un fondo per.
b) Modello NU - suggerito che Camilla dal Regno Unito o qualcun'altro connesso con THIMUN potrebbe essere interessato nello svolgere un ruolo di stile della gestione di progetti con questo progetto; desiderare sentirsi indietro da Jarra.
c) IYPS - La scalfittura li ha notati ci darà un riassunto e $3000 per sviluppare il loro Web site (basicamente co-bollato base di dati di eventi) che già stiamo ospitando nella disposizione di temperatura.
d) AIDS.TIG - accosentito che AIDS.TIG è forse non il nome migliore, anche accosentito che non useremmo il nome di un org/socio attuali nel progetto per accertare la neutralità.
5. I progetti li caratterizzano
sono alla stessa pagina circa la necessità di generare una zona di progetti del luogo di TIG, effettivamente parte già è generato sotto il mio profilo. La scalfittura forwaded il modello specifico del campo di Mike. Necessità accertata Jen categorizzare i progetti anche.
6. Il futuro progetto
il fondamento della gioventù di a)/la rete internazionali Ben azione
della gioventù segnala che YouthActionNet sta ottenendo molto pochi ospiti (YAN denominati e chiesti per confrontare lo stats e sono stati sorprendi quanti ospiti otteniamo). Mike e Jen hanno accosentito con la spinta di PowerPoint della scalfittura ed allineeremo una riunione del telefono di 3 sensi con Rick piccolo, Jen e scalfittura per presentare il PowerPoint loro. Scalfittura anche per trasmettere Jen e Mike il suo programma dell'università.
b) Consiglio 4H/alla Tabella
Mike per avere loro tele-meeting con lunedì. La scalfittura suggerisce che la struttura chiave per l'associazione li include che sviluppiamo la loro tecnologia, alimentante le loro basi di dati ecc. Potremmo controllare o più ulteriormente sviluppare il loro luogo. Sta frustrando generalmente che duplicano il nostro sforzo. Non troppo può essere fatto.
c) Progetto sostenibile UNEP di Web site del consumo
di UNEP da ottenere di nuovo noi su questo valore di progetto circa $30.000. Scalfittura a followup ancora da assicurarsi rispondono APPENA POSSIBILE.
d) Dei capretti globali dell'alberino del 11 progetto di un anno di associazione settembre.
Scalfisca la discussione con Barry dall'idea di GlobalKids generare la discussione in linea intorno all'11 settembre con un fuoco internazionale; potenzialmente coinvolgere un video progetto di comunicazione. Scalfittura per sviluppare sommario e spingere lungo…
Jen ha portato in su il potenziale potenziare con il nostro progetto dei collegamenti dell'aula -- Il TIG sta sviluppando un progetto con costituire un fondo per dal reparto canadese della cittadinanza e dell'immigrazione, per generare la Comunità in linea per formazione di pace in aula….
e) Rumore Canada - progetto principale di ~$2m per evidenziare la coltura della gioventù con i mezzi, sotto gli auspici del Consiglio del Canada per le arti. Modellistico sull'esempio australiano. Potremmo ottenere grandi outsourced il componente con ecc. technolgy/posteriore. La scalfittura ha scritto loro e a cc'd Jen. Scalfittura per spedire ancora E-mail.
f) AEISEC - collegamento con la grande organizzazione dell'allievo. si sono avvicinato per collaborare. scalfittura da rispondere ai sensi che potremmo lavorare insieme, specialmente sviluppo dei profili e di E-mail di tecnologia.
7. Promuovendo le nostre possibilità di tecnologia alla gioventù Orgs
AIESEC è un esempio di un gruppo che ha costituire un fondo per ma che non ha saputo che il TIG era intorno in modo da ha preso il loro commercio di tecnologia altrove. La necessità di accertare questo non accade in avvenire. Genereremo un opuscolo che descrive le nostre possibilità e missione e trasmettiamo alla gente responsabile di tecnologia a tutti i orgs importanti della gioventù nel mondo
8. Circondare globale di discussione
delle strutture di TIG caritatevole contro non-caritatevole. attualmente usando il YMCA come agente fiscale caritatevole per un certo roba nel Canada. A termine più lungo dovremmo generare un altro org caritatevole nel Canada per sostenere la nostra inc senza scopo di lucro una.
Necessità di Skadden Arps di ottenere di nuovo alla scalfittura con riferimento a: memorandum d'intesa per Nation1 Foundation Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen e Mike devono trasmettere a Skadden tutti i loro contratti/financials ecc.
9. La sommità del mondo sulla società di informazioni
questo è una sommità importante di NU che accade a Ginevra in dicembre (12-sedicesimo) del 2003 ed a Tunisi in 2005 esplorazioni digitali si divide e “la faccia umana di tecnologia„.
Lavoreremo fortemente alla partecipazione coordinating della gioventù a questo congresso. Potremmo ospitare una sommità della gioventù di WSIS per andare con l'evento de Ginevra in 2003, quello potrebbe incorporare o leverage una sommità di TIG (della gioventù Reps). La scalfittura ha scritto all'unione di telecomunicazioni internazionale che è gli ospiti per esplorare le opzioni. Dovremmo esplorare andare alla riunione preparatoria quindicesima del luglio 2002 a Ginevra.
[Nota: Scalfittura anche regolata su WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com questo pomeriggio da fungere da una lista spedente per la discussione fra i giovani interessati in fare parte del processo]
una certa discussione circa il vasto concetto di riunire 20 membri attivi giovani/gioventù Reps di TIG a Toronto/altra città per addestramento ecc.
10. Sommità unita delle università del mondo. Risolto che sarebbe buono se Ezekiel e Camilla fossero i nostri rappresentanti, più la scalfittura se desiderasse andare. La scalfittura inoltre farà la raccomandazione a Jen ed a Mike se dovremmo nominarli. Deve fare abbastanza rapidamente questo.
11. Il fondamento globale del catalizzatore - ha detto che non desiderano costituire un fondo per la nostra proposta poichè è troppo simile ad altre cose stanno facendo. (Tad di A che frustra). Manterremo in contatto con loro e suggeriremo altri progetti di particolare a loro o effettivamente ad alcuni dei nostri programmi (come l'Africa ecc).
12. Scalfittura discussa che viene a Toronto in giugno, rimanente nella casa urbana del microfono. La possibilità inoltre discussa di Emily Kumpel che viene funzionare con TIG, quello sarebbe buona e dovremmo esplorarli. Scalfittura per chiederle i bisogni. Jen a followup anche.
13. La discussione intorno a generare un servizio d'informazione specifico del paese/culturale ha contribuito dagli utenti sul luogo di TIG. La volontà di Jen scrive alcune idee -- entreremo in pieno in questo quando la scalfittura ottiene a Toronto.
Inoltre come questo potrebbe collegarsi ad una risorsa di scambio e di corsa della gioventù e ad educativo e tutte le specie di altre cose! :)
14. Il rapporto annuale - terrà fuori del fare questo per ora fino a regolare il periodo di contabilizzazione.

Il commercio

Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN

BRESLIN

SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming

On-line-zine konnte in Papierzeitschrift zukünftig übersetzt werden.

In kurzfristigem vermutlich Unterstützungskanadisches Material, einschließlich Computerlabor im Toronto Büro. Im längerfristigen Willen schließen Sie an globale Leute, könnte ungefähr $75.000 des Computermaterials zu den unterschiedlichen Projekten zur Verfügung stellen Wert an, die wir uns empfehlen.

Jugend Reps in jedem Land wird die eindeutig definierten und standardisierten Arbeitsbeschreibungen gegeben, die mit den Auchsein konkreten TIG Geschäftstätigkeiten übereinstimmen (IE. Gemeinschaft, Tech enabler, Ausbildung usw.). Wir können mehr als einen Jugend-Repräsentanten pro Land haben, aber es gibt ein kompletteres Auswahlverfahren. TIG Mannschaften werden von Action Groups ersetzt, die um Projekte oder Ausgaben des Interesses zu jenen spezifischen Mitgliedern sich bilden (und des dieses konnte nicht in einem geographischen Schauplatz, aber in den virtuellen Mannschaften um die Welt gerade sein). TIG Jugend Reps ist dort, eine facilitatory Rolle, entsprechend ihrer definierten Mission zu spielen. Zu erklären Einschnitt zum zu erweitern und.
Gesprochene Melbourne Mannschaft und das Problem, das dort ist, daß die Mannschaft, die gebildet wurden und dann gewundert waren, was sie tun mußten und der Jugend-Repräsentant schwierige Rolle des Helfens einer disperate Gruppe Leute hatten (wer bereits in einer Vielzahl von Weisen aktiv waren), kommen zu einer übereinstimmung über Gruppe Tätigkeit: verbessern Sie, daß wir ihre eigenen Projekte gerade entwickeln und sie zusammen holen können, wo wir können… Jen ist Schreiben Antwort zu Michelle.
4. Teilhaberschaften

b) Modell UNO - vorgeschlagen, daß Camilla von Großbritannien oder jemand anderes, der mit THIMUN verbunden ist, interessiert sein konnten, an, eine Projektmanagement-Artrolle mit diesem Projekt zu spielen; Wunsch, von Jarra zurück zu hören.
c) IYPS - Einschnitt merkte sie gibt uns einen Schriftsatz und $3000, um ihre Web site zu entwickeln (im Allgemeinen Co-eingebrannt Falldatenbank) die wir bereits im Temperatur Format bewirten.

7. Unsere Techfähigkeiten zur Jugend Orgs AIESEC
zu fördern ist ein Beispiel einer Gruppe, die die Finanzierung hat, aber wußte nicht, daß TIG war, herum also ihr Techgeschäft anderwohin nahm. Notwendigkeit, dieses sicherzustellen geschieht nicht zukünftig. Wir stellen eine Broschüre, die unsere Fähigkeiten und Mission beschreibt her und senden den Leuten, die für Tech an allen Hauptjugend orgs in der Welt 8
verantwortlich sind. TIG globales Struktur-
Diskussion Umgeben barmherzig gegen nicht-barmherziges. das YMCA als barmherziges steuerliches Mittel für etwas Material in Kanada momentan verwenden. Längerfristig sollten wir ein anderes barmherziges org in Kanada verursachen, um unser gemeinnütziges Inc. eins zu stützen.

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN

- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand

NICOLE

- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA

Einschnitt hob Notwendigkeit hervor, dieses als eine vieler Weisen des Betrachtens der TIG Artikel, der möglicherweise angestrebten westlichen Publikum zu sehen. On-line-zine konnte in Papierzeitschrift zukünftig übersetzt werden.
c) Mike und Jen trafen Compaq Kanada heute. Sie waren sehr unterstützend, obgleich im übergang wegen der Fusion mit HP. In kurzfristigem vermutlich Unterstützungskanadisches Material, einschließlich Computerlabor im Toronto Büro. Im längerfristigen Willen schließen Sie an globale Leute, könnte ungefähr $75.000 des Computermaterials zu den unterschiedlichen Projekten zur Verfügung stellen Wert an, die wir uns empfehlen.
2. Kerben Sie gedanktes Jen und Mike für das Senden von $$

Jugend Reps in jedem Land wird die eindeutig definierten und standardisierten Arbeitsbeschreibungen gegeben, die mit den Auchsein konkreten TIG Geschäftstätigkeiten übereinstimmen (IE. Gemeinschaft, Tech enabler, Ausbildung usw.). Wir können mehr als einen Jugend-Repräsentanten pro Land haben, aber es gibt ein kompletteres Auswahlverfahren. TIG Mannschaften werden von Action Groups ersetzt, die um Projekte oder Ausgaben des Interesses zu jenen spezifischen Mitgliedern sich bilden (und des dieses konnte nicht in einem geographischen Schauplatz, aber in den virtuellen Mannschaften um die Welt gerade sein). TIG Jugend Reps ist dort, eine facilitatory Rolle, entsprechend ihrer definierten Mission zu spielen. Zu erklären Einschnitt zum zu erweitern und.
Gesprochene Melbourne Mannschaft und das Problem, das dort ist, daß die Mannschaft, die gebildet wurden und dann gewundert waren, was sie tun mußten und der Jugend-Repräsentant schwierige Rolle des Helfens einer disperate Gruppe Leute hatten (wer bereits in einer Vielzahl von Weisen aktiv waren), kommen zu einer übereinstimmung über Gruppe Tätigkeit: verbessern Sie, daß wir ihre eigenen Projekte gerade entwickeln und sie zusammen holen können, wo wir können… Jen ist Schreiben Antwort zu Michelle.
4. Teilhaberschaften
a) Afrikanisches Netz - wir fördern das Parlament zu unseren Mitgliedern, sobald der Vertrag mit AYP unterzeichnet wird. Wir auch üben auch andere Fälle und orgs aus, um ein Teil des Netzes zu sein. Jen sagte, daß die Kanadier, die das Gipfel G8 im Juni bewirten, eine grosse Afrika Initiative ausstoßen: sie übt die für finanzierenmöglichkeiten aus.
b) Modell UNO - vorgeschlagen, daß Camilla von Großbritannien oder jemand anderes, der mit THIMUN verbunden ist, interessiert sein konnten, an, eine Projektmanagement-Artrolle mit diesem Projekt zu spielen; Wunsch, von Jarra zurück zu hören.
c) IYPS - Einschnitt merkte sie gibt uns einen Schriftsatz und $3000, um ihre Web site zu entwickeln (im Allgemeinen Co-eingebrannt Falldatenbank) die wir bereits im Temperatur Format bewirten.

Einschnitt forwaded Mike, den Besondere Blaupause auffangen. Jen gekennzeichnete Notwendigkeit, Projekte auch zu kategorisieren.
6. Zukunft projiziert
a) internationale Jugend-Grundlage/Jugend-Tätigkeit Netz
Ben berichtet, daß YouthActionNet sehr wenige Besucher erhalten (YAN, die, um Notfall zu vergleichen benannt wurden und gebeten waren und waren überrascht, wieviele Besucher wir erhalten). Mike und Jen waren mit Schub von PowerPoint des Einschnittes einverstanden, und wir richten eine 3 Möglichkeit Telefonsitzung mit Rick wenig, Jen und Einschnitt aus, um das PowerPoint ihnen darzustellen. Einschnitt, zum von Jen und von Mike auch zu senden sein Universitätszeitplan.
b) Rat 4H/am Tisch

Kerben Sie das Besprechen mit Barry von der GlobalKids Idee, on-line-Diskussion um 11. September mit einem internationalen Fokus zu verursachen ein; ein videoconferencingprojekt möglicherweise mit einbeziehen. Einschnitt, zum der Zusammenfassung zu entwickeln und entlang zu drücken…
Jen holte oben Potential, mit unserem Klassenzimmer-Anschlußprojekt zu synergieren -- TIG entwickelt ein Projekt mit der Finanzierung, von kanadischer Abteilung der Staatsbürgerschaft und der Immigration, zum der on-line-Gemeinschaft für Friedensausbildung im Klassenzimmer zu verursachen….

7. Unsere Techfähigkeiten zur Jugend Orgs AIESEC
zu fördern ist ein Beispiel einer Gruppe, die die Finanzierung hat, aber wußte nicht, daß TIG war, herum also ihr Techgeschäft anderwohin nahm. Notwendigkeit, dieses sicherzustellen geschieht nicht zukünftig. Wir stellen eine Broschüre, die unsere Fähigkeiten und Mission beschreibt her und senden den Leuten, die für Tech an allen Hauptjugend orgs in der Welt 8
verantwortlich sind. TIG globales Struktur-
Diskussion Umgeben barmherzig gegen nicht-barmherziges. das YMCA als barmherziges steuerliches Mittel für etwas Material in Kanada momentan verwenden. Längerfristig sollten wir ein anderes barmherziges org in Kanada verursachen, um unser gemeinnütziges Inc. eins zu stützen.

Einschnitt hat der internationalen Fernmeldeunion geschrieben, das die Wirte sind, zum von Wahlen zu erforschen. Wir sollten das Gehen zur vorbereitenden Sitzung 15. von Juli 2002 in Genf erforschen.

REGIERUNGSGEWALT:

möchten: Häcker, die â alle Art von crazinessâ auf Ihren Aufstellungsort setzen. Sprechenabfall der Leute. Cybersquatting; Domain Name IP Diebe.
Regierung
Drohungen: Sicherheit, Häcker, die Beschädigung tun. Elterliches Druck â ohne Regierungsgewalt, erwarten sie, zu jemand zu schauen, um Kinder vor negativen Materialien zu schützen. Terroristen, die das Netz verwenden, um in Verbindung zu stehen und zusammenzuarbeiten.
Gelegenheiten â Besteuerung, Bewußtsein der allgemeinen Politik (geöffnetes Mikrophon), Kommunikation

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN
- How to start a club - resources
- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming
- pamphlet when you are at York
- Advisor
HUSS
- list serve for clubs (clubs@yorku.ca)
- Senate - YORK SPIRIT - huge concern - sustainability of school

- reunião com o TAD da juventude para o Sanity ambiental
- discussão longa com o entalhe do AU
1. Update no TIG de Jen e de microfone.
a) Os internships de Careeredge estão vindo a uma extremidade, Jen estarão falando ao banco real para ver se continuarão a fornecer financiar. HRDC também aproximando-se (recursos humanos algo Canadá) para começar financiar da equipe de funcionários (que seria mais flexível).
b) O Zine está sob o desenvolvimento: “I3” - é uma maneira nova de olhar artigos do TIG. Necessidade emfatizada entalhe ver isto como uma de muitas maneiras de ver artigos do TIG, audiências ocidentais talvez visadas. O zine em linha podia ser traduzido no compartimento de papel no futuro.
c) O microfone e Jen encontraram-se com com Compaq Canadá hoje. Eram muito de suporte, embora na transição devido ao merger com cavalo-força. Em a curto prazo, provavelmente material canadense da sustentação, including o laboratório do computador no escritório de Toronto. Em mais por muito tempo - o termo conectará com os povos globais, poderia fornecer o valor aproximadamente $75.000 do material do computador aos projetos que diferentes nós recomendamos.
2. Entalhe Jen agradecido e microfone para emitir $$
3. Bloco do representante da juventude e estrutura (Inc. Melbourne)
a) Jennifer está produzindo presentemente um sumário do TIG que ajude esclarecer coisas.
b) O entalhe redraft o material que Derek tinha produzido, Inc. da estrutura missão e assim por diante.
c) Nós refinaremos o conceito de equipes do TIG e de juventude Reps do TIG. A juventude Reps em cada país será dada as descrições de trabalho claramente definidas e estandardizadas que alinham com as atividades de negócio concretas do TIG demasiado-estar (IE. comunidade, enabler do tech, instrução etc.). Nós podemos ter mais de um representante da juventude por o país, mas haverá um processo de seleção mais detalhado. As equipes do TIG serão substituídas por Ação Grupo que dão forma em torno dos projetos ou das introduções do interesse 2 aqueles membros específicos (e deste não pôde apenas estar em um locale geográfico, mas em equipes virtuais em torno do mundo). A juventude Reps do TIG estará lá jogar um papel facilitatory, de acordo com sua missão definida. Entalhe a expandir e esclarecer.
Falado sobre a equipe de Melbourne e o problema lá que é que a equipe dada forma e querida saber então o que teve que fazer, e o representante da juventude tiveram o papel difícil de ajudar um grupo de povos (quem do disperate eram já ativos em uma variedade das maneiras) venha a um consenso sobre a atividade do grupo: melhore que nós podemos apenas desenvolver seus próprios projetos e os trazer junto onde nós podemos… Jen é resposta da escrita a Michelle.
4. Parcerias
a) Rede africana - nós promoveremos o Parliament a nossos membros uma vez que o contrato é assinado com AYP. Nós também perseguimos também outros eventos e orgs para ser parte da rede. Jen disse que os canadenses que hospedam o Summit G8 em junho estão lançando uma iniciativa grande de África: perseguirá aquela para possibilidades financiando.
b) Modelo UN - sugerido que Camilla do Reino Unido ou alguma outra pessoa associado com o THIMUN puderam estar interessado em jogar um papel do estilo da gerência de projeto com este projeto; querer ouvir-se para trás de Jarra.
c) IYPS - O entalhe anotou-os dar-nos-á um sumário e $3000 para desenvolver seu Web site (co-marcado bàsicamente base de dados dos eventos) que nós estamos hospedando já no formato da temperatura.
d) AIDS.TIG - concordado que AIDS.TIG é talvez não o mais melhor nome, concordado também que nós não usaríamos o nome de um org/sócio existentes no projeto assegurar o neutrality.
5. Os projetos caracterizam-nos
estão na mesma página sobre a necessidade criar uma área dos projetos do local do TIG, parte são criados certamente já sob meu perfil. O entalhe forwaded o blueprint específico do campo do microfone. Necessidade identificada Jen categorizar demasiado projetos.
6. O futuro projeta
a fundação da juventude de a)/a rede internacionais Ben ação
da juventude relata que YouthActionNet está começando muito poucos visitantes (YAN chamados e pedidos para comparar o stats e foram surpreendidos quantos visitantes nós começamos). O microfone e Jen concordaram com a pressão de PowerPoint do entalhe, e nós line up uma reunião do telefone de 3 maneiras com Rick pouco, Jen e entalhe para apresentar-lhe o PowerPoint. Entalhe para emitir também Jen e microfone sua programação da universidade.
b) conselho 4H/no microfone
da tabela para ter o tele-meeting com eles segunda-feira. O entalhe sugere que a estrutura chave para a parceria nos inclui que desenvolvem sua tecnologia, powering suas bases de dados etc. Nós poderíamos controlar ou mais mais desenvolver seu local. Está frustrando geralmente que duplicam nosso esforço. Não demasiado pode ser feito.
c) Projeto Sustainable UNEP do Web site do consumo
de UNEP a começar-nos para trás neste valor do projeto aproximadamente $30.000. Entalhe ao followup outra vez a certificar-se respondem O MAIS CEDO POSSÍVEL.
d) Miúdos globais projeto da parceria Sept do 11o do borne de 1 ano.
Entalhe discutir com o Barry da idéia de GlobalKids criar a discussão em linha em torno setembro de 11o com um foco internacional; potencial envolvendo um projeto video do conferencing. Entalhe para desenvolver o sumário e empurrá-lo ao longo…
Jen trouxe acima o potencial synergize com nosso projeto das conexões da sala de aula -- O TIG está desenvolvendo um projeto com financiar do departamento canadense do Citizenship e do Immigration, para criar a comunidade em linha para a instrução da paz na sala de aula….
e) Ruído Canadá - projeto principal de ~$2m para destacar a cultura da juventude com os meios, sob os auspices do conselho de Canadá para as artes. Modelado no exemplo Australian. Nós poderíamos começar grandes outsourced o componente com etc. technolgy/backend. O entalhe escreveu a eles e ao cc'd Jen. Entalhe para enviar outra vez o E-mail.
f) AEISEC - conexão com a organização grande do estudante. aproximaram-nos para collaborate. entalhe a responder às maneiras que nós poderíamos trabalhar junto, particularmente desenvolvimento do E-mail e dos esboços da tecnologia.
7. Promover nossas potencialidades do tech à juventude Orgs
AIESEC é um exemplo de um grupo que tenha financiar mas não soube que o TIG estava ao redor assim que fazia exame de seu negócio do tech em outra parte. A necessidade assegurar isto não acontece no futuro. Nós criaremos um folheto que descreva nossas potencialidades e missão e emitimo-lo aos povos responsáveis para o Tech em todos os orgs principais da juventude no mundo
8. Cercar global da discussão
das estruturas do TIG charitable contra non-charitable. presentemente usando o YMCA como um agente fiscal charitable para algum material em Canadá. Mais por muito tempo - termo nós devemos criar um outro org charitable em Canadá para suportar nosso inc non-profit um.
Necessidade de Skadden Arps começar para trás entalhar re: memorando de compreensão para Nation1 Fundação Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen e o microfone necessitam emitir a Skadden todos seus contratos/financeiros etc.
9. O Summit do mundo na sociedade de informação
isto é um summit principal dos UN que acontece em Genebra em dezembro (12-16o) 2003 e em Tunes em 2005 explorar digitais dividem-se e “a cara humana da tecnologia”.
Nós trabalharemos fortemente na participação coordinating da juventude nesta conferência. Nós poderíamos hospedar um Summit da juventude de WSIS para ir junto com o evento de Genebra em 2003, aquele poderia incorporar ou leverage um Summit do TIG (da juventude Reps). O entalhe escreveu à união de telecomunicações internacional que é os anfitriões para explorar opções. Nós devemos explorar ir à reunião preparatória 15o julho 2002 em Genebra.
[Nota: Entalhe ajustado também acima de WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com esta tarde a agir como uma lista enviando para a discussão amongst os povos novos interessados em ser parte do processo]
alguma discussão sobre o conceito largo de trazer 20 membros ativos novos/juventude Reps do TIG junto em Toronto/outra cidade para o treinamento etc.
10. Summit unido das faculdades do mundo. Resolvido que seria bom se Ezekiel e Camilla forem nossos representantes, mais o entalhe se quiser ir. O entalhe fará também a recomendação a Jen e o microfone a respeito de se nós devemos os nomear. Deve fazer isto completamente rapidamente.
11. A fundação global do catalizador - disse que não querem financiar nossa proposta porque é demasiado similar a outras coisas que estão fazendo. (Tad de A que frustra). Nós manter-nos-emos no contato com eles e sugerir-nos-emos outros projetos do detalhe a eles ou certamente a alguns de nossos programas (como África etc.).
12. Entalhe discutido que vem a Toronto em junho, permanecendo no townhouse do microfone. A possibilidade também discutida de Emily Kumpel que vem trabalhar com TIG, aquele seria boa e nós devemos explorá-lo. Entalhe para pedir-lhe necessidades. Jen ao followup demasiado.
13. A discussão em torno de criar um serviço específico cultural/do país informação contribuiu pelos usuários no local do TIG. A vontade de Jen escreve algumas idéias -- nós entraremos completamente neste quando o entalhe começa a Toronto.
Também como isto poderia ligar a um recurso da troca e do curso da juventude e a educacional e todas as sortes de outras coisas! :)
14. O relatório anual - prenderá fora de fazer isto para agora até que o período de contabilidade esteja ajustado.

De sábado março 9
do ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- conferência nacional do negócio e da tecnologia de UofT (nós funcionamos uma oficina que fosse um sucesso total!) estão aqui as notas das sessões que do grupo do break-out nós tivemos:
Que oportunidades e ameaças as seguintes tendências oferecem para negócios, governos, sociedade civil, NGO??
GOVERNANCE:
o do do â dos regulamentos do do do â o governance da sociedade civil do
do do webâ está sendo trazido junto para ser oportunidades
de negócio
informadas: podem ser tão aggressive como querem ser
ameaças: hackers que põem o do do â todas as sortes do do do crazinessâ sobre seu local. Lixo falando dos povos. Cybersquatting; ladrões do IP do Domain Name.
Ameaças
do governo: segurança, hackers que fazem os danos. Parental do do â da pressão com nenhum governance, esperam olhar a alguém para proteger crianças dos materiais negativos. Terroristas que usam a correia fotorreceptora comunicar-se e collaborate.
Taxation do do do â das oportunidades, consciência da política pública (microfone aberto), ACESSO
de uma comunicação AO ÍNDICE:
O negócio
permite-os de alcançar um mercado maior (globalization), abaixando a ameaça da privacidade
dos custos de marketing, custos iniciais para começar neste é elevado, superando o mentality do consumidor da sociedade
civil da segurança
menos fluxo de informação restrito, privacidade crescente
do conhecimento, problemas regulamentares, facilidade do emprego errado da informação, expectativa de costless. Não querendo pagar por coisas.
Custos
mais baixos do governo do governance, permitindo que os povos compreendam mais melhor o governo, governo que utiliza recursos mais eficientemente para alcançar acima
o Mentality dos povos, censura dos povos, privacidade, abertura demasiado fácil do do do â do acesso de informação para ataques.

troca da colaboração de fazer aos amigos (IM, E-mail)
a acessibilidade constante da informação
que alcança e que compreende outras ameaças das línguas (acesso ao índice e à tecnologia multilingual
)
demasiada dependência do Internet
no controle frouxamente da preferência
satisfeita de maneiras tradicionais de alcançar a informação (os formulários em linha nao bons?)
EXPERIÊNCIAS VIRTUAIS:
Uma comunicação civil
do Internet
das oportunidades da sociedade remove os limites tradicionais para que a abilidade
de uma comunicação experimente um ambiente ou um gender simulado!
O de ajuda do do â dos povos sai de seu do do shellâ dentro que são tradicional tímidos ou mais menos communicative nas ameaças
globais do acesso e do contexto
da pessoa
que substituem laços físicos fortes com a perda global mais fraca
dos laços do conhecimento da interação

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN
- How to start a club - resources
- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming

- Advisor
HUSS

- reunião com o TAD da juventude para o Sanity ambiental
- discussão longa com o entalhe do AU
1. Update no TIG de Jen e de microfone.
a) Os internships de Careeredge estão vindo a uma extremidade, Jen estarão falando ao banco real para ver se continuarão a fornecer financiar. HRDC também aproximando-se (recursos humanos algo Canadá) para começar financiar da equipe de funcionários (que seria mais flexível).
b) O Zine está sob o desenvolvimento: “I3” - é uma maneira nova de olhar artigos do TIG. Necessidade emfatizada entalhe ver isto como uma de muitas maneiras de ver artigos do TIG, audiências ocidentais talvez visadas. O zine em linha podia ser traduzido no compartimento de papel no futuro.
c) O microfone e Jen encontraram-se com com Compaq Canadá hoje. Eram muito de suporte, embora na transição devido ao merger com cavalo-força. Em a curto prazo, provavelmente material canadense da sustentação, including o laboratório do computador no escritório de Toronto. Em mais por muito tempo - o termo conectará com os povos globais, poderia fornecer o valor aproximadamente $75.000 do material do computador aos projetos que diferentes nós recomendamos.
2. Entalhe Jen agradecido e microfone para emitir $$
3. Bloco do representante da juventude e estrutura (Inc. Melbourne)
a) Jennifer está produzindo presentemente um sumário do TIG que ajude esclarecer coisas.
b) O entalhe redraft o material que Derek tinha produzido, Inc. da estrutura missão e assim por diante.
c) Nós refinaremos o conceito de equipes do TIG e de juventude Reps do TIG. A juventude Reps em cada país será dada as descrições de trabalho claramente definidas e estandardizadas que alinham com as atividades de negócio concretas do TIG demasiado-estar (IE. comunidade, enabler do tech, instrução etc.). Nós podemos ter mais de um representante da juventude por o país, mas haverá um processo de seleção mais detalhado. As equipes do TIG serão substituídas por Ação Grupo que dão forma em torno dos projetos ou das introduções do interesse 2 aqueles membros específicos (e deste não pôde apenas estar em um locale geográfico, mas em equipes virtuais em torno do mundo). A juventude Reps do TIG estará lá jogar um papel facilitatory, de acordo com sua missão definida. Entalhe a expandir e esclarecer.
Falado sobre a equipe de Melbourne e o problema lá que é que a equipe dada forma e querida saber então o que teve que fazer, e o representante da juventude tiveram o papel difícil de ajudar um grupo de povos (quem do disperate eram já ativos em uma variedade das maneiras) venha a um consenso sobre a atividade do grupo: melhore que nós podemos apenas desenvolver seus próprios projetos e os trazer junto onde nós podemos… Jen é resposta da escrita a Michelle.
4. Parcerias
a) Rede africana - nós promoveremos o Parliament a nossos membros uma vez que o contrato é assinado com AYP. Nós também perseguimos também outros eventos e orgs para ser parte da rede. Jen disse que os canadenses que hospedam o Summit G8 em junho estão lançando uma iniciativa grande de África: perseguirá aquela para possibilidades financiando.
b) Modelo UN - sugerido que Camilla do Reino Unido ou alguma outra pessoa associado com o THIMUN puderam estar interessado em jogar um papel do estilo da gerência de projeto com este projeto; querer ouvir-se para trás de Jarra.

d) AIDS.TIG - concordado que AIDS.TIG é talvez não o mais melhor nome, concordado também que nós não usaríamos o nome de um org/sócio existentes no projeto assegurar o neutrality.
5. Os projetos caracterizam-nos
estão na mesma página sobre a necessidade criar uma área dos projetos do local do TIG, parte são criados certamente já sob meu perfil. O entalhe forwaded o blueprint específico do campo do microfone. Necessidade identificada Jen categorizar demasiado projetos.
6. O futuro projeta
a fundação da juventude de a)/a rede internacionais Ben ação
da juventude relata que YouthActionNet está começando muito poucos visitantes (YAN chamados e pedidos para comparar o stats e foram surpreendidos quantos visitantes nós começamos). O microfone e Jen concordaram com a pressão de PowerPoint do entalhe, e nós line up uma reunião do telefone de 3 maneiras com Rick pouco, Jen e entalhe para apresentar-lhe o PowerPoint. Entalhe para emitir também Jen e microfone sua programação da universidade.

da tabela para ter o tele-meeting com eles segunda-feira. O entalhe sugere que a estrutura chave para a parceria nos inclui que desenvolvem sua tecnologia, powering suas bases de dados etc. Nós poderíamos controlar ou mais mais desenvolver seu local. Está frustrando geralmente que duplicam nosso esforço. Não demasiado pode ser feito.
c) Projeto Sustainable UNEP do Web site do consumo
de UNEP a começar-nos para trás neste valor do projeto aproximadamente $30.000. Entalhe ao followup outra vez a certificar-se respondem O MAIS CEDO POSSÍVEL.

7. Promover nossas potencialidades do tech à juventude Orgs
AIESEC é um exemplo de um grupo que tenha financiar mas não soube que o TIG estava ao redor assim que fazia exame de seu negócio do tech em outra parte. A necessidade assegurar isto não acontece no futuro. Nós criaremos um folheto que descreva nossas potencialidades e missão e emitimo-lo aos povos responsáveis para o Tech em todos os orgs principais da juventude no mundo
8. Cercar global da discussão
das estruturas do TIG charitable contra non-charitable. presentemente usando o YMCA como um agente fiscal charitable para algum material em Canadá. Mais por muito tempo - termo nós devemos criar um outro org charitable em Canadá para suportar nosso inc non-profit um.

Nós trabalharemos fortemente na participação coordinating da juventude nesta conferência. Nós poderíamos hospedar um Summit da juventude de WSIS para ir junto com o evento de Genebra em 2003, aquele poderia incorporar ou leverage um Summit do TIG (da juventude Reps). O entalhe escreveu à união de telecomunicações internacional que é os anfitriões para explorar opções. Nós devemos explorar ir à reunião preparatória 15o julho 2002 em Genebra.
[Nota: Entalhe ajustado também acima de WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com esta tarde a agir como uma lista enviando para a discussão amongst os povos novos interessados em ser parte do processo]
alguma discussão sobre o conceito largo de trazer 20 membros ativos novos/juventude Reps do TIG junto em Toronto/outra cidade para o treinamento etc.
10. Summit unido das faculdades do mundo. Resolvido que seria bom se Ezekiel e Camilla forem nossos representantes, mais o entalhe se quiser ir. O entalhe fará também a recomendação a Jen e o microfone a respeito de se nós devemos os nomear. Deve fazer isto completamente rapidamente.
11. A fundação global do catalizador - disse que não querem financiar nossa proposta porque é demasiado similar a outras coisas que estão fazendo. (Tad de A que frustra). Nós manter-nos-emos no contato com eles e sugerir-nos-emos outros projetos do detalhe a eles ou certamente a alguns de nossos programas (como África etc.).
12. Entalhe discutido que vem a Toronto em junho, permanecendo no townhouse do microfone. A possibilidade também discutida de Emily Kumpel que vem trabalhar com TIG, aquele seria boa e nós devemos explorá-lo. Entalhe para pedir-lhe necessidades. Jen ao followup demasiado.

do ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- conferência nacional do negócio e da tecnologia de UofT (nós funcionamos uma oficina que fosse um sucesso total!) estão aqui as notas das sessões que do grupo do break-out nós tivemos:
Que oportunidades e ameaças as seguintes tendências oferecem para negócios, governos, sociedade civil, NGO??
GOVERNANCE:
o do do â dos regulamentos do do do â o governance da sociedade civil do
do do webâ está sendo trazido junto para ser oportunidades
de negócio
informadas: podem ser tão aggressive como querem ser
ameaças: hackers que põem o do do â todas as sortes do do do crazinessâ sobre seu local. Lixo falando dos povos. Cybersquatting; ladrões do IP do Domain Name.
Ameaças
do governo: segurança, hackers que fazem os danos. Parental do do â da pressão com nenhum governance, esperam olhar a alguém para proteger crianças dos materiais negativos. Terroristas que usam a correia fotorreceptora comunicar-se e collaborate.
Taxation do do do â das oportunidades, consciência da política pública (microfone aberto), ACESSO
de uma comunicação AO ÍNDICE:
O negócio
permite-os de alcançar um mercado maior (globalization), abaixando a ameaça da privacidade
dos custos de marketing, custos iniciais para começar neste é elevado, superando o mentality do consumidor da sociedade
civil da segurança

do conhecimento, problemas regulamentares, facilidade do emprego errado da informação, expectativa de costless. Não querendo pagar por coisas.
Custos
mais baixos do governo do governance, permitindo que os povos compreendam mais melhor o governo, governo que utiliza recursos mais eficientemente para alcançar acima

EXPERIÊNCIAS VIRTUAIS:
Uma comunicação civil

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN
- How to start a club - resources
- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming
- pamphlet when you are at York
- Advisor
HUSS

- Senate - YORK SPIRIT - huge concern - sustainability of school

People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties

No central place of information about different activities at York
If we do this, we would be the central source of information?
Do students feel frustrated about the York experience?

Students are apathetic and indifferent
NEED: Report on the state of the University. How can we help to implement the recommendations?!

**************** för ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~fredag
mars
8 - ambassadören för Afrika/personlig rådgivare till Jean Cretien - talar på York om Afrika & att förbereda sig för
G8en - mötet med Ron från Compaq om det digitalt i Kanada - hur kan TIG hjälpa att tilltala det?
- möte med TAD från ungdommen för miljö- Sanity
- lång diskussion med hacket från AU
1. Uppdatering på TIG från Jen och mikrofonen.
a) De Careeredge praktikarna är kommande till en avsluta, ska Jen talar till kunglig person packar ihop för att se att huruvida de ska fortsätter för att ge finansiering. Också att närma sig HRDC (personalresurser något Kanada) för att få bemanna finansieringen (som skulle är mer böjlig).
b) Zinen är under utveckling: ”I3” - den är ett nytt långt av att se TIG-artiklar. Hacket betonat behov att se detta som en av många väg av att beskåda TIG precisera sina anklagelser mot, kanske siktat på västra åhörare. Den on-line zinen kunde översättas in i den pappers- tidskriften i framtiden.
c) Mikrofonen och Jen mötte med Compaq Kanada i dag. De var mycket understöda, även om i merger för övergång tack vare med HÄSTKRAFTER. I kortfristigt antagligen stoppar servicekanadensare, det inklusive datorlabbet på det Toronto kontoret. I longer - benämna ska förbinder med globalt folk, kunde ge omkring $75.000 som värd av datoren stoppar till olikt projekterar oss rekommenderar.
2. Nick tackade Jen och mikrofonen för överföring av $$
3. Ungdomtekniker-packen och strukturerar (Inc. Melbourne)
a) Jennifer producerar just nu ett summariskt av TIG som det ska hjälp klargör saker.
b) Hack ska redraft som strukturera stoppar, att Derek hade producerat, Inc. beskickning och så vidare.
c) Vi ska raffinerar begreppet av TIG-lag och TIG-ungdommen Reps. Ungdommen Reps i varje ska land ges klart definierad, och standardiserade jobbbeskrivningar, som arrangera i rak linje med för-vara, hårdnar TIG-affärsverksamhetar (ie. gemenskap, techenabler, utbildning etc.). Vi kan ha mer än en ungdomtekniker per land, men det ska finns ett processaa mer omfattande val. Tig-lag ska byts ut av aktionsgruppar som bilda projekterar eller utfärdar omkring av intresserar till de specifika medlemmar (och denna styrka inte precis att vara i en geografisk plats, men faktiska lag runt om världen). Tig-ungdommen som Reps ska, är där att leka en facilitatory roll, enligt deras definierade beskickning. Hack som ska utvidgas och klargöras.
Det omtalade Melbourne laget och problemet som är där, att laget som bildades och undrades därefter vad de måste att göra och ungdomteknikeren hade svår roll av portionen per disperategrupp människor (vem var redan aktivet i en variation av väg), kommer till en konsensus om gruppaktivitet: förbättra att vi kan precis framkalla deras eget projekterar och kommer med dem tillsammans var vi kan…, Jen är handstilsvaret till Michelle.
4. Partnerskap
a) Afrikanen knyter kontakt - vi ska främjar parlamentet till våra medlemmar, när avtala undertecknas med AYP. Vi också förföljer också andra händelser och orgs för att vara delen av knyta kontakt. Jen sade att kanadensarna som varar värd toppmötet G8 i Juni lanserar en stor Afrika insats: hon ska förföljer det för finansieringmöjligheter.
b) Modellera UN - möjliga, att Camilla från UKEN eller någon som annars är tillhörande med kan THIMUN intresseras i att leka en projekteraledning, utforma rollen med detta projekterar; önska att höra tillbaka från Jarra.
c) IYPS - Hacket noterade dem ska ger oss en resumé, och $3000 som framkallar deras website (som co-brännmärkas i stort händelsedatabas) som vi varar värd redan i vikarier, formaterar.
d) Instämmd AIDS.TIG -, att AIDS.TIG inte är kanske det bäst, namnge, också avgjort som vi skulle inte bruk det känt av en existerande org/partner i projektera att se till neutralitet.
5. Projekterar särdrag som
vi är på den samma sidan om behovet att skapa a projekterar område av TIG-platsen, sannerligen del ar redan skapad under mitt profilerar. Hacket forwaded mikrofonnärmare detalj sätter in ritningen. Jen identifierat behov att kategorisera projekterar för.
6. Framtid projekterar
för landskampungdommen för a) fundamentet/ungdomhandling som netto
Ben anmäler att YouthActionNet får mycket få besökare (YAN kallade och frågade att jämföra statistik och förvånades, hur många besökare vi får). Mikrofonen och Jen instämmde med framstöt av hackets powerpoint, och vi ska linen up som 3 ringer långt möte med stack lite, Jen och hacket för att framlägga powerpointen till dem. Hack som också överför Jen och mikrofonen hans universitetarschema.
b) råd 4H/på bordlägga
mikrofonen som har tele-meeting med dem Måndag. Hacket föreslår att den nyckel- ramen för partnerskap inkluderar oss som framkallar deras teknologi som driver deras databaser Etc. Vi kunde klara av eller vidare framkalla deras plats. Det frustrerar allmänt att de duplicerar vårt försök. Inte för mycket kan göras.
c) Projekterar den hållbara förbrukningswebsiten för UNEP
UNEP för att få baksida till oss på denna projekterar värd om $30.000. Hacket till followup igen som ser till reagerar de, ASAP.
d) Globala ungar som 1 år postar partnerskap för Sept 11th, projekterar.
Hacket som diskuterar med Barry från den GlobalKids idén att skapa on-line diskussion runt om September 11th med en landskamp, fokuserar; potentiellt gälla en video conferencing projektera. Hack som framkallar summariskt och som ska skjutas längs…,
Jen som kommas med upp potentiellt för att synergize med våra klassrumanslutningar, projekterar -- TIG framkallar en projektera med att betala från kanadensareavdelning av medborgarskap och invandring, som skapar den on-line gemenskapen för fredutbildning i klassrum….,
e) Stoja Kanada - ha som huvudämne ~$2m projekterar för att markera ungdomkultur till och med massmedia, under auspicesna av det Kanada rådet för konsterna. Modellerat på australiensiskt exempel. Vi kunde få stora outsourced del- med technolgy/backend Etc. Hacket skrev till dem och cc'd Jen. Hack som igen eftersänder e-post.
f) AEISEC - anslutning med stor deltagareorganisation. de att närma sig oss för att samarbeta. hacket som reagerar till e-posten och, skisserar väg som vi kunde fungera tillsammans, bestämt teknologiutveckling.
7. Att främja våra techkapaciteter till ungdommen Orgs
AIESEC är ett exempel av en grupp, som har finansiering, men visste inte att TIG var omkring så tog deras techaffär någon annanstans. Behov att se till detta händer inte i framtiden. Vi ska skapar en broschyr, som beskriver vår kapaciteter och beskickning, och överför till folk som ansvariga för Tech ha som huvudämne alls ungdomorgs i världen
8. Global TIG strukturerar
att omge för diskussion som är medmänskligt vs non-medmänskligt. just nu genom att använda YMCAEN som ett medmänskligt skatte- medel för något stoppa i Kanada. Longer - benämna oss bör skapa en annan medmänsklig org i Kanada för att stötta vår icke-kommersiella inc en.
Skadden Arps behov att få baksida för att nick beträffande: anteckning av överenskommelse för Nation1 Fundament Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen och mikrofonen behöver att överföra Skadden som allt deras avtalar/financials Etc.
9. Världstoppmötet på informationssamhället
detta är ett ha som huvudämneUN-toppmöte som händer i Geneva i December (12-16th) 2003, och i Tunis i delar 2005 digitala undersökning, och ”människan vänder mot av teknologi”.
Vi ska starkt arbete på coordinating ungdommedverkan i denna konferens. Vi kunde vara värd ett WSIS-ungdomtoppmöte för att gå tillsammans med den Geneva händelsen i 2003, kunde det införlivat eller att utnyttja ett TIG-toppmöte (av ungdommen Reps). Hacket har skriftligt till landskamptelekommunikationunion som är varar värd för att undersöka alternativ. Vi bör undersöka att gå till det Preparatory mötet 1-5th Juli 2002 i Geneva.
[Notera: För hack uppsättning också upp WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com denna eftermiddag som agerar, som en brevskickande listar för diskussion amongst ungdomar som intresseras i att vara delen av det processaa]
någon diskussion om det breda begreppet av att komma med 20 unga aktivmedlemmar/ungdommen Reps av TIG tillsammans i Toronto/en annan stad för utbildning Etc.
10. Enigt världshögskolatoppmöte. Löst, att det skulle, var bra, om Ezekiel och Camilla var våra tekniker, det positiva hacket, om han önskade att gå. Hacket som också ska, gör rekommendation till Jen, och mikrofonen om huruvida bör vi nominera dem. Måste göra detta ganska snabbt.
11. Det globala katalysatorfundamentet - har sagt att de inte önskar att betala vårt förslag, som det är för liknande till annan saker som de gör. (A-tad som frustrerar). Vi ska uppehället i kontakt med dem och föreslår att annan detalj projekterar till dem eller sannerligen några av våra program (lika Afrika etc.).
12. Diskuterat hack som är kommande till Toronto i Juni som blir i mikrofons townhouse. Också den kommande diskuterade möjligheten av Emily Kumpel som fungerar med TIG, det skulle är bra, och vi bör undersöka den. Hack som frågar henne behov. Jen till followup för.
13. Diskussionen runt om att skapa en tjänste- kulturell/om land specifik information bidrog till vid användare på TIG-plats. Ska Jen skriver några idéer -- vi ska går mycket in i denna, när hacket får till Toronto.
Också, hur detta kunde anknyta till ett ungdomutbyte och resa resursen och bilda och alla sorterar av annan saker! :)
14. Årsrapport - den ska hållen av att göra detta för nu till budgetperioden har varit fastställd.

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students

YOHAAN

- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand

NICOLE

- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN

- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM

- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE

- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?

Letter in faculty boxes
Listserves
Clubs
What are our assumptions?
Diversity @ York â we are one of the most multicultural communities
Level of student engagement
Commuter culture
People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties
People are not very inspired
No central place of information about different activities at York
If we do this, we would be the central source of information?
Do students feel frustrated about the York experience?
What kind of people are students interested in hearing from?
Students are apathetic and indifferent
NEED: Report on the state of the University. How can we help to implement the recommendations?!
⢠What are the demographics of York Students?

- möte med TAD från ungdommen för miljö- Sanity
- lång diskussion med hacket från AU
1. Uppdatering på TIG från Jen och mikrofonen.
a) De Careeredge praktikarna är kommande till en avsluta, ska Jen talar till kunglig person packar ihop för att se att huruvida de ska fortsätter för att ge finansiering. Också att närma sig HRDC (personalresurser något Kanada) för att få bemanna finansieringen (som skulle är mer böjlig).
b) Zinen är under utveckling: ”I3” - den är ett nytt långt av att se TIG-artiklar. Hacket betonat behov att se detta som en av många väg av att beskåda TIG precisera sina anklagelser mot, kanske siktat på västra åhörare. Den on-line zinen kunde översättas in i den pappers- tidskriften i framtiden.
c) Mikrofonen och Jen mötte med Compaq Kanada i dag. De var mycket understöda, även om i merger för övergång tack vare med HÄSTKRAFTER. I kortfristigt antagligen stoppar servicekanadensare, det inklusive datorlabbet på det Toronto kontoret. I longer - benämna ska förbinder med globalt folk, kunde ge omkring $75.000 som värd av datoren stoppar till olikt projekterar oss rekommenderar.
2. Nick tackade Jen och mikrofonen för överföring av $$
3. Ungdomtekniker-packen och strukturerar (Inc. Melbourne)
a) Jennifer producerar just nu ett summariskt av TIG som det ska hjälp klargör saker.
b) Hack ska redraft som strukturera stoppar, att Derek hade producerat, Inc. beskickning och så vidare.
c) Vi ska raffinerar begreppet av TIG-lag och TIG-ungdommen Reps. Ungdommen Reps i varje ska land ges klart definierad, och standardiserade jobbbeskrivningar, som arrangera i rak linje med för-vara, hårdnar TIG-affärsverksamhetar (ie. gemenskap, techenabler, utbildning etc.). Vi kan ha mer än en ungdomtekniker per land, men det ska finns ett processaa mer omfattande val. Tig-lag ska byts ut av aktionsgruppar som bilda projekterar eller utfärdar omkring av intresserar till de specifika medlemmar (och denna styrka inte precis att vara i en geografisk plats, men faktiska lag runt om världen). Tig-ungdommen som Reps ska, är där att leka en facilitatory roll, enligt deras definierade beskickning. Hack som ska utvidgas och klargöras.
Det omtalade Melbourne laget och problemet som är där, att laget som bildades och undrades därefter vad de måste att göra och ungdomteknikeren hade svår roll av portionen per disperategrupp människor (vem var redan aktivet i en variation av väg), kommer till en konsensus om gruppaktivitet: förbättra att vi kan precis framkalla deras eget projekterar och kommer med dem tillsammans var vi kan…, Jen är handstilsvaret till Michelle.
4. Partnerskap
a) Afrikanen knyter kontakt - vi ska främjar parlamentet till våra medlemmar, när avtala undertecknas med AYP. Vi också förföljer också andra händelser och orgs för att vara delen av knyta kontakt. Jen sade att kanadensarna som varar värd toppmötet G8 i Juni lanserar en stor Afrika insats: hon ska förföljer det för finansieringmöjligheter.
b) Modellera UN - möjliga, att Camilla från UKEN eller någon som annars är tillhörande med kan THIMUN intresseras i att leka en projekteraledning, utforma rollen med detta projekterar; önska att höra tillbaka från Jarra.
c) IYPS - Hacket noterade dem ska ger oss en resumé, och $3000 som framkallar deras website (som co-brännmärkas i stort händelsedatabas) som vi varar värd redan i vikarier, formaterar.
d) Instämmd AIDS.TIG -, att AIDS.TIG inte är kanske det bäst, namnge, också avgjort som vi skulle inte bruk det känt av en existerande org/partner i projektera att se till neutralitet.
5. Projekterar särdrag som
vi är på den samma sidan om behovet att skapa a projekterar område av TIG-platsen, sannerligen del ar redan skapad under mitt profilerar. Hacket forwaded mikrofonnärmare detalj sätter in ritningen. Jen identifierat behov att kategorisera projekterar för.
6. Framtid projekterar
för landskampungdommen för a) fundamentet/ungdomhandling som netto
Ben anmäler att YouthActionNet får mycket få besökare (YAN kallade och frågade att jämföra statistik och förvånades, hur många besökare vi får). Mikrofonen och Jen instämmde med framstöt av hackets powerpoint, och vi ska linen up som 3 ringer långt möte med stack lite, Jen och hacket för att framlägga powerpointen till dem. Hack som också överför Jen och mikrofonen hans universitetarschema.
b) råd 4H/på bordlägga
mikrofonen som har tele-meeting med dem Måndag. Hacket föreslår att den nyckel- ramen för partnerskap inkluderar oss som framkallar deras teknologi som driver deras databaser Etc. Vi kunde klara av eller vidare framkalla deras plats. Det frustrerar allmänt att de duplicerar vårt försök. Inte för mycket kan göras.
c) Projekterar den hållbara förbrukningswebsiten för UNEP
UNEP för att få baksida till oss på denna projekterar värd om $30.000. Hacket till followup igen som ser till reagerar de, ASAP.
d) Globala ungar som 1 år postar partnerskap för Sept 11th, projekterar.
Hacket som diskuterar med Barry från den GlobalKids idén att skapa on-line diskussion runt om September 11th med en landskamp, fokuserar; potentiellt gälla en video conferencing projektera. Hack som framkallar summariskt och som ska skjutas längs…,
Jen som kommas med upp potentiellt för att synergize med våra klassrumanslutningar, projekterar -- TIG framkallar en projektera med att betala från kanadensareavdelning av medborgarskap och invandring, som skapar den on-line gemenskapen för fredutbildning i klassrum….,
e) Stoja Kanada - ha som huvudämne ~$2m projekterar för att markera ungdomkultur till och med massmedia, under auspicesna av det Kanada rådet för konsterna. Modellerat på australiensiskt exempel. Vi kunde få stora outsourced del- med technolgy/backend Etc. Hacket skrev till dem och cc'd Jen. Hack som igen eftersänder e-post.
f) AEISEC - anslutning med stor deltagareorganisation. de att närma sig oss för att samarbeta. hacket som reagerar till e-posten och, skisserar väg som vi kunde fungera tillsammans, bestämt teknologiutveckling.
7. Att främja våra techkapaciteter till ungdommen Orgs
AIESEC är ett exempel av en grupp, som har finansiering, men visste inte att TIG var omkring så tog deras techaffär någon annanstans. Behov att se till detta händer inte i framtiden. Vi ska skapar en broschyr, som beskriver vår kapaciteter och beskickning, och överför till folk som ansvariga för Tech ha som huvudämne alls ungdomorgs i världen
8. Global TIG strukturerar
att omge för diskussion som är medmänskligt vs non-medmänskligt. just nu genom att använda YMCAEN som ett medmänskligt skatte- medel för något stoppa i Kanada. Longer - benämna oss bör skapa en annan medmänsklig org i Kanada för att stötta vår icke-kommersiella inc en.
Skadden Arps behov att få baksida för att nick beträffande: anteckning av överenskommelse för Nation1 Fundament Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen och mikrofonen behöver att överföra Skadden som allt deras avtalar/financials Etc.
9. Världstoppmötet på informationssamhället
detta är ett ha som huvudämneUN-toppmöte som händer i Geneva i December (12-16th) 2003, och i Tunis i delar 2005 digitala undersökning, och ”människan vänder mot av teknologi”.
Vi ska starkt arbete på coordinating ungdommedverkan i denna konferens. Vi kunde vara värd ett WSIS-ungdomtoppmöte för att gå tillsammans med den Geneva händelsen i 2003, kunde det införlivat eller att utnyttja ett TIG-toppmöte (av ungdommen Reps). Hacket har skriftligt till landskamptelekommunikationunion som är varar värd för att undersöka alternativ. Vi bör undersöka att gå till det Preparatory mötet 1-5th Juli 2002 i Geneva.
[Notera: För hack uppsättning också upp WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com denna eftermiddag som agerar, som en brevskickande listar för diskussion amongst ungdomar som intresseras i att vara delen av det processaa]
någon diskussion om det breda begreppet av att komma med 20 unga aktivmedlemmar/ungdommen Reps av TIG tillsammans i Toronto/en annan stad för utbildning Etc.
10. Enigt världshögskolatoppmöte. Löst, att det skulle, var bra, om Ezekiel och Camilla var våra tekniker, det positiva hacket, om han önskade att gå. Hacket som också ska, gör rekommendation till Jen, och mikrofonen om huruvida bör vi nominera dem. Måste göra detta ganska snabbt.
11. Det globala katalysatorfundamentet - har sagt att de inte önskar att betala vårt förslag, som det är för liknande till annan saker som de gör. (A-tad som frustrerar). Vi ska uppehället i kontakt med dem och föreslår att annan detalj projekterar till dem eller sannerligen några av våra program (lika Afrika etc.).
12. Diskuterat hack som är kommande till Toronto i Juni som blir i mikrofons townhouse. Också den kommande diskuterade möjligheten av Emily Kumpel som fungerar med TIG, det skulle är bra, och vi bör undersöka den. Hack som frågar henne behov. Jen till followup för.
13. Diskussionen runt om att skapa en tjänste- kulturell/om land specifik information bidrog till vid användare på TIG-plats. Ska Jen skriver några idéer -- vi ska går mycket in i denna, när hacket får till Toronto.
Också, hur detta kunde anknyta till ett ungdomutbyte och resa resursen och bilda och alla sorterar av annan saker! :)
14. Årsrapport - den ska hållen av att göra detta för nu till budgetperioden har varit fastställd.

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN

- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE

- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM

- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE

Commuter culture
People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties

Spends the night writing this massive progress report...

What's next she wonders...
What's next?
My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...

b) Zine находится под развитием: «I3» - будет новой дорогой смотреть статьи TIG. Забоина подчеркнула потребность увидеть это как одна из много дорог осматривать статьи TIG, возможно aim at западные аудитории. Online zine было в состоянии быть переведено в бумажную кассету in the future.
c) Майк и Jen встречали с Compaq Канадой сегодня. Они были очень supportive, хотя в переходе из-за слияния с HP. В недолгосрочном, вероятно вещество поддержки канадское, включая лабораторию компьютера на офисе Toronto.

b) Забоина redraft вещество Дерек произвело, inc. структуры полет и так далее.
c) Мы уточним принципиальную схему команд TIG и молодости Reps TIG. Молодость Reps в каждой стране будет передана ясно определенные и унифицированные описания работы выравнивают с экономическими деятельностями TIG слишком-быть конкретными (ie. община, enabler техника, образование etc). Мы можем иметь больше чем одного представителя молодости в страну, но будет более всесторонний прочесса селекции. Команды TIG будут заменены Действием Группой формируют вокруг проектов или вопросов интереса к тем специфически членам (и этого не могл как раз находиться в географическом locale, а фактически командах вокруг мира). Молодость Reps TIG будет там сыграть facilitatory роль, согласно их определенному полету. Забоина, котор нужно расширить и уточюнить.
Talk about команда Melbourne и проблема там что команда сформированная и после этого, котор заинтересованная они должна сделать, и представитель молодости имели трудную роль помогать группе в составе люди (disperate были уже активно в разнообразии дорог) приходят к консенсусу о деятельности при группы: улучшайте что мы можем как раз начать их собственные проекты и принести их совместно где мы можем… Jen будет реакцией сочинительства к Мишель.
4. Партнерства
a) Африканская сеть - мы повысим парламента к нашим членам как только подряд подписан с AYP. Мы также также следуем другие случаи и orgs для того чтобы быть частью сети. Jen сказало чанадецы хозяйничая саммит G8 в Джун запускают большую инициативу Африки: она последует то для фондируя возможностей.
b) ООН модели - предложенные что Camilla от Великобритании или someone else связанных с THIMUN могло быть заинтересованн в играть роль типа руководства проектом с этим проектом; хотеть услышать назад от Jarra.
c) IYPS - Забоина заметила их передаст нам сводка и $3000 для того чтобы начать их основно co-затавренное web site (базой данных случаев) мы уже хозяйничаем в форме температуры.
d) AIDS.TIG - соглашенное что AIDS.TIG будет возможно не самым лучшим именем, также соглашенным что мы не использовали имя existing org/соучастника в проекте для того чтобы обеспечить нейтралитет.
5. Проекты отличают
нами находятся на такой же странице о потребности создать зону проектов места TIG, деиствительно части уже созданы под моим профилем. Забоина forwaded светокопия поля Майк специфически. Потребность определенная Jen классифицировать проекты слишком.
6. Будущее проектирует
учредительство молодости a) международные/сеть Бен действия
молодости сообщает что YouthActionNet получает очень немногих визитеров (были удивлены YAN вызванные и спрошенные, что сравнили stats и how many визитеры мы получаем). Майк и Jen согласились с тягой powerpoint забоины, и мы line up встреча телефона 3 дорог с Рик маленьким, Jen и забоиной для того чтобы представить powerpoint к им. Забоина также для того чтобы послать Jen и Майк его план-график университета.
b) совет 4H/на таблице
Майк для того чтобы иметь tele-meeting с ими понедельник. Забоина предлагает ключевые рамки для партнерства вклюают нас начиная их технологию, приводя их cEtc в действие баз данных. Мы смогли управлять или более далее начинать их местом. Оно вообще расстраивает что они дублируют наше усилие. Too much смогите быть сделано.
c) Проект UNEP web site потребления UNEP
Sustainable, котор нужно получить back to мы на этой стоимости проекта о $30.000. Забоина к followup снова, котор нужно make sure они отвечают КАК МОЖНО СКОРЕЕ.
d) Глобальные малыши проект партнерства cSept 11th столба 1 года.
Nick обсуждать с Барри от идеи GlobalKids создать online обсуждение вокруг 11-ое сентября с международным фокусом; потенциальн включать видео- проект conferencing. Забоина для того чтобы начать сводку и нажать вдоль…
Jen принесло вверх потенциал синергировать с нашим проектом соединений класса -- TIG начинает проект с фондировать от канадского отдела подданства и иммиграции, для того чтобы создать online общину для образования мира в классе….
e) Шум Канада - главный проект ~$2m для того чтобы выделить культуру молодости через средства, под auspices совета Канады для искусство. Моделировано на австралийском примере. Мы смогли получить большими outsourced компонент с technolgy/backend cEtc. Забоина написала к им и cc'd Jen. Забоина для того чтобы препровождать и-мэйло снова.
f) AEISEC - соединение с большой организацией студента. они причалили нам для того чтобы сотрудничать. забоина, котор нужно ответить к дорогам мы смогли работать совместно, определенно развитию и-мэйла, котор и планов технологии.
7. Повышать наши возможности техника к молодости Orgs
AIESEC будет примером группы имеет фондировать но не знал TIG было вокруг поэтому принимало их дело техника в другом месте. Потребность обеспечить это не случается in the future. Мы создадим брошюру описывает наши возможности и полет и посылаем к людям ответственным для техника на всех главных orgs молодости в мире
8. Окружать обсуждения структур
TIG глобальный благотворительный против non-благотворительного. в настоящее время использовать YMCA как благотворительное фискальное вещество для некоторого вещества в Канаде. Longer term мы должны создать другое благотворительное org в Канаде для того чтобы поддержать наш бесприбыльный inc одно.

Мы сильно будем работать на coordinating запутанности молодости в этом конференции. Мы смогли хозяйничать саммит молодости WSIS для того чтобы пойти вместе с случаем Geneva в 2003, то смогло включать или система рычагов саммит TIG (молодости Reps). Забоина писала к Международному союзу электросвязи будет хозяином для того чтобы исследовать варианты. Мы должны исследовать идти к подготовительному заседанию 1-5th июля 2002 в Geneva.
[Примечание: Забоина также установленная вверх по WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com это после полудня, котор нужно подействовать по мере того как пересылая список для обсуждения amongst молодые люди интересуемые в быть частью процесса]
некоторое обсуждение о обширной принципиальной схеме приносить 20 молодых активно членов/молодость Reps TIG совместно в Toronto/другой город для cEtc тренировки.
10. Соединенный саммит коллежей мира. Разрешено что было хорошо если Ezekiel и Camilla были нашими представителями, то, плюс забоина если он хотел пойти. Забоина также сделает рекомендацию к Jen и Майк as to whether мы должны nominate они. Сделать это довольно быстро.
11. Глобальное учредительство катализатора - говорило они не хочет фондировать наше предложение по мере того как оно слишком подобно к другим вещам, котор они делают. (Tad a). Мы будем держать in contact with они и предлагать другие проекты частности к им или деиствительно некоторым из наших программ (как Африка etc).

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN
- How to start a club - resources
- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming
- pamphlet when you are at York
- Advisor
HUSS

What are our assumptions?
Diversity @ York â we are one of the most multicultural communities
Level of student engagement
Commuter culture
People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties
People are not very inspired
No central place of information about different activities at York
If we do this, we would be the central source of information?
Do students feel frustrated about the York experience?
What kind of people are students interested in hearing from?
Students are apathetic and indifferent
NEED: Report on the state of the University. How can we help to implement the recommendations?!
⢠What are the demographics of York Students?

My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...

a) Internships Careeredge приходят к концу, Jen будут говорить к королевскому крену для того чтобы увидеть будут продолжаться ли они обеспечить фондировать. Также причаливая HRDC (людские ресурсы что-то Канада) для того чтобы получить фондировать штата (был бы гибке).
b) Zine находится под развитием: «I3» - будет новой дорогой смотреть статьи TIG. Забоина подчеркнула потребность увидеть это как одна из много дорог осматривать статьи TIG, возможно aim at западные аудитории. Online zine было в состоянии быть переведено в бумажную кассету in the future.
c) Майк и Jen встречали с Compaq Канадой сегодня. Они были очень supportive, хотя в переходе из-за слияния с HP. В недолгосрочном, вероятно вещество поддержки канадское, включая лабораторию компьютера на офисе Toronto. В более longer term воле соединитесь с глобальный людьми, смогл снабдить стоимость около $75.000 вещества компьютера по-разному проекты, котор мы рекомендуем.
2. Nick возблагодаренное Jen и Майк для посылки $$
3. Пакет представителя молодости и структура (inc. Melbourne)
a) Дженнифер в настоящее время производит сводку TIG поможет уточюнить вещи.
b) Забоина redraft вещество Дерек произвело, inc. структуры полет и так далее.
c) Мы уточним принципиальную схему команд TIG и молодости Reps TIG. Молодость Reps в каждой стране будет передана ясно определенные и унифицированные описания работы выравнивают с экономическими деятельностями TIG слишком-быть конкретными (ie. община, enabler техника, образование etc). Мы можем иметь больше чем одного представителя молодости в страну, но будет более всесторонний прочесса селекции. Команды TIG будут заменены Действием Группой формируют вокруг проектов или вопросов интереса к тем специфически членам (и этого не могл как раз находиться в географическом locale, а фактически командах вокруг мира). Молодость Reps TIG будет там сыграть facilitatory роль, согласно их определенному полету. Забоина, котор нужно расширить и уточюнить.
Talk about команда Melbourne и проблема там что команда сформированная и после этого, котор заинтересованная они должна сделать, и представитель молодости имели трудную роль помогать группе в составе люди (disperate были уже активно в разнообразии дорог) приходят к консенсусу о деятельности при группы: улучшайте что мы можем как раз начать их собственные проекты и принести их совместно где мы можем… Jen будет реакцией сочинительства к Мишель.
4. Партнерства
a) Африканская сеть - мы повысим парламента к нашим членам как только подряд подписан с AYP. Мы также также следуем другие случаи и orgs для того чтобы быть частью сети. Jen сказало чанадецы хозяйничая саммит G8 в Джун запускают большую инициативу Африки: она последует то для фондируя возможностей.
b) ООН модели - предложенные что Camilla от Великобритании или someone else связанных с THIMUN могло быть заинтересованн в играть роль типа руководства проектом с этим проектом; хотеть услышать назад от Jarra.
c) IYPS - Забоина заметила их передаст нам сводка и $3000 для того чтобы начать их основно co-затавренное web site (базой данных случаев) мы уже хозяйничаем в форме температуры.
d) AIDS.TIG - соглашенное что AIDS.TIG будет возможно не самым лучшим именем, также соглашенным что мы не использовали имя existing org/соучастника в проекте для того чтобы обеспечить нейтралитет.
5. Проекты отличают
нами находятся на такой же странице о потребности создать зону проектов места TIG, деиствительно части уже созданы под моим профилем. Забоина forwaded светокопия поля Майк специфически. Потребность определенная Jen классифицировать проекты слишком.
6. Будущее проектирует
учредительство молодости a) международные/сеть Бен действия
молодости сообщает что YouthActionNet получает очень немногих визитеров (были удивлены YAN вызванные и спрошенные, что сравнили stats и how many визитеры мы получаем). Майк и Jen согласились с тягой powerpoint забоины, и мы line up встреча телефона 3 дорог с Рик маленьким, Jen и забоиной для того чтобы представить powerpoint к им. Забоина также для того чтобы послать Jen и Майк его план-график университета.
b) совет 4H/на таблице
Майк для того чтобы иметь tele-meeting с ими понедельник. Забоина предлагает ключевые рамки для партнерства вклюают нас начиная их технологию, приводя их cEtc в действие баз данных. Мы смогли управлять или более далее начинать их местом. Оно вообще расстраивает что они дублируют наше усилие. Too much смогите быть сделано.
c) Проект UNEP web site потребления UNEP
Sustainable, котор нужно получить back to мы на этой стоимости проекта о $30.000. Забоина к followup снова, котор нужно make sure они отвечают КАК МОЖНО СКОРЕЕ.
d) Глобальные малыши проект партнерства cSept 11th столба 1 года.
Nick обсуждать с Барри от идеи GlobalKids создать online обсуждение вокруг 11-ое сентября с международным фокусом; потенциальн включать видео- проект conferencing. Забоина для того чтобы начать сводку и нажать вдоль…
Jen принесло вверх потенциал синергировать с нашим проектом соединений класса -- TIG начинает проект с фондировать от канадского отдела подданства и иммиграции, для того чтобы создать online общину для образования мира в классе….
e) Шум Канада - главный проект ~$2m для того чтобы выделить культуру молодости через средства, под auspices совета Канады для искусство. Моделировано на австралийском примере. Мы смогли получить большими outsourced компонент с technolgy/backend cEtc. Забоина написала к им и cc'd Jen. Забоина для того чтобы препровождать и-мэйло снова.
f) AEISEC - соединение с большой организацией студента. они причалили нам для того чтобы сотрудничать. забоина, котор нужно ответить к дорогам мы смогли работать совместно, определенно развитию и-мэйла, котор и планов технологии.
7. Повышать наши возможности техника к молодости Orgs
AIESEC будет примером группы имеет фондировать но не знал TIG было вокруг поэтому принимало их дело техника в другом месте. Потребность обеспечить это не случается in the future. Мы создадим брошюру описывает наши возможности и полет и посылаем к людям ответственным для техника на всех главных orgs молодости в мире
8. Окружать обсуждения структур
TIG глобальный благотворительный против non-благотворительного. в настоящее время использовать YMCA как благотворительное фискальное вещество для некоторого вещества в Канаде. Longer term мы должны создать другое благотворительное org в Канаде для того чтобы поддержать наш бесприбыльный inc одно.
Потребность Skadden Arps получить back to забоина re: договор о взаимопонимании для Nation1 Учредительства Inc/TIG-USA Inc. Jen и Майк нужно послать Skadden все их подряды/cEtc financials.

это будет главным саммитом ООН случаясь в Geneva в 2003 -го декабре (12-16th) и в Tunis в 2005 исследовать цифровых разделяет и «людская сторона технологии».
Мы сильно будем работать на coordinating запутанности молодости в этом конференции. Мы смогли хозяйничать саммит молодости WSIS для того чтобы пойти вместе с случаем Geneva в 2003, то смогло включать или система рычагов саммит TIG (молодости Reps). Забоина писала к Международному союзу электросвязи будет хозяином для того чтобы исследовать варианты. Мы должны исследовать идти к подготовительному заседанию 1-5th июля 2002 в Geneva.
[Примечание: Забоина также установленная вверх по WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com это после полудня, котор нужно подействовать по мере того как пересылая список для обсуждения amongst молодые люди интересуемые в быть частью процесса]
некоторое обсуждение о обширной принципиальной схеме приносить 20 молодых активно членов/молодость Reps TIG совместно в Toronto/другой город для cEtc тренировки.
10. Соединенный саммит коллежей мира. Разрешено что было хорошо если Ezekiel и Camilla были нашими представителями, то, плюс забоина если он хотел пойти. Забоина также сделает рекомендацию к Jen и Майк as to whether мы должны nominate они. Сделать это довольно быстро.
11. Глобальное учредительство катализатора - говорило они не хочет фондировать наше предложение по мере того как оно слишком подобно к другим вещам, котор они делают. (Tad a). Мы будем держать in contact with они и предлагать другие проекты частности к им или деиствительно некоторым из наших программ (как Африка etc).
12. Обсуженная забоина приходя к Toronto в Джун, оставаясь в townhouse Майк. Также обсуженная возможность Эмили Kumpel приходя работать с TIG, тем была бы хороша и мы должны исследовать его. Забоина для того чтобы спросить ей потребности. Jen к followup слишком.

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN
- How to start a club - resources
- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming
- pamphlet when you are at York
- Advisor
HUSS
- list serve for clubs (clubs@yorku.ca)
- Senate - YORK SPIRIT - huge concern - sustainability of school

Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties

What's next?
My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...

met Ron van Compaq over de digitale waterscheiding in Canada - hoe kan neemt spreekt TIG om het te richten helpen?
- vergadering met TAD van de Jeugd voor MilieuSanity
- lange bespreking met Inkeping van Au
1. Update op TIG van Jen en Mike.
a) Internships Careeredge eindigen, zal Jen aan Koninklijke Bank spreken om te zien of zij financiering zullen blijven verstrekken. Ook het naderbij komen HRDC (Personeel iets Canada) om personeel financiering (die flexibeler zou zijn) te krijgen.
b) Zine is in ontwikkeling: „I3“ - het is een nieuwe manier om TIG artikelen te bekijken. Inkeping benadrukte behoefte om dit als één van vele manieren te zien om TIG artikelen, misschien te bekijken die op westelijk publiek worden gericht. Online zine zou in document tijdschrift in de toekomst kunnen worden vertaald.
c) Mike en Jen die Compaq Canada vandaag wordt ontmoet. Zij waren zeer steunend, hoewel in overgang toe te schrijven aan fusie met PK. In korte termijn, steun waarschijnlijk Canadees materiaal, met inbegrip van computerlaboratorium op het kantoor van Toronto. In langere termijn zal verbinden aan globale mensen, kon waarde ongeveer $75.000 van computermateriaal aan verschillende projecten verstrekken die wij hebben geadviseerd.
2. Inkeping gedankte Jen en Mike voor het verzenden van $$
3. Het incl. Pak van Rep van de jeugd en Structuur (. Melbourne)
a) Jennifer veroorzaakt weldra een samenvatting van TIG die zal helpen dingen verduidelijken.
b) De inkeping zal het structuurmateriaal herschrijven dat Derek had geproduceerd, incl. opdracht etc.
c) Wij zullen het concept TIG Teams en TIG Rep van de Jeugd raffineren. Rep van de jeugd in elk land zullen welomlijnde en gestandaardiseerde baanbeschrijvingen worden gegeven die zich op ook-zijn de concrete TIG Economische activiteiten richten van (d.w.z. gemeenschap, technologie enabler, onderwijs enz.). Wij kunnen meer dan één Rep van de Jeugd per land hebben, maar er zal een uitvoeriger selectieproces zijn. TIG de Teams zullen door de Groepen van de Actie worden vervangen die zich rond projecten of kwesties van belang voor die specifieke leden vormen (en dit zou niet alleen in een geografische scène, maar virtuele teams rond de wereld kunnen zijn). TIG Rep van de Jeugd zullen daar een facilitatory rol, volgens hun bepaalde opdracht moeten spelen. Uit te breiden en te verduidelijken inkeping zich.
Gesproken over het Team van Melbourne en probleem daar die dat het team vormde en toen is benieuwd was wat zij moesten doen, en Rep van de Jeugd had moeilijke rol van het helpen van een disperategroep mensen (die reeds actief op een verscheidenheid van manieren) waren komt aan een consensus over groepsactiviteit: beter dat wij hun eigen projecten kunnen enkel ontwikkelen en hen bijeenbrengen waar wij… kunnen Jen schrijft reactie op Michelle.
4. Van vennootschappen
a) het Afrikaanse Netwerk - wij zullen het Parlement aan onze leden bevorderen zodra het contract met AYP wordt ondertekend. Wij streven ook ook andere gebeurtenissen na en orgs om deel van het netwerk uit te maken. Jen zei de Canadezen die de G8 Top in Juni ontvangen een groot initiatief van Afrika lanceren: zij zal dat voor de financiering van mogelijkheden achtervolgen.
b) De model V.N. - voorgesteld dat Camilla van het UK of iemand anders geassoci�ërd met THIMUN geinteresseerd zou kunnen zijn in het spelen van een rol van de projectleidingsstijl met dit project; het willen terug van Jarra horen.
c) IYPS - de Inkeping nam van nota zij ons een memorandum en $3000 zullen geven om hun website (fundamenteel mede-gemerkt gebeurtenissengegevensbestand) te ontwikkelen die wij reeds in temperaturenformaat ontvangen.
d) AIDS.TIG - het ermee eens geweest dat AIDS.TIG misschien niet de beste naam is, was ook het ermee eens dat wij niet de naam van het bestaan org/partner in het project om neutraliteit te verzekeren zouden gebruiken.
5. De projecten komen
wij zijn op de zelfde pagina over de behoefte voor om een gebied van Projecten van de TIG plaats tot stand te brengen, inderdaad wordt het deel reeds gecre�ërd onder Mijn Profiel. De inkeping forwaded specifieke het gebiedsblauwdruk van Mike. Jen geïdentificeerde behoefte om projecten ook te categoriseren.
6. De de toekomstige Stichting
van de Jeugd van Projecten a) Internationale/Actie Netto Ben
van de Jeugd rapporteren dat YouthActionNet zeer weinig bezoekers krijgt (YAN geroepen en die wordt gevraagd om te vergelijken stats en was verrast hoeveel bezoekers wij krijgen). Mike en Jen die met duw van Power Point van de Inkeping is overeengekomen, en wij zullen een vergadering van de 3 maniertelefoon met Rick weinig, Jen en Inkeping opstellen om Power Point aan hen voor te stellen. De inkeping Jen en Mike zijn universiteit ook om te verzenden plant.
b) 4H de Raad/bij de Lijst
Mike om televergadering met hen te hebben Maandag. De inkeping stelt voor het zeer belangrijke kader voor vennootschap ons omvat die hun technologie ontwikkelen, die hun gegevensbestanden enz. aandrijft. Wij konden verder hun plaats leiden of ontwikkelen. Het is over het algemeen frustrerend dat zij onze inspanning dupliceren. Niet kan teveel worden gedaan.
c) De websiteProject UNEP van de Consumptie van UNEP
Duurzaam terug naar ons op dit project met een waarde van ongeveer $30.000 te krijgen. Inkeping aan follow-up opnieuw om ervoor te zorgen ZO VLUG MOGELIJK antwoorden zij.
d) Globaal van Jonge geitjes post 11 het vennootschapproject van één jaar van Sept.
Inkeping die met Barry van idee GlobalKids bespreekt om online bespreking rond 11 September met een internationale nadruk tot stand te brengen; potentieel implicerend een videoconfererenproject. Inkeping om samenvatting te ontwikkelen en te duwen langs…
Jen bracht potentieel ter sprake synergize met ons project van de Verbindingen van het Klaslokaal -- TIG ontwikkelt een project met financiering van Canadese Afd. van Burgerschap en Immigratie, om online gemeenschap voor vredesonderwijs in klaslokaal te creëren….
e) Lawaai Canada - belangrijk ~$2m project om de jeugdcultuur door de media, onder toezicht van de Raad van Canada voor Art. te benadrukken. Gemodelleerd op Australisch voorbeeld. Wij konden grote gedelocaliseerde component met technolgy/achterste deel enz. krijgen. De inkeping schreef aan hen en cc'd Jen. Inkeping opnieuw vooruit met de elektronische post te versturen.
f) AEISEC - verbinding met grote studentenorganisatie. zij benaderden ons om samen te werken. inkeping om aan e-mail en overzichtenmanieren te antwoorden wij konden samenwerken, in het bijzonder technologieontwikkeling.
7. Het bevorderen van onze technologiemogelijkheden aan de Jeugd Orgs
AIESEC is een voorbeeld van een groep die heeft financiering maar niet wist TIG rond zo elders nam hun technologiezaken was. De behoefte om dit te verzekeren gebeurt niet in de toekomst. Wij zullen een brochure die onze mogelijkheden en opdracht beschrijft creëren en verzenden naar mensen verantwoordelijk voor Technologie bij al belangrijke jeugd orgs in wereld
8. TIG het Globale omringen
van de Bespreking van Structuren liefdadig versus nietliefdadig. weldra gebruikend YMCA als liefdadige fiscale agent voor wat materiaal in Canada. Langere termijn zouden wij een andere liefdadige org in Canada moeten tot stand brengen om onze n.v. zonder winstbejag te steunen.
De behoefte van Arps van Skadden om naar Inkeping aangaande terug te gaan: memorandum van overeenstemming voor Inc. van de inc/TIG-V.S. van de Stichting Nation1. Jen en Mike moeten Skadden al hun contracten/financials enz. verzenden.
9. De Top van de wereld op de Informatiemaatschappij
dit is een belangrijke top van de V.N. gebeurend in Genève in December (12-12-16ste) 2003 en in Tunis in digitaal onderzoeken van 2005 verdeel en het „menselijke gezicht van technologie“.
Wij zullen sterk bij het coördineren van de jeugdbetrokkenheid in deze conferentie werken. Wij konden een Top van de Jeugd ontvangen WSIS om met de gebeurtenis van Genève in 2003 akkoord te gaan, die of hefboomwerking een TIG Top (van Rep van de Jeugd kon opnemen). De inkeping heeft aan Internationale Telecommunicatie-Unie geschreven die de gastheren zijn om opties te onderzoeken. Wij zouden het gaan naar de Voorbereidende vergadering vijftiende van Juli 2002 in Genève moeten onderzoeken.
[Nota: De inkeping zette ook WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com op vanmiddag om als adressenlijst voor bespreking onder jonge mensen dienst te doen geinteresseerd in het uitmaken deel van het proces]
Wat bespreking over het brede concept het bijeenbrengen van 20 jonge actieve leden/Rep van de Jeugd van TIG in Toronto/een andere stad voor opleidend enz.
10. De verenigde Top van de Universiteiten van de Wereld. Vastbesloten dat het goed zou zijn als Ezekiel en Camilla onze vertegenwoordigers waren, plus Inkeping als hij wilde gaan. De inkeping zal ook aanbeveling aan Jen en Mike doen over de vraag of wij hen zouden moeten benoemen. Moet dit vrij snel doen.
11. De globale Stichting van de Katalysator - hebben gezegd zij niet ons voorstel willen financieren aangezien het aan andere dingen te gelijkaardig is zij doen. (Tad die van A frustreert). Wij zullen in contact met hen houden en zullen andere bepaalde projecten aan hen of inderdaad sommige van onze programma's (als Afrika enz.) voorstellen.
12. Besproken Inkeping die aan Toronto in Juni komt, dat in het huis in de stad van Mike blijft. Ook besproken mogelijkheid die van Emily Kumpel met TIG komt te werken, die goed zou zijn en wij zouden het moeten onderzoeken. Inkeping om haar behoeften te vragen. Jen aan follow-up ook.
13. Bespreking rond het creëren van de dienst van de culturele/land specifieke informatie die tot door gebruikers op TIG plaats wordt bijgedragen. Jen zal schrijft sommige ideeën -- wij zullen volledig in dit gaan wanneer de Inkeping aan Toronto krijgt.
Ook hoe dit met een middel van de Uitwisseling en van de Reis van de Jeugd en Onderwijs en alle soorten van andere dingen kon verbinden! :)
14. Jaarverslag - weg nu het doen van dit voor zal houden tot de berekeningsperiode is geplaatst.

****************
- de de Nationale Zaken van UofT en conferentie van de Technologie (wij stelden een workshop in werking die een totaal succes! was) hier zijn de nota's van de zittingen van de doorbraakgroep die wij hebben gehad:
Welke Kansen en Bedreigingen bieden de volgende tendensen voor ondernemingen, overheden, de burgerlijke maatschappij, ngo's??
BESTUUR:
â - verordeningen â het bestuur van de Burgerlijke maatschappij webâ
om geïnformeerden BedrijfsKansen
wordt samengebracht
te zijn: zij kunnen zo agressief zijn aangezien zij Bedreigingen willen
zijn: de hakkers die â allen zetten sorteert van crazinessâ op uw plaats. Mensen die afval spreken. Cybersquatting; IP van de domeinnaam dieven.
De Bedreigingen
van de overheid: veiligheid, hakkers die schade aanricht. Ouderlijke druk â zonder bestuur, denken zij aan iemand kijken om kinderen tegen negatieve materialen te beschermen. Terroristen die het Web gebruiken om te communiceren en samen te werken.
De belastingheffing , openbaar beleidsvoorlichting van kansen â (open Mike), communicatie
TOEGANG TOT INHOUD:
De zaken
laten hen toe om een grotere markt (globalisering) te bereiken, verminderend marketing de bedreiging
van de kostenPrivacy, zijn de aanvankelijke kosten in dit te krijgen hoog, overwinnend de mentaliteit van de consument van beperkte
de informatiestroom
van de veiligheids Burgerlijke Maatschappij minder, die kennisPrivacy
, de problemen van de Verordening, Gemak verhoogt van misbruik van informatie, verwachting van zonder kosten. Willend niet voor dingen betalen.
De Lagere
kosten die van de overheid van bestuur, mensen toestaan om beter overheid te begrijpen, overheid die middelen gebruikt efficiënter om mensenMentaliteit
van mensen, censuur die, privacy, informatietoegang te gemakkelijke â te bereiken voor aanvallen openstelt.
MEDEDELINGEN EN GEMEENSCHAP:
De Plaats
doesnâ t van kansen verhindert uitwisseling
Verhoogde samenwerkings
Grotere waarschijnlijkheid van het maken van vrienden (IM, E-mail)
Constante informatietoegankelijkheid
los Bereikend en begrijpend andere talen (toegang tot meertalige inhoud en technologie
)
Bedreigingen Teveel afhankelijkheid van de
controle van Internet van inhouds
Voorkeur van traditionele manieren om tot informatie (online niet goede vormen?) toegang te hebben
VIRTUELE ERVARINGEN:
De burgerlijke mededeling
van Internet
van de Kansen van de Maatschappij verwijdert traditionele grenzen voor communicatie
Capaciteit om een gesimuleerd milieu of een geslacht te ervaren!
Helpend komen de mensen â uit hun shellâ in zij zijn traditioneel schuwe of minder mededeelzame persoonlijk
Globale toegang en context
Bedreigingen die
sterke fysieke banden vervangen met zwakker globaal banden
Verlies van kennis van interactie

----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:

What are our assumptions?
Diversity @ York â we are one of the most multicultural communities
Level of student engagement
Commuter culture
People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties
People are not very inspired
No central place of information about different activities at York
If we do this, we would be the central source of information?
Do students feel frustrated about the York experience?

Students are apathetic and indifferent
NEED: Report on the state of the University. How can we help to implement the recommendations?!

My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...

- lange bespreking met Inkeping van Au
1. Update op TIG van Jen en Mike.
a) Internships Careeredge eindigen, zal Jen aan Koninklijke Bank spreken om te zien of zij financiering zullen blijven verstrekken. Ook het naderbij komen HRDC (Personeel iets Canada) om personeel financiering (die flexibeler zou zijn) te krijgen.
b) Zine is in ontwikkeling: „I3“ - het is een nieuwe manier om TIG artikelen te bekijken. Inkeping benadrukte behoefte om dit als één van vele manieren te zien om TIG artikelen, misschien te bekijken die op westelijk publiek worden gericht. Online zine zou in document tijdschrift in de toekomst kunnen worden vertaald.
c) Mike en Jen die Compaq Canada vandaag wordt ontmoet. Zij waren zeer steunend, hoewel in overgang toe te schrijven aan fusie met PK. In korte termijn, steun waarschijnlijk Canadees materiaal, met inbegrip van computerlaboratorium op het kantoor van Toronto. In langere termijn zal verbinden aan globale mensen, kon waarde ongeveer $75.000 van computermateriaal aan verschillende projecten verstrekken die wij hebben geadviseerd.
2. Inkeping gedankte Jen en Mike voor het verzenden van $$
3. Het incl. Pak van Rep van de jeugd en Structuur (. Melbourne)
a) Jennifer veroorzaakt weldra een samenvatting van TIG die zal helpen dingen verduidelijken.
b) De inkeping zal het structuurmateriaal herschrijven dat Derek had geproduceerd, incl. opdracht etc.
c) Wij zullen het concept TIG Teams en TIG Rep van de Jeugd raffineren. Rep van de jeugd in elk land zullen welomlijnde en gestandaardiseerde baanbeschrijvingen worden gegeven die zich op ook-zijn de concrete TIG Economische activiteiten richten van (d.w.z. gemeenschap, technologie enabler, onderwijs enz.). Wij kunnen meer dan één Rep van de Jeugd per land hebben, maar er zal een uitvoeriger selectieproces zijn. TIG de Teams zullen door de Groepen van de Actie worden vervangen die zich rond projecten of kwesties van belang voor die specifieke leden vormen (en dit zou niet alleen in een geografische scène, maar virtuele teams rond de wereld kunnen zijn). TIG Rep van de Jeugd zullen daar een facilitatory rol, volgens hun bepaalde opdracht moeten spelen. Uit te breiden en te verduidelijken inkeping zich.
Gesproken over het Team van Melbourne en probleem daar die dat het team vormde en toen is benieuwd was wat zij moesten doen, en Rep van de Jeugd had moeilijke rol van het helpen van een disperategroep mensen (die reeds actief op een verscheidenheid van manieren) waren komt aan een consensus over groepsactiviteit: beter dat wij hun eigen projecten kunnen enkel ontwikkelen en hen bijeenbrengen waar wij… kunnen Jen schrijft reactie op Michelle.
4. Van vennootschappen
a) het Afrikaanse Netwerk - wij zullen het Parlement aan onze leden bevorderen zodra het contract met AYP wordt ondertekend. Wij streven ook ook andere gebeurtenissen na en orgs om deel van het netwerk uit te maken. Jen zei de Canadezen die de G8 Top in Juni ontvangen een groot initiatief van Afrika lanceren: zij zal dat voor de financiering van mogelijkheden achtervolgen.
b) De model V.N. - voorgesteld dat Camilla van het UK of iemand anders geassoci�ërd met THIMUN geinteresseerd zou kunnen zijn in het spelen van een rol van de projectleidingsstijl met dit project; het willen terug van Jarra horen.
c) IYPS - de Inkeping nam van nota zij ons een memorandum en $3000 zullen geven om hun website (fundamenteel mede-gemerkt gebeurtenissengegevensbestand) te ontwikkelen die wij reeds in temperaturenformaat ontvangen.
d) AIDS.TIG - het ermee eens geweest dat AIDS.TIG misschien niet de beste naam is, was ook het ermee eens dat wij niet de naam van het bestaan org/partner in het project om neutraliteit te verzekeren zouden gebruiken.
5. De projecten komen
wij zijn op de zelfde pagina over de behoefte voor om een gebied van Projecten van de TIG plaats tot stand te brengen, inderdaad wordt het deel reeds gecre�ërd onder Mijn Profiel. De inkeping forwaded specifieke het gebiedsblauwdruk van Mike. Jen geïdentificeerde behoefte om projecten ook te categoriseren.
6. De de toekomstige Stichting
van de Jeugd van Projecten a) Internationale/Actie Netto Ben
van de Jeugd rapporteren dat YouthActionNet zeer weinig bezoekers krijgt (YAN geroepen en die wordt gevraagd om te vergelijken stats en was verrast hoeveel bezoekers wij krijgen). Mike en Jen die met duw van Power Point van de Inkeping is overeengekomen, en wij zullen een vergadering van de 3 maniertelefoon met Rick weinig, Jen en Inkeping opstellen om Power Point aan hen voor te stellen. De inkeping Jen en Mike zijn universiteit ook om te verzenden plant.
b) 4H de Raad/bij de Lijst
Mike om televergadering met hen te hebben Maandag. De inkeping stelt voor het zeer belangrijke kader voor vennootschap ons omvat die hun technologie ontwikkelen, die hun gegevensbestanden enz. aandrijft. Wij konden verder hun plaats leiden of ontwikkelen. Het is over het algemeen frustrerend dat zij onze inspanning dupliceren. Niet kan teveel worden gedaan.
c) De websiteProject UNEP van de Consumptie van UNEP
Duurzaam terug naar ons op dit project met een waarde van ongeveer $30.000 te krijgen. Inkeping aan follow-up opnieuw om ervoor te zorgen ZO VLUG MOGELIJK antwoorden zij.
d) Globaal van Jonge geitjes post 11 het vennootschapproject van één jaar van Sept.
Inkeping die met Barry van idee GlobalKids bespreekt om online bespreking rond 11 September met een internationale nadruk tot stand te brengen; potentieel implicerend een videoconfererenproject. Inkeping om samenvatting te ontwikkelen en te duwen langs…
Jen bracht potentieel ter sprake synergize met ons project van de Verbindingen van het Klaslokaal -- TIG ontwikkelt een project met financiering van Canadese Afd. van Burgerschap en Immigratie, om online gemeenschap voor vredesonderwijs in klaslokaal te creëren….
e) Lawaai Canada - belangrijk ~$2m project om de jeugdcultuur door de media, onder toezicht van de Raad van Canada voor Art. te benadrukken. Gemodelleerd op Australisch voorbeeld. Wij konden grote gedelocaliseerde component met technolgy/achterste deel enz. krijgen. De inkeping schreef aan hen en cc'd Jen. Inkeping opnieuw vooruit met de elektronische post te versturen.
f) AEISEC - verbinding met grote studentenorganisatie. zij benaderden ons om samen te werken. inkeping om aan e-mail en overzichtenmanieren te antwoorden wij konden samenwerken, in het bijzonder technologieontwikkeling.
7. Het bevorderen van onze technologiemogelijkheden aan de Jeugd Orgs
AIESEC is een voorbeeld van een groep die heeft financiering maar niet wist TIG rond zo elders nam hun technologiezaken was. De behoefte om dit te verzekeren gebeurt niet in de toekomst. Wij zullen een brochure die onze mogelijkheden en opdracht beschrijft creëren en verzenden naar mensen verantwoordelijk voor Technologie bij al belangrijke jeugd orgs in wereld
8. TIG het Globale omringen
van de Bespreking van Structuren liefdadig versus nietliefdadig. weldra gebruikend YMCA als liefdadige fiscale agent voor wat materiaal in Canada. Langere termijn zouden wij een andere liefdadige org in Canada moeten tot stand brengen om onze n.v. zonder winstbejag te steunen.
De behoefte van Arps van Skadden om naar Inkeping aangaande terug te gaan: memorandum van overeenstemming voor Inc. van de inc/TIG-V.S. van de Stichting Nation1. Jen en Mike moeten Skadden al hun contracten/financials enz. verzenden.
9. De Top van de wereld op de Informatiemaatschappij
dit is een belangrijke top van de V.N. gebeurend in Genève in December (12-12-16ste) 2003 en in Tunis in digitaal onderzoeken van 2005 verdeel en het „menselijke gezicht van technologie“.
Wij zullen sterk bij het coördineren van de jeugdbetrokkenheid in deze conferentie werken. Wij konden een Top van de Jeugd ontvangen WSIS om met de gebeurtenis van Genève in 2003 akkoord te gaan, die of hefboomwerking een TIG Top (van Rep van de Jeugd kon opnemen). De inkeping heeft aan Internationale Telecommunicatie-Unie geschreven die de gastheren zijn om opties te onderzoeken. Wij zouden het gaan naar de Voorbereidende vergadering vijftiende van Juli 2002 in Genève moeten onderzoeken.
[Nota: De inkeping zette ook WSISyouth@yahoogroups.com op vanmiddag om als adressenlijst voor bespreking onder jonge mensen dienst te doen geinteresseerd in het uitmaken deel van het proces]
Wat bespreking over het brede concept het bijeenbrengen van 20 jonge actieve leden/Rep van de Jeugd van TIG in Toronto/een andere stad voor opleidend enz.
10. De verenigde Top van de Universiteiten van de Wereld. Vastbesloten dat het goed zou zijn als Ezekiel en Camilla onze vertegenwoordigers waren, plus Inkeping als hij wilde gaan. De inkeping zal ook aanbeveling aan Jen en Mike doen over de vraag of wij hen zouden moeten benoemen. Moet dit vrij snel doen.
11. De globale Stichting van de Katalysator - hebben gezegd zij niet ons voorstel willen financieren aangezien het aan andere dingen te gelijkaardig is zij doen. (Tad die van A frustreert). Wij zullen in contact met hen houden en zullen andere bepaalde projecten aan hen of inderdaad sommige van onze programma's (als Afrika enz.) voorstellen.
12. Besproken Inkeping die aan Toronto in Juni komt, dat in het huis in de stad van Mike blijft. Ook besproken mogelijkheid die van Emily Kumpel met TIG komt te werken, die goed zou zijn en wij zouden het moeten onderzoeken. Inkeping om haar behoeften te vragen. Jen aan follow-up ook.
13. Bespreking rond het creëren van de dienst van de culturele/land specifieke informatie die tot door gebruikers op TIG plaats wordt bijgedragen. Jen zal schrijft sommige ideeën -- wij zullen volledig in dit gaan wanneer de Inkeping aan Toronto krijgt.
Ook hoe dit met een middel van de Uitwisseling en van de Reis van de Jeugd en Onderwijs en alle soorten van andere dingen kon verbinden! :)
14. Jaarverslag - weg nu het doen van dit voor zal houden tot de berekeningsperiode is geplaatst.

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN

- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand

NICOLE

- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming
- pamphlet when you are at York
- Advisor
HUSS
- list serve for clubs (clubs@yorku.ca)
- Senate - YORK SPIRIT - huge concern - sustainability of school

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN
- How to start a club - resources
- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming
- pamphlet when you are at York
- Advisor
HUSS
- list serve for clubs (clubs@yorku.ca)
- Senate - YORK SPIRIT - huge concern - sustainability of school
- (Contact with President's office)

What sort of things might people be interested in doing?
----------------------------------------------------------
Forum
§ to meet new people
§ to make meaningful connections
§ to gain new perspectives.
History, background information at York U
§ There are 160 clubs at York U. To form a club, a minimum of 15 people is required.
§ Clubs have a historic sustainability problem.
Questions, issues for us to address:
§ How can we enhance what is already being done?
§ How do we make it relevant for commuters?
Possible solutions/answers:
§ We can involve the faculty and/or administration. It is pointed out that they love to help (example: Independent Society www.yorku.ca/indep, see Huss Banai).
§ BUT: What is missing? What is the gap?
§ We need to seize the audience that we want. We need to focus marketing efforts instead of contributing to advertising noise, which is prevalent around school.
Discussions about the York Experience
--------------------------------------
School spirit is very low. So what can TIG do to get people involved?
- Hold a forum for students to learn from each other.
- Present to all students, the opportunities at York for personal growth and involvement in the York community.
- Present the different clubs available for students to get involved in
We should have a focus group to understand the students needs, and what would make life easier for the students.
Commuters often feel left out because theyâre not a part of any club, and non-commuters only stick to their friends on campus.
Ideas to bridge communication between TIG and commuters:
- Randomly initiating conversations
- Brief classroom presentations
Some problems we must get past or work around:
- People enrol with the attitude that all York has to offer is courses
- Some individuals only do things for resume builders.
Possible solutions:
- With faculty and admin support we can encourage community involvement through the classroom presentations
- We can also send pamphlets out as part admission packages or distribute to them to interested students.
Other ideas:
- Running a workshop on how to run a successful club.
- Finding out how much students are willing to work on projects. i.e. splitting up large projects to many smaller projects so as to not discourage members, or take up too much of their time.
- Get people from different disciplines to speak about how getting involved can help in their discipline
Focus: Basic Idea of TIG@York
To inspire, inform and involve York students to the opportunities that are available @ York
To engage those "out of the loop"
To provide a common forum, easily accessible and visible to the entire York population, serving as an umbrella under which all opportunities at York are listed
To provide information on how to get involved - how to start your own club, etc.
To create a heightened sense of community, belonging, identity, and school spirit
Implemented perhaps in one way through "Classroom Crusaders" who (at least?) once a semester enter a lecture and provide an interesting 5 minute presentation to inform faculty and students to TIG@York; the presentation would be characterized by personal experience stories, and also tailored to the area of that specific course.
Other functions of TIG@York would be the online portion, providing comprehensive access to club information, event info, a York Global Gallery, discussions, and other relevant resources.
Personal Goals & Next Steps:
STEVE
- motivate people who are involved
- get word out about what we do and what we can do
- First Year Students
- Try to interest lazy friends
YOHAAN
- the missing link! Maybe it's just communication
- Research - what's going on around campus
- How can we add value and bridge the gap?
DAN
- How to start a club - resources
- get students plugged in and motivated
- What is the student demographic
- Where do students stand
- tell other clubs about this
NICOLE
- If getting info together is obstacle - research
- Talk to supervisor (tech.) - York site
- How we can get support from York tech
BRESLIN
- get colleges and high schools involved
- work on projects in Petrolia
SIHAM
- Ask *people* what they want out of joining a club like this
- What would people want to join
- BOARD of clubs
MICHELLE
- It's the TIG people//This is the manifestation of the TIG vision
- help people and sense of belonging
- What do we need?
- What elements encompass it?
VITTORIA
- Need a rep from each club
- first impression was not as welcoming
- pamphlet when you are at York
- Advisor
HUSS

- Senate - YORK SPIRIT - huge concern - sustainability of school

Clubs
What are our assumptions?
Diversity @ York â we are one of the most multicultural communities
Level of student engagement
Commuter culture
People are not engaged
Disconnect between information and it getting to people?
Clubs are not sustaining and are not doing very much
Limited cross-communication between different faculties and between students of different faculties
People are not very inspired
No central place of information about different activities at York
If we do this, we would be the central source of information?
Do students feel frustrated about the York experience?
What kind of people are students interested in hearing from?
Students are apathetic and indifferent
NEED: Report on the state of the University. How can we help to implement the recommendations?!
⢠What are the demographics of York Students?

⢠What are the demographics of students?

* jen receives from the Selection Committee for the York/Scandinavian Academic Exchange program...she has been nominated to participate in the Stockholm University, Sweden exchange for Winter 2002 academic term (this is pending acceptance from Stockholm University.
* jen can't sleep.
Spends the night writing this massive progress report...
Jen feels overwhelmed. Mind is spinning with ideas...and hopes...and a few fears
What's next she wonders...
What's next?
My mom made a comment to me this evening...she said 'jen doesn't live in the moment - she lives in the next moment'? I'm not sure if this is true...and if it is, I'm not sure if it is a good thing or a bad thing...but I think that it is definitely an interesting comment...
