The goals of the meeting were to figure out:
- what needs to be accomplished by the committee to further the mission/vision of HAA and all the rest (tasks)
- what we already have and how it fits
- who will do what to move it forward
1) go around and introductions
2) reviewed the Communications Doc
<insert link to file here>
it made sense to everyone, no changes requested
3) Discussed what we have already and how it fits
3.1 Discussed consolidating brands – Streamline all the site addresses and have everything off the main address. Groups could also follow the same naming convention. Retire all the old addresses.
everyone agrees
3.2 Discussed the division of the team sites into regions, pros and cons of regional brand vs teams/leagues
BO - leans towards listing the leagues listed off the top page, no regional distinctions
JW - Either would be fine… Regional could be OK but it must be easy
MA – a map would be good and help establish the context for the whole league
Decision made to just list the leagues and individual teams off the top HAA site
3.3 Discussed the model for communication
Everyone agrees with the model.
Everyone agrees the tools should be as integrated as possible so that across Canada everyone can see what others are doing, the site and web 2.0 apps should support this.
4) Who will do what to move it forward
Task 1) consolidate the sites
We need somebody to consolidate the sites
ACTION - > SK to try and find someone
Task 2) architecture and look and feel
We need someone to help vision the architecture of the site to connect all the pieces
Map
Create a hierarchy for the page
ACTION - > SK to try and find someone to help vision the architecture (maybe Robyn C) to try and look at the HAA pages to see how that can be improved promote HAA and all the league and teams, visual hierarchy
Task 3) groups and blogs
Do we need to promote?
A more central place to discuss
Blogs?
ACTION - > blogs and groups to be carried over until site is re-visioned
Task 4) HAA newsletter
Quarterly would be good
Pre-tourney scouting report
Use a template is best, recognizable
Content? Stats are good, what different teams have done,
JW - Once a month they send out an update on penalty minutes to promote the Year of beer prize. How long to compile? 5 minutes. Content easy to get? Yes… everyone is trained to provide.
ACTION - > JW to send SK his template and to be discussed next meeting
Task 5) calendar
We will start to promote the use of the calendars to participate in league business and events
ACTION - > To be carried over, once we have the site sorted out
General
JW - People want to be involved, they need discernable tasks that are simple and quick
TG - Our goal should be to help people get involved, develop a foundation so that people can help, people often don't have anything specific
Next meeting:
JW – not around Feb 16 week
MA – around all the time
ACTION - > SK to schedule meeting (maybe FEB 4th?) at 6pm Toronto time, week nights
ACTION - > SK to send minutes
