Things people want to talk about

• Privacy Policy
• Adopting methods for successful peer assessment in short courses
• Bringing OCW to life through P2PU (Alison) 
  
• Making effective use of sign-up tasks/requirements
• Followers (transforming lurkers into a positive presence) (Alison) 
• Create a P2PU Participant Handbook 
  
• How do we set up a community review process for new courses?
• Do we need a P2PU Charter, what should it contain? 
• Eliminating the 'failed expectations' barrier in courses & community: Creating social contracts within p2pu - process & training (Alison)   
• process: technical formalization of behavioral contract & work agreement
• training: facilitation skills for building a social contract 
  
• Can we build a self-sustaining/self-implementing orientation process?  (Alison) 
• please see: http://pad.p2pu.org/orientation
• TASK: School Creation Protocol 
  
• Norms/Guidelines for participants and new community members
• as the community grows, this will become a bigger issue. in order for our values to be scalable, we need to have some more structured education in place 
• education on openness and CC licensing
• how do we better educate participants and new community members to copyright and licensing issues?
• integrate/highlight Copyright Guide (formerly known as tutorial) and our Choosing a License doc better
• conducting some sort of live seminar/q&a session, videos 
• not enough for people to check a box that they have read the terms
• maybe establish a pilot developing a way to educate and continuously educate members of the community on openness and the CC license and why P2PU is concerned with keeping it that way 
• "how to reuse our materials" sort of guide--just for people in general who access our site and participants/course organizers. Like, what's the point of licensing our stuff under CC BY-SA license? Well it enables you to do all these things... etc. Sort of like Wikipedia's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reusing_Wikipedia_content. We can encourage best practices for people to reuse P2PU content this way.
• The current and idealized "shape" of the University and pathways for future development.
• What types of people or classifications exist? What are their roles in the University?
• What processes require changes at scale?
• What is absolutely core to the continued existence and function of P2PU? How can that be sustained?
• How do we control administrative bloat?
• Philosophy of "schools" and setting up of specific Schools within P2PU
•  Considering the relationships between P2PU and other peer-based and OER projects.
• Is P2PU a threat in some cases? Why?
• When might overt collaborations with other projects help to achieve our goals? When might it not? 
• Governance 
• P2PU should have a public-facing 5-year and 10-year plan which provides benchmarks and details the governance structure.
• Sustainabilty- Funding, Partnerships, Sponsors, Philanthrophy etc 
• Ways for other organizations to use P2PU to run courses/workshops, ie. internal training
• ie. run CC online funding course for CC affiliates and others (next cycle): http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Grants/Writing_Successful_Applications_--_Online_Funding_Course
• Community Feedback process
• a form of tracked review-process - so we know who has looked at a course, posted feedback, and indicated that they "liked" it 
• Funding
• Balancing grant opportunities with added admin overheads and possible loss of focus
• What are some of the opportunities we want to go for in 2011/12? 
• Do we really need 'cycles'?
• I've been hearing a lot of people ask for courses out of sync with our cycles. It'd be great to allow these to happen more easily. (John) 
• Let's make a video for the homepage
