Call for volunteers! Are you interested in helping increase transparency around the CSPC’s incident reporting process? Do you have questions about the process or suggestions for how to make improvements? Here’s your opportunity to make meaningful change. Join HR Director and Conflict Resolution Coordinator, Skitty, as part of a disappearing task force for improving transparency around the CSPC’s incident reporting process.
The task force will begin in October and consist of six meetings. Participants will include members and volunteers. At the first meeting, we will determine the overall scope of the task force, along with the basic agenda for each of the remaining meetings, and schedule the remaining meetings according to majority availability. Any interested CSPC members are welcome to participate and will be asked to make a commitment to the entire process. If you need to miss a meeting, that's understandable, but the process works best if everyone is invested in doing the work. The recommendations we make will, for the most part, be implemented by us! Some of those recommendations will actually be implemented as we go along, while others will take more time and occur after the task force has wrapped up. The task force recommendations will be shared with the entire community at the December 13 Board Meeting, as well as in the newsletter, on Discord, and the CSPC’s other social media platforms. The Board is committed to supporting this task force and its recommendations, and several Board Members plan to participate throughout the process. Here is a breakdown of the preliminary details:

This is the first of many changes to come. There will likely be another disappearing task force early in the new year to address other aspects of the CSPC’s consent policy and practices. It will take a community of volunteers to shape and implement the many improvements we all envision. Let’s get to work!
