 GROUND RULES/etiquette

  *   We are using Google Meet this week.  If possible, watch a video to familiarize you with this technology.  Here is one.<https://youtu.be/wGXI0KpkR50>

  *   Try to log on a little early so you have an opportunity to make sure things are working and get help connecting if needed.  One of the guides will be available on line 15-20 minutes before the listed start time.

  *   Mute your microphone when you are not speaking.  This cuts down on echoes, feedback and background noises during the session!

The mute button can be activated/deactivated by a keyboard shortcut:

PC: “ctrl” D

MAC: “cmd” D

(This is a “toggle” switch, it alternately turns the mic on and off)

  *   Raise your hand or wave if you want to speak so one of the guides can recognize you.  OH AND UNMUTE your microphone so we can hear you

  *   Say your name to begin — “This is Lynda” when you start speaking and say “I am complete” when you are finished.  AND MUTE your microphone again!

HINTS AND CLUES

  *   Check the lighting so we can see you — no backlight - face into the light. An extra light from your “good” side also helps

  *   Try to set your camera close to your screen to enable eye contact when you are speaking

  *   Turn off your video if you are eating or blowing your nose

  *   If you need them, print out some of the pages in this packet so they are handy in front of you.  OR open up windows on your computer with the most important items:  You may need 3-4 windows open so you can navigate back and forth among them:  One for the Meet main conference room, One for the shared document (blackboard/sticky wall for the session), One for the Social Research website, One for the agenda.

     *   Watch this video on how to work with multiple windows on a PC<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk_djG750y4>

     *   Watch this video on how to work with multiple windows on a MAC<https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204948>

     *   Watch this video on how to manage multiple tabs in Chrome<https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/how-to-manage-your-google-chrome-tabs>

  *   It is ok to be confused, sort of like these days . . .

  *    ROLES:  There are 3 designated roles for each session.  You, the PARTICIPANT is most important You are the person doing the research and interchange.  Then there is the SESSION GUIDE.  This person is familiar with the topic of the session and will set contexts and lead procedures.  The TECH PERSON will help us all to navigate our online environment

Subject: [Dialogue] Update of ICA Social Research Virtual Gathering

In one week - Sunday, May 10 - we gather virtually. Celebrate with us:

            * a new name (ICA Social Research Center),

            * a new website, and

            * an organization of the files into nine collections giving form to the wisdom and constructs of our 60-year heritage.

A new name. Do you remember when you were first involved in Institute research? Was it in 5th City when research was focused on taking 5th City to the world? Or was it in a Global Research Assembly where we shared our learnings? Wherever it was, what you learned about being a researcher has probably followed you ever since. Now as you hear the news you may find yourself analyzing what is going on and asking such questions as, “What does the world need now? What are positive trends I can act on to help them become a reality?” The reality of continuing to be researchers and engaging others is behind our new name.

A new website:  https://icaglobalarchives.org<https://eur05.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ficaglobalarchives.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Cc853d906ea8e4e62adbf08d7f51a538a%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637247365725683456&sdata=joV%2BMxHLXxHaAA483wOy8XC6zhooIWeQgiLyJNTTJ7c%3D&reserved=0>. The website feels a bit like the tip of an iceberg. Although we have spent years organizing files and now have put many of them on the website to share with the world, we wonder:

·       What is happening to the world in 2020 and what clues do we have of what is needed?

·       What have we learned from our past experiences that could be a resource to the trends and challenges we are facing today?

·       How can the website better serve to highlight people and projects of like-mind today and be a dialogue with our own learnings past and present?

These questions point to the intents we have for our virtual gathering. First we intend to dialogue together articulating life experiences and encounters with challenges like climate change and the virus. Finally we seek to identify any clues of how our past could be a resource to the future. That is it. Two things: analyzing the present reality and bringing past wisdom into the conversation.

The collections. We plan to do this thru focused conversations related to each collection. Each collection will be taped and have recorded notes to share with further working groups. The dialogues will result in touching our hearts, creating new perspectives and identifying possible action steps. The documentation will be shared with colleagues in Asia who will participate in a follow-up conference this summer.

We look forward to seeing you virtually for one or more of these conversations. Join us Sunday for a context on the next three days - or for any one (or more) of the conversations in the next three days.

We are all aware of the power of the corporate mind to tackle the seemingly impossible to make it possible. If this intrigues you, read the attachment for steps to register.

These are the times. We are among the sensitive and responsive people of 2020.

Peace, The Social Research Center Team

Lynda Cock, Doug Druckenmiller, Steve Ediger, Jack Gilles, Beret Griffith, Mary Laura Jones, Frank Knutson, Paul Noah, Wendell Refior, Oliveann Slotta, Karen Snyder, Jeanette Stanfield, Nelson Stover, Tim Wegner, Jim Wiegel
