       Casual: 1 activity within 8 weeks period (1 per 2 months)
       Inactive: No activity within 8 weeks (no activity last 2 months)

       Active: 1 activity within 8 weeks (1 per 2 months)
       Casual: 1 activity within 16 weeks (1 per 4 months)

  • Proposal was rejected by Council voting. Council doesn't feel there is need to change these values now.

Communication About Webmaker

Council is still working and talking with Reps who expressed some concerns about Webmaker events.

Better Documenting Council Work

  • Council keeps working on improving communications and transparency.
  • Reps Team will help Council in this matter, specially with extended Council notes and gathering all relevant conversations that happen in the Council.
  • Council also will work to have as many conversations in public places as possible.

Whistler Meetup

  • Conversation about the Mozilla coincidental Work Week in June at Whistler and how Council will take part of it and work with the Reps and Participation team.

Council Responsiveness =

  • Discussion about Council responsiveness to all inquiries we receive.
  • Council reaffirms their compromise to handle all inquiries as soon as possible, but there are some situations that need consultation, voting or even additional conversation with other groups, so some delay should be expected in these cases.
  • Reps Team is working to help the Council more in some urgent interventions.
