Proposal for the agenda

Agenda for NMM Interim Meeting in Potsdam 2015/01/6-8

- Proposal -

1.         Strategies of Action

·     The NMM book includes a chapter on Strategies of Action (see Roadmap)

·     It is still unclear what this includes: a summary of actions we observed in our cities, a reformulation and update of the INURA principles, a kind of hopeful outlook …?

·      In any case we as a small group can’t discuss this on our own. Thus, the Roadmap states: “By End of December 2014: Proposals to be sent in."

·     Who is going to send this call '''for proposals for strategies of action to the listserv ASAP'''?

·     Who summarizes and explains the basic idea of what strategies of action are all about?

·     Who collects the sent in proposals and prepares the discussion on this at the interim meeting?

2.         Chapter texts of the NMM book

·     Chapter 1 Theoretical and methodological approaches: present and discuss the revised text

·     Chapter 3 Comparisons: present and discuss the comparison texts i.e. their progress as indicated by the Roadmap (see also email by Angi Nov. 29th)

3.         Maps for Publication

·     Chapter 2: discuss how to optimize the conversion of online maps to print. Present proposals and examples of how to do this graphically (platforms, colors, shapes …)

·     Online Map: discuss and decide collectively on the online platform. Should it be done, when, and how does it relate to the book?

4.         Graphics and Layout of the NMM book

·     Present and discuss proposals for designing graphics book in general and chapter 1 in particular (e.g. the time arrow…)

5.         Time schedule

·     Check and update the Roadmap 2015 and the work packages

·     Any additional interim meetings necessary?

6.         INURA conference Athens 2015

·     Discuss how to present results of the NMM project to INURA to add to and not distract from the collective discussion on the new themes of solidarity economics and austerity…

Each Point of the Agenda requires someone to prepare it. Any volunteers?
