We have a meeting scheduled today at 16 CET or 15 UK time.
I would like to hold the meeting in case we have urgent items to discuss. Additionally I would like to schedule a meeting for next Monday at 4PM as a wrap up to the event and invite Araz and others.

Regarding the topics to discuss, I have a couple of questions to ask, because I'm still new to the process :-) 1. What are the topics that will be discussed in the first meeting with the Prague representatives, and with Cyprus? 2. When can we expect the full list of the committee members from them? It would be great to have the names of the two hackathon chairs for Prague by the end of October, so I could start working with them sooner this year. 3. With the Cyprus committee, we have 1
Thanks so much Dorota, these are some of the questions I have listed.

Hi Bev,
I will attend the meeting.
Regarding the topics to discuss, I have a couple of questions to ask, because I'm still new to the process :-)
It is our pleasure to inform you of the decision by the womENcourage Steering Committee regarding your proposal to host the ACM Celebration of Women in Computing: womENcourage 2022 at the University of Central Lancashire Cyprus (UCLan Cyprus) is successful. We are impressed with the quality of your proposal and wish to thank you for the care and the effort you put in preparing the proposal.
Dear Bev, This is great news. Thank you for this opportunity.
I will inform the organising committee, emphasizing the confidential nature of the news, and discuss the dates and theme of the event so that we can provide significant input into our Skype discussion.
When would you like to organise the Skype call? I would propose the first week of October, in order to allow the academics to complete their responsibilities for the new academic year, which are more during the last two weeks of September due to induction events and beginning of classes.
Thanks for the great start on the letter. I’ve done some additional edits and I’m very happy with it. Among my edits, I thought important to suggest they do a doodle poll to fix the date, as before it was a bit open ended. With so many people involved, it will require a bit of coordination, especially as term is soon to start at various universities.
I think it is a good letter so I only made one tiny change. This is also a good reminder to update the 'Lessons Learned Template.' Which we will copy for both of the new groups. As always update any section with additional information that you feel may help future organising committees.
Thanks Bev for the letter, and Adriana and Ruth for the additional edits.
Just a comment: should we add in this letter that for the moment the hosting of womENcourage 2022 must be "no public"? or just tell that to the organisers by other way?
Regarding the "womENcourage Timeline and Guidebook", if we are able to select the host of the event two years in advance, maybe we could move some items to be done before "September". For instance, it would be great that at the end of any womENcourage we could announce the next edition with a
Absolutely!! Very good point Núria! I think we can add that. Stressing that the news have to be kept under wraps until it is announced on the closing session of womENcourage 2021. Adriana // If this is work related, you might want to cc me here: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>

Agreed, it is best to put it into the email from the beginning. The Timeline and Guidebook held in the template link is the generic one. It can be copied directly for the next host. For the following hosts, as we hope to have a two year lead in I agree wholeheartedly with Nurias suggestion. I want to add a little about letting section chairs work on their sections first. I'm not sure how to phrase it but a Chair should not make micro decisions or micro manage if at all possible. Each section chair should be selected
I think not everybody has received this information.
I tried to contact with the president of Czechitas association, and she answered me. She tried to contact with Ondřej Čejka who was in charge of the proposal.
At the end we have the answers to our final questions about their proposal.
I would like to apologize for forgetting to send out the reminder for the meeting today and for not sending the update about the proposals.
Cypress claims the final draft will be available later today, unfortunately too late for the meeting today. But they are happy to do 2022 as well as 2021.

Agree - would keep the message positive. But we want extra motivation to visit us later.
If we get Facebook support (hello, supporters team?), too - we can produce T-Shirt for everybody after the event, too.
So we would ask everybody on this point about their size. The message is - visit us - if you are international participant you will get your welcome pack anyway - but in addition you can get also your T-Shirt if quick enough.

I have two questions;
1. CVENT said student id card is asking on most of the events and one of us should check the ids every-time a student registered. Do we really need this? We had never had this question before. 2. I talked with Araz, he said Baku will not mail any shirts, and registrants need to come and pick up from the university. He said they budged 100 t-shirts and they need the sizes.. This may confuse the registrants but he suggests to

I followed the registration procedure and it is fine, now. Thanks !
The only comment is that when you get the registration summary, the only options are cancel or next. If you detect some error, it is not possible to go to the previous page for corrections, so it seems you need to start a new registration.
Maybe the wording should reflect that unfortunately we are unable to ship them? However, part of me thinks that this is creating an inequality of experience amongst participants, and perhaps a better solution would be just ordering the t-shirts for the local organising team (who would still have to go and collect them from ADA Uni). In that case, I would ask for the t-shirt sizes only if the participant is local (rather than to everyone, and then make them feel they are missing out on something). What do you think Araz?
I think if someone puts in the effort to go to Baku in the next year, they should get a t-shirt. But that should be very clear.
And I also believe that the entire organizing team should get shirts. Not just Local, so we either ship them, which we have added to the budget. Or have someone who goes pick them up and bring back to Europe for us.

I hope you are doing well. The registration page is almost complete. Can you please check the link <https://www.cvent.com/events/acm-we-celebration-of-women-in-computing-womencourage-2020/event-summary-85986967f16d496c86377d441212830c.aspx?tw=FF-DD-D3-81-D9-B9-E3-82-AF-ED-4C-D7-45-86-1A-F9>to test if everything is fine?
I found two things that will be taken care of by CVENT but haven't replied yet.
1. Non-member profession is asking for student id card too 2. There is an extra receipt ticket at the end which I have no idea about the meaning.
I'm trying to register as ACM member but the system is asking me as mandatory to add a proof of student status !!?? I can not pass to the next page.
In addition, I'm curious about asking for T-shirt size. Being an online event, will the organizers mail t-shirts to the participants?

Thank you for your feedback. I mailed that issue to CVENT but no reply yet. About the tshirts, I think Baku will send to all participants because Araz asked me to add tshirt sizes. I asked him that but no reply either :)

We had a final look at the womENcourage 2020 budget put into the ACM template - during the yesterday's call. Please see it attached and kindly review - before I send it to ACM headquarters for further processing - I guess it is the next step, isn't it?
The normal procedure would be for Ruth to send it to ACM headquarters, and she can arrange a meeting for you and her to gain approval.
If she does not mind, you can send it and arrange the meeting.
I still have concern that we have a negative in the bottom line. I would take another 1000 out of the site visit costs. And prepare how to defend your registration numbers.
* We discussed the matter of 'Committee travel' and 'Contingency' lines that roughly balance each-other. Ruth believes we need to keep the lines at least. * Totally fine if Ruth sends it - I don't know the details of the process anyway - our expenditure numbers are somehow pessimistic, so it may decrease. Unusual event format makes predictions hard. * Defend the registration numbers? I guess we won't know the real situation until we are two weeks into the registration period.
Please see the link below which is the rubric that we used for the decision last year. Can you please point out to me the areas where you think you need more information. I have that the student residences are 35-45 euros, can you please see if anything else stands out to you and just send me a note, so I can send it along to them.
Please see attached both the last approved budget put into the ACM template and the last draft of the program as Excel files. Both are to be uploaded to the shared folder, too.
It was good to quickly review the ACM budget template. The updated files are in the shared folder.
As agreed, I will send a meeting request for Friday to finalize the budget and review and finalize the program.
By the way, I believe we need to either remove the 15% contingency (which Ruth rightly mentioned that we may not need it) or Committee Travel (which we added at the end) to balance the sheets. What do yo think?

Hope you are all doing fine. The onlin registration supposed to be opened tomorrow, however the website is not ready yet. I am still waiting for CVENT to finish the building.
It tooK longer because I waited for the workshop dates but it was not ready and I asked Brenda (from CVENT) to build at least the site so we could add workshop schedule later. I think we need one more week, so can we postpone the online registration date to 27 July?
Rukiye, should we make a meeting to coordinate everything for you, I know I need to get you the link to the CV database. But is there anything else you need from all of us.

After I got the login information from CVENT, i will add all needed Information and send you all a test link to see if everything is okay with the form.
Can you collect the information on CVENT, I think I saw something last year where you could create a list for supporters.

Due to minor structural changes to the ACM-W Europe Executive Committee roles I have had to rename the womENcourage Steering Committee folder. Previously named 'Celebrations Steering Committee' I have renamed it 'womENcourage Steering Committee'. This was done due to new Regional requirements. We have a Celebrations Chair which will focus on supporting regional celebrations. I do not want them mixed up with the work of our womENcourage event which is our flagship event. Both are still working groups of the ACM-W Europe. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks again for your proposal for hosting womENcourage 2021. The steering committee appreciates your detailed proposal.
We are very interested in your proposal and have placed it in first place. However, we would like to get clarification on a few points. You are welcome to answer by email or perhaps it is more efficient for you to have a short conference call to discuss these topics.

I hope that all is well with you and your colleagues.
I am writing to confirm that you will be updating the proposal to include the answers to the questions we posed in the previous email. Because of Covid, we are a bit behind, but would like to make a decision in our meeting next week Monday 24th August.
Really appreciate the collaboration on the letter.
Please check it again I have tried to respond and fix all the issues you pointed out. I hope I got everything, I will send it tomorrow to Ondrej, in the afternoon.

Please edit questions and comments or just add your changes so I can send it by end of day tomorrow.
I think that we need to increase the number of t-shirts significantly. Include one each for the ACM HQ, SC, keynote speakers and others. It was always better when all students get a t-shirt and other t-shirts are available to buy. As Bev said, this is a detail for later but I think it is good to keep it in mind.

Since the steering committee meeting at 4PM on Third Monday has been taken over because of the covid crisis, is there another time we can discuss this week regarding the event for next year.
Main Topics:
2021 call Branding status New topics.
I have sent an email where you can review the proposals and the email I suggest to send to the proposers. Please make comments or suggestions.
I have put a draft letter for the two proposals in the drive here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vy5Qn5TOiYsLtYqJCRDxPq-Rr_R9YWEJWYrXIg8ozno/edit
Please review when you have a few minutes. I would like to get this sent out before the 15th as we promised.
Do you want to mention recommending hosting a local event if they have not already done so? Where the term 'full budget' is written should we be more explicit as in the past some applicants have not filled this in. Perhaps we should ask for a more detailed breakdown in all areas of the budget. It would seem like overkill but we don't want to have to ask them again. If you feel that it is too early that is ok too. Whatever you feel is best is fine.
I have put the two call responses into the call folder here <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1AaPHhR_rMYy5ULPgiMtSKH72Pups0wU Z> https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1AaPHhR_rMYy5ULPgiMtSKH72Pups0wUZ
My suggestion at this point is to send both an email and ask them to continue working on their proposals with the full call documents. We need to inform Prague, that if Araz would like to hold next year, we might need to push thiers out to 2022.
I don't think that we made a final decision so we must send the same message to both. We can say that we recommend that you consider a national event for now and to keep working on your proposal for the next available date. We should also add a statement indicating that Azerbaijan may host the next physical event.
I agree, I will draft an email and send it around for review.
We indicated that we would have an answer on the call by 15th, just want to be proactive to make sure both get some information before the 15th.
Hopefully by the time we get the full proposals we will know if Azerbaijan will host in 2021. Additionally we can offer to hold a call with both for development of the proposals.

This event is focused on European partners. The ACM have many similar events in the US which may be more suitable to your needs. Please take a look at the following website for celebrations near you. https://women.acm.org/acm-w-celebrations/ If there is no celebration in your vicinity we can certainly provide advice to you on hosting your own celebration. Please feel free to stay in touch if you have further questions. Also feel free to submit a poster or other submission to the current womENcourage website. https://womencourage.acm.org/2020/
Hi Everyone, just a reminder that next Monday we have a meeting at 16:00 CET,
I will be putting the agenda together here https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1ASMWI2RAA01Q-aYtr <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1ASMWI2RAA01Q-aYtre659OmiySXbkqEa> e659OmiySXbkqEa <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1ASMWI2RAA01Q-aYtre659OmiySXbkqEa>

I have added information on the required approval form that the ACM needs before any invoice can be paid. I put this under the first Sept heading as it is of paramount importance.

We met in Azerbaijan with Araz and Ulduz this weekend and updated the mailing list document <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eqHKSOZiVccFG4pYsdHyMZ66Ftkee4Z22SeG2VNYImQ/edit> with appropriate names.
Can you please initiate the process to get these lists updated and let us know once it is completed.
The steering committee has been working hard on creating the Call for womENcourage 2021, the text and other docs can be found here <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1_LIH7TL6guDberqBpG7KHhHnyEBV_dK3>. We would like for this to be added to the March 2020 newsletter, added to the ACM W Europe website, and advertised on Social Media. We expect the final versions to be ready on Friday 28 February. Can you please let us know with whom we should work to get this completed?
Hello, You are talking to the right person. I will make sure it all gets disseminated at the right time. Thanks

Hello Bev, I hope you are doing well, and not too affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
I am preparing the April newsletter and I was wondering if there were any updates to the call for expression for 2021 due to Covid-19? Should I publish it as it was published in March?
Kind regards, --Cigdem

If I remember correctly the submissions came in at the last minute in previous years. I agree that there should not need to be an extension yet. Given the uncertainty it is hard for us to know how things will change anyway so we may as well wait for the deadline to pass.
I would like to thank you all for spending your weekend for the womENcourage 2020 site visit meetings. Hosting this international event at ADA University is an exciting opportunity, and every member has important role to play. Azerbaijan Tourism Board provided a fantastic support.
Special thanks go to International Steering Committee members - Ruth, Adriana, Dorota, Bev and Rukiya, who tirelessly worked with us to finalize some critical points and define the immediate actions.
Thank you very much for the great organizations and friendly hospitality. It was a great weekend.
See you in September!

I want to see if we could pre-book the accommodation for Baku for the womencourage visit and the associated ACM-W Europe meetings. I only want to get an idea of possible dates and times. We may be able to pre-book the steering committee group flights and accommodation which would be a great help. Booking flights early may help with costs.
We very much look forward to hosting you in Baku. Please see attached the latest version of the visit program. You will be met in the airport by our drivers holding an ADA University sign.
Dear Ruth, Adriana and Dorota, as you can see we plan to bring you on campus tomorrow and have Ruth to say few words about the womENcourage 2020 at the Academic Excellence Day, where we will have also some industry representatives i.e. potential local sponsors.
Our regularly scheduled meeting is planned for tomorrow, and I would like to meet if it is possible for all of you.
Topic will be the call for next year. Documents from last year can be found here. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1ZVet4VC00hmV2WaFmvl2xuR-HfR1DPyH
We will review the call for expressions of interest, and then prepare the draft to be distribute in the newsletter next month.
Please see attached the current draft. We are to organize airport transfer to hotel. We will finalize the program with partners from Tourism Board and post it in the shared folder.
Thank you very much, Araz. The program looks great and detailed. Please let me know if you need anything from Turkey :)
Best regards, Rukiye

Looking at the schedule, I think it is important that we have time for
1. review your planned budget, 2. the timeline of the event, 3. important dates, 4. time for individual groups 1. hackathon team, 2. sponsor and supporter team. 3. registration team, 4. poster team, 5. program committee, 6. sponsorship team. 7. who did I miss
There are probably more topics but I really think 1.5 hours Saturday morning may not be enough, especially for individual group meetings.
All looks in order in what respects to me and Dorota, but I’ll let her confirm after she double-checks for herself. It’s ok to do the transfer from the airport direct to the hotel as they are expecting us as a late check-in (we’ve got it booked for the night before). Many thanks for the great care put into the itinerary of our visit. Looking forward to it already! Also, a quick question: I’m in the process of requesting my visa for Azerbaijan, and I wonder what would you advise I enter as purpose of the visit. The
Looking for a "simple" option, I doubt between tourism or education when I was filling the visa form. Finally I wrote "education" and I got the visa without any additional questions. Hope this helps.

It is always nice to hear from you. Your insight serves you well. In fact, we have been advising to select "science" as purpose for all guests coming for IOI2019 and it worked well: https://ioi2019.az/en-content-7.html
Thanks also to Bev, Rukiye, Nuria for feedback. I think we will finalize and send around the agenda very soon.
Thanks for clarification. I believe, we need to clearly understand division of work between local and international team. Our understanding was that the ISC will deal with traditional international sponsors, while the local team will work with the local sponsors. What is the strategy here?
The steering committee are advisors, you need to appoint supporter chairs for both domestic and international support.
I am happy to help with getting you up and running but until now no one has even requested help. Do you have a supporter chair?

Please see the draft visit program: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RIh0EZu9mSt3OXHypRAxdhN5_4YDWbhc/view?usp=sharing I expect some changes as
* we do not know your exact check-in/check-out dates/times. * Bev, your return flight seems to be the same time with other 3 colleagues, but the flight number is different in the file. Please double-check. * Please note a special Excellence Day event with early-arrival colleagues.
There is a spreadsheet which is called Contact List which gives you the emails and other contact info for previous supporters, normally by now we have sent emails to everyone to try and get support.
Hope this message finds you well. We look forward for the International Steering Committee (ISC) Site Visit on 22-23 February. I am putting together the visit program and we have few quick questions:
1. Who are visiting Baku? 2. What was the final hotel arrangement? 3. What are the flight details (arrival/departure)?
Ruth, Adriana, Dorota, Bev, Nuria, and Rukiye will attend. We have rooms reserved in the Boulevard Hotel Baku as recommended by the original application. All of us will be ready for a meeting on Saturday starting at 9AM, several will need to leave on the 13:45 Sunday Turkish Airlines flight, So we could have meetings from 9 until 12 on Sunday with a taxi direct to the airport.
Marcia asked if everyone wants a king bed or two twin room. Please speak up if you do not want a king.
Additionally it looks like the rooms are very reasonable so if you have to stay an extra night to get a better or more reasonable flight then please do so.
I will arrive in the night of the 20th and will return on Monday 24th so I do not feel like I have to rush out at noon on Sunday.
After looking at the current flights and schedules in the spreadsheet, and after talking to Ruth, it is decided we will travel directly to Baku sometime on the 21st of February, with the intention of meeting on the 22nd at 9AM with the organizing team. Please book the most direct flights and reasonable flights to Baku.
Here is the list I sent to Paola last year for the site visit. Please comment and edit so we can send it to Araz for their planning. I have put this on the drive here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ANEc_Vh7_Ado9wdEszeIC3qEujkrc-nanXQuCUp Xe2M/edit> . It is in the google drive for womENcourage 2020.

Hi all,
Please use my [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> email from now on. I will loose access to this address in a few months because it is my university one.
20 January is the Day of Mourning and National Pride commemorating 1990 soviet troops attack in Baku, and our Spring 2020 classes start right after on 21 January, so it will be busy. However the local team aims to meet on Thursday, 23 January, and we may need to consult with you afterwards - next week.
The steering committee monthly meeting is on Monday the 21st at 16 CET.
It would be nice if we could have an update on the status of the organizing team.
I have not seen an invite for the organizing team meeting, would like to know when it will occur and to get an update on the timeline and program plans.
Thanks for keeping your eye on this - we need to activate the inception and finalize planning.
Several kind notes from my end:
1. Last time I checked the Excel file (?) with ACM template for budget was not in shared folder 2. We did not get credentials for official website yet 3. What are the final dates for Site Visit - 22-23 February? 4. Just today we secured 20,000 AZN = 11,765 USD local sponsorship for the womENcourage 2020 from PASA Bank.
Congratulations on getting such a good start on the funding! I am sure that you will do well. Regarding the visit dates, I believe that 22-23 February will be fine.

Sorry for the spam, I somehow sent the email prior to finishing it. Congratulations for securing the 11000 for womENcourage funding.
1. I put the budget template in the correct folder now, you can find it in the Budget Directory. 2. I sent an email to Alexandra requesting help for the website. 3. I will confirm the dates and the number of attendees in the meeting today. Can you please let me know if any of the organizing team plan to attend?
As you know Ruth has proposed that you join the ACM W Europe Steering Committee. The entire committee are happy that you agreed to join us on the project.
The womENcourage SC promotes the mission and vision of ACM-WE through facilitating the organization of womENcourage Celebrations. We focus on all organizational aspects ensuring the quality and continuity of this important community event.
I realize that this appears that Monica was not copied. I have sent her a separate email to ask if she got it. I will resend if necessary.

This is to remind you that we have a Steering Committee meeting on 20th of January at 16:00 CET.
Please check out the Agenda here <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XzwnEheRLuDRTrh86NS-TbYX3PexlEVNZpAvYCca8Gk/edit> ! Please update as this document is a work in progress.
Can we get the list of womENcourage participants/scholarship recipients from Azerbaijan over the years? We have got some list of those we remember, but thought it won't hurt if double-check.
Any attendee from previous years who indicated an approval to receive communications regarding womENcourage can be contacted if we compose a suitable message. This will allow us to ask them if they are willing to have their contact details forwarded to you in accordance with data protection laws.

I have your information to the meeting minutes in the womENcourage 2020 drive <https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1BzWUrM5EukCvLjnOivxqTvEjYZfvzwKd> meeting minutes folder. I think it is useful if we keep all minutes available on the drive, then they will not get lost in the emails.

Just tagging on this e-mail, I would love to introduce the womENcourage 2020 organising committee in our next ACM-W Europe newsletter in January. It would be great if you would send me to profile and photo information, and I would love to hear from you a few words on what you hope to accomplish in the conference.

We need to review the next three months of Lessons learned. Should not take long to go through Feb, March and April
I am updating the mailing list so need details (email address) for Monika Nugent. She will be invited to the next meeting and will be requested to join the site visit if she is available. (Ruth, please send introduction.
It was nice to talk to you yesterday. Below are slightly disorganized actions points:

I hope you are doing well. This is a bit different than what we did last year.
If you remember, we have already generic aliases set for womENcourage - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_TQAnAIdHtlMDkTXOjExkX-bPuDTBb_2VEztidDblmE/edit And, we just change the names in this document to represent 2020?
However, from your e-mail, I understand you would like to create new mailing lists specifically for 2020?
Our goal for the mailing lists is to avoid a terrible confusion that occurred last year. One mailing list (tutorials) was left in the website but the wrong emails were listed, needless to say the new chairs did not receive the tutorial submissions and they were not considered for the event. The authors never received information and we did not even know who sent anything until they came back to us.
Ruth has arranged to talk to me with the general ACM-W Europe mailing lists tomorrow.
For, womENcourage, I think your suggestion is good for avoiding confusion indeed. but also we would need to provide the e-mail addresses that should be registered under each mailing list. I can update the document we have with the new suggested mailing list names, and then tell Marcia to create those (I cannot create them, it was Marcia who created them before), and delete the older ones to avoid any confusion/mix-up.
We can create the mailing lists as soon as I have the details from Araz.
Is it ok if I give him access to see so he knows what is needed.

I was just writing him an email about the meeting minutes, I can inform him of the document and what is required. I will copy you.
I also added Monika Nugent to the ACM_SC mailing list but I do not yet have her email. Ruth can give that to us, Or you can just get it from her tomorrow.
Ok I sent the email and added him to the share, the others can just look but not edit.
Additionally I made changes to the steering committee, looks like this version is very old and did not have the current ACM_WE or even SC members, I updated that for you.
This is great, thanks! I will update the rest tomorrow with Ruth, and when you let me know that the womENcourage part is complete, I will send it to Marcia to implement the changes.

We are still missing some of the people for the womENcourage list, but the SC list is good. I hope they will have the womENcourage list soon. I would go ahead and have Marcia implement everything but the lists that have no one.
I will send a note to Araz to impress upon him that it is important
It would be helpful if you can send us the names for the list and any other status that you have ahead of December 16th.
Especially, someone who can work with Supporters to get emails out before your Christmas holidays.

I have put in your google drive our latest version of the lessons learned document. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1h1oMoPgnPP3d57dqp_CwbuaffummyDE9
The steering committee has updated this version for October, November and December, and parts of January. We will continue to collate the information to complete the months in advance of what you need the information.
I just noticed that the lessons learned document is in the womENcourage 2018 folder, I believe we should move all the drafts to the Steering Committee folder and make the current version available on the 2020 drive, thereby only editing on the 2020 until it is complete and then saving a version on the SC folder.
Simple reminder that we have a steering committee meeting next Monday 18th November.
Please check the Lessons Learned 2019 document <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xe53H-iz6dRv90nNaRf_cdr88iPd0UbwwX_Z26t SGiA/edit> . We are doing well on the document, take a look at what has been added and continue working on your sections. Would like to send to Araz and team by Monday after the meeting.
Due to a last minute university related activity that I have to attend, I will not be able to join the meeting today. I was hoping to work on the Lessons Learned Document during the weekend, unfortunately did not have time for that :( It is in my ToDo List.
I will read the minutes of the meeting later tonight.

I would like to ask whether I could send an updated version of the paper published within the womenEncourage2019 conference in Rome, Italy with the title "A Recommender for Mobility as a Service" and the paper number 101.
As you can see I had already submitted a related question in July for the issue, but did not received any answer, could you please inform me how can that be resolved so that I include the important acknowledgement to the project which I participate ?
Dear Konstantina, Thank you for sending the updated version of your paper. We will look into ways of adding your new version to the womENcourage 2019 Web site.

Adriana, Nuria please a few words about the poster sessions.
Chiara, thanks so much for your input on the Wsense Lab. Please review my changes
From the original budget (Budget Separated) we had €22,045 available. At the final spend we have €21,700 spent on scholarships. Bev, can you check if you agree with my figures? The cash payment we are going to make is €16,500 without the registration fees. Based on the people with scholarships who signed or who registered on CVENT we have 43 local, 50 remote and 11 sigchi or other scholarships. If students did not sign and did not register on CVENT then they have been marked absent and will not be paid as is normal.
I need to know how many scholarships we need to pay for the budget. I knew we might have some that did not attend or not marked as a participant. So I started with the stack of badges that were not picked up, I compared these with the registration and removed any badges where the people were marked attended.
Donatella and I had a meeting late last night where we went through the list of scholarship receivers of all types. When I get home from work today I will send on the summary but we are inside of our budget.

We need to pull together the summary of the event for a blog for the newsletter. As you have seen Cigdem has started the blog here. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/17j5NRTjXbMP4j18TuxN-WY0qGPTwWwaRoxwq9T3 7NnQ/edit> https://docs.google.com/document/d/17j5NRTjXbMP4j18TuxN-WY0qGPTwWwaRoxwq9T37 NnQ/edit#
So we need to pull together a short summary to wrap up the event in this blog. I will work with Paola and with CVent to get the basic information going.
Bev, I will be presenting at the AMC Europe Council meeting on Tue morning and will include budget and event information.
I do not want to distract from the current plan or add to already full plate. I will be in touch on Monday to pull in some stats and highlights into the presentation for the Council.
I went to what I thought was the meeting minutes of our meeting on the 19th and found it cut short. SO I am going to recreate what is in my head of what I asked you to do for the supporter newsletter.
Please fill out the doodle form for future meetings, please check all your available times. I realize times will change as University schedules change and we will revisit in January.

Our current meetings are on the third Monday of the month at 13:00 CET, we have changed to later in the day on third Monday when people are traveling.
Thanks for the follow up. I am adding Ms Kamilla Zeynalova (Manager for Marketing and Communications at ADA University), Ms Shafag Mehraliyeva (a fellow faculty member and living legend of Azerbaijani journalism) and Dr Vafa Kazdal (my Vice Rector for Academic Affairs, prominent educator in Azerbaijan). We will need to agree time when all colleagues are available.
Hello all, Very happy to meet you by e-mail, and hoping to talk to you soon.
Araz I started drafting a paragraph based on the information you provided:
"We are happy to announce 7th womENcourage, womENcourage 2020, will be in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The conference theme this year is "(Needs to be filled in)”.
Azerbaijan keeps alive the tradition of the first democratic republic (1918) in the Muslim East, where women were granted the right to vote in 1919, before many Western democracies.
We are happy to announce that the 7th ACM Celebration of Women in Computing: womENcourage 2020, will be in Baku, Azerbaijan. The conference theme this year is "The equation has two sides”.
Azerbaijan keeps alive the tradition of the first democratic republic (1918) in the Muslim East, where women were granted the right to vote in 1919, before many Western democracies.
Thank you for the information. Would you like to share pictures of Dr. Vada Kazdal and Ms. Ulduz Khalilava? Am I correct to understand that they will be chairing the conference?
Thank you, --Cigdem

To continue the good coverage we had during Rome, I would like to conclude September with participant evaluations from Rome and the announcement of womENcourage 2020 on social media.
Could you provide a pointer to what information could we use? This would also be essential for the newsletter next month.
Also, I remember Reyyan mentioning the womENcourage summary report? Could you let me know who is responsible for that?
That would be great, thanks! I will look at them and see whether we can put together a blog article. I should be able to get back to you tomorrow.

Hello, I've taken a look at the feedback, and I think for a blog post, we would need to deeper analysis, and have a section on what we could improve on. There are some very positive and also negative comments on organisation, conflicting remarks about "great food" and "not enough food" etc. But, I pulled the comments, normalised the text, and did a wordcloud (Attached) which I am happy to share on social media. As I said, the blog post would need more work. What do you think?
Dear Cigdem, I think the wordcloud is great :) About the food: people did not come out to eat at the same time due to parallel events and that might be the reason for conflicting feedback. Best wishes. Reyyan

About the blog post after the event my idea for the future is to have pre-defined people (volunteers, scholarship winners, ...) responsible to write about each session of the event and share with the communications chair. Especially when we have parallel events at least one volunteer should info about one event (preferably two :)
I noticed this and on the last day I went out to eat at 1PM and the buffet was closing down even though it was opened at 12:30. I asked the chef what is going on and he said he served 300 people, well there were not 300 people there on that day.
Such a good idea Reyyan, I think this should be our goal, that everyone Is assigned and then it just comes together.

No one who attended that workshop was fed at all. I was told they fed 300 people too. Araz was at another talk or workshop and they also were not fed. It would have been a lot of people.

Hello Bev, Reyyan, all, These problems do happen. Organising events are difficult. The planned "evaluation" blog post can start with the word cloud, and then have quotes from the participants. For the areas where improvements were suggested, maybe we can use sth. we used to when I was working at a university: To acknowledge the requests for improvements, we had: You said: " " and We will: " " or We did: "" Maybe we can have such a thing. I will draft a template and share the link, and then, Bev, can you fill in the gaps?
As already discussed, it would be good to think of the collected information as ‘community feedback’ (rather than ‘evaluation’). We are organizing events for the community and are getting input for the future.
It is a bit tricky to report the feedback publicly. Namely, the SC is processing participants’ comments directed to the outcomes of the organizers’ effort. So, we need to be sensitive about both the organizers and the community. We have a similar situation when presenting information to the supporters. But, I am confident we will find a way to be informative
I've worked on the blog for feedback: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17j5NRTjXbMP4j18TuxN-WY0qGPTwWwaRoxwq9T37NnQ/edit# Bev, consider this as a first draft and please add to this. Natasa, I agree with your comments on finding the right tone, and I tried to give a very positive overview, plus a "we heard you and are working on it" at the end. I do not think it is very relevant to talk about air conditioning or food or etc. issues that stemmed mainly from the venue.
Thanks for all the hard work, this is a start and I think it will work into a good article. However, the document I am working on is reports for the supporters, with details on the attendees and not necessarily for a blog.
I like this article as a start but if someone did not attend it leaves them in the dark about what happened and why the comments might be relevant. I believe we need before this blog an overview blog to tell what happened and who the attendees are.
Hello Bev, Yes, I was hoping you would help with the overview text. I’ve put down all I could derive from the data... Hoping somebody will fill in the gaps. Thanks, -Cigdem

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate and thank you for hosting womENcourage 2020 in Azerbaijan. I, personally, will be looking forward to it.
Now that womENcourage 2019 is over, the ACM-WE outreach team would like to make the announcement for womENcourage 2020 in the October newsletter, and on social media. As usual, the deadline for the newsletter is the 10th of the month (October 10).
Dear Cigdem, It is always nice to hear from you. I will continue the correspondence from my ADA email and add some Baku team members to further communication with an aim to decide on our first meeting.
Many thanks,Araz

Thanks for your message. The evaluation process is clear, no problems.
My concerns are about logistics.
Each poster will be "visible" just during one session of one hour, except the 10 best papers.
On one hand, authors have dedicated lot of time preparing the first submission, preparing the final version, preparing the poster, travelling with it,.. just to have one hour visibility. A bit disappointing.
We now have onsite arrival set up for us to use. Everyone that will be at the check in desk on Monday and Tuesday morning should download the app and login with this information.

There is no question on general organization, logistics, information for participants,...
Maybe just one general question grading (1-10) the conference for those aspects could be enough.
A question just before 11. What we can improve for our future womENcourage Celebrations? and 12. What was your favorite part of the entire Celebration?
My thought is that each survey can be filled once, and one raffle number for each filled survey, so the possibility is that each person receives raffle chances.
I removed the organization, logistics and such because those questions will come with the larger survey from ACM that is sent out each year. If you think we need it in addition then we can add one question.
Regarding the raffles, I can identify only the people that completed all the surveys and only consider those. (of course they should put their name in as well)
This way we can try to make people complete all the 3 days and not just one day. I believe we still have a bit too much, because we ask for questions about every session and people might not have attended. But it's ok I guess, the questions will be optional. We will go with whatever approach you think is best.
I think we should put that they should only fill out what they attended. And put a NA option on each one.

Here are the links to all the feedback forms: https://forms.gle/Pv2wWuqp3kqDCWXh7 - Day one https://forms.gle/63SMPdZ9josYBs1ZA - Day two https://forms.gle/Y9m7PkyPd95Dgc8R7 - Day three

However, the joining of all the workshops into one on day two does not fit our goals, there are only 3 workshops and we would like to identify separate feedback for each. So please make them as I indicated. It would be very disappointing for the workshop presenters when they do not receive separate feedback for their sessions.
ditto on the workshop comments for day 3, we need individual input for each workshop.
You can put the sentence before each one.
Did you attend workshop xxxx, if so answer the following questions.
We cannot have them all in one questions, just does not give us enough information.

Ok will change that. I have the same questions but they were just grouped in a grid. 'did you attend any workshops' is not a question we expect an answer. The answers are individually pe each workshop speaker/ moderator and each workshop content.
I will make them separately if you thing that visually will be better.
The result is the each workshop gets ratings from the participants which is invaluable to the presenters. They would be very disappointed if they get no real ratings and input.
I would like comments for each workshop also, as this is the best information for them.

Dear Paola and Tiziana, As promised, I am sending you a press briefing document that, I hope will be helpful to you when taking part in the PR event on Tue about womENcourage 2019 and Women in ICT. We obtained details about the event (in Italian) and thanks to Google Translate ☺ got a better idea what is involved.
Hi Natasa, I am in Berlin now giving a keynote talk at IEEE ICCE and will be on aflight tonight, so unfortunately cannot deal with this issue. While I understand your points, please note that this is an Italian press conference, there will be local politicians speaking, our Rector, etc., so it is not intended to be the ACM press conference and we do not have a full control on it. Insteas, we would appreciate more coverage on media about the event by ACM and ACM-WE, it was really scarce since now. Tiziana
Dear Tiziana, I fully understand the situation. The issue is that this press event, even though local, refers to womENcourage explicitly and mentions the ‘three days of rich programme’ for women, etc. So, by its nature immediately implies ACM and ACM-WE even though the local politicians are not interested in referring to it and want to drive their agenda. (Well, we received very generous local support and this is now the pay back).
Hello, I have removed Paola, Tiziana and Marco to reflect on Tiziana’s criticism.
I think it’s a just point. While we focus on communications mostly through our channels, we have not much talked about wider press coverage as ACM-We.
What is ACM’s general support for such activities? From finding outlets to helping to tune the message to media training? I believe Tiziana is pointing out the lack of this in her email. And we should think if there is anything we can do as ACM.
Honestly speaking I don't think we will obtain much even from the press conference they have organized. As Tiziana says it will be institutional. Apart for the problem of institutionally covering also ACM (in the guidelines in preparation for the future I think we should state communication is an important activity, ACM representatives should be informed of organization of press conference and an ACM designated representative should be present) I think this conference will translate into 'institutional coverage',in the newspapers, i.e. a few lines here and there before the event, which is of course important but it is different wrt
Exactly my feelings. Thanks, Chiara for your e-mail.
Sincerely, --Cigdem

The surveys are very exhaustive to cover everything. Good to obtain lot of information, but hard to answer.
Maybe we can simplify a bit the attendees form (15 pages). There is a lot of questions about comments. I know that they are optional, but they contribute to give the impression that the survey is very long. For instance, instead of having comments for every aspect of pre-event, we can have just one comment question at the end of pre-event section.
I have made some major changes for 2019, see the changes here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x0v-r5PMMLpYzuWaOwGzAKhJfV184pxMhI3woADT Cro/edit
Note, I am working to significantly reduce the number of question for the entire event. My goal is 10 questions total which will give us some insight as to the effectiveness of the event.
Knowing that our goal is to provide women with role models, networking opportunities and revive their commitment to the career (please let me know if this is wrong). I am trying to focus the questions on whether we meet those goals.
Reducing the number of questions is a very good attempt.
I would suggest to separate <the best> and <needs improvement> to different questions.
Thanks and best regards.

Here is the data from the past 5 years for the event. I understand that you will be using these for a press event on the 10th.
Note that most years about 75% of the attendees are students with 67% being graduate students. I am still trying to extract that type of data from CVENT for this year, will be interesting to see the differences considering the large number of scholarships.

Bev, I understand that Reyyan was asking about having Rukiye and Dorota in the ACMWE_SC list.
By your answer, I understand that you added them in your message but we are not seeing their email address. This means that either Reyyan's message and this message will not reach Rukiye and Dorota because we are sending our messages just to the list.
No, I added them all to the emails, when I answered. This is quite unnerving that no one can see them. I will write an email and ask Marcia to add all of the new and returning members.
I will let you know when the list is updated.

Thanks for the warm welcome. The last few months have been extremely challenging for me (otherwise I would have not stepped down from the committee when I did) but I am honoured that you would want me to participate in womENcourage and the upcoming steering committee meeting. I’ll do my travel arrangements this end and look forward to information regarding accommodation, if you are able to help me with that.
Dear Adriana, Welcome back, and greetings from the Executive Committee members (more names on the cc line) ☺.
I have just added you to our Google drive, to the Working Groups section, so that you can have access to the Travel spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1psQtn2W83kARHs3wsLqi03K7k0pjHfvQ8XdxrZ8hPOM/edit#gid=1651005398
We have made block reservations at the Hotel Degli Aranci https://www.hoteldegliaranci.com
It appears that next Monday at 15:00 CET will work for most of us. So I will set our meeting for that time and date and send a meeting notice.
I hope that this works for everyone and I will begin working on the agenda. Araz, please forward the meeting notice to anyone that you think should attend the meeting.
We are all wishing you well and hoping that you will be returning soon to the steering committee.
Even so we are removing you from the listserv so that you do not endlessly get our emails about current activities. We hope that the situation will soon change and you will be back with us.
