2014 Period of Review - Live Google Hangouts

by Charlie Plaine, Chairman

20th September 2014

In 2013, we launched a new, more involved process for our annual Period of Review involving live Google Hangouts and Q&A sessions. This year, we are happy to announce we will return to this format as we begin our yearly look back at TCC. The Period of Review has been an integral part of TCC's operations since our founding, allowing the community to express their comments, concerns, and suggestions and to allow us the opportunity to look back as we make plans and adjustments for the future.

Each review will feature a panel of volunteers that will take a frank look back at the past year, and talk about plans for the next year. Ahead of each review, we will invite the public to submit questions in a discussion thread, and the moderator of each panel will select questions and topics for discussion. In addition, those participating live will also have the opportunity to ask questions as the discussion takes place. Finally, each Hangout will be archived on TrekCC's YouTube channel for later viewing.

Here is the schedule of reviews. Check back later for links to the completed reviews and updated lists of panelists.
