Steve's apology
Steve said that he failed by not phoning or skyping people to get them to the Belfast get together. And email isn't working and needs more face-to-face or phone/video contact. So,

Kevin -- we all have day jobs as do everyone else and we are looking for each one of us to find a way of giving time.

Steve -- the line keeps dropping out, could try at a different time in the day.

List of people
Action Point -- Steve and Kevin to get details including phone/skype from all in W Europe. Also look on the email from Erin.

Erin -- poor communication is partly poor priorities

Kevin -- and being overwhelmed with communication

Steve -- who is there who might share more of this load? Carl, Yan, Brit, Arnaud

Follow up from the WELC

 * Steve -- great conference. Egalitarian, motivated.
 * Erin -- inspiring, motivating
 * Kevin -- great ethos, listened to one another, really liked people who normally don't have a voice speaking out. Heard criticism that it was too Anglophone but take that with a grain of salt. But the Anglos have a desire to work together. And some who criticised didn't attend.
 * Steve -- we need to follow up what was started at the WELC.
 * Erin -- can the NTN provide some of the support? I love documents and writing but let's do stuff first and then write. I'd love to go and visit the guys in Berlin, ask their struggles and blessings and write about it under the NTN. Happy to have meetings but maybe it would be better to have meetings where people are doing the stuff and then write about it.
 * Kevin -- we need more of it, nothing stops us. People don't think about it. I've tried to do it. And it can become a value. We tend to think of people who are visiting speakers and they visit but no one else does. International leadership doesn't make that a priority.
 * Erin -- chatting with Johnny Clark. I'd like to be the N Ireland person who just gets on and does the stuff. "They planted 10 new teams in N Ireland...." The emphasis should be on what we are doing rather than on communicating. I love the idea of making visiting more intentional.
 * Kevin -- need to encourage people to go and visit. It's very hard to lead by example.
 * Steve -- we need to build the network.
 * Kevin -- look at the book 'Starfish versus Spider'. We need to promote the values and behaviours in that book. "You need to talk to...they are an expert"

Building the network
What values and behaviours will build the network?
 * Steve talks to Stephe Mayers about formalising the New Teams Network
 * Kevin -- put Loren's endorsement in 72 point on it.
 * Erin -- we want to be grassroots and not subversive.
 * Regular communication?
 * Kevin -- remember paper on church planting. We get good stuff every now and then. But don't have a regular system of passing stuff on. Steve used to have a Discipleship Journal. I miss it. There isn't enough stimulus. Liked the Communique handed out during the WELC. Don't know how effective it's been but it stirred things up.
 * Steve -- what could meet some of that need? Steve puts references to the KB into the ywam England Leadership Team minutes.
 * [14:47:15] Erin M Seibel says: http://www.ryanmitchell.co.uk/cmsfiles/books/dont_think_do.pdf
 * Action point -- after Steve collects the addresses we will commit to sending a regular missive.
 * Add ywam search to Firefox
 * Communication needs to push and pull. http://www.ywamkb.net/kb/index.php/Push_and_Pull_Communications
 * Push and Pull -- send stuff out and then have some stuff for people to find. Publishing things on a blog is ok but can email people with blog address.
 * Kevin -- church planting article should be sent out to the network. It should be stimulating material.
 * Erin -- how to run your new team with integrity...
 * Kevin -- easy and find other to write stuff. Easy for us to be editors. We can be commissioning editors.

October Meeting
Talk later this week.
 * How do we go about deciding a date?
 * Action point -- Steve talk to Stephe Mayers in October and tie down a date.
 * Will talk again next Monday at 1pm.

Hi Erin,

I got your email and these details from Kevin Colyer. I am currently working with YWAM in Aberdeen, Scotland, establishing a new operating location.

I would love to be involved in October, when you have details could you please keep me informed. I hope your time in Brussels has been productive and encouraging!

Every blessing,

Ian
