The idea was not to rely on the UCD or Penn to organize a meeting.

The UC-Review has volunteered to moderate the community meeting with a
suggested location of
Rosenberger Hall. It would be wise for representatives of the Board of
UCD to participate as well as the
trustees committees of the institutions represented.
sharrieff,
here's an initial contribution to the proposed community
meeting, developed openly here onlist [and still open to
revision].
a set of responsibilities for us and ucd:
- - - - - - - - - - -
1: ucd is primarily accountable to us, the public,
not to ucd
- - - - - - - - - - -
2: ucd's performance/actions should be
evaluated/investigated/monitored on an ongoing basis
by an agency independent of ucd
- - - - - - - - - - -
3: we should develop the means whereby ucd
communications are public, timely and proactive
- - - - - - - - - - -
4: ucd's boundaries should be clearly defined and
maintained
- - - - - - - - - - -
5: ucd should remain scrupulously neutral in public
questions/disputes/contests, not taking sides or
even appearing to take sides.
- - - - - - - - - - -
6: ucd officers/staff should not serve on the
boards of neighborhood organizations.
- - - - - - - - - - -
7: regular public forums should be held to generate a
set of principles, best practices, etc. that would
examine and improve ucd as a public service
organization.
- - - - - - - - - - -
8. ucd should use its resources to facilitate/broker
compromise among competing neighborhood stakeholders
rather than using resources to implement solutions
for one type of stakeholder. ie, win/win not win/lose
[example: ucd brokers Trees/HelpWithPropertyTaxes
rather than takes sides in Trees/NoTrees on kyle's
block. ucd becomes uniquely positioned as an agent
for equality rather than an agent for divisiveness.]
