New membership process and milestones

[ragamouf]

Problem statement: Prepare to manage 2022 LCAG membership refresh and learn from our experience in 2021

Here is a rough outline of the steps involved in this process:

1. Consider the process in 2021 and identify what to keep, stop doing, change or start
2. Review the EOI form and associated rubric
3. Make changes to ../roles-responsibilities.md or ../succession.md as per Documenting roles, responsibilities and recruitment process  #39
4. Review milestones below and optimise for reality / uncertainty!
5. Make a bunch of recommendations and communicate to the LCAG

---

Milestone	Likely Duration	Suggested dates
Preparation: EOI form, rubric, documentation on website	4-6 weeks
Open up LCAG applications - publicise to networks	Start date
Deadline for applications	3-4 weeks?
Deadline for review/assess applications	3-4 weeks?
Chairs contact successful applicants & start onboarding process	2 weeks
Chairs confirm new members	2 weeks
First onboarding meeting for new LCAG members	May? August? Out of session?

Happy to receive your comments and suggestions. I'm not sure if I'm over-engineering the process or not!
