2) Onboarding email - ready to send?
Yes, except for 1) adding a link to Instagram at the end 2) wording the “You applied a while ago” line at the start, so we can add it to those for whom it’s relevant 3) sorting out the Dework task about sign up to Dework and adding a wallet - it shouldn’t ask people to DM Felix, etc [ACTION] Sucre (and Vani if needed) to fix these things then it can go out
3) One-to-one contacting - how’s it going?
Not enough time to discuss
4) Ensuring new people get a warm welcome
Was mentioned last meeting that new people are not always feeling welcomed.
Part of it could be fear that someone unknown who turns up in a Zoom meeting is a spammer. Should we circulate a list of the Zoom names of new people, so WG leads can keep an eye out for them?
Or do WG leads need a bit of training or ideas on how to welcome new people? (e.g. saying Hi rather than just ignoring)
