Agenda:

As this was our 2nd meeting, Prof. Cahrles was invited to give some ideas and guidance on what a discussion group (specifically a Knowledge Management discussion group) should do/ have in order it to benefit all its members.

Some of the points highlighted by Prof. Charles were:

1. Have a general guidance (constitution) of membership

2. Encourage wider membership (interested parties in the wider areas of knowledge management)

3. Mantain an e-mail address list for group communication as well as a forum (internet base) - having summary details of members, contact details, research and list of publications

4. Have regular meetings (maybe about once a month)

5. Provide updates of reserach progress and events during meetings

6. Share useful, informative and interesting articles, calls for papers for conferences/ journals, databases, etc

7. On-going maintenance of momentum, interests through various activities- meetings, joint publications, participation in seminars, conferences, invitation of key scholars/ researchers to address the group, etc.

8. Encourage joint publications (conferences, journals, book chapters, etc.)

9. May need to have a regular bulletin (Quarterly) - may be just one page. This should document/ summarise the key highlights of the group

10. May need to consider affiliating with other KM interest groups (e.g. IKON, KIMNET, KMG Philadelphia, The knowledge Management research group (Loughborough- http://km.lboro.ac.uk/
