TEC Protocol for Calls

What it was. The protocol defining how the TEC’s many community calls were run — a lightweight standard so meetings had the right structure, roles, and consent practices.

Who it was for. Facilitators, moderators, and anyone hosting or attending a TEC call.

What it looked like. A typology of the four regular call types — hack sessions/Labs, working-group syncs, and others — each with its own requirements: whether an agenda was needed, whether a facilitator (Steward) and separate moderator were required, and the consent/transparency rules for recording and posting. It operationalized the community’s transparency-by-default norm while protecting participant consent.
