CAHRI - last meeting and Terms of Reference for review
Caution! This message was sent from outside the University of Manitoba.
Dear all, Thank you to those who attended Wednesday's CAHRI meeting. Participants included Anna Purkey, Adele Perry, Virginia Caputto, Christina Szurlej, Shannonbrooke Murphy, Erick Sullivan and me (HRREC/uOttawa). Our last virtual meeting was in June 2022, so there were several aspects in the agenda, such as to review the purpose for CAHRI, type of desired collaborations, degree of formality for the organization (idea to create an affiliate or association under the Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences?), website and promotion, and the Canadian Human Rights Yearbook. To tackle the first two points, we agreed to work on terms of reference. After going through notes from previous meetings since the creation of CAHRI and incorporating content from similar groups, I am happy to propose a draft (enclosed). The document contains information about how CAHRI was created and what we have done so far. It also goes through aspects of our operations. Please feel free to review and make comments. N.B. we intend to finalize the ToRs during our next meeting (see below). Adele will send a reminder about the listserv (how to use it to share information), recognizing that this remains an appropriate way to share information among CAHRI members. Shannonbrooke's Centre will continue to host our webpage, so please send her any updates that have to do with your representatives, websites or joint initiatives of interest. We look forward to discussing about these and other aspects during our next meeting on May 14th (invitation to follow). Very best wishes,
Viviana

Hello Viviana and Everyone,
Please accept my apologies for inadvertently missing today's meeting. I got held up in a previous meeting, and by the time I arrived on zoom our meeting had been adjourned.
Attached is the feedback I had planned to give on Viviana's draft, using comments and track changes. Many thanks to Viviana for doing a great job pulling this document together.
On another front, the Atlantic Human Rights Centre was able to confirm last week that we can go ahead with developing our new website over the summer, so CAHRI will soon have a more fitting new virtual home.
Unless there are objections, I will undertake to draft and circulate a briefing note regarding the FHSS association and affiliation options for consideration at our next meeting, whenever that may be scheduled.
All the best,
SBM
