About XRUK Operations [Ops]
Ops is a friendly, large group made up of EC's from different circles. It's purpose is to deliver the XRUK Strategy for 2025-26 and the team is responsible for much of the work being done by the XRUK teams.
- It is a large team - a typical meeting has up to 20 people or more.
- Its priorities are largely dictated directly by the XRUK strategy.
- Its accountabilities are mostly delegated to its sub-circles.
- It spends the majority of XRUK’s budget.
About the Facilitator role
The Facilitator role is to ensure that meetings stay on track with the agenda and decision-making processes are appropriately structured.
- Facilitating meetings of this team.
- Inviting facilitators from inside or outside of this circle to facilitate a given meeting, if not personally facilitating.
- Ensuring that applicable processes for elections and decision-making (e.g. group agreements, constitutional rules, Ways of Working) are followed.
The Ops Facilitator role could be shared between two people; for example, one facilitate Mondays and one facilitate Fridays.
Ops meets twice a week - Mondays 14:30-16:30 and Fridays 12:30-13:30. The Ops co-ICs sometimes meet on Wednesdays 19:30-21:00 to cover additional work. We can share facilitating this space if needed but it would be great to have a dedicated facilitator.
