Meeting notes – Programme Council – Latin America
Sunday 20 November 2016, 17:00 – 18:30 UTC
Present: Yuly Salazar Páez, Carolina Casserly, Maarten Smies
Preface
Dámare Araya Valenzuela was unable to join because of a power outage.
1. Discussion note on scope of work and ways of working
1.1 Scope:
The directors propose that the council be engaged in the following:
1. Develop a work programme for the network (on an annual basis)
2. Develop project proposals for members to work on that cover the breadth of areas of
interest
3. Act as project coaches/mentors, help members to develop project proposals
4. Review work products resulting from projects
Meeting outcome
The scope of work was agreed. Maarten added that Alma Migens’ suggestion that the
Programme Council (PC) should lead programme and project funding proposals, would in some
way be included in the scope of work.
1.2 Ways of working:
We shall work mainly over the Internet and shall use Slack as our communication tool. In
addition members can use Skype, Hangouts or WhatsApp for Instant Messaging and voice
and video calls. We may consider using Dropbox for the development of documents.
Meeting outcome
There was general agreement on the ways of working. We shall look into the suggestion made
by Annalisa Gionni to use Google tools. We shall open a DropBox account for YoungProfsNet
anyway, in case we want to use that tool. Maarten observed that we need to use Salck more
extensively for all YoungProfsNet work.
2. Time schedule for the development of a work programme and who will take the lead
Meeting outcome
This item was left to be decided upon following the other PC meetings to come.
3. Development of proposals for learning projects
Can we form some task forces to develop proposals for learning projects ?
- Environmental engineering
- Review and redevelopment of IOGP e-SHIMP toolbox i
- Social development
- Sustainable development
- Environmental and social development education (in cooperation with youth
organisations in Kenya and Tanzania)
- Energy efficiency and energy transition for manufacturing industries in developing
countries (a suggestion by Ashengai Kimath, Environmental Action and Community
Development Organization (ENVACODE), Tanzania)ii
meetingnotesprogrammecouncillatinamerica20161120public-161202215756.doc
Meeting outcome
Maarten explained that we want members and certainly the PC members to come up with ideas
for projects. That can be done with 10 to 20 lines of text. Such ideas can be posted on the
programme–council channel on Slack and PC members can indicate their interest to help
develop a project proposal for such ideas. Or they can be posted on a new channel that all
members can access. Carolina asked if ideas/suggestions for projects could be send by email to
Maarten and that is possible as well (they can also be posted on our LinkedIn, Facebook and
Google+ pages).
We agreed on the need to develop project ideas for social development and sustainable
development/(corporate) social responsibility. Yuly is interested in projects on safety, health
and risk management. Maarten explained that we restrict ourselves to projects on subjects on
our list of areas of interest (that is included in our folder) and that safety, health and risk
management would be addressed in relation to environmental and social development and not
really as mainstream subjects.
These are the relevant areas of interest:
2.8 Community and public health
3.13 Human rights and labour
3.17 Occupational health and safety
3.18 Environmental health
3.27 Emergency preparedness, response and recovery
4. Extending the Programme Council
Meeting outcome
The meeting agreed that a PC of 50 to 60 members would be manageable, especially as most of
the work will be done by individual members or by small task forces of members.
Maarten regularly receives emails from (new) members who are interested to be our national
representative in their country. (Added comment: so we could start appointing national
representatives, but they would need to be clear on their role. As we have done for the
directors and the Programme Council, Maarten’s preference would be to appoint national
representatives in an open application process to be transparent with regard to our governance
of YoungProfsNet.)
5. YoungProfsNet website
Meeting outcome
Yuly had not looked yet at the prototype that David Paulus is working on:
http://dpaulus.org/wordpress/
Carolina also asked questions on the different webpages on our new website. Specifically she
asked about the ‘Resources’ page on the prototype website. Therefore I am including our
current draft sitemap below. In it the ‘Resources’ page is now the ‘Our documents’page under
the ‘About YoungProfsNet’ page. At present, Maarten sends all the documents that
YoungProfsNet has issued so far to new members by email. In the future, the documents will be
available at the ‘Our documents’ page.

welcome help.
6. YoungProfsNet organisation chart
Meeting outcome
No comments or additions were made.
7. YoungProfsNet business development
Meeting outcome
While this item was clear, Yuly indicated that this would need to be developed further and that
we need to have an objective and mission defined and build the business strategy on that.
This is all still work in progress.
8. YoungProfsNet incorporation
Meeting outcome
Carolina and Yuly both agreed that incorporation would only be useful after we have
demonstrated that YoungProfsNet is viable and can produce valuable work products besides
learning and development.

I have been thinking about developing a project to review and redevelop the e-SHRIMP (Environmental Social
Health Risk and Impact Management Process), which is a support tool for impact assessment developed by the
International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP):
Report No. 389, April 2007: http://www.iogp.org/pubs/389.zip
Report No. 529, November 2014, http://www.iogp.org/pubs/529.pdf
IOGP's 2014 report (No. 529) is a useful overview of e-SHRIMP and a good, brief introduction to impact
assessment of capital investment projects in the oil and gas industry. The original e-SHRIMP report (No. 389,
2007), for which I was a project team member on behalf of Shell's exploration and production of oil and gas
business sector, does not only describe the e-SHRIMP process but also provides a toolbox with worksheets for
tasks to be fulfilled in the various stages of impact assessment in parallel with the technical project development
phases.
In retrospect, I think that the e-SHRIMP toolbox, however useful, became perhaps a bit too far removed from the
impact assessment practice followed by the environmental consulting community. So, reviewing and
redeveloping the e-SHRIMP toolbox to fit and serve the environmental consulting community would be of
considerable value, notably by providing common language and standardised tasks. I have been in touch with
the Technical Director of IOGP on this and he would support a re-development of the e-SHRIMP toolbox.
Maarten Smies
ii
I have had contacts with some of our members in Kenya and Tanzania who are also active in youth and
environment and youth and sustainable development organisations. My suggestion has been to form a network
with these organisations. We could then work to develop learning projects for our members that would deliver
work products that these organisations can use in their activities. ENVACODE in Tanzania is another
organisation that came into view recently (and there are many more of them). Ms Ashengai Kimath (ENVACODE
director) in discussion with me brought up the reduction of CO2 emissions by the manufacturing industries as a
subject of interest.

  • 1. Environmental and Social YoungProfsNet Development Practitioners Meeting notes – Programme Council – Latin America Sunday 20 November 2016, 17:00 – 18:30 UTC Present: Yuly Salazar Páez, Carolina Casserly, Maarten Smies Preface Dámare Araya Valenzuela was unable to join because of a power outage. 1. Discussion note on scope of work and ways of working 1.1 Scope: The directors propose that the council be engaged in the following: 1. Develop a work programme for the network (on an annual basis) 2. Develop project proposals for members to work on that cover the breadth of areas of interest 3. Act as project coaches/mentors, help members to develop project proposals 4. Review work products resulting from projects Meeting outcome The scope of work was agreed. Maarten added that Alma Migens’ suggestion that the Programme Council (PC) should lead programme and project funding proposals, would in some way be included in the scope of work. 1.2 Ways of working: We shall work mainly over the Internet and shall use Slack as our communication tool. In addition members can use Skype, Hangouts or WhatsApp for Instant Messaging and voice and video calls. We may consider using Dropbox for the development of documents. Meeting outcome There was general agreement on the ways of working. We shall look into the suggestion made by Annalisa Gionni to use Google tools. We shall open a DropBox account for YoungProfsNet anyway, in case we want to use that tool. Maarten observed that we need to use Salck more extensively for all YoungProfsNet work. 2. Time schedule for the development of a work programme and who will take the lead Meeting outcome This item was left to be decided upon following the other PC meetings to come. 3. Development of proposals for learning projects Can we form some task forces to develop proposals for learning projects ? - Environmental engineering - Review and redevelopment of IOGP e-SHIMP toolbox i - Social development - Sustainable development - Environmental and social development education (in cooperation with youth organisations in Kenya and Tanzania) - Energy efficiency and energy transition for manufacturing industries in developing countries (a suggestion by Ashengai Kimath, Environmental Action and Community Development Organization (ENVACODE), Tanzania)ii meetingnotesprogrammecouncillatinamerica20161120public-161202215756.doc
  • 2. Meeting outcome Maarten explained that we want members and certainly the PC members to come up with ideas for projects. That can be done with 10 to 20 lines of text. Such ideas can be posted on the programme–council channel on Slack and PC members can indicate their interest to help develop a project proposal for such ideas. Or they can be posted on a new channel that all members can access. Carolina asked if ideas/suggestions for projects could be send by email to Maarten and that is possible as well (they can also be posted on our LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+ pages). We agreed on the need to develop project ideas for social development and sustainable development/(corporate) social responsibility. Yuly is interested in projects on safety, health and risk management. Maarten explained that we restrict ourselves to projects on subjects on our list of areas of interest (that is included in our folder) and that safety, health and risk management would be addressed in relation to environmental and social development and not really as mainstream subjects. These are the relevant areas of interest: 2.8 Community and public health 3.13 Human rights and labour 3.17 Occupational health and safety 3.18 Environmental health 3.27 Emergency preparedness, response and recovery 4. Extending the Programme Council Meeting outcome The meeting agreed that a PC of 50 to 60 members would be manageable, especially as most of the work will be done by individual members or by small task forces of members. Maarten regularly receives emails from (new) members who are interested to be our national representative in their country. (Added comment: so we could start appointing national representatives, but they would need to be clear on their role. As we have done for the directors and the Programme Council, Maarten’s preference would be to appoint national representatives in an open application process to be transparent with regard to our governance of YoungProfsNet.) 5. YoungProfsNet website Meeting outcome Yuly had not looked yet at the prototype that David Paulus is working on: http://dpaulus.org/wordpress/ Carolina also asked questions on the different webpages on our new website. Specifically she asked about the ‘Resources’ page on the prototype website. Therefore I am including our current draft sitemap below. In it the ‘Resources’ page is now the ‘Our documents’page under the ‘About YoungProfsNet’ page. At present, Maarten sends all the documents that YoungProfsNet has issued so far to new members by email. In the future, the documents will be available at the ‘Our documents’ page.

  • 3. About YoungProfsNet Our organisation Incorporation Network Directors Programme Council Country representatives Areas of interest Our documents Our members Database of members' knowledge, experience and interests Our projects Kenya project South Africa project Impact assessment across southern Africa project Publications Impact Assessment Resources Carolina asked if she could take part in writing text for the new website and that would be welcome help. 6. YoungProfsNet organisation chart Meeting outcome No comments or additions were made. 7. YoungProfsNet business development Meeting outcome While this item was clear, Yuly indicated that this would need to be developed further and that we need to have an objective and mission defined and build the business strategy on that. This is all still work in progress. 8. YoungProfsNet incorporation Meeting outcome Carolina and Yuly both agreed that incorporation would only be useful after we have demonstrated that YoungProfsNet is viable and can produce valuable work products besides learning and development.

  • 5. i I have been thinking about developing a project to review and redevelop the e-SHRIMP (Environmental Social Health Risk and Impact Management Process), which is a support tool for impact assessment developed by the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP): Report No. 389, April 2007: http://www.iogp.org/pubs/389.zip Report No. 529, November 2014, http://www.iogp.org/pubs/529.pdf IOGP's 2014 report (No. 529) is a useful overview of e-SHRIMP and a good, brief introduction to impact assessment of capital investment projects in the oil and gas industry. The original e-SHRIMP report (No. 389, 2007), for which I was a project team member on behalf of Shell's exploration and production of oil and gas business sector, does not only describe the e-SHRIMP process but also provides a toolbox with worksheets for tasks to be fulfilled in the various stages of impact assessment in parallel with the technical project development phases. In retrospect, I think that the e-SHRIMP toolbox, however useful, became perhaps a bit too far removed from the impact assessment practice followed by the environmental consulting community. So, reviewing and redeveloping the e-SHRIMP toolbox to fit and serve the environmental consulting community would be of considerable value, notably by providing common language and standardised tasks. I have been in touch with the Technical Director of IOGP on this and he would support a re-development of the e-SHRIMP toolbox. Maarten Smies ii I have had contacts with some of our members in Kenya and Tanzania who are also active in youth and environment and youth and sustainable development organisations. My suggestion has been to form a network with these organisations. We could then work to develop learning projects for our members that would deliver work products that these organisations can use in their activities. ENVACODE in Tanzania is another organisation that came into view recently (and there are many more of them). Ms Ashengai Kimath (ENVACODE director) in discussion with me brought up the reduction of CO2 emissions by the manufacturing industries as a subject of interest. Maarten Smies
