
Consideration and approval of the minutes of the last meeting
 The Inclusive Mobility Network (IMN) Executive Council do not have objections on
the minutes of the last meeting (Feb.20, 2014)
Election of the 20th member of the IMN Executive Council
 Dr. Romero explained the reasons why there are 20 members in the Executive
Council:
 The first 15 elected members of the council must select five more members
because we don’t want other sectors to feel that they are left out/
excluded.
 The IMN Secretariat identified people who have been actively participating in the
IM Activities since the start of the project. The EC selected eight (8) names from
the list provided and voted for the 20th member.
 Share the Road movement got the most number of votes from the EC. However, in
the event that the first selected member declined the invitation to fill the post, EC
voted another name, Ms. Raquel Naciongayo of Pasig CENRO, as back up.
 The EC also agreed that Share the Road Movement can choose who among its
members will be the 20th member of the council.

Visioning Workshop
 Dr Doy discussed the Inclusive Mobility Network’s envisioned impact and outcome
areas (mobility, productivity, safety, and civility) in order to understand further what
the network is and where do we want to go (please refer to the attached
presentation)
 A concern was raised by some of the EC members if the Network aims to focus in
Metro Manila only or should it be on a national level in terms of scope.
 Dr. Doy suggested that the Network can start in Metro Manila. After a few
years, it can expand into Philippines eventually.
 Commissioner Yeb said that we have potential for communities outside
Metro Manila to show us models.
 Ms. Julia said that in terms of actions and energy spent in online petitions,
media engagements, infographics, community level pilot projects, it is in a
Metro Manila level. But according to her, the network is advocating for
principles that will definitely and hopefully expand beyond the
metropolitan area.
 Dr. Danielle and Ms. Julia emphasized that either scope, whether Metro
Manila level or national level, we would still be sharing knowledge/ inputs
with other cities and regions outside Metro Manila.
 Ms. Vicky prefers it to be in a national level because she doesn’t want the
network to be limited in Metro Manila only.
 Mr. Rally said that maybe it’s in the terminology. Maybe we can look at it
on a regional perspective.
 Commissioner Yeb said that maybe the EC should focus on understanding
what the organization really want rather than focusing on the scope.
 Ms. Tina agreed to Commissioner Yeb’s suggestion. The network must really
understand first what they stand for and make sure why they are there. The
discussion of the scope can follow after.
 Though the IM team has already suggested a vision statement for the network in
the action plan, the EC wanted to come up with a new one so that they will have
a sense of ownership. The vision of the IM Network as voted by the majority of the
EC members is:
“Coalition of advocates working with government, private sector, and civil society
to attain higher levels of mobility with safety, civility, and productivity for all, by all”

Discussion and approval of the draft Inclusive Mobility Network Communication Plan
 Dr. Doy explained that the Communication Plan will be drafted in support of the
Action Plan.
 Sir JayR presented the content of the proposed draft Communication Plan of the
IM Network. The drafting of the full communication plan of the IMN will be the
Communication Committee’s task. (please see attached presentation)

Presentation of the results of the 2nd Metro Manila Traffic Summit and IM Network
Response
 Ms. Tina shared the results of the 2nd Metro Manila Traffic Summit to the plenary.
 The summit basically talked about managing public expectation and what
steps should the MMDA, DPWH, and DOTC plan to do during the
construction of the skyway that will connect SLEX and NLEX.
 Rerouting schemes, checklist of contractors accountable.
 Calls the public to have their own share of sacrifices
 Ms. Tina encouraged the IM Network to check the validity of the design and get
involved.

Other matters:
 The EC members were asked to fill out the survey form of the Inclusive Mobility
Network that could help the secretariat in developing the directory and profile of
the network members as well as knowing their priority projects.
 As per Commissioner Yeb’s suggestion, the EC may now form their committees in
line with the activities and priorities which shall be included in the action plan.
 The EC are free to volunteer which committee should they belong. The IM Network
Committees are the following:
COMMUNITY PROJECT/ EVENTS

Dr. Doy said if these groups can flesh out ideas and put it into concept note
and identify what are the activities. Committees will present the ideas
conceptualized on the next meeting. Committees may prepare the ppt
presentation.
Dr. Doy is proposing that the members of the network should be individuals, not
representing the organizations that they belong to.
Each committee shall present their priority projects on March 21, 2014, Friday,
9am-1pm.


The team can use the available resources of the project to support the
activities and initiatives of the committees.
Ms. Lalaine asked the other EC members if they can help her and Ms. Tina in
surveying the accessibility of the trains for PWDs in Metro Manila.
