Harvat Hall, City Hall Commissioners present: Mohamed Traore, Chastity Dillard, Clif Johnson, Eric Harris, Sikowis (Christine Nobiss) (via Zoom), Amel Ali, Kevo Rivera, Wangui Gathua. Staff present: Stefanie Bowers. Community members who spoke at meeting: Noah, Joe Purdy, Orville Townsend. Recommendations to City Council: No. Meeting called to order: 7:06. Reading of Native American Land Acknowledgement: Dillard read the Land Acknowledgement Approval of Minutes from August 4, 2022: Rivera moved, and Gathua seconded. Motion passed 7-0. (Sikowis not present for the vote). Public Comment of Items not on the Agenda: Townsend spoke on how he was publicly verbally attacked for no reason at all by a member of the TRC. Townsend feels that the person should not be chairing the Commission. Townsend asked for the TRC to give his concerns some consideration. Purdy doesn't understand the content here and believes that Amel was frustrated and that Amel has an excellent content of character and that if she said something that was off- color she might have been frustrated with the group "TRC" not gaining any traction. Draft Proposal: The Local Partners provided an overview of the proposal. The proposal includes a request for a community fund to be created in the amount of $10,000 and also staff for the TRC which should be a City employee. The proposal now includes a third phase, that looks at what additional work may be left to be completed. The third phase extends to the fall of 2023, likely October. Rivera moved, Ali seconded to approve the proposal with the understanding that "TBD" would be added to the proposal. The motion failed 4-4 (Harris, Traore, Johnson, and Gathua in the negative). Branding, Engaging, and Outreach to the Community: The TRC needs a visibility component, that includes a website, social media presence, a newsletter, and community hubs. The materials should be available in a variety of different languages. The first phase of any outreach would be educational. Harris, Traore, Johnson, and Nobiss will work on branding. Staff will follow up on the City policy as it relates to social media and website creation. Next Meeting: Dillard will not be in attendance at the next meeting and so Rivera will lead the meeting on September 15. Dillard moved, seconded by Gathua. Motion passed 8-0. Commission Announcements: Nobiss will be holding a Truthsgiving event on November 11. More information can be found at truthsgiving.org. Dillard will make her acting debut in the locally produced play "Little Shop of Horrors".

N a a a a a o a a N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N N F' Native American land Acknowledgement Prepared for the City of Iowa City's Ad Hoc Truth and Reconciliation Commission and Human Rights Commission PURPOSE Iowa City owes its existence to the many Indigenous Peoples who were the original stewards of this land and who were subjected to manipulation and violence by non-native settlers, invaders, and governments in order to make this moment possible. Acknowledgement of this truth is central to our work toward reconciliation across all barriers of difference and injustice. Starting with a Native American Land Acknowledgement, this Commission will bear witness to the legacies of violent displacement, migration, and settlement that have marginalized those who were the first inhabitants of this land. We must also address the mistreatment and exclusion that Native Americans continue to face today. The Ad Hoc Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the Human Rights Commission encourage the community and City of Iowa City to join us in these efforts through the use of a Native American Land Acknowledgement. LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT To be read at all public meetings and events: "We meet today in the community of Iowa City, which now occupies the homelands of Native American Nations to whom we owe our commitment and dedication. The area of Iowa City was within the homelands of the Iowa, Meskwaki, and Sauk, and because history is complex and time goes far back beyond memory, we also acknowledge the ancient connections of many other Indigenous Peoples here. The history of broken treaties and forced removal that dispossessed Indigenous Peoples of their homelands was and is an act of colonization and genocide that we can not erase. We implore the Iowa City community to commit to understanding and addressing these injustices as we work toward equity, restoration, and reparations."

Stefanie can follow-up with you tomorrow at the meeting, but I wanted to provide a little more information in advance. Government entities have some unique considerations when managing social media accounts. As a result, we only allow our staff to manage accounts and post content. We also centrally coordinate those efforts through our Communications Divisions so that we are ensuring compliance with our social media policy, properly archiving content and responding to interactions, if needed. Staff that manage the social media accounts go through an application based process, receive training and are in regular contact with Communications as the oversight resource. We do not have any boards or commissions that have their own accounts. However, the staff liaisons to those volunteer groups can help promote special events, meetings, etc through established City social media accounts. We can certainly work with the TRC to promote upcoming events, meetings or specific content related to the TRC's charge. We would want to make sure there is discussion and agreement with the entire TRC on any social media assistance. Knowing the work that lies ahead for the TRC, I can see where social media may be an important tool to consider. Often times for these types of large efforts, a consultant or facilitator will help develop a broader marketing / outreach strategy. As the TRC works on the facilitator selection we can work with the selected individual or organization to determine how best to incorporate social media into a broader plan. Sometimes, this is through established city accounts and other times its through digital platforms managed by the consultant and separate from the City. In summary, if there are a few short term needs that the TRC wants promoted on social media, those should be discussed at your public meetings and communicated to Stefanie. She can work with our team to figure out how best to develop and disseminate those messages on our established communication platforms. Longer term, it would be good to work with the eventual facilitator to craft a broader outreach strategy and determine how best to carry that out considering all possibilities. Thank you for your service to the City. I appreciate the time and energy that you are putting into the TRC.

Could you help me out? Thank you, Chastity Dillard Commissioner Adhoc Truth & Reconciliation Commission Proposal Summary This proposal is actually a set of five proposals from five different groups: Think Peace, Kearns and West along with a locally -based Fact Finding Data Liaison, Three Native Partners, and the Healing Partners Team (Banjo Knits Empowerment, Astig Planning, and Mediation Services of Eastern Iowa). In the interest of increasing local involvement, we have recently moved the Fact Finding Data Liaison position from Kearns and West and created a locally -based Community Researcher/Fact Finding Data Liaison position who will work closely with the teams, the TRC and the City. These are all being proposed together after several months of our groups collaborating and engaging with the TRC, City Council and City staff. We recognize that the skills and expertise of each group are interdependent and are necessary components to continue the important work of the TRC per Iowa City Council's Resolution No. 20-228. Please see the included budget documents and document from Think Peace for more information about what each group will be doing. This proposal offers a community -led framework for moving at the speed of trust and building lasting and authentic relationships throughout the Truth and Reconciliation process. We seek an organic process that nurtures authenticity within the community while building our local capacity. Our teams prioritize intentional reflection and evaluation, which will provide the TRC and community partners an opportunity to improve processes/practices and gain clarity on the next phase or next steps. Phased Approach In order to co -create a framework and process that reflects intentionality, it is important to include more local partners and to have a phased approach from which to evaluate progress. We recognize that white culture normalizes and expects processes that are neat and tidy, and although this is a phased approach, we recognize from the outset that there is a lot of potential for overlap between phases that can occur and changes that will naturally arise. We propose a Three -Phased approach that occurs at three, four, and potentially six month intervals. We understand that the TRC is working as an ad hoc commission that is set to dissolve on June 30th of 2023. Being mindful of this timeline, we propose a three -phased approach with evaluative breaks that will help determine the next strategic steps. If we begin working with the Commission in September of 2022, the second phase will end in March/April of 2023 and provide the TRC Commission with a few months to reflect on the findings and recommendations of this process. The third phase is an optional phase that our team recognizes may be needed once the work of the TRC is underway. It is difficult to directly identify the duration of each phase, and we want to acknowledge that additional time may be necessary. We cannot presently identify what additional actions will need to be undertaken. This third phase may also require an additional extension of the commission's timeline, particularly as that deadline continues to near. It is our intention that the Commission will then have what they need to provide a final recommendation(s) to the City Council. Expectations of the City & TRC Commission Members In order to co -create a framework and process that reflects intentionality, it is also important to include suggested expectations of the City's involvement and support functions/tasks, as well as for TRC members. City of Iowa City Expectations In order to coordinate the partner organizations in this proposal and the tasks that they are responsible for executing in a timely fashion, we recommend the City take on the following tasks: • Facilitate Truth and Reconciliation Commission discussions and actions informing, confirming, and assessing truth -telling, fact-finding and reconciliation processes o Assist in the creation of meeting agendas, assist in keeping meetings moving forward in a productive manner and on time. • Coordinate operations of the four proposals alongside and informed by TRC, Think Peace, Kearns & West, Healing Partners, and Native Partners (e.g. host regular Team Meetings —virtual, email updates, and/or in -person); • Co -Facilitate Strategic Doing and follow-up alongside a Healing Partner (Astig Planning) to develop a strategic outline and tasks that guide the progress and work of the Commission; • Co -Create Restorative Justice Practices with Native and Healing Partners; • Co -Facilitate Restorative Justice Practices with Native and Healing Partners; • Facilitate the onboarding of local partners, organizations, other entities that can bring value to the work as contractors (identified by The Team) as needed; • Facilitate the identified local partners, organizations, contractors' initial/ongoing engagement within the Commission's work(e.g. connecting local databases and entities with data to fact -finding —Kearns and West); • Coordinate logistics of identified local Truth and Reconciliation activities and events that are informed and implemented by respective Team members (e.g. Think Peace, Native Partners, Healing Partners, other local partners, organizations and/or contractors); • Report progress alongside The Team during evaluation aspects of phased approach (3 months and 4 months); • Work with The Team, City staff and leadership to further the work of the Commission as the process unfolds. *In the interim, the Healing/Reconciliation Partners will lead the coordination of the organizations until the City integrates identified resources into the larger team (e.g. staff). TRC Member Expectations The TRC is a unique City -sanctioned commission. The charges that the TRC are responsible for include: collecting evidence, testimonies, providing public opportunities for persons impacted by racial injustice to share stories, create a repository for community stories, facilitate conversations across various sectors in which People of Color experience discrimination and injustice. In short, these types of duties are aimed at excavating and reckoning with community -wide racial injustice and harm that is far beyond any of the other City -sanctioned 2 commissions. Furthermore, the TRC is entirely composed of BIPOC community members who will also have to navigate personal trauma and harm throughout their tenure. Taking into account the scope of the work ahead of the TRC, our team proposes that each commission member model self -care and radical love for themselves and for their fellow colleagues. We invite each commissioner to engage at the level with which they are able throughout each of the phases, and offer some insight into the avenues that will be available to them, such as: • The initial education phase will offer multiple opportunities for each commissioner to read, watch, and participate in various lectures, programs, and art projects that delve into the history and genesis of TRCs around the world. • Educate the public about the TRC process and its significance and universality • Determine what areas of fact-finding are necessary to support expected findings of the truth -telling • The Strategic Doing session will outline an asset -based approach to generating pathfinder projects linked to the charges of the TRC. An example of this process could be that commissioners and attendees have the resources in the room to commit to creating a podcast that follows the Iowa City TRC process. This would be an opportunity for commissioners to host the podcast, offer to locate community members, generate music, assist with audio production, etc. The level of engagement is up to each individual commissioner and what they can offer the group. • Develop partnerships with local nonprofits and individuals in the community who want to learn the skills of providing truth -telling opportunities informed by trauma practices, with the intent of building ongoing capacity in our community. Our Scope We have followed the three charges that the TRC was given in Resolution No. 20-228: Truth -telling, Fact -Finding, and Reconciliation. We have allocated our collaborative efforts to create teams that correspond to each of these charges. Think Peace will lead the Truth -Telling Team, Kearns & West will lead the Fact -Finding Team*, and the Heal ing/Reconciliation Partners will lead the Reconciliation Team. We also see teams as groups that can be added to/modified, and encourage TRC members, city staff, local partners and community members to see themselves as part of those teams. *The Fact -Finding Team will also necessitate the inclusion of a Community Researcher that will serve as a fact-finding liaison. This locally -based individual will undertake on -the -ground, fact-finding research. Ageneral outline: • Phase One (3 Months) o Media Education for TRC o Education (Truth -Telling Team) ■ Daylong Commissioner TRC training ■ Transitional Justice Course Offering 3 ■ Peer Hub with other Truth Commissions ■ City wide TRC course ■ Coordinating with University department to offer a series of TRC workshops &, webinars for city ■ Film Screening/TRC film festival and commissioner talks from Maine TRC, Greensboro TRC and Ferguson Truth Process o Internal Restorative/Reconciliation Process for TRC chair- TBD o Iowa Healing/Reconciliation Training & Strategic Planning/Doing Session (Reconciliation Team) o Begin Data Collection (Fact -Finding Team) o Recommendations for moving forward (TRC +AII Teams) ----Presentation to City Council and Progress Evaluation • Phase Two (4 months) o Continuation of Fact-finding (Fact-finding Team) o Public Truth-telling/hearings/private interviews (Truth -Telling Team) o Hosting Iowa Circles & Strategic Planning/Doing Follow-up (Reconciliation Team) o Recommendations for moving forward (TRC +AII Teams) Presentation to City Council and Progress Evaluation • Phase Three (6 months and beyond) o Continuation of Fact-finding (Fact-finding Team) o Public Truth-telling/hearings/private interviews (Truth -Telling Team) o Hosting Iowa Circles & Strategic Planning/Doing Follow-up (Reconciliation Team) o Recommendations for moving forward (TRC + All Teams) ---Presentation to City Council and Progress Evaluation First Phase (3 months) This first phase spans 3 months and focuses on education of different truth and reconciliation processes, defining fact-finding categories from which to collect data locally, and provides a Strategic Doing session to focus the work for the second phase. All teams will collaborate with the TRC and City staff to co -create recommendations for the second phase. • Think Peace: Public Educational Training: introduce key elements regarding truth and reconciliation processes and trauma -informed perspectives. Comparison of truth commission experiences in the US and abroad. Facilitated conversation post -training focused on options for next steps: based on the analysis of the mandate of the Iowa City TRC. 0 o Offer guidance on how to structure TRC meetings, fact-finding events and process, truth -telling events, and reconciliation events o Restorative Justice process within the commission o Media training for members of the TRC o Opening Ceremony/Community-wide Healing Ceremony o Inclusion of Healing Justice throughout the process o Create a Peer Hub - people from various commissions can come in and speak to what their experience has been. Other sources, webpage-resources from ICTJ, Kearns and West, etc. • Kearns & West: o First phase Fact Finding engagement during this phase will focus on facilitating the commission's design of the fact finding process. The specific process is likely to evolve throughout the assessment phase with discussion topics that could include defining fact finding areas and specific hypotheses, identifying a framework for data acceptability, and identifying data sources. o Strategic Advisor: Co -advising the commission and local consultant team on process design. Assuming includes participation in commission calls and standing consultant team coordinating calls. o Fact Finding Lead Commission Facilitator: In partnership with the city staff, design agendas and facilitate commissions discussions informing, confirming, and assessing the fact finding process.

The group of people involved have already begun meeting to get to know one another and are making plans to meet in person. Healing Circles have roots in Indigenous culture and the team will start the process of co -creation to generate a process that can be authentically used in Iowa to help heal our people and our land. These Circles will then be offered at citywide healing ceremonies, truth -telling events, etc. to hold space for those that need healing. o Assist in creating recommendations Healing/Reconciliation Partners o The interim coordination of all partners will be done by this group until the City integrates identified resources into the larger team (e.g. staff). o Iowa Healing/Reconciliation Circle Co-creation/Training with Native Partners ■ Our group will collaborate with the Native Partners and assist with the creation of healing events. ■ Civil process made sacred- we will incorporate opportunities to host rituals 5 o Strategic Doing Session to facilitate coordinated action steps for the TRC Commission Members ■ Strategic Doing will result in a range of pathfinder projects that are generated by the people at the session. Our team will: • Generate the event- location, marketing materials, packet information, etc. • Co -create a list of attendees in addition to the public • Facilitate the process in order to generate pathfinder projects • Follow up with each group for the duration of the project to ensure group progress and reporting out o Assist in creating recommendations —Presentation to Council & Progress Evaluation— Second Phase (4 Months) This second phase spans four months and builds off of the first phase. Truth -telling and fact-finding will be a significant focus in this phase. All teams will collaborate with the TRC and City staff to co -create final recommendations that will be sent to the City Council. • Think Peace o Focus on truth -telling events, including meetings on ■ Types of public hearings: focused on cases, on types of situation or on institutions involved ■ Assessment of different models of public hearings according to their focus: investigative or symbolic ■ Identification of criteria to select and invite participants to the public hearings ■ Preparation of a protocol for public hearings including roles for the commissioners, public, press and participants. • Kearns & West o Second phase Fact Finding activities will focus in two areas: ■ 1) Advancing data collection, aggregation, and directed -analysis as defined by the commission; and, ■ 2) facilitating commission discussions to analyze collected information and develop their findings. o Strategic Advisor: Engage across the consultant team and with the commission as appropriate on process iteration. Assumes participation in commission calls and standing consultant team coordinating calls. o Fact Finding Lead Facilitator: In partnership with the city staff, design agendas and facilitate commissions discussions providing fact finding updates, exploring preliminary and iterative findings, and advancing the commission's development of findings and recommendations. n • Community Researcher/ Fact Finding Data Liaison: Inform and track data requirements and any preliminary data collection.

Support commission in developing materials and documentation as requested. • Native Partners o Iowa Healing/Reconciliation Circle Co-creation/Training with Healing/Reconciliation Partners o Assist in creating final recommendations • Healing/Reconciliation Partners o Strategic Doing Follow up - Reaching pathfinder projects that build trust and community capacity. o Iowa Healing/Reconciliation Circle Co-creation/Training with Native Partners o Assist in creating final recommendations ---Presentation to Council & Progress Evaluation & Final Recommendations -- Third Phase (6 Months & Beyond) The third phase is meant to serve as a placeholder for potential additional work that arises in the preceding months. Our team acknowledges that the TRC has a June 30th deadline for completing their work, and we want to note that if this contracted work begins in September (it is August 30th) that would only leave 10 months for the process. We strongly feel as though this is not enough time, and are including a third phase that will include work that will be clearer after an evaluation of the second phase. 7 p�f C L c (N CO C uy'. tYp C i v V V au QN ro O a a a u w 0- 0 Y N m pp M - c � V V C m O aL a 2 ¢ tko 0o c c o u •�, 00 c u c v c a m 0 (U •� Q O U 2 U N N � N C U txo j O N H a m — 3/23 — 2/23 ` O Y C C L a) C 3 v0i O d > v 11/22�CL wa m c 6 u i C d OD 0 10/22a—Y.EbMCN a o tim Lnn0v � N 9/22 ~ c v c o o CJ = C •Y m E N E O V G 0 U ?

As you know, the members of Think Peace have followed closely the experience of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission since its inception, and have actively engaged with its members, the city authorities and the community to provide advice, share experience and encourage a constructive process, overcoming the challenges that are intrinsic to a reconciliation process. In doing so, we have put at the service of the commission our experience as truth tellers, reconcilers and peace builders in the US and abroad: supporting key truth commissions around the world, including trauma healing as an essential component, and seeking constructive engagement within divided communities. We appreciate that the City Council of Iowa City supports the commission's mission, having recently extended its temporal mandate, to ensure it complies with its objectives. Further, we know the Council support's the commission intention to receive expert facilitation to its multiple charges, through diverse advisers, including those based in Iowa and in other places. Therefore, we propose a specialized facilitation in one of the aspects covered by the commission's mandate: those public outreach, participation and education activities necessary for the work of truth -telling and reconciliation, per resolution 20-228 of September 15, 2020. We believe that Iowa City and other facilitators have the knowledge and wisdom to support other processes necessary for the success of the commission, and we would like to participate in a respectful, complementary, inclusive manner, focusing on the public processes. We believe this approach will result in a cooperative and positive experience for the commission. As you will see in our proposal, we emphasize respect for your specificjourney and wisdom, pragmatism to apply best practices, and humility to ensure you, citizens of Iowa City are firmly in the lead of your truth and reconciliation process. 2 Sincerely Eduardo Gonzalez Convener — Truth and Reconciliation Hub —Think Peace 1. What is Think Peace? Think Peace, Learning and Support Hub, is a safe and respectful space for those leading efforts on truth, reconciliation, peacebuilding, and trauma healing in the United States and internationally. We are aware of the risk that polarization and legacies of injustice pose for democracy and peace, and we urgently believe that truth and healing can lead to positive societal transformation. We creatively integrate neuroscience and trauma awareness with human rights and transitional justice to honor the experiences of survivors, communities and all those who need healing and crave for transformation. Think Peace is an initiative of the Mary Hoch Foundation, a charitable organization with a 501c3 identity. It is convened by Eduardo Gonzalez, Anti Pentikainen and Colette Rausch, but it works not on the basis of individuals but of partnerships, communities of practice and hubs of practitioners. For the specific work of supporting truth and reconciliation processes in the United States, Think Peace partners with Dr. David A. Ragland, co -executive director of the Truth Telling Project. They will be supported in this project by Ms. Jena Kitchen. Think Peace believes strongly in co -creating processes and in sharing knowledge. We differ from the model of "experts" that are owners of specialized knowledge, and that, with that knowledge, seek to replace local wisdom. On the contrary, we propose partnership models where research and action are participatory and community based. Co -creating a process leads to co -learning. Additionally, such a participatory process is also a step in the journey toward trauma healing. This is a political, ethical, and scientific assertion on our side: we believe that healing is impossible without societal justice. We believe that our role is to be allies and supporters, not to replace or lead local communities, and we finally know what neuroscience reveals about the most effective ways to heal within a truth telling process. 2. Analysis, Objective and Specific Facilitation Tasks: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Iowa City (IC-TRC) has had a complex journey, similar to that of many truth commissions, whose initial phases were marked by tension. Indeed, as Archbishop Tutu, chairperson of the well-known South African TRC explained, a truth commission cannot but represent the tensions, divisions and brokenness of a community. It was, in hindsight, inevitable for the IC-TRC to face the challenge of acute dissent. Any transformative task, and particular one addressing the entrenched injustice of racism, will face fundamental problems. Communities harmed by injustice are communities characterized by intergenerational trauma and distrust: indeed, withholding trust is sometimes the only reasonable response for those who have experienced the repeated trauma of marginalization, violence and other forms of racial injustice. 4 However, the experience of the difficult beginnings of the commission does not cancel but, on the contrary, increases the need for the restorative process envisioned by City Council Resolution 20-228. Today, more than ever before, Iowa City needs to give truth a chance. The work of the IC-TRC is based upon three pillars: Fact -Finding, Truth -Telling and Reconciliation. Fad -Finding is a research process including the compilation and analysis of information in order to respond to the need of effective policy -making. Truth -Telling is the creation of safe, creative and respectful spaces to empower the voices of communities who suffered injustice. Reconciliation is defined in the mandate of the commission as a dialogical encounter between different sections of Iowa City, including institutions, to learn from different perspectives and recommend sustainable change. The challenges experienced by the IC-TRC in its initial phases make, in our analysis, essential to ensure that the Truth -Telling process is designed effectively, to address the existing mistrust, building relationships based on full information, an honest exchange of perspectives, and ensuring a trauma healing perspective. The objective of this facilitation proposal then, is no different from that of the IC-TRC, as described by its mandate (Res. 20-228, 11-12): the commission must effectively discharge its tasks of Fact -Finding, Truth -Telling and Reconciliation, creating a safe and supportive space, premised on respect, and striving for healing and justice. That safe and supportive space will be a public process, for truth -telling and reconciliation will require, per the mandate (Res. 20-228,11b, 11c), inter alia, the following activities: • The creation of multiple fora to share stories of racial injustice and trauma • Artistic and performative expressions to reveal the truth • The creation of a repository for community stories • Direct conversations across institutions and sections of the community • Opportunities of learning about racial discrimination and injustice To ensure that the IC TRC complies with its charges, then, Think Peace proposes to facilitate those public processes related to the objectives of Truth -Telling and Reconciliation, including the following: The design of public hearings where stories of racial injustice and trauma are shared, in conditions of safety, respect and ensuring a trauma healing perspective and the insights provided by neuroscience. Such public hearings, learning from international experience and previous US experiences, must have a gender justice perspective, must honor indigenous and local wisdom, must respect and include LGBTI voices, should be based 5 on the respect for human rights, and should have a restorative focus on survivors and victims. • The design of public outreach campaigns whereby the IC-TRC will clearly communicate to the community its objectives, principles and plans, ensuring a clear understanding of the potentials and limitations of the commission, and setting the basis for well-informed and respectful partnerships with the community. • The design of an engagement campaign directed to, but also by, Iowa City's youth, artistic communities, faith -based organizations, and other active and creative sections of the community to explore alternative forms of story -telling and trauma -healing. • The design of a curating and archiving process to receive significant quantities of community testimonies, ensuring the voluntary character of the statements, trauma healing perspectives, the safety of sensitive information, and the educational potential of the repository. 3. Expertise in the proposed area of facilitation The members of Think Peace and Dr. Ragland, co -executive director of the Truth Telling Project are among the foremost experts in truth and reconciliation processes in the United States, bringing with them a rich international experience. Mr. Gonzalez and Dr. Ragland have a rich experience designing and supporting creative and safe public truth -telling. Mr. Gonzalez directed the Public Hearings and Witness Protection Unit at the Peruvian Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2001, and has supported since the design of public hearings for truth commissions around the globe. Dr. Ragland co-founded the Truth Telling Project, as a US -wide community story -telling process after the killing of Mike Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, and he has advocated for linking truth -telling and reparations for structural and historical racial injustice. Ms. Rausch and Mr. Pentikainen have decades of experience in the fields of peacebuilding, justice and conflict resolution, including work in the most complex scenarios in all continents. Ms. Rausch has pioneered the development of a trauma healing perspective into peacebuilding, informed by neuroscience, and ensuring trauma awareness and resilience. Mr. Pentikainen is a leading theorist and practitioner of reconciliation models, including the fostering of insider reconcilers, leading the rapprochement of divided communities. Our program associate, Ms. Kitchen has extensive experience in intercultural scenarios in the US and abroad. She is interested in the process of leadership creation in contexts of transgenerational trauma, racial healing, and de -polarization The team of Think Peace brings together, then, decades of experience and unique expertise to the design of truth and reconciliation processes, mastering the multiple processes of public engagement by a truth commission, with a perspective that is respectful of survivors and victims, based on human rights, informed by trauma healing and inspired by a vision of justice and healing. 11 4. Proposed work plan The mandate of the commission defines the facilitation process as a temporal one, subject to the need of the IC-TRC, which will be free to decide on its form and duration. This responds, in our analysis, to the growing skills of the commission, which will strengthen its capacities in the actual implementation of its different activities. Moreover, the IC-TRC temporal mandate was extended by the City Council, in recognition of the need to make up for the time that was unused due to the difficulties in the first phase of the life of the commission. The original May 2022 deadline for the products of the commission was extended for an additional year. For that reason, Think Peace proposes an initial process of six months to support the four above mentioned activities, focusing on the design, and ensuring that the IC-TRC always has the discretionary capacity to decide on its relationship with Think Peace, and to decide on the continuity and shape of a process of accompaniment. We are open to a continued relationship with the commission, but believe strongly that such a link must be continuously evaluated and decided upon by Iowa City, the commissioners and, above all, the communities served by the commission. We propose to divide the facilitating process in three phases: aj Preparatory phase: In agreement with other technical partners, and under the guidance of Iowa City -based organizations, Think Peace proposes to have a supporting role. Subject to continuous consultation and emphasizing trust -building, we believe this phase should take at least 3 months. This phase should include the preparation of the terrain: establishing mechanisms of coordination between the commission Think Peace and the different technical partners that will support the work of the commission. As Think Peace proposes to focus on the public processes of the commission with a focus on truth -seeking, so there is a need to harmonize this work with other technical partners focused on fact finding and reconciliation. Also in the preparatory phase, the TRC with the facilitation of Think Peace will assess its mandate regarding truth -telling and reconciliation, to jointly identify and conceptualize the key activities foreseen in the mandate. 7 In this phase, we will introduce key elements regarding our approaches: the knowledge of truth and reconciliation processes, but also the insights provided by neuroscience and the trauma healing perspective. This preparatory phase must include the development of instruments for the commission's regular work, including: - How to streamline its activities, specially meetings, in order to provide a closer and agile relationship with the community. How to clearly explain to the citizenry of Iowa City the principles leading its public work, as a compact between the commission and the communities it serves. How to design key activities under the three elements of its mandate: activities on truth -seeking, fact-finding and reconciliation. This phase should include at least one in -presence mission in Iowa City, including a public educational training, directed to stakeholders in the TRC process. b) Products phase: This is the longest and most critical phase of the facilitation process and it deals with the four products proposed: a plan for the implementation of public hearings leading to the realization of the first hearing, a plan for the implementation of a public outreach campaign, a plan for the implementation of a creative engagement campaign, and a plan for the creation of a repository of story telling. The production of each of these four products requires a similar methodology including: • The examination of previous experiences in the US and abroad from similar truth and reconciliation processes. The consultation with key partners in Iowa City to identify the specific needs of the community, which may differ from international or previous national experience, aiming at ensuring an authentically local process, with local wisdom, practices, and resources. This should always include a trauma healing perspective. The preparation of specific work plans for each product, including a detailed description of objectives, methodologies, resources needed and timeline. The production of the results will require the presence of at least two of the senior facilitators at two different moments in the process, including key meetings and at the implementation of the first public hearing of the commission. Given the critical importance of the public hearings, this facilitation proposes that in the case of the public hearings, the facilitation supports notjust the design but the actual implementation of the first hearing in conditions of safety, respect and dignity, with a view to ensure that the commission learns by doing and strengthens its capacity to lead all following public hearings. N c) Evaluation phase In the final phase, the TRC and Think Peace will evaluate their work together, with a particular focus on the implementation of the first public hearing and the tasks needed for the implementation of the other products. The TRC will decide whether it will require the facilitation of Think Peace or other facilitators to continue the implementation of hearings and the other public products linked to truth telling and reconciliation. Refer to the annexed Excel Timeline page for details. All these phases would have not only the facilitation of the experts provided by Think Peace, but the IC TRC will be supported by two additional resources: 1. A hub of practitioners of truth and reconciliation in the US, which is being organized by Think peace since November of 2021, and is convened by Dr. Ragland. The hub of practitioners includes participants of truth commission processes, restorative justice practioners, indigenous healing practitioners and transitional justice experts. 2. A community of practice for trauma healing, being convened by Ms. Rausch, which integrates the approaches of practitioners and experiences across the country. 5. Proposed budget a) Time allocation by team members The budget includes the time dedication for the four resource persons as well as for a program associate over 6 months, calculated at a rate of 22 days per month. Mr. Gonzalez's and Dr. Ragland's dedication will be at 20% of their time, at a fixed day rate of 400 USD each. Ms. Bausch's and Mr. Pentikainen's dedication will be at 10% of their time at a fixed day rate of 400 USD each Program associate Jena Kitchen's dedication will be at 20% of her time at a fixed day rate of 200 USD. Think Peace proposes to hire a locally based facilitator at 50% of their time to ensure the prompt and constant connection with the commission at a fixed day rate of 200 USD b) Travel expenses @] Travel expenses suppose two trips to Iowa City by two senior facilitators, for a total of three days of meetings and operations. c) Overhead Think Peace will include an overhead of 7.5% of all expenses to ensure administrative and communications support. Refer to the annexed Excel Timeline page for details. 6.

She was previously with the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), where she held multiple leadership roles, including founding its Neuroscience and Peacebuilding Initiative and leading the development of new approaches, research, and tools —including Justice and Security Dialogue, a pioneering initiative to build trust between local communities and police. Prior to USIP, Colette held senior human rights and rule of law positions with the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe's Mission in Kosovo. She served the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) as legal advisor in Bosnia and Hungary, and as program manager for Central and East Europe. And she served as a federal prosecutor and public defender.
