Post by Rosie Gray »

This chat log was provided by Lam Erin, who wasn't there at the beginning of the meeting:

[2013/12/14 10:43] Gwyneth Llewelyn: There.
[2013/12/14 10:43] Pat (patroklus.murakami): /me notes that cleo only reprimands me and not other citizens...
[2013/12/14 10:43] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: :)
[2013/12/14 10:43] Callipygian Christensen: /me inspects the seam of her sleeve wich is on the arm in the air
[2013/12/14 10:44] Sudane Erato: hehe
[2013/12/14 10:44] Shep (shep.titian): Calli :))
[2013/12/14 10:44] Callipygian Christensen: thank you - two things
[2013/12/14 10:44] Gwyneth Llewelyn: On my last count to insert Bags proposal as a bill, I've counted 'ayes' from Gwyn, Cleo, Tor
[2013/12/14 10:44] Second Life: Ceasar Xigalia is online.
[2013/12/14 10:44] Callipygian Christensen: It has been debated at length in the past that talking of soething at RA is not good enough as notification to the citizens
[2013/12/14 10:45] Callipygian Christensen: most dont read the transcrits so there have been many times that what is talked of here is not considred read by them.
[2013/12/14 10:45] Callipygian Christensen: Second, no whee in Bag's text or RA's for that matter is wording of a 'motion'..it is described as ideas
[2013/12/14 10:46] Callipygian Christensen: if an actual motion were put out it should have been shown clearly I believe..and posted for citizens to be aware of *done*
[2013/12/14 10:47] Gwyneth Llewelyn: /me raises hand to answer to Calli, but seriously, I'd prefer to go on with the vote instead of discussing in the middle of a voting! That's highly irregular!
[2013/12/14 10:48] Tor Karlsvalt: /me raises hand.
[2013/12/14 10:48] Shep (shep.titian): It has already passed the vote
[2013/12/14 10:49] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Ok!
[2013/12/14 10:49] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Thanks
[2013/12/14 10:49] Shep (shep.titian): I daresay Rosie's 7 day won't count lol
[2013/12/14 10:49] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: /me raises hand..
[2013/12/14 10:50] Shep (shep.titian): MMoving on
[2013/12/14 10:50] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Speaking of Rosies vote we never did declare for the Conflict of Interest Law .. this term.. so i think probably that would have been what she would say, that she is the LEader of the Guild and cannot vote on matter to do with it at all, but i am not sure..
[2013/12/14 10:50] Shep (shep.titian): Should be reading last meetings minutes
[2013/12/14 10:50] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: i raised my hand shep
[2013/12/14 10:51] Shep (shep.titian): they are not available yet .. so Speakers on today's agenda
[2013/12/14 10:51] Tor Karlsvalt: /me thinks we all have conflicts of interest as soon as our land it in question.
[2013/12/14 10:52] Pat (patroklus.murakami): i'd like to speak on cleo's proposal to turn back the clock on RA size
[2013/12/14 10:52] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: there is a law about conflict of interest .. regarding RA members.. some conflicts are more relevant than others
[2013/12/14 10:52] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): /me wonders why the CDSers are all so paranoid about conflicts of interest.
[2013/12/14 10:52] Shep (shep.titian): OK I decided to move on Cleo
[2013/12/14 10:52] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Ok, so review and approve minutes from last RA meeting, right?
[2013/12/14 10:52] Second Life: Dr. Endora McAndrews (endoramcandrewsii) is offline.
[2013/12/14 10:52] Gwyneth Llewelyn: /me refrains from answering publicly to snarky comments — I'll do my best to behave today heh heh
[2013/12/14 10:53] Shep (shep.titian): Rosie gains no benefit from freely giving her time and expertise
[2013/12/14 10:53] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: shep what does that have to do with her voting on Guild issues as an RA member?
[2013/12/14 10:53] Shep (shep.titian): Where is the conflict?
[2013/12/14 10:53] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Seriously :)
[2013/12/14 10:53] Shep (shep.titian): SEriously
[2013/12/14 10:54] Tor Karlsvalt: /me hopes we can just vote on the minutes.
[2013/12/14 10:54] Shep (shep.titian): WE don't have them Tor
[2013/12/14 10:54] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Oh?
[2013/12/14 10:54] Shep (shep.titian): I had moved forward
[2013/12/14 10:54] Callipygian Christensen: They've been on the Forms since the 9th..so apparently everyone in CDS knows them
[2013/12/14 10:54] Second Life: Minh Seon Shi (shenmei) is offline.
[2013/12/14 10:55] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Sorry. Aren't the minutes here: http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4235 (that's what you meant, Calli, right?)
[2013/12/14 10:55] Callipygian Christensen: Indeed Gwyn
[2013/12/14 10:56] Shep (shep.titian): I thought they were to be published AFTER being ratitied
[2013/12/14 10:56] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Indeed, you thought well
[2013/12/14 10:56] Gwyneth Llewelyn: For example, I have obviously to raise an issue with those minutes —
[2013/12/14 10:56] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: that is what was voted on, indeed.
[2013/12/14 10:56] Callipygian Christensen: There was a Forum post addressing that too
[2013/12/14 10:56] Gwyneth Llewelyn: namely, I wish to add "Gwyneth Llewelyn proposed to add the Chancellors proposal to be voted on the next RA session"
[2013/12/14 10:56] Viking fur cloak resize: whispers: Time out, click again for use...
[2013/12/14 10:57] Gwyneth Llewelyn: (yes, I'm ignoring that deliberately, Calli … leaving drama on where it should be hehe)
[2013/12/14 10:58] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Besides that, and assuming we haven't another text besides what was posted on the forums, I'm fine with the minutes
[2013/12/14 10:58] Viking fur cloak resize: whispers: Time out, click again for use...
[2013/12/14 10:58] Shep (shep.titian): Ok well if everyone is happy with them we can vote on them
[2013/12/14 10:59] Tor Karlsvalt: aye
[2013/12/14 10:59] Shep (shep.titian): Vote
[2013/12/14 10:59] Tor Karlsvalt: aye
[2013/12/14 10:59] Gwyneth Llewelyn: With or without my amendment?
[2013/12/14 11:00] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: abstain as they were not treated correctly .
[2013/12/14 11:00] Tor Karlsvalt: Gwyn, why don't you motion to add the amendment.
[2013/12/14 11:00] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I thought I just did... but ok...
[2013/12/14 11:00] Tor Karlsvalt: well i heard a complaint.
[2013/12/14 11:00] Gaius Tiberius Curio (guillaume.mistwalker): /me did not read "I motion..."
[2013/12/14 11:01] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Agreed. I said "I wish to add..."
[2013/12/14 11:01] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Now I'll rephrase that:
[2013/12/14 11:01] Shep (shep.titian): It's such a shame this was'nt all sorted through in a manner of lets get this all right together
[2013/12/14 11:01] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I motion that we move the text of the minutes of the meeting on Dec 3. as posted on http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4235 to add "Gwyneth Llewelyn proposed to add the Chancellors proposal to be voted on the next RA session"
[2013/12/14 11:01] Tor Karlsvalt: second
[2013/12/14 11:02] Shep (shep.titian): Vote
[2013/12/14 11:02] Tor Karlsvalt: aye
[2013/12/14 11:02] Gwyneth Llewelyn: And I agree, Shep. I would prefer that next time we get the minutes during the RA session, but ok (perhaps we can amend the motion made on the first extraordinary meeting to post minutes, and explain HOW they should be posted — but that's not on the agenda today, so I'll hush)
[2013/12/14 11:02] Gwyneth Llewelyn: aye
[2013/12/14 11:02] Gwyneth Llewelyn: BTW: aye on approving the minutes with my proposed amendment :)

[2013/12/14 11:09] Shep (shep.titian): Lam will you be speaking for the Guild?
[2013/12/14 11:09] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Ok, as a point of honour — there has been some discussion around how to properly post/amend/approve the minutes, and Calli just pointed out what was originally approved — "Rosie Gray: Motion to have regular formal Minutes of meetings posted of the RA meetings, and to include a separate posting of the chat as well. All to be posted onto the CDS forum. The Minutes will be approved or amended at the following RA meeting. Seconded by Gwyneth Llewelyn, all voted in favour, motion carried." So the procedure that we have established on Nov 23 means — minutes go on the forums, to be amended and approved at teh subsequent RA session
[2013/12/14 11:10] Second Life: Kristaki Hudson is online.
[2013/12/14 11:10] Lam Erin: (let me know when I have to speak Shep)
[2013/12/14 11:10] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Here is where this was approved: http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4236
[2013/12/14 11:10] Gwyneth Llewelyn: and sorry. My point of honour is finished. Thanks :)
[2013/12/14 11:11] Second Life: Seth Regan (mankind.tracer) is offline.
[2013/12/14 11:12] Shep (shep.titian): WE had moved on .. that SHOULD be stricken from the minutes

[2013/12/14 11:12] Shep (shep.titian): Ok Citizens concerns
[2013/12/14 11:13] Callipygian Christensen: /me raises her hand
[2013/12/14 11:13] Gwyneth Llewelyn: What should be stricken out of the minutes? A point of honour as a declaration of vote, or Lam's request to speak?
[2013/12/14 11:13] Second Life: Diana Debevec is online.
[2013/12/14 11:13] Shep (shep.titian): I am sure you are stunned to silence .. but if there are any concerns?
[2013/12/14 11:14] Gwyneth Llewelyn: /me notes that Lam & Calli raised their hands :)
[2013/12/14 11:14] Shep (shep.titian): Calli?
[2013/12/14 11:14] Callipygian Christensen: thank you - the lack of an archivist for the term, and of a pro tempore LRA, is likely from past experiences to cause difficulty in the term. Would the RA please consider appointing one of each please
[2013/12/14 11:15] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Oh, I definitely will propose that as a motion, Calli — if the LRA accepts it as a motion, I'm all for it
[2013/12/14 11:15] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: My understanding is Bagheera was remaining archivest .
[2013/12/14 11:15] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Conflict of interest, Cleo :D
[2013/12/14 11:15] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: We discussed this. .. i agree.
[2013/12/14 11:15] Sudane Erato: lol
[2013/12/14 11:15] Shep (shep.titian): Trebor had agreed Archivist .. but last I looked was'nt here
[2013/12/14 11:15] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: He is here now.
[2013/12/14 11:15] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: or he was..
[2013/12/14 11:15] Shep (shep.titian): So he was
[2013/12/14 11:16] Trebor Warcliffe: I arrived late, my time was off by an hour
[2013/12/14 11:16] Sudane Erato: he's here breathing down the back of my neck
[2013/12/14 11:16] Shep (shep.titian): Ok Treb
[2013/12/14 11:16] Sudane Erato: :)
[2013/12/14 11:16] Trebor Warcliffe: AUNTIEEE!!!
[2013/12/14 11:16] Tor Karlsvalt: :)
[2013/12/14 11:16] Bagheera Kristan: At the swearing in, I think we had discussed that I am NOT archivist anymore
[2013/12/14 11:16] Second Life: Alex (healer) is online.
[2013/12/14 11:16] Shep (shep.titian): Yes Bags
[2013/12/14 11:16] Gwyneth Llewelyn: yes
[2013/12/14 11:16] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: I misunderstood, thank you Bagheera.
[2013/12/14 11:16] Shep (shep.titian): Sorry Lam

[2013/12/14 11:17] Gwyneth Llewelyn: So can we confirm Trebor as appointed RA Archivist? :) Just to clarify matters?
[2013/12/14 11:17] Gwyneth Llewelyn: (assuming Trebor's willing)
[2013/12/14 11:17] Shep (shep.titian): Treb .. still ok?
[2013/12/14 11:17] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: He cant tell time :)
[2013/12/14 11:17] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: should we worry about this ?
[2013/12/14 11:17] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Heh!
[2013/12/14 11:18] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes I am willing. I only ask that one other individual keeps a log just in case of technical errors or in my absence.
[2013/12/14 11:18] Tor Karlsvalt: The viewer keeps track of the time.
[2013/12/14 11:18] Tor Karlsvalt: reasonable.
[2013/12/14 11:18] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Better to have a RA archivist that cannot tell time that none at all.... ok, motion to approve Trebor as RA Archivist during the 20th term. Any seconds?
[2013/12/14 11:18] Trebor Warcliffe: The sun is not shining outside my house today so I was unable to determine what time it was
[2013/12/14 11:18] Shep (shep.titian): Ok ... thanks Treb :)

[2013/12/14 11:19] Tor Karlsvalt: /me looks out the window at the snow piling up and envies Trebor's Florida sun.
[2013/12/14 11:19] Shep (shep.titian): Gwyn voting?
[2013/12/14 11:20] Shep (shep.titian): Ok its passed anyway with three votes
[2013/12/14 11:20] Trebor Warcliffe: I VOLUNTEERED FOR WHAT? LOL

[2013/12/14 11:24] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: I have a question about parcels in Arears, one i saw this am was 68 days in arrears while we have people trying to buy land with none available.
[2013/12/14 11:24] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: a few for two weeks in areears also
[2013/12/14 11:24] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: done

[2013/12/14 11:25] Sudane Erato: i can help with that answer... if requested
[2013/12/14 11:25] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: sure :)
[2013/12/14 11:25] Bagheera Kristan: That is something I had intended to look at - but as some of you know - this week was spent putting out fires LOL
[2013/12/14 11:25] Shep (shep.titian): Sudane if you would please
[2013/12/14 11:25] Bagheera Kristan: I'd behonored if Sudane would help
[2013/12/14 11:26] Sudane Erato: all the boxes are set to allow up to 90 days in arraers... because
[2013/12/14 11:26] Second Life: Alex (healer) is offline.
[2013/12/14 11:26] Sudane Erato: many people go into arraers without intending to
[2013/12/14 11:26] Sudane Erato: and then pay up... this has just happened recently
[2013/12/14 11:26] Sudane Erato: so... that system works from an auto poitnt of view
[2013/12/14 11:26] Sudane Erato: but
[2013/12/14 11:27] Sudane Erato: if someone actually wants to buy
[2013/12/14 11:27] Sudane Erato: I would suggest that they contact the Chancellor
[2013/12/14 11:27] Trebor Warcliffe: Thankfully when they pay up they catch up all of their back tier plus whatever new tier is due.
[2013/12/14 11:27] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: So this actually means i can log in , pay tier, then after six months come and pay, so i can log in two times a year and pay and vote ? This is something ages ago we discussed when the first tier boxes were set up to make sure that people were in world one time a month. Is it about collecting money ? or participation.
[2013/12/14 11:27] Sudane Erato: and that the Chancellor contact the person in arrears
[2013/12/14 11:27] Sudane Erato: and that if that person doesn't pay
[2013/12/14 11:27] Sudane Erato: then the parcel be repossessed and resold
[2013/12/14 11:28] Sudane Erato: Celo... many peo;lle go into arraers
[2013/12/14 11:28] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: how long does the chancellor have to wait to take the parcel ?
[2013/12/14 11:28] Sudane Erato: and then it used to be that the land would go for sale
[2013/12/14 11:28] Sudane Erato: and then the original owner would come back

[2013/12/14 11:29] Sudane Erato: and then pay again... so that the CDS lost a LOT of money that way
[2013/12/14 11:29] Tor Karlsvalt: /me raises hand to speak to this issue also, if I can provide any history.
[2013/12/14 11:29] Sudane Erato: indeed... many folks well known to us did that procedure
[2013/12/14 11:29] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: So this evolved with the new hppo but violates the former law and rules of one time a month payment. And it so discurouages participation f people,
[2013/12/14 11:29] Lam Erin: If people come back and pay it is fine but if they dont then CDS loses alot of money
[2013/12/14 11:29] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: also it is a way to allow a chancellor who is "rogue" too much discretion
[2013/12/14 11:29] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Land EQUALS voting power
[2013/12/14 11:29] Sudane Erato: people used that system to benefit themselves
[2013/12/14 11:30] Sudane Erato: and it was changed to 90 days to prevent that
[2013/12/14 11:30] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: and if this is too much discretion with the chancellor trying to get re elected. well..

[2013/12/14 11:30] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: But let me ask one technical question.
[2013/12/14 11:30] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: of sudane, or tor or trebor..
[2013/12/14 11:30] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: if Bagheera found a parcel in lets say 80 days in arrears.. and wanted to reset it .. can she
[2013/12/14 11:30] Sudane Erato: of course
[2013/12/14 11:30] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: and set it for sale or indeed give it to someone she wishes
[2013/12/14 11:31] Sudane Erato: if she wishes, she technically has that power
[2013/12/14 11:31] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: This is unacceptable to be at the whim of a person who may want to get re elected. it is a way to pack the vote.
[2013/12/14 11:31] Trebor Warcliffe: Cleo the law states that in order to vote the individual must be a citizen for at least 30 calendar days. The use of Hippo doesn't violate this law.
[2013/12/14 11:31] Shep (shep.titian): Giving would be frowned on lol
[2013/12/14 11:31] Sudane Erato: that's right
[2013/12/14 11:31] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: or indeed keep people from getting in CDS, and robs us from money
[2013/12/14 11:32] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: I have witnesssed Chancellors giving land to people they know. Shep. it can happen. we have no transparency i know of
[2013/12/14 11:32] Shep (shep.titian): Not if they catch up
[2013/12/14 11:32] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: 1L
[2013/12/14 11:32] Sudane Erato: it robs us from money when people leave their own hippo box go unpaid... and then come back and pay as if nothing had happened
[2013/12/14 11:32] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: Well the point isnt who did it or not, bu t that if tehy can, it needs to be fixed IMHO
[2013/12/14 11:32] Sudane Erato: and thats what happened when it was not set for 90 days
[2013/12/14 11:32] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: i agree Sudane, lets fix that it cannot happen.

[2013/12/14 11:33] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: No the problem i mean is that the chancellor alone has this discretion

[2013/12/14 11:33] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: I do not agree with the system the way it is now, because it gives the chancellor too much discretion to make this and it is not transparent
[2013/12/14 11:33] Trebor Warcliffe: So make a proposal addressign that issue adn present it in the forums and at the next meeting.

[2013/12/14 11:34] Tor Karlsvalt: /me notes that Cleo was done
[2013/12/14 11:35] Tor Karlsvalt: I might add that during my time as Chancellor most of the people in arrears paid up their past due amounts. Several newer citizens, lacking any history of payment were booted before 90 days or after extensive efforts to contact them were ignored.
[2013/12/14 11:35] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: haha til sudane clarified. still waiting to find out legally who makes the call.
[2013/12/14 11:35] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: so it is up to the chancellor alone :)
[2013/12/14 11:35] CLEOPATRA Xigalia: at the chancellors discretion legally
[2013/12/14 11:35] Shep (shep.titian): Cleo this is too big for here and now .. or do yopu want to pass on your item ?

[2013/12/14 11:53] Bagheera Kristan: okay thankyou
[2013/12/14 11:53] Bagheera Kristan: As a new Chancellor, it seemed wise to seek counsel from others, which is what I’ve been doing. I am especially indebted to Lam Erin’s advice to me yesterday - he gave me the example of the EU - 26 separate countries - all bickering about everything, but they have to find some way to agree, so they start by finding the points they can agree on.

That said, my intent is to move forward positively, this (LA) has been stalled long enough.

I appreciate and am grateful for the massive contributions of the Guild and our previous Chancellor, Tor, and Calli’s efforts in design.
[2013/12/14 11:53] Bagheera Kristan: For the Guild’s proposed Covenants and mine - I think they can be merged successfully with little effort by adding the word “patio” to the list of items included/defined in landscaping for the 20% on countryside parcels.
[2013/12/14 11:53] Bagheera Kristan: This wouldn’t be in the covenants — but as part of the plan going forward, I have been and continue to oppose the need to move any current tenants. As all the occupied 512m and smaller parcels have government builds on them already, there is no conflict with the proposed Guild Covenants in that area.
[2013/12/14 11:54] Bagheera Kristan: I felt it wasn’t appropriate to declare it was possible to divvy and redesign LA without actually showing how it could be done - so I have worked up a preliminary parcel plan.
[2013/12/14 11:54] Bagheera Kristan: Above my head is a cube - my plan faces me - I will rotate as each item gets posted
[2013/12/14 11:54] Bagheera Kristan: A.

Here is how I propose reparceling LA - each block represents a 4x4m square - which is how sim parceling happens - even if one is building a circle or other shape over the top.

This plan does not disturb existing citizens, addresses the RA’s Tuscan theme and call for a fishing village, protects the prims needed for a 2x prim sim, it also “fixes” the parcels that have gone begging unsold in the SE corner and also makes the main entry from CN into LA have a sense of presence by some sort of fountain/roundabout/beautiful landmark in the road.
[2013/12/14 11:55] Bagheera Kristan: B.

Here is a photo of Portofino Fishing Village - I chose this one because the idea of underlying walls with paths underneath and above creates a sense of “discovery and destination” - so I used this as my model when planning the fishing village portion.
[2013/12/14 11:55] Bagheera Kristan: C.

I know it is hard to visualize from the map, so I did a very rudimentary (and incomplete) workup using prims to show how it might be configured
[2013/12/14 11:55] Second Life: LiLi Ivanova-Palmer (lili.ivanova) is offline.
[2013/12/14 11:55] Bagheera Kristan: D.

Here is a photo of a Tuscan build from the Marketplace - it has 25x48 dimensions - most Marketplace builds have a width of at least 20m and a depth that exceeds 32 - so a 24x48 parcel size in the countryside would be easy for a new citizen to find a build they liked and place it.

I favor having government built in easements whenever possible - since LA is a 2x prim sim, we are required to have the space stay open anyways and requiring the citizens manage their own easements leads to more fights between neighbors than any other single complaint I know. It doesn’t make sense to feed into this negativity when the government could design to avoid it.

This is also why I am requesting the addition of the word “patio” to the Guild’s proposed covenants.
[2013/12/14 11:56] Bagheera Kristan: argh - wrestles with prim - hopes you can all see it

[2013/12/14 12:03] Lam Erin: I Believe that the Chancellor's plan is viable and can be a good plan....I know that tge guild (not myself) has made her own version of the plan....My recommendation is to ask the chancellor to discuss the plan with Guild to seek a mutually agreeable solution but along the lines that the chancellor set
