[09:04] Rosie Gray: not at this time
[09:04] Ranma Tardis: anything from the LUC?
[09:05] Bagheera Kristan: nothing to report that I know of
[09:05] Ranma Tardis: road building committee?
[09:05] Rosie Gray: nothing new
[09:06] Ranma Tardis: brings us to citizen concerns
[09:06] Ranma Tardis: I see none, so it is RA concerns
[09:06] Bagheera Kristan: I have none
[09:06] Tanoujin Milestone: none
[09:06] Laura Azalee: me neither
[09:07] Ranma Tardis: none for me
[09:07] Ranma Tardis: brings us to old business and CDSL 24-01, Bags wanted it on the agenda
[09:07] Tanoujin Milestone: yes, good
[09:08] Bagheera Kristan: thanks! Soro had indicated on the forums he might have something to say... I can post to put the topic back into be active so others may see it too
[09:08] Bagheera Kristan: at the moment, I suggest we table it unless we want to talk about it more right now
[09:09] Ranma Tardis: it was tabled during the last RA meeting and a majority have indicated they are not interested in reviewing the constitution and laws
[09:09] Tanoujin Milestone: that is not exactly true
[09:09] Ranma Tardis: that is how I read it
[09:09] Rosie GrayRosie Gray raises a hand
[09:10] Ranma Tardis: go ahead Rosie
[09:10] Rosie Gray: well, I think that it is the RA's duty to review and update the laws, not to wait for people not on the RA to do it
[09:10] Rosie Gray: there are so many old laws on the books that are no longer relevant, so really... press on!
[09:11] Bagheera Kristan: *raises hand*
[09:11] Ranma Tardis: yes Bags
[09:11] Rosie Gray: Soro making a random comment that he 'might' think about it is
[09:11] Rosie Gray: excuse me I"m not finished
[09:11] Ranma Tardis: sorry, go ahead Rosie
[09:11] Rosie Gray: Soro making a random comment shouldn't be a reason to not continue on, in my opinion
[09:11] Rosie Gray: he has had plenty of time
[09:11] Rosie Gray: okay, done
[09:11] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[09:11] XD-Moderator Speaker List v2.36: You are now On the List to Speak. You Can Click the Device Again to Remove your Name.
[09:12] Tanoujin MilestoneTanoujin Milestone raises hand
[09:12] Bagheera Kristan: my turn?
[09:12] Ranma Tardis: the RA voted to end the review
[09:12] Ranma Tardis: go ahead Bags
[09:13] Bagheera Kristan: The RA voted to continue review on this ONE law at this time. The RA voted to NOT create a committee to review ALL the laws - my argument for not creating THAT committee (to review all the laws) was that was what the RA did anyway, so it was one more layer of bureacracy that was unnuecessary
[09:14] Rosie GrayRosie Gray nods
[09:14] Laura Azalee: that's what I remember too
[09:14] Bagheera Kristan: but CDSL-24 is a flawed law and it is the RA's job to fix the laws. I believe the RA voted to continue with reviewing this law right now
[09:14] Tanoujin MilestoneTanoujin Milestone nods
[09:14] Laura Azalee: yes
[09:14] Bagheera Kristan: As for waiting for Soro, that is my opinion. We are not in a RUSH to fix this law - there is no crisis that requires it be solved immediately, so - since he expressed an interest
[09:15] Bagheera Kristan: in my opinion, we can wait until the next meeting to finalize this but that is my personal opinion. Whatever the RA chooses to do right now is of course, what governs.
[09:15] Bagheera Kristan: Done
[09:15] Ranma Tardis: yet it has been tabled and I have no interest in bringing it back up
[09:17] Bagheera Kristan: Raises hand
[09:17] Ranma Tardis: yes Bags?
[09:18] Bagheera Kristan: It is my understanding that the concept of tabling something means there IS an intention to bring it back up. It is still on the table but not up for discussion right now. I can go look up the wiki on it. Tabling is NOT dismissing, I believe. That is why I suggested it be tabled. It IS a law that needs to be fixed. If tabling it means this discussion dies, then I withdraw my request to table it
[09:18] Bagheera Kristan: done
[09:19] Rosie GrayRosie Gray nods in agreement
[09:19] Tanoujin MilestoneTanoujin Milestone looks at his hand
[09:19] Ranma Tardis: it will take a vote to bring it back up
[09:19] Rosie Gray: you are actually OBLIGED to continue with it, unless you've passed a motion to drop it
[09:20] Bagheera Kristan: ((sorry Tan
[09:20] Tanoujin Milestone: no, thank you, Bags, i agree
[09:20] Ranma Tardis: I do not see the point
[09:20] Ranma Tardis: does anyone have something to do to CDSL 24-01?
[09:21] Tanoujin Milestone: we are trying to review it, Ranma
[09:21] Ranma Tardis: how?
[09:21] Bagheera Kristan: Tan and I have made remarks on the forums about changes we suggested
[09:22] Tanoujin Milestone: but it looks like you try to supress the discussion, Ranma
[09:22] Tanoujin Milestone: i do not thinl that is your Job as a chair
[09:22] Ranma Tardis: no just carrying out the will of the RA
[09:22] Tanoujin Milestone: the RA wants to review CDSL 24-1
[09:23] Tanoujin Milestone: we habe a committee even
[09:23] Bagheera Kristan: *raises hand*
[09:23] Tanoujin Milestone: and a forums discussion
[09:23] Tanoujin Milestone: done for now
[09:23] XD-Moderator Speaker List v2.36: Current Speaker is Now: Laura Azalee
[09:23] XD-Moderator Speaker List v2.36: Your Name has Been Removed From the List of Speakers
[09:23] Ranma Tardis: alright report back when you have a motion
[09:23] Laura Azalee: is it my turn?
[09:24] Ranma Tardis: yes
[09:26] Laura Azalee: you will forgive me if I get it wrong, as I am finding really hard to understand what the problem is but once we have all agreed that the law needs changing and that we are the ones to do it, can't we just take a moment to re read Bag's and Tan's suggestions and see if we can come up with a new text right now?
[09:26] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[09:26] XD-Moderator Speaker List v2.36: You are now On the List to Speak. You Can Click the Device Again to Remove your Name.
