Lilith Ivory: did you all see them and can we aprove on that too?
Soro Dagostino: Out of range.
Aliasi Stonebender: seems alright to me.
Lilith Ivory: /me nods
Lilith Ivory: same for me
Lilith Ivory: I would just like to ask Coop to post the election schedule of the 28th till 30th term at SC announcements as I am afraid nonone will be able to find the link to it again in one or two termy
Lilith Ivory: *terms
RogueGeek Cooperstone: i will do it when i get home. i am stll a church.
RogueGeek Cooperstone: at
Lilith Ivory: oh I see - thank you Coop
Lilith Ivory: thank you for being here anyway
RogueGeek Cooperstone: i will gt the dar
Lilith Ivory: let?s go the new and more important business :)
RogueGeek Cooperstone: get the dates posted
Lilith Ivory: as you might have noticed we have six candidates this time who want to run for a seat in RA
Lilith Ivory: this means we have real elections and the SC needs to collect the email adresses of all citizens again , check them against the citizens list ..
Lilith Ivory: and set up the opa vote website
Aliasi Stonebender: oh no, work! :P
Lilith Ivory: here is a link to it so all can see how it looks like
Lilith Ivory: https://www.opavote.com/
Lilith Ivory: lol yea Aliasi
Lilith Ivory: I can do both this time either collecting email adresses or set up opa vote
Lilith Ivory: It would be my first time to work with opa but it seems to be easy enough to handle it :)
Lilith Ivory: what I need is a volunteer to help me with the other part as I think it should not be done by one SC member only
Lilith Ivory: any volunteers?
RogueGeek Cooperstone: i can just let me know
Soro Dagostino: I can help.
Lilith Ivory: what do you prefer Coop collecting email adresses or setting up the website?
Lilith Ivory: I think it?s best if one collects the adresses so not to confuse our citizens (and the SC)
Lilith Ivory: the one who collects email adresses should be online often enough so none of theadresses get lost
Aliasi Stonebender: I'm on about once a day, usually.
Lilith Ivory: /me smiles and nods
Soro Dagostino: Once or twice a week now.
Lilith Ivory: /me nods
Lilith Ivory: would you like to set up the website coop while Aliasi collects the emails?
Tanoujin Milestone: Hi Delia :)
Sylvia Tamalyn: hi delia :)
Lilith Ivory: while I spam our citizens with reminders to give their adresses to Aliasi :)
Lilith Ivory: HI Delia
Delia Lake: Hi :)
Lilith Ivory: of course I can set up the website too , just tell me what you prefer :)
Aliasi Stonebender: I'm fine with collecting the emails, yeah.
Lilith Ivory: cool thank you Aliasi :)
Lilith Ivory: Coop, do you want to set up the website or should I ?
Soro Dagostino: Lil, I can help with that.
Lilith Ivory: really? ok
Soro Dagostino: That seems to be a task that can be done in RL.
Soro Dagostino: Or, "from" RL.
Lilith Ivory: so you are going to set up the opavote website with the candidates and the citizens Aliasi gives to you?
Lilith Ivory: yes exactly
Soro Dagostino: I think I can.
Tanoujin Milestone: /me raises hand
Lilith Ivory: did you have a look at the website link I posted before
Lilith Ivory: seems to be not very difficult
Lilith Ivory: Tan?
Tanoujin Milestone: Do not forget to present a bill to the incoming RA, Soro. What costs do you expect, Lilith?
Tor Karlsvalt: Sorry crashed, Russian hacks.
Soro Dagostino: I just did. Didn't run it through, but did look at the website.
Lilith Ivory: errm I have presented this bill to the RA a few terms before asking permission to use Opavote untill we have something elase
Lilith Ivory: no need to ask permission whenever we have elections or by elections now
Tanoujin Milestone: oh, thats permanent, okay... did not know that
Lilith Ivory: it?s 5US$ per election
Tanoujin Milestone: fine, done
Lilith Ivory: thank you Tan
Lilith Ivory: ok :)
Lilith Ivory: so Aliasi is going to collect the email adresses and gives them to Soro after checking on the citizens list
Lilith Ivory: and Soro sets up the website
Lilith Ivory: I will spam the citizens to pass their emails to Aliasi :)
Lilith Ivory: are we all fine with that?
Soro Dagostino: And who is to help me understand the website?
Soro Dagostino: lIL?
Lilith Ivory: errrmm
Soro Dagostino: Tan?
Tanoujin Milestone: lol
Tor Karlsvalt: /me expects to make a disbursement with the approval of RA.
Lilith Ivory: in this case I would prefer to set up the website myself as it is my first time too
Tor Karlsvalt: /me thinks he will add election fees to the next budget as a contingency.
Soro Dagostino: Oh, its not been used before.
Tanoujin Milestone: well, i am sure it is quite self explanatory, as far as I saw - but sure, you can ask me any time. But do not forget I hve no true SC experience
Lilith Ivory: it?s seems to be easy for me to handle it
Soro Dagostino: Bowing to Lil! She wants to do it!
Lilith Ivory: perhaps you can send out notecards to half of our citizens asking them to send their adresses to Aliasi Soro
Lilith Ivory: /me laughs
Soro Dagostino: Easiest way to git from a gig, ever.
Aliasi Stonebender: Or make a notice.
Lilith Ivory: I will send out a notice with the official citizens list today asking for emails ...
Lilith Ivory: and perhaps we should spam our citizens later with private Nc to make sure we get as many adresses as possible
Lilith Ivory: voting will start at may 13 already
Lilith Ivory: but we can add citizens to the website till voting closes on may 20
Lilith Ivory: I was collecting emails before and know it?s not too easy to reach all citizens within this short timeframe
Soro Dagostino: As I said, I will help --
Lilith Ivory: yes I will pass the citizens list to you online and tell you which half of the citizens to approach
Aliasi Stonebender: on the other hand, a lot of th eones who can't bother with emails probably can't bother with voting...
Lilith Ivory: and perhaps Coop can do the same with the other half
Lilith Ivory: I agree Aliasi but he have to try as hard as we can :)
Lilith Ivory: tlast time I got the last email adress one week after voting has closed lol
Lilith Ivory: (not saying who it was)
Lilith Ivory: /me smiles
Lilith Ivory: is there anything else that needs to be discussed?
Aliasi Stonebender: heh. I'm sure at least once it will b eme
Aliasi Stonebender: but THIS time, ah, I will be the very first one in the list!
Lilith Ivory: /me laughs
Lilith Ivory: very good :)
Tanoujin Milestone: may I ask a question?
Soro Dagostino: [email protected]
Lilith Ivory: and in your case citizens might give you the emails more eagerly as I had the problem in the past people didn?t think they have to give it to me again as I have so many already
Lilith Ivory: Soro you need to give them to Aliasi via notecard inworld - like all other citizens too
Lilith Ivory: I will send out a detailed NC about how it works after the meeting
Lilith Ivory: Tan?
Tanoujin Milestone: you covered it with your last sentence, thanks
Lilith Ivory: /me smiles
Lilith Ivory: I just wanted to know who collects the adresses before I send out something
Soro Dagostino: I'll wait until then.
Free Radar HUD: /me v1.1 by Crystal Gadgets
Lilith Ivory: grr, SL is like riding a bull for me this weekend
Lilith Ivory: anything else? or did I miss something?
Aliasi Stonebender: I think that's everything.
Lilith Ivory: /me smiles and nods
Lilith Ivory: let?s decide about another time to meet next month
Soro Dagostino: Next meeting tied to the voting list?
Lilith Ivory: yes we can do that
Lilith Ivory: wb Coop :)
RogueGeek Cooperstone: Thank you
Lilith Ivory: what do you suggest Soro?
Soro Dagostino: Before the close of the voting.
Lilith Ivory: why should we meet again before may 20th?
Lilith Ivory: what to talk about?
Soro Dagostino: Just a thought.
Soro Dagostino: Voter's list.
Lilith Ivory: we are supposed to meet once a month (and I have to appologize being lazy with organizing meetings for a while)
Lilith Ivory: I think the voters list is not really something that needs to be discussed
Lilith Ivory: or am I wrong with that?
Lilith Ivory: I would prefer to have our next meeting sometimes in june
Lilith Ivory: as we don?t have many topics to discuss at the moment and I don?t want to waste the time of the SC members and our citizens
Soro Dagostino: ok. As I said , just a suggestion.
Lilith Ivory: /me smiles and nods
RogueGeek Cooperstone: Just for my own clarity
RogueGeek Cooperstone: The only things that might merit our input
RogueGeek Cooperstone: Challenges to the census, and we are good as far as I know
RogueGeek Cooperstone: and if someone misses the cutoff for setting up Opavote
Lilith Ivory: yes, I did not get a callenge at all
Lilith Ivory: we will accept emials till shortly before voing closes and if one misses this deadline she or he will have missed the whole election
RogueGeek Cooperstone: In my mind we could have a hip pocket meeting if need be, but I think we should be ok
Lilith Ivory: I think the same Coop :)
RogueGeek Cooperstone: Just my 2 denarii
Lilith Ivory: yes I think you are right
Lilith Ivory: let??s hoppe nothing unexpectet happens till the election is over
Aliasi Stonebender: and we'll open the voting on the 14th, yes? So I'll hand off the emails collected at that point just ebfore that.
Lilith Ivory: the voting starts at the 13
Lilith Ivory: and when Calli was setting up the website she was asking me to pass the email adresses to her every few days
Lilith Ivory: it?s more easy not to have to add a whole bunch at one time
Lilith Ivory: you can send them to me per email
Lilith Ivory: or inworl if you prefer
Lilith Ivory: inworld
RogueGeek Cooperstone: right, considering the max we have is 65 or so, and I'd be stunned if we got above 40
Aliasi Stonebender: No worries. Only got one so far. Well. Not counting me. :P
Lilith Ivory: hehhe
Tanoujin Milestone: ;)
Lilith Ivory: officially via NC?
Lilith Ivory: /me giggls
Lilith Ivory: you are good in hunting for email adresses ;-)
Tanoujin Milestone: excuse me, RL calling. Bye everyone
Sylvia Tamalyn: bye tan :)
Aliasi Stonebender: if that's all, I need to get going myself.
Soro Dagostino: Bye Tan.
Lilith Ivory: should we plan to have our next meeting at the weekend of june 17th /18th?
Soro Dagostino: Agreed.
RogueGeek Cooperstone: sounds right
Lilith Ivory: I?d be in favor to discuss the exact day and time later via email so Calli and Aria can give input too
Aliasi Stonebender: seems good
Lilith Ivory: ok, let?s just vote on the weekend 17/18 june so we get this done too
Soro Dagostino: Move approval of that date.
RogueGeek Cooperstone: second
Soro Dagostino: "Those dates"
Lilith Ivory: so vote
RogueGeek Cooperstone: Aye
Lilith Ivory: aye
Soro Dagostino: Aye.
Soro Dagostino: Move to adjourn.
Lilith Ivory: I call this meeting adjourned
Lilith Ivory: thank you all for coming here today

I now lay down the command of my legions and retire to private life. Marcus Licinius Crassus
