[11:04] You: 4th point:
[11:04] You: NG finances
[11:04] You: Brian has created a blog for discussing and putting forward a financial plan for the Guild
[11:05] You: link is:
[11:05] You: http://ngfinance.blogspot.com/2008/01/f ... ogram.html
[11:05] You: i believe that if you want to comment into this, you may have to be registered in. Please call Brian for that.
[11:05] Rose Springvale: moon, last fall i met with pat and sudane and we discussed doing a CDS logo
[11:05] You: ok
[11:05] Rose Springvale: for builders that had met quality standards?
[11:05] You: yes
[11:06] Rose Springvale: sort of kick starting the Chamber of Commerce idea
[11:06] You: and in fact, last meeting we decide to launch a logo contest
[11:06] You: decided*
[11:06] Rose Springvale: maybe that could be worked into this program too..
[11:06] Rose Springvale: but that is different
[11:06] Rose Springvale: than a decal for contributing
[11:06] You: ah ok
[11:06] You: yes, you're right
[11:06] You: one thing is the Guild logo
[11:06] You: and another a CDS logo
[11:06] Rose Springvale: directly related to quality... so maybe the Guild could institute a Certification prcesse?
[11:07] You: eeek
[11:07] Sudane Erato: hehe
[11:07] You: we certainly can
[11:07] You: but we will need to look very deeply into that
[11:07] You: so... another committee
[11:07] Rose Springvale: one i can't sit on
[11:07] Rose Springvale: maybe
[11:08] Rose Springvale: the faculty should handle it!
[11:08] Jon Seattle: yes, a good idea, though it is part of the facuty's mandate
[11:08] You: now really, we need a committee to think on that
[11:08] You: possibly, i'll mail Arria on that
[11:08] Rose Springvale: because they are already doing certification. lets move it to arrias agenda!
[11:09] You: there may be some part of the discussion that may pertain to the board, mind - all that relates to the admin bits of the certification process
[11:09] Rose Springvale: so is there a contest underway for the decal?
[11:09] You: but i'll talk with Arria first of all on that
[11:09] You: well, it's not exactly underway lol
[11:09] You: i have to announce it, but i think we need to prepare the rules first
[11:10] You: since it is the first way the Guild makes a contest
[11:10] Bjerkel Eerie: where do I learn more on this whole certification process?
[11:10] You: ehehe Bjerkel, we will be making it up as we go along
[11:10] You: but please talk to Arria Perrault, who is the Faculty Chair
[11:11] You: so i think i'll do this about teh rules
[11:11] You: i'll think on a draft, and post it for consideration on teh forums
[11:11] You: next week, we'll launch the contest after you've added your corrections and comments
[11:12] Moon Adamant looks at her notes
[11:12] You: ah yes
[11:12] You: last point: Masterplan
[11:12] You: i will have to look a bit closer to the RA Act that made the last Masterplan comission
[11:13] You: because i am not sure atm if the RA has to create a commission or if they can dump it on us directly
[11:13] You: can't remember the discussion back then
[11:14] You: and of course, in any case, the discussion back then didn't have the Guild as a factor
[11:14] You: so we will adjourn this point till next week, hopefully i'll have more info on that then
[11:14] You: so... i am left with asking if Any Other Business?
[11:14] Sudane Erato: none from me
[11:15] Rose Springvale: query re finances
[11:15] Jon Seattle: nope
[11:15] You: ok Rose
[11:15] Delia Lake: is there a target timeframe for Altenberg?
[11:15] Rose Springvale: do we need contributions to make tier?
[11:15] You: Rose: atm, not yet
[11:15] Rose Springvale: okay, thanks
[11:15] You: we are able to meet next 2-3 months
[11:15] You: Delia: i'd like to have Altenstadt redeveloped untill midspring
[11:16] You: because we don't really need much work in it
[11:16] Rose Springvale: by or until?
[11:16] Bjerkel Eerie: altenburg?? sorry I am new to teh discussion
[11:16] Sudane Erato: by
[11:16] You: untill
[11:16] You: lol
[11:16] Rose Springvale: lol
[11:16] You: what i mean is
[11:16] Rose Springvale: before spring?
[11:16] You: according to Sleazy's plan
[11:16] Delia Lake: ok. i do have an interest in it because it is almost the side and back yard of my townhouse
[11:16] You: we only need to make a pond and a dockway
[11:16] You: and teh street, of course
[11:16] Delia Lake: i would volunteer to make the pond
[11:17] You: the rest is private development
[11:17] You: thanks Delia
[11:17] Rose Springvale: cool, i'll get fish
[11:17] Sudane Erato: hehe
[11:17] Delia Lake: BJ, you want to help with a waterfall and pond?
[11:17] Bjerkel Eerie: love too delia
[11:17] Delia Lake: my fish will be much happier then
[11:17] You: so, there is no reason that it won't be able to be done by some time in teh spring
[11:17] Delia Lake: sooner
[11:17] Rose Springvale: smile
[11:17] You: ehehe yes, possibly sooner
[11:18] Rose Springvale: they are fast. I'd love to come watch you girls
[11:18] You: but i like to give comfy schedules
