[Moon Adamant]

[11:38] You: well, let's start
[11:38] Sonja Strom: ty, snow crash
[11:39] Sudane Erato: thats one of the probs... the only way I know a parcel is sold is to go look
[11:39] You: please bear in mind that this meeting is transcripted
[11:39] You: and please look into the blue cube for agenda
[11:39] You: while you do that
[11:39] You: let me see where i put the proposed regulations for Villa of Pines
[11:41] You: ok
[11:42] You: 1. Oktoberfest
[11:42] You: i must say that the Guild has not been requested to do anything for Oktoberfest
[11:42] You: as far as i know
[11:42] Sudane Erato: good
[11:43] You: only we have lent the Villa of Pines to Cindy for her to work on stuff for it in there
[11:43] You: last meeting we didn't decide if the Guild would do a float or not
[11:43] Sudane Erato: does VOP have enough prims?
[11:43] You: i would like to hear your opinion
[11:43] You: yes, 600 prims or so
[11:44] Sudane Erato: well... i think we all are swamped with things to do
[11:44] Sudane Erato: so a float would be even more
[11:44] Sudane Erato: .
[11:44] Naftali Torok: i spoketo cindy last night
[11:44] You: yes, i am not sure myself if i have time to do a Guild Float till the 20th
[11:44] Naftali Torok: she is very bussy with the float and carts and stuff
[11:45] You: let's compromise on this
[11:45] You: if we have time, we'll do a float
[11:45] You: if not, next year, with more ttime
[11:45] Sudane Erato: kk
[11:46] You: ok
[11:46] You: 2. CDS Information Centre WG.
[11:46] You: i have no report from this wg
[11:46] Justice Soothsayer: who is on that one, Moon?
[11:46] You: as cindy heads it, i suppose it must be temporarily stopped as she prepares stuff for Oktoberfest
[11:47] You: Cindy, myself, Brian, aLEX, rOSE
[11:47] You: oops, sorry
[11:47] You: last decision that was made was
[11:47] You: immediately before the elections
[11:47] You: to arrange for a weekly meeting
[11:48] You: unfortunately
[11:48] You: the new sunday schedule did away with the slot for the wg
[11:48] You: and we haven't organized ourselves since
[11:48] Naftali Torok: ahum wg?
[11:48] You: InfoCentre WG
[11:48] Naftali Torok: so rry
[11:48] Naftali Torok: i see
[11:49] Naftali Torok: on the other sim
[11:49] You: no no
[11:49] You: this infocentre is a device that will be installed in all sims
[11:49] Naftali Torok: now i understand thajnks
[11:49] Sudane Erato: ahh... a device... not a place
[11:49] You: and wherever the CDS needs to make a representation (except Anzere)
[11:50] Naftali Torok: yes i was thinking about anzere indeed , but i see
[11:50] You: yes, it will link directly to our portal, to calendar, will have spaces for adds, etc
[11:50] Naftali Torok: great
[11:50] Sudane Erato: sounds neat
[11:51] You: this has been dragging on for a bit, we know
[11:51] You: but we seem to have difficulty in getting together
[11:51] You: ok
[11:51] Sudane Erato: hehe... like getting a new sim
[11:51] You: 3. Roman Textures WG
[11:51] You: again, my mea culpa
[11:52] You: been so busy i didn't do a thing for this this week
[11:52] You: in any case, i must say that from walking around in LA
[11:52] You: my textures are hardly needed at all
[11:52] You: i am liking what i see built in there
[11:52] Sudane Erato: it would be nice to have them tho
[11:52] You: i will try dear
[11:52] Sudane Erato: more variety
[11:53] Sudane Erato: but they can always be retrofit
[11:53] You: yes, of course
[11:53] You: that's my idea
[11:53] You: 4. Governmental Spaces Re-organization WG.
[11:53] You: Brian has been illish
[11:53] You: he chairs this group
[11:53] Sudane Erato:
[11:53] Naftali Torok: poor
[11:54] You: so i don't have anything new to report in this as well
[11:54] You: hopefully, we will be able to present a report in a couple of weeks, but that depends on Brian's time a lot

[11:59] Naftali Torok: sounds like reasonable rukles
[11:59] Sudane Erato: yes
[11:59] Jon Seattle:
[12:00] You: the aim of these rules is of course that everyone has a fair chance at using the space
[12:00] Naftali Torok: ok
[12:00] You: i would like to call the motion to approve these rules as stated
[12:00] Sonja Strom: I have a question.
[12:00] You: anyone seconds
[12:00] You: yes?
[12:01] Jon Seattle: (seconds as soon as Sonja finishes..)
[12:01] Sonja Strom: Why is the group for that use the New Guild Resources group, and not the CDS group?
[12:01] You: because we do have more control over the Guild Resources group
[12:01] Jon Seattle: Ah, because Guild is an independant organization also.
[12:01] You: if we used the CDS group
[12:02] You: any citizen could go and build there independtly of our rules about the use of the space
[12:02] You: now, since any citizen can also join the Guild
[12:02] Sudane Erato: many members of CDS group are not citizens
[12:02] Sonja Strom: OK, I can understand that.
[12:02] You: we can do this in a more organized way like this
[12:02] You: ok
[12:02] Sonja Strom: Is the New Guild paying for that land?
[12:03] You: No, Jon is generously offering the tier for the moment
[12:03] Jon Seattle: I am donating the cost and tier to the New Guild.
[12:03] Sonja Strom: OK, thank you Jon for that.
[12:03] Naftali Torok: all seems reasonable to me
[12:03] Jon Seattle: So, effectivley yes NG
[12:03] Jon Seattle: very welecome
