[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: thank you Zaphod
[2009/08/02 Naftali Torok: holy jmaie in a cloud , pray for us
[2009/08/02 zaphod Enoch: thank the honoured house
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: I apologize for being only half here, as I am dialing in from a business trip with questionable connectivity. All the same: I've been delighted to work with you this last year, believe we are fundamentally on the right course, and woud be honored to continue to be able to serve. We've had limited success with fixing land and commercial issues, though i expect more; tremendous success so ofar with events and the Al Andalus merger; good financial stability; and a lot of opportunity for relations with other micronations, where i've invested quite a bit of time this year. Maybe in light of the tetchy chat, I should take questions, instead of attempt a long speech?
[2009/08/02 Naftali Torok: i think he disappeard again
[2009/08/02 Naftali Torok: oeps
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: HOWEVER, no, Nafi, no praying to the spooky cloud

[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: Sonja?
[2009/08/02 Sonja Strom: I would like to ask the same question of you that I asked zaphod: How would you help to maintain continuity of the present high standards of CDS building and development?
[2009/08/02 Sonja Strom: In particular, I would like to have your view on the Neufreistadt Marktplatz.
[2009/08/02 Sonja Strom: thank you
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: sonja, really, we have the covenants, subject to a little maintenance and updating, so it is the enforcement

[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: but also, note, on the Platz, we have a "commercial" law, but its does not really narrow the permitted uses to retail. Sonja and I have discussed this, and personally I hope the RA will narrow the definition of "commercial" in this coming term. Done (TY)

2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: i still have some hopes for tat, but only for a limited number of lots ...
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: well, Nafi, what we settle son a year ago was a lowered-rent program with competitive bid
[2009/08/02 Naftali Torok: ok

[2009/08/02 Soro Dagostino: Yield
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: (If we don't have that chat before vote, let's have ot soon after, it's a good topic)
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: oh good, ok ...
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: Arria, our older system was sort of a opaque, you-must-know-someone system
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: that did not make anyone happy ...
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: we replaced that by law with two things, first a "open yellow map" sale
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: and second, the opportunity to create a better, managed system where prospective buyers can get into a fair queue
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: i would still like us to implement the latter ... which will require presenting a description of it to the RA
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: as the current system still seemd to result in a lot of reasonable expectations being thwarted
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: (or course, that's less a problem when we open up more land). TY

[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: those of us who have been here for a while know something about it, but a refresher is always good, and of course we ave many new citizens who need to know
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: no, go ahead sudane...
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: kk... hold on to rez a board
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: please use th equestion queue if you have questions. sudane, just say "questions?" and I'll queue up wheover's next
2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: ok...
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: Sudane, for us clouds, can the visuals also be posted later?
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: and can everyone see the board?
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: sure!
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: very similiar to last year
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: ok... budgeting for the upcoming budget period...
[2009/08/02 Arria Perreault: noooooo
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: Sept thru Feb
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: first step is to determine projected revenue
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: we take a conservative approach
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: that means
2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: that only numbers that we think we know... we use
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: the only experience we have is collecting tier on the 4 CDS sims
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: "formerly"
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: so,,,
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: as you can see, if you can see.
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: from Jan thru June we collected an average of US$1350/month
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: for NFS, CN, AM and LA
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: adding to that
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: we take the conservative assumption that the collections of the other 7 sims.
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: will be "break-even"
[2009/08/02 Chat Range: zaphod Enoch [18m]
[2009/08/02 Naftali Torok: hola Joaquim
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: so

[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: the total projected revenue... for the 11 sims...
[2009/08/02 Chat Range: Imotali Antiesse [19m]
[2009/08/02 Chat Range: Naftali Torok [11m]
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: is US$1930/month
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: hmmm... should I take questions on each step?
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: or wait to the end?
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: no currently queued quesionts
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: there are 4 steps
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: ok
[[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: next step... determine fixed expenses
[2009/08/02 Rose Springvale: sorry .. i think i gave joaquin a bad time
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: at this time... the only really *fixed* expenses are tier paid to Linden Lab
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: i've itemized those on the chart... if you can't see it, wait til; I post
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: but... tier will be US$1560/month
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: mind you... this is averaged out
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: the tier on the AA sims is not paid every month
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: but
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: we are budgeting on a monthly basis
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: so we translate everything to the month
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: now...
2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: 1560 (the expenses) is 81% of 1930 (the revenue)
2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: so we hav 19% for our discretionary expenses
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: next
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: Sudane, may i make two quick comments about that?
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: ok... i've nmade this step 3A... cause i believe that its important to plan for a reserve
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: ok... sure
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: first, that 19% is down from before the merger; but tats an acceptable change we took on as part of the merger transaction
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: (thats because of the breakeven projection)
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: second, we still have a pretty darn big reserve, so tat is a cushion against the month to month fluctuations as well ...
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: ... and the RAshould be conscious of the different between plans to spend from current income, versus the reserve. Done, thx
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: should i continmue?
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: please
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: ok... "why a reserve?"
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: I have outlined a number of points here
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: I won't try to re type them
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: simply... I feel its important to budget a reserve
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: kk... this proposes that a reserve be budgeted at 25% of available funds
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: using the numbers from before
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: this means $92 / month
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: 5% of total revenues
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: finally...
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: the remaining funds should be spent for operating expenses
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: this is projected by this budget to be US$278/month
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: or L$74,780/month
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: it is then up to the chancellor and RA to decide how that gets allocated... assuming this budget process outlined here meets with approval...
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: Jamie can explain that process
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: thats it!...
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: ty!
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: questions?
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: I see none queued up sudane
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: please continue
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: great
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: oh... thats it for me... i have no specific proposals on spending the 278
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: my concern is that we adapt these assumptions
[2009/08/02 Soro Dagostino: Am I in the list?
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: Maybe I shuld chime in that the the RA should expect projected expenses and proposals from me, within two meetings, all consistent (within) the numbers Sudane presented.

[2009/08/02 Soro Dagostino: The income from AA seems to be a lot less than the CDS "4"
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: yes... that's because we are assuming a revenue equal to breakeven
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: while for the CDS sims, we have real data
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: also
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: the AA sim cost a lot less... basically half
[2009/08/02 Chat Range: Jamie Palisades [17m], Junius Inaka [20m]
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: of what the old CDS sims do
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades nods -- a lot more public prims, Soro, less rentable land proportionately
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: because they are under a non profit status
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: and LL charges less for them

[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: yes, we could..
[2009/08/02 zaphod Enoch: what is the difference to be in a non profit status than in default status
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: the difference is that the sim's tier is one half for the non profits than it is for the normal
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: pretty significant
[2009/08/02 zaphod Enoch: what is to be done to get in this status

[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: ok, we're pretty much back on schedule.
[2009/08/02 Arria Perreault: Hi Gwyn
[2009/08/02 Naftali Torok: efgaristo Sudane
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: next item is concerns of RA members...
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato:
[2009/08/02 Naftali Torok: wow gwyn
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: Carolyn, you brougt up the status board earlier, would you like to reiterate and continue?
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: order please!
[2009/08/02 Carolyn Saarinen: Certainly..
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: Gwyn, we're in the middle of a meeting. please touch the recorder
[2009/08/02 Gwyneth Llewelyn: Sure
[2009/08/02 Carolyn Saarinen: Apologese for jumping in too soon earlier.
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: no problem! we're all getting adjusted...
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: the floor is yours now
[2009/08/02 Carolyn Saarinen: Here's an example I found on XSL
https://uncensored.xstreetsl.com/module ... mID=685336
It is pretty cheap and has Away and Busy options as well as just Online/Offline
[2009/08/02 Gwyneth Llewelyn likes that!
[2009/08/02 Carolyn Saarinen: Also, as a closely related matter, I think it would be helpful to clarify what admin permissions RA members have. What problems are we able to resolve for citizens? Are there issues that should be refered to specifically skilled persons?
[2009/08/02 Micael Khandr: I think it is a very good idea, but should be left to each indiovidual rep to decide to do.
[2009/08/02 Question Queue V 1.1: ************************************************
[2009/08/02 Question Queue V 1.1: Claude Desmoulins has a question
[2009/08/02 Question Queue V 1.1: ************************************************
[2009/08/02 Robert Galland: I agree
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: Jamie, would you like to speak briefly to the issue of permissions>
[2009/08/02 Arria Perreault: I agree with Micael
[2009/08/02 Pip Torok agrees
[2009/08/02 Chat Range: zaphod Enoch [18m]
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: Regarding the status borad, Carolyn could you get a detailed notecard on this particular one and pass it around to RA members for review?
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: Perms. Got it. A good job probably would require some detail, so I will undertake to make a posting ... however, we've never been set up to have all legislators have advanced asset control or land powers by reason of office. nor do I suspect that's what anyone woud want
[2009/08/02 Soro Dagostino: Post it in the forums?
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: we can also discuss this in the forum, and if it seems like a good idea to all, we can work with jamie to set somethign up
[2009/08/02 Carolyn Saarinen: can do, I'll contact the creator .
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: ty soro, yes
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: and since Jamie is clearly having lag problems today, perhaps he can give us an update on what he's been working on vis a vis permissions at the next meeting
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: I will work with him on that.
[2009/08/02 Question Queue V 1.1: Next in queue: Claude Desmoulins
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: claude?

[Cindy Ecksol]

(continued)

[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: is that a citizen concern or a question on current discussion?
[2009/08/02 Claude Desmoulins: Just going to mention thet Chilbo has such a thing. Don't know where they got it.
[2009/08/02 Rose Springvale believes Senator Llewellyn has one also....
[2009/08/02 Claude Desmoulins: I'll ask Fleep.
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: Caro, would you like to go track that one down too? seems like a good idea to see what's out there...ah, and gwyn's too!
[2009/08/02 Gwyneth Llewelyn smiles @ Rose — possibly...
[2009/08/02 Carolyn Saarinen: Will do
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: Cindy, as lomg as Claude is here, may I mention that the RA ought to have an archivist, to assist with making sure that bils & such get posted & updated?
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: lots of options...I leave it to you to brief us on the forum
[2009/08/02 Sudane Erato: i think there are freebies
[2009/08/02 Claude Desmoulins: So you are Senators now finished.
[2009/08/02 Gwyneth Llewelyn *nods* @ Sudane
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: I think so...
[2009/08/02 Gwyneth Llewelyn: lol Claude
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: claude, do you have a citizen concern?
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: you are next up...
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: all right, any other questions
[2009/08/02 Claude Desmoulins: I was addressing the online /offline status system. I would add since I have the floor that there was an old Archivist description but I don't know what happened to it. As dean, i hope the RA puts an archivist in place soon, as the sometimes slow posting of passed bills complicated the SC's review role.
[2009/08/02 Claude Desmoulins: finished
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: ok, good thought. on my ist
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: actually on my list to talk over with Jamie since that is an Exec function
[2009/08/02 Gwyneth Llewelyn: Hiring, yes...
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: actually i think the LRA appinted the archivist
[2009/08/02 Cindy Ecksol: announcements?
[2009/08/02 Jamie Palisades: but either way we need one
