[2011/12/18 08:09] Tor Karlsvalt: OH Sudane, Anna needs the RA Tag or the CDS Govt tag
[2011/12/18 08:09] Shep (shep.titian): Correct
[2011/12/18 08:09] Shep (shep.titian): I have no information btw
[2011/12/18 08:09] Pat (patroklus.murakami): we could just change the NG charter so one of us can be :-) *not* a serious suggestion!
[2011/12/18 08:09] Trebor Warcliffe: Information pertaining to what?
[2011/12/18 08:09] Sudane Erato: i agree w Pat
[2011/12/18 08:09] Tor Karlsvalt: me too really
[2011/12/18 08:10] Sudane Erato: but.... *seriously*
[2011/12/18 08:10] Shep (shep.titian): Well I expect you're waiting for Ceasar?
[2011/12/18 08:10] Trebor Warcliffe: I havent spoken to Ceasar in about a week or so
[2011/12/18 08:10] Tor Karlsvalt: We just tie ourselves up in knots with all the exclusions
[2011/12/18 08:10] Sudane Erato: exactly
[2011/12/18 08:10] Shep (shep.titian): Me neither
[2011/12/18 08:10] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes that is truye
[2011/12/18 08:10] Trebor Warcliffe: true
[2011/12/18 08:11] Pat (patroklus.murakami): we should have let rosie be NG sec when she was chosen. would have saved a lot of unnecessary trouble
[2011/12/18 08:11] Trebor Warcliffe: Agree
[2011/12/18 08:11] Sudane Erato: i totally agree
[2011/12/18 08:11] Tor Karlsvalt: me too, considering she had already done a lot in the very short time she was secretary
[2011/12/18 08:11] Trebor Warcliffe: So what would be the procedures
[2011/12/18 08:12] Trebor Warcliffe: and legal reprucussions if any?
[2011/12/18 08:12] Sudane Erato: ammend the constitution... its the CDS "way"
[2011/12/18 08:12] Trebor Warcliffe: I know I can be on the Faculty
[2011/12/18 08:12] Pat (patroklus.murakami): no need sudane. just amend the NG charter
[2011/12/18 08:12] Trebor Warcliffe: but I dont have a vote
[2011/12/18 08:12] Pat (patroklus.murakami): but, first of all, does anyone want to be NG sec?
[2011/12/18 08:12] Sudane Erato: ahh... ok
[2011/12/18 08:12] Trebor Warcliffe: The last talk I had with Ceasar last weekend
[2011/12/18 08:12] Tor Karlsvalt: now there is a difference from the board and this meeting I think
[2011/12/18 08:12] Sudane Erato: what's the procedure for that?
[2011/12/18 08:13] Tor Karlsvalt: /rumages forthe charter
[2011/12/18 08:13] Trebor Warcliffe: Ill wait while Tor gets his info together.
[2011/12/18 08:13] Pat (patroklus.murakami): with no sec or chair, the NG is effectivey defunct. so i think we can reconstitute it any way we please :-) within reason, of course!
[2011/12/18 08:14] Sudane Erato: hehe...
[2011/12/18 08:14] Trebor Warcliffe: That may very well be true Pat
[2011/12/18 08:14] Trebor Warcliffe: Also
[2011/12/18 08:14] Shep (shep.titian): I agree with Pat
[2011/12/18 08:14] Sudane Erato: and "reason" means... ?
[2011/12/18 08:14] Trebor Warcliffe: In that situation I would certainly withdraw my veto
[2011/12/18 08:14] Trebor Warcliffe: because my whole reason for the veto
[2011/12/18 08:15] Pat (patroklus.murakami): reason = in a way which does not cause unnecessary drama and mad hissy fits
[2011/12/18 08:15] Trebor Warcliffe: was to give the NG time to get back on its feet
[2011/12/18 08:15] Sudane Erato: lol... perfect definition :)
[2011/12/18 08:15] Pat (patroklus.murakami): btw, is someone keeping a record of our proceedings to post later?
[2011/12/18 08:16] Tor Karlsvalt: the charter is at http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php? ... 875#p11297
[2011/12/18 08:16] Pat (patroklus.murakami): tu tor
[2011/12/18 08:16] Trebor Warcliffe: I can keep my chat log but other than that I dont have an official recorder
[2011/12/18 08:16] Pat (patroklus.murakami): i'm happy for all of my chat to be recorded and posted
[2011/12/18 08:16] Trebor Warcliffe: me too
[2011/12/18 08:16] Tor Karlsvalt: me too
[2011/12/18 08:16] Shep (shep.titian): Sorry I have to go let someone onto my parcel .. but I'll be back
[2011/12/18 08:17] Tor Karlsvalt: hmm
[2011/12/18 08:17] Pat (patroklus.murakami): is there a NG faculty any more?
[2011/12/18 08:17] Tor Karlsvalt: no
[2011/12/18 08:17] Trebor Warcliffe: Dont think there ever was one
[2011/12/18 08:17] Trebor Warcliffe: It was a wonderful idea that didnt seem to take off
[2011/12/18 08:17] Tor Karlsvalt: Ceasar had mentioned he wated to start it again.
[2011/12/18 08:17] Sudane Erato: Jon was faculty
[2011/12/18 08:18] Tor Karlsvalt: I think you need someone who likes to teach.
[2011/12/18 08:18] Tor Karlsvalt: and has the time
[2011/12/18 08:19] Trebor Warcliffe: Beathan mentions occasionally about educational stuff
[2011/12/18 08:19] Trebor Warcliffe: I wonder if he'd be interested or if he knows some
[2011/12/18 08:19] Pat (patroklus.murakami): so, we could just delete item 22 of section 3 The Board and then choose a NG sec :-) dont' recall if anyone volunteered tho!
[2011/12/18 08:20] Sudane Erato: well... if it was legal
[2011/12/18 08:20] Sudane Erato: maybe Rosie would reconsider
[2011/12/18 08:20] Tor Karlsvalt: btw, I don't see where the chancellor cannot vote on the board.
[2011/12/18 08:21] Trebor Warcliffe: If i remember correctly the main argument of an RA member not being NG sec was the conflict of interest argument
[2011/12/18 08:21] Trebor Warcliffe: SO
[2011/12/18 08:21] Trebor Warcliffe: If we have it set up where an RA member serving a dual role
[2011/12/18 08:21] Trebor Warcliffe: of RA and NG Sec
[2011/12/18 08:22] Pat (patroklus.murakami): Pat wonders if we really *need* the NG...
[2011/12/18 08:22] Sudane Erato: :)
[2011/12/18 08:22] Trebor Warcliffe: Just have it where they can't vote on the RA in regards to NG matters
[2011/12/18 08:22] Trebor Warcliffe: Pat I do feel we need the NG
[2011/12/18 08:23] Trebor Warcliffe: Maybe just not as complex as it is now
[2011/12/18 08:23] Tor Karlsvalt: I don't think it is a bad organization. It does offer the possibility of more regular citizen input.
[2011/12/18 08:23] Tor Karlsvalt: I see pat's point too tho
[2011/12/18 08:23] Pat (patroklus.murakami): it's not as bad as the old guild - a corporatist, guild socialist, syndicalist abomination
[2011/12/18 08:24] Trebor Warcliffe: And there has been rumblngs within the community that "some people" want to dismantle the NG. Personally I dont want to see it go to the wayside but I am disappointed that if people do want it that no one is hear besides us.
[2011/12/18 08:24] Sudane Erato: lol Pat :)
[2011/12/18 08:24] Pat (patroklus.murakami): but it is a bit odd to organise everyone in the NG. what's wrong with independent groups of citizens doing stuff?
[2011/12/18 08:24] Shep (shep.titian): I think the NG is good for people to share their opinions in a kless formal way
[2011/12/18 08:25] Trebor Warcliffe: Shep that may be true but as Pat points out that can be taken care of with independent groups also
[2011/12/18 08:25] Trebor Warcliffe: For me I think its more of a traditional thing
[2011/12/18 08:25] Trebor Warcliffe: I like the premise of the NG
[2011/12/18 08:25] Tor Karlsvalt: It does offer some organization and transparency.
[2011/12/18 08:25] Trebor Warcliffe: yes
[2011/12/18 08:25] Sudane Erato: sure, if people participate
[2011/12/18 08:25] Trebor Warcliffe: anything the NG does, has to go through the RA
[2011/12/18 08:25] Trebor Warcliffe: Agree Sudane
[2011/12/18 08:26] Tor Karlsvalt: I I like the teaching aspect of it most of all. It would be nice to have friends or fellow residents who like to teach building.
[2011/12/18 08:26] Trebor Warcliffe: But if they're not going to participate in teh NG whats to say they will in a citizen committee?
[2011/12/18 08:26] Shep (shep.titian): Hmm good luck with those groups .. you will find you need to include new citizens from the word go .. or they will be lost in terms of helping
[2011/12/18 08:26] Tor Karlsvalt: Well true shep
[2011/12/18 08:27] Tor Karlsvalt: but people have a responsibility to show up too.
[2011/12/18 08:27] Trebor Warcliffe: I agree Shep but its not like you can lead them by the hand and bring them to the trough
[2011/12/18 08:27] Pat (patroklus.murakami): in order to get something done, i think we should try to reconstitute the NG. or else, shoudl we go for a new sim, it may take us even longer
[2011/12/18 08:27] Tor Karlsvalt: if they don't show up we can't include them too easily.
[2011/12/18 08:27] Shep (shep.titian): * years of fundraising .. where only the usual suspects would help lol
[2011/12/18 08:27] Tor Karlsvalt: yyup
[2011/12/18 08:27] Trebor Warcliffe: I would rather see us reconstitute the NG than dismantle it
[2011/12/18 08:28] Tor Karlsvalt: we need to brouden the group of usual suspects.
[2011/12/18 08:28] Tor Karlsvalt: haha
[2011/12/18 08:28] Trebor Warcliffe: So going on that basis what do we have to do?
[2011/12/18 08:28] Shep (shep.titian): We do indeed lol
[2011/12/18 08:28] Trebor Warcliffe: And what is the proper procedure?
[2011/12/18 08:28] Shep (shep.titian): The wars have to stop to do that well
[2011/12/18 08:29] Trebor Warcliffe: were gettignoff topic here
[2011/12/18 08:29] Shep (shep.titian): Not really Trebor
[2011/12/18 08:29] Pat (patroklus.murakami): i suggest we strike out para 22 from section 3 on 'The board' and then invite nominations for NG Sec. they can be chosen at a future meeting
[2011/12/18 08:29] Shep (shep.titian): They underly everything
[2011/12/18 08:29] Trebor Warcliffe: So you're suggestign just a minor tweaking of the Charter Pat?
[2011/12/18 08:30] Pat (patroklus.murakami): our rationale can be that, in a small community, these conflict of interest concerns are restricitng our ability to operate
[2011/12/18 08:30] Tor Karlsvalt: I agree
[2011/12/18 08:30] Pat (patroklus.murakami): it's quite a big tweak but yes!
[2011/12/18 08:30] Sudane Erato: i agree
[2011/12/18 08:30] Tor Karlsvalt: we have a lot of talent locked up in the RA and SC
[2011/12/18 08:30] Trebor Warcliffe: I was thinking of a remodel of hte Charter and eliminate al lot of the unneccasary stuff
[2011/12/18 08:30] Trebor Warcliffe: yes we do Tor
[2011/12/18 08:30] Tor Karlsvalt: we can do that later
[2011/12/18 08:30] Sudane Erato: well... there could be talent elsewhere too... but they have to raise their hands!
[2011/12/18 08:30] Pat (patroklus.murakami): we should definitely do that too trebor, perhaps in slower time?
[2011/12/18 08:31] Trebor Warcliffe: and considering that only about 25% of the population are active on a regular basis we do need to loosen up on who can help
[2011/12/18 08:31] Shep (shep.titian): Ed is very keen to offer some help .. but does'nt feel he has the time to more involved
[2011/12/18 08:31] Tor Karlsvalt: i agree Sudane, but if we had a working guild with more meetings, mabye othes would be encouraged
[2011/12/18 08:31] Sudane Erato: true too
[2011/12/18 08:31] Tor Karlsvalt: I was talking to Lef Leven also. He said much the same thing, but has made some drawing of LA.
[2011/12/18 08:31] Trebor Warcliffe: Ed is a very helpful person. He assisted me with my latest build ruling
[2011/12/18 08:32] Tor Karlsvalt: No meetings = less opportunity for involvement
[2011/12/18 08:32] Shep (shep.titian): It looks so much better
[2011/12/18 08:32] Trebor Warcliffe: Ok so if we remove the part of the charter that Pat is referrign to. How do we do it and who does it?
[2011/12/18 08:33] Shep (shep.titian): Is there a less formal place to have the first meetings?
[2011/12/18 08:33] Tor Karlsvalt: we do it, but the RA needs to aprove it.
[2011/12/18 08:33] Trebor Warcliffe: And the RA has the authority to do that in which capacity?
[2011/12/18 08:33] Pat (patroklus.murakami): we can do it as 'The Board' currently constituted. the previous charter was approved by the RA so I suppose we could do that too
[2011/12/18 08:34] Trebor Warcliffe: Im not arguing I just want to be clear on everything because as Chancellor somone sooner or later is goign to be asking me questions lol
[2011/12/18 08:34] Pat (patroklus.murakami): personally, i think the RA has no business 'ratifying' the charters of non-governmental groups but.... that's just me!
[2011/12/18 08:34] Tor Karlsvalt: hmmm, good point Pat
[2011/12/18 08:35] Trebor Warcliffe: Pat thats exactly what I was referring to
[2011/12/18 08:35] Tor Karlsvalt: What was the justification for the Charter being submitted to RA?
[2011/12/18 08:35] Pat (patroklus.murakami): i think the justification was that, since the NG would carry out work on behalf of the RA, it *ought* to have the RA seal of approval
[2011/12/18 08:35] Pat (patroklus.murakami): this is way back when jon and moon reconstituted the New Guild
[2011/12/18 08:36] Shep (shep.titian): How much is NG allowed to do without RA permission?
[2011/12/18 08:36] Pat (patroklus.murakami): so the NG is a kind of 'chartered' NGO
[2011/12/18 08:36] Trebor Warcliffe: I see it as an NGO with government approval, yes
[2011/12/18 08:36] Tor Karlsvalt: we would have to change the definition of the guild. It says it is a a public chartered NGO
[2011/12/18 08:36] Pat (patroklus.murakami): NG can plan and discuss and propose. but can't make changes to infrastructure without RA say-so
[2011/12/18 08:37] Tor Karlsvalt: That is the way I see it.
[2011/12/18 08:37] Sudane Erato: well, in RL, governemnts do "register" organizations, even tho they are non-governmental
[2011/12/18 08:37] Tor Karlsvalt: sort of a technical college to advise the RA
[2011/12/18 08:37] Shep (shep.titian): Surely they just need to work out what needs doing .. plan it cost it .. then submit it for rubber stamping
[2011/12/18 08:37] Trebor Warcliffe: Can we as citizens with no Secretary of the Board change this part of the charter by just showing up?
[2011/12/18 08:38] Pat (patroklus.murakami): yes shep, but the RA makes the decisions. it can tell the NG to change the plans in some way.
[2011/12/18 08:38] Trebor Warcliffe: After all one just needs to show up at a NG meeting to be eligible to vote.
[2011/12/18 08:38] Shep (shep.titian): Yes as in life
[2011/12/18 08:38] Pat (patroklus.murakami): to increase the amount of lots, or change public space or do some kind of public building
[2011/12/18 08:38] Pat (patroklus.murakami): i don't see why not trebor
[2011/12/18 08:39] Trebor Warcliffe: Thats what Im thinking
[2011/12/18 08:39] Shep (shep.titian): Yes but we RA are only needed at the end of the process
[2011/12/18 08:39] Tor Karlsvalt: To me it is like our Government Accountabilty Office
[2011/12/18 08:39] Tor Karlsvalt: Sort of an advisory and fact finding organization for congress
[2011/12/18 08:40] Shep (shep.titian): Don;t think we have one of those lol
[2011/12/18 08:40] Pat (patroklus.murakami): when it works well, the RA and NG keep in touch alll the way along. you need clear communication so the NG knows what the RA wants and the RA understands what is/isn't possible/deliverable
[2011/12/18 08:40] Trebor Warcliffe: We are five concerned citizens who see the need for an edit to be made to the NG charter in order to open
[2011/12/18 08:41] Shep (shep.titian): You could scrap the NG .. and start a whole new group
[2011/12/18 08:41] Shep (shep.titian): The New New Guild
[2011/12/18 08:41] Pat (patroklus.murakami): the New New Guild?
[2011/12/18 08:41] Tor Karlsvalt: yeah, that is a possibility.
[2011/12/18 08:41] Pat (patroklus.murakami): snap!
[2011/12/18 08:41] Trebor Warcliffe: I dont like that idea and I think we've agreed we dont need to go to that extreme
[2011/12/18 08:41] Trebor Warcliffe: sorry
[2011/12/18 08:41] Sudane Erato: NNG :)
[2011/12/18 08:41] Tor Karlsvalt: New2 Guild

[2011/12/18 08:44] Pat (patroklus.murakami): indeed! citizen smith, i remember it well
[2011/12/18 08:44] Shep (shep.titian): Yes!!!! lol
[2011/12/18 08:44] Trebor Warcliffe: So what can we get accomplished here today folks?
[2011/12/18 08:45] Shep (shep.titian): Sorry . Brits took over :)
[2011/12/18 08:45] Trebor Warcliffe: its ok
[2011/12/18 08:45] Pat (patroklus.murakami): i move that we, acting as the Board of the New Guild, amend the charter to delete para 22 of seciton 3 (The Board) and invite nominations for NG Secretary
[2011/12/18 08:45] Trebor Warcliffe: let me go read it
[2011/12/18 08:45] Sudane Erato: well... i vote that we keep the NG, cause Jon and Moon and also Symo did a huge amount to create it and set its traditions
[2011/12/18 08:46] Sudane Erato: could you give us the link again?
[2011/12/18 08:46] Tor Karlsvalt: I think so also.
[2011/12/18 08:46] Tor Karlsvalt: tradition is important.
[2011/12/18 08:46] Trebor Warcliffe: We're going to remove all those restrictions Pat?
[2011/12/18 08:46] Tor Karlsvalt: http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php? ... 875#p11297
[2011/12/18 08:46] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes we have to keep some of our past with us.
[2011/12/18 08:47] Tor Karlsvalt: There is a lot of legitimacy in tradition also.
[2011/12/18 08:47] Pat (patroklus.murakami): that is what i have proposed. i don't think they make sense any more. if there's a conflcit of interest issue let's handle it
[2011/12/18 08:47] Sudane Erato: i agree completely with Pat's proposal
[2011/12/18 08:47] Trebor Warcliffe: Im leaning that way to
[2011/12/18 08:47] Tor Karlsvalt: yes, but really we make too much of the confict of interest stuff
[2011/12/18 08:47] Sudane Erato: second :)
[2011/12/18 08:48] Tor Karlsvalt: nobody is getting rich off the CDS.
[2011/12/18 08:48] Trebor Warcliffe: no
[2011/12/18 08:48] Sudane Erato: lol :)
[2011/12/18 08:48] Sudane Erato: all those high paid stipend receivers are!
[2011/12/18 08:48] Tor Karlsvalt: and we need to move forward and not get all tangled in rules.
[2011/12/18 08:48] Tor Karlsvalt: haha
[2011/12/18 08:48] Trebor Warcliffe: And we need to encourage participation not restrict it
[2011/12/18 08:48] Pat (patroklus.murakami): :) @ sudane
[2011/12/18 08:48] Tor Karlsvalt: well, I need a new sweater, but my stipend got cut.
[2011/12/18 08:49] Sudane Erato: hehe

[2011/12/18 08:49] Trebor Warcliffe: Ok Pat so if we do this today who is goign to make it an official announcement
[2011/12/18 08:49] Trebor Warcliffe: I nominate you LOL

[2011/12/18 08:50] Pat (patroklus.murakami): haha!
[2011/12/18 08:50] Sudane Erato: I'd be happy to announce it
[2011/12/18 08:50] Trebor Warcliffe: I figure I've pissed off enough people in the 18 days Ive been Chancellor
[2011/12/18 08:50] Shep (shep.titian): One question
[2011/12/18 08:50] Tor Karlsvalt: :)
[2011/12/18 08:50] Sudane Erato: get you all off the hook
[2011/12/18 08:50] Trebor Warcliffe: Yes Shep?
[2011/12/18 08:50] Shep (shep.titian): I read that ver quicky .. it mentions tuition
[2011/12/18 08:51] Sudane Erato: the school part, yes
[2011/12/18 08:51] Trebor Warcliffe: Dont think youre reading the right one
[2011/12/18 08:51] Shep (shep.titian): s one of the remits
[2011/12/18 08:51] Trebor Warcliffe: Hold on Ill copy adn paste for you
[2011/12/18 08:51] Shep (shep.titian): No its ok
[2011/12/18 08:51] Trebor Warcliffe: 22.The following citizens can not be Secretary of the Board:
* The Chair of the NG Faculty
* The Chancellor of the CDS, and all members of the Executive Branch
* The Members of the RA
* .The Chairs of the SC.
[2011/12/18 08:51] Shep (shep.titian): IJst wondered about the requirement for teaching
[2011/12/18 08:52] Trebor Warcliffe: ok sorry
[2011/12/18 08:52] Shep (shep.titian): I've seen no evidence of any
[2011/12/18 08:52] Tor Karlsvalt: that is the faculty
[2011/12/18 08:52] Pat (patroklus.murakami): i thnk that's faculty. and the faculty is not working yet
[2011/12/18 08:52] Sudane Erato: the Faculty/School part of the NG has always been considered a separate program
[2011/12/18 08:52] Trebor Warcliffe: The way I feel if someone is knowledabke I welcome them to teach some classes
[2011/12/18 08:52] Pat (patroklus.murakami): would be very nice to have it work tho
[2011/12/18 08:52] Shep (shep.titian): Then it needs to be addressed
[2011/12/18 08:52] Trebor Warcliffe: and will do alll I can to make it happen
[2011/12/18 08:52] Sudane Erato: and hardly ever implemented
[2011/12/18 08:52] Tor Karlsvalt: yes, I agree
[2011/12/18 08:53] Trebor Warcliffe: So Shep if you know some interested people bring them in and lets sit down with them
[2011/12/18 08:53] Trebor Warcliffe: not right this second but you understand what Im saying
[2011/12/18 08:53] Sudane Erato: that would be great!
[2011/12/18 08:53] Tor Karlsvalt: mabye we could look into some connectin with NCI or Builder's Brewery.
[2011/12/18 08:53] Shep (shep.titian): You are all saying keep NG and as far as I can see it was'nt doing what it should anyway
[2011/12/18 08:54] Tor Karlsvalt: I think you are right Shep
[2011/12/18 08:54] Trebor Warcliffe: I would love for someone to take the time to reach out to some of these groups and encourage them to run some classes in CDS
[2011/12/18 08:54] Sudane Erato: well, it DID function well in the building of the sims
[2011/12/18 08:54] Trebor Warcliffe: yes it did
[2011/12/18 08:54] Shep (shep.titian): Yes it would be good
[2011/12/18 08:54] Sudane Erato: but the school program never worked
[2011/12/18 08:54] Trebor Warcliffe: The Faculty was and is a wonderful idea
[2011/12/18 08:54] Trebor Warcliffe: but it needs people to pull it off
[2011/12/18 08:54] Pat (patroklus.murakami): the NG ran well when it had someone like moon as its leader. she was an excellent builder but also really good at bringign ppl together
[2011/12/18 08:54] Tor Karlsvalt: yes, then it has been three years since we added a sim.
[2011/12/18 08:54] Shep (shep.titian): Do we have any sand box facilties?
[2011/12/18 08:54] Pat (patroklus.murakami): symo did well too
[2011/12/18 08:55] Sudane Erato: Jon pays for some, yes
[2011/12/18 08:55] Shep (shep.titian): See I did'nt know thios
[2011/12/18 08:55] Tor Karlsvalt: a small sandbox at the villa of the pines.
[2011/12/18 08:55] Pat (patroklus.murakami): but we need to get it back off the ground first. baby steps
[2011/12/18 08:55] Tor Karlsvalt: Near where you had a house I think shep
[2011/12/18 08:55] Tor Karlsvalt: across from my temple in CN.
[2011/12/18 08:55] Shep (shep.titian): and a citizen not 'joined' in would'nt think to ask
[2011/12/18 08:56] Shep (shep.titian): Ok
[2011/12/18 08:56] Shep (shep.titian): Sorry for all the points
[2011/12/18 08:56] Tor Karlsvalt: well you need to contact Jon for rights to the sandbox.
[2011/12/18 08:56] Tor Karlsvalt: Jon Seattle
[2011/12/18 08:56] Shep (shep.titian): But I'm handy in that I'm fresh eyes
[2011/12/18 08:57] Trebor Warcliffe: Pat the main reason for my veto was I felt the NG wasn't given enough time to fill the NG Sec of Board position adn that citizen input wasnt taken into consideration before the RA voted on the committee. Now I feel we took the time to fill the position and we were unable to do it at this time. For this reason I have no problem withdrawing my two vetos.
[2011/12/18 08:57] Sudane Erato: Shep, its great that you bring these up, because you're one of the few new people to jump into this
[2011/12/18 08:57] Tor Karlsvalt: yes, sudane.
[2011/12/18 08:57] Pat (patroklus.murakami): that's very helpful, thanks trebor :)
