I think the level of inactivity this past term provides more evidence of the need for a staff willing and able to help out. I won't be requesting salaries for these positions this term. Do I need to go outside the CDS and pay people in Second Life to assist with these duties so there isn't a conflict of interest? If you can find qualified individuals who will work for L$ 1,000 a month, that's a whopping $4.02 for probably 10 to 20 hours of work a month.
Don't make taking care of the CDS a JOB for the few who are able to VOLUNTEER because they don't have a conflict of interest. We are all mature adults, let's give each other the benefit of the doubt at least.
Thank you,

Here's another way to look at the issue. We're having a tough time finding someone to take on these three big jobs. Having done a couple of them in the past, I can say for certain that they ARE big jobs: they take a large commitment of time, and they have to be done in a timely fashion.
I'm thinking that one reason no one steps up to volunteer for these jobs is that for most people, they're just too big, too much responsibility. But are there people who would take on one small piece of those jobs and be responsible for getting it done? The big jobs seem like something that should be compensated, even if it's just the token of rebating L$1000 of tier per month. But small tasks people gladly do as volunteers. And when people are doing just small tasks, there's another side benefit: they don't burn out.
