Please note that we will be closing this meeting at 11pm the latest, as per the usual Oct 02 21:28:11       ping Bosun Oct 02 21:28:29       First up is IT Committee report. Oct 02 21:28:31        Joseph Klein Oct 02 21:28:49       from WI, correct? Oct 02 21:29:58       Bosun: anything new? Oct 02 21:30:05        Yes WI Oct 02 21:31:35         Saturdays\'s meeting was a bust … we failed to have the content discussion. We try again next Saturday and I will post tomorrow on SAB and IT a reminder. Oct 02 21:32:13        Mostly my fault - I failed to show Oct 02 21:32:53        I will give this more attention when I finish the firewall move I'm doing at work. Going to devote some time to learning everything we have. Oct 02 21:33:28       there were 3 people there, myself included. Oct 02 21:33:35 *       MattW (webchat@143.236.qtw.xsi) has joined #pnc Oct 02 21:33:41       Sometimes you'll have to make-do with what little we got. Oct 02 21:33:49 *       K`Tetch (~no@international.pirate) has joined #pnc Oct 02 21:34:01        We have good talented people, we just need to do some resource management. Oct 02 21:34:11       indeed. Oct 02 21:34:21        what did I miss? Oct 02 21:34:30       K`Tetch: identify please Oct 02 21:34:34        We started late Oct 02 21:34:49        Andrew Norton, PPGA spokesman (PPUK governor) Oct 02 21:34:56       Bosun: is that all for IT this week? Oct 02 21:35:03       Any announcements, or anything? Oct 02 21:35:04        yes. Oct 02 21:35:09       Gotcha. Oct 02 21:35:30       Onward to the agenda. Oct 02 21:35:43       First bullet: removal of non-active states from the PNC. Oct 02 21:36:13       I've talked about this at length on a few occasions, as I'm sure many remember. Oct 02 21:36:55       It's still up to you guys to keep the non-actives in or not. California is the main offender at this point Oct 02 21:37:23       Anyone have anything to add/ Oct 02 21:37:25       ? Oct 02 21:37:30        Maybe giving CA the boot will be the kick in the pants they need Oct 02 21:38:02        Point of order: I will be right back, giving voting to Bosun for a short time. Oct 02 21:38:10       FrancisKlein: thank you Oct 02 21:38:30       Bluestreak: possibly, the facebook page is still active, but no responses to anyone. Oct 02 21:38:32 <K`Tetch>       "kick in the pants" how? Oct 02 21:38:38 <Rush>       Is anyone even IN the CAPP? Oct 02 21:38:50 <OyajiVyse>       which other states aside from CA are under consideration? Oct 02 21:38:55 <Bluestreak>       Sometimes being reprimanded is a motivator Oct 02 21:39:19 <Bluestreak>       kusanagi has been reaching out to them for weeks Oct 02 21:39:27       more like months. Oct 02 21:39:28 <K`Tetch>       who is 'them' Oct 02 21:39:33 <Bluestreak>       CA rep Oct 02 21:39:40       K`Tetch: California Pirate Party Oct 02 21:39:46 <K`Tetch>       right, WHO Oct 02 21:40:01 <Bluestreak>       IDK. I'm the MA rep Oct 02 21:40:14       OrionSteele Oct 02 21:40:17 <Rush>       Does the CA party even HAVE a rep or a person in charge? Oct 02 21:40:37 <Bluestreak>       LOL maybe if we ALL reached out to CAPP Oct 02 21:40:39       Orion was the point of contact, the president of CAPP was someone else Oct 02 21:40:45 <K`Tetch>       didn't orion leave like 2 years ago? Oct 02 21:41:06       he just joined 1 year ago. Oct 02 21:41:41       So, no Oct 02 21:41:52 <K`Tetch>        I know I've got logs of him back in 09 Oct 02 21:41:56       he and the rest of CAPP disappeared this past january Oct 02 21:42:00 <K`Tetch>       because I was looking through them for NAte Anderson Oct 02 21:42:04       he was new in 2011. Oct 02 21:42:10       2012 Oct 02 21:42:32 <K`Tetch>       maybe he left and came abck, I could swear he was around in 09 Oct 02 21:42:40 <K`Tetch>       maybe even earlier Oct 02 21:42:44 <K`Tetch>       chan6 would know better Oct 02 21:42:46       That's of no matter. Oct 02 21:43:04       Point is, they were here, they joined PNC, and have since vanished. Oct 02 21:43:17       emails and calls have been unreturned. Oct 02 21:43:34 <Bluestreak>       You msg the FB page? Oct 02 21:43:42 <Bosun>       last google+ entry is january Oct 02 21:43:49       At this point, they are WAY beyond the point of allowance Oct 02 21:43:54       Bluestreak: yep Oct 02 21:44:03 <Bluestreak>       Give the boot! Oct 02 21:44:24       Well, state rep from MA, I can't just do that Oct 02 21:44:27 <OyajiVyse>       according to the bylaws, they are to be put on probation first Oct 02 21:44:29       or it would have been done. Oct 02 21:44:53 <Bosun>       i move we put ca on probation Oct 02 21:44:57 <Bluestreak>       Oops Oct 02 21:45:24 <Bluestreak>       2nd Oct 02 21:45:31 <OyajiVyse>       then after a month of inaction from that time, they are left to observer status Oct 02 21:45:53       OyajiVyse: correct Oct 02 21:46:20       motion to put CAPP on probation has been seconded. Oct 02 21:46:27 <OyajiVyse>       all in favor? Oct 02 21:46:42 <Bosun>       discussion ... Oct 02 21:46:50 <Bosun>       not so fast Oct 02 21:47:13       OyajiVyse is a bit fast on the draw there Oct 02 21:47:25       Is there any further discussion before the vote? Oct 02 21:47:44 <K`Tetch>       discussion should have been prior to the meeting. Now we have some details, I'd like to discuss it with my own state party, and maybe try my own attempt Oct 02 21:48:08 <Bluestreak>       Fair enought IMO Oct 02 21:48:12 <FrancisKlein>       back. sorry about that.

Oct 02 21:53:52 <FrancisKlein>       Point of information: Does the captain need to call the vote in order for members to vote? Oct 02 21:55:00       yes. Oct 02 21:55:28 <FrancisKlein>       Point of order: the vote was never called for Oct 02 21:55:39       Also Correct. Oct 02 21:55:45       Revote required. Oct 02 21:55:57       motion to table further discussion on CAPP to next week seconded. All in favor? Oct 02 21:56:00 <FrancisKlein>       aye Oct 02 21:56:11 <Rush>       aye Oct 02 21:56:30 <OyajiVyse>       aye Oct 02 21:56:35 *       kusanagi gives voice to K`Tetch Oct 02 21:56:45       forgot to voice you, K`Tetch, sorrry Oct 02 21:56:52 <K`Tetch>       aye Oct 02 21:58:09       Bluestreak: Oct 02 21:58:14 <Bluestreak>       aye Oct 02 21:58:23       vote called, tally?

Oct 02 22:01:00 <FrancisKlein>       I believe that a convention committee is necessary in order to make any progress as an organization towards a national convention Oct 02 22:01:26       And since elections are sooner than we think, it's needed, correct? Oct 02 22:01:59 <K`Tetch>       correct, elections should be started end of this month Oct 02 22:02:13 <FrancisKlein>       If there is a committee specifically for that purpose, which would have to report to the pnc every meeting, Oct 02 22:02:24 <FrancisKlein>       then I feel more would get done on the subject. Oct 02 22:02:36 <FrancisKlein>       to that end, I would like such a committee created Oct 02 22:03:11 <Bluestreak>       motion? Oct 02 22:03:20 <FrancisKlein>       with the specific purpose of organizing whatever resources are necessary for a national convention of the Pirate Party at a time to be determined by the pnc Oct 02 22:04:05       FrancisKlein: understood. Oct 02 22:04:22 <FrancisKlein>       point of information: Oct 02 22:04:36 <FrancisKlein>       would an amendment to the bylaws of the PNC be neceassary? Oct 02 22:04:39       no. Oct 02 22:04:41 <FrancisKlein>        I believe it would not Oct 02 22:04:41 <FrancisKlein>       ok Oct 02 22:04:45 <FrancisKlein>        well then Oct 02 22:05:12 <FrancisKlein>       I move that the PNC create a convention committee under the subcommittee bylaws of the PNC with the specific purpose of organizing the logistics and recruiting help for setting up a Pirate national convention at a date and frequency set by the PNC. Oct 02 22:06:06       Any second? Oct 02 22:06:16 <Bluestreak>       2nd Oct 02 22:07:06 <FrancisKlein>       point of order: I believe the chair should call for debate at this point Oct 02 22:07:49 <K`Tetch>       ok, what do you mean by 'frequency to be set' - how often are you envisioning it? Oct 02 22:08:16       FrancisKlein: a motion was made and it seemed like you wanted to vote on it. Oct 02 22:08:19       I apologize Oct 02 22:08:56 <K`Tetch>       and are you visualising a physical convention, or an online one? Oct 02 22:08:58 <FrancisKlein>       If it pleases the chair, I move the body enter into a maximum 3 minute debate with the possibility of extention on the motion made Oct 02 22:09:53 <Rush>       I agree, it sounds like you're wanting a physical location convention Oct 02 22:10:16 <Bluestreak>       Wasn;t the last one online? Oct 02 22:10:35 <Rush>       They're all online, that's how this party is Oct 02 22:10:43        Bluestreak: it was supposed to be online. Oct 02 22:10:52 <FrancisKlein>       point of order: motion on the table Oct 02 22:10:58 <Bluestreak>       Can't afford in person Oct 02 22:11:02 <Rush>       The easiest way to envision the Pirate Party in the US is imagine a political party being run out of someone's closet, because that's us Oct 02 22:11:03 <Bluestreak>        sry Oct 02 22:11:40 <Bluestreak>       Point of infomation: Can I suggest video chat? Oct 02 22:11:41 <FrancisKlein>       Point of Order: Motion on the Table: "I move the body enter into a maximum 3 minute debate with the possibility of extention on the motion made" we are not currently in a discussion Oct 02 22:11:47       FrancisKlein: that's fine Oct 02 22:11:47 <Bosun>       may I speak Oct 02 22:12:06 <Bluestreak>       Point of info 3 minutes aint a lot of time in PNC Oct 02 22:13:31 <FrancisKlein>       assuming we are currently in a discussion with indefinite length, I intend this convention to be physical Oct 02 22:13:49 <FrancisKlein>       although I wish the details to be specified by the pnc Oct 02 22:14:06       There's going to be extreme difficulty having a physical convention. Oct 02 22:14:18 <FrancisKlein>       thus the working of the motion - i would entertain an amendment that says the place must also be specified by the pnc Oct 02 22:14:40       that's more of the committee's decision. Oct 02 22:14:40 <K`Tetch>       for a group as spread out as us, as low membered as us, and a poorly funded as us, that's a complete no-go (I say that as someone who's organised many events over the last 15 years) Oct 02 22:15:25 <FrancisKlein>       Ktetch, I think it is possible, but not in the very near future Oct 02 22:15:35 <Rush>       How do you think it's possible? Oct 02 22:15:37 <FrancisKlein>       the point would be to start working towards that now Oct 02 22:15:37 <Bluestreak>       No I have to agree with Andrew Oct 02 22:15:58 <Bluestreak>       Unless y'all want to come to Boston ;-) Oct 02 22:16:06 <FrancisKlein>        center of mass is in Washington Oct 02 22:16:21 <Bluestreak>        I was joking Oct 02 22:16:23 <K`Tetch>        thats a long drive/amtrak ride from ATL Oct 02 22:16:34        even longer from NY. Oct 02 22:16:38 <FrancisKlein>        And even longer from WI Oct 02 22:16:41 <FrancisKlein>        but I would go Oct 02 22:16:46 <Bluestreak>        May I offer video chat as an alternative? Oct 02 22:16:58 <FrancisKlein>        This is not in the near future, Oct 02 22:16:59 <Bosun>        I have taken the train from DC to Atlanta … it is not bad. Oct 02 22:17:01        I think we're getting a bit distracted. Oct 02 22:17:06 <Bluestreak>        Agrees Oct 02 22:17:15 <K`Tetch>        We do have a big event in Atalnta every labor day weekend, with appropriate speakers that ppga piggybacks on each year Oct 02 22:17:29 <Bluestreak>       What is that pls? Oct 02 22:17:32 <FrancisKlein>       and the committee I believe would be set up to work towards this - not that we have to have only physical conventions, but that we build up to it Oct 02 22:18:00 <FrancisKlein>        as in, bluestreak, we have video chat building up to it Oct 02 22:18:01 <K`Tetch>        Dragoncon Oct 02 22:18:10 <FrancisKlein>       I'm thinking on the scale of many years Oct 02 22:18:20 <Bluestreak>       Yes FrancisKlein Oct 02 22:18:26 <Bluestreak>       that is what I meant Oct 02 22:18:28       FrancisKlein: right now, we're focused on the next election Oct 02 22:18:33 <Bluestreak>       IDK know that about Dragoncon Oct 02 22:18:38       which is Nov. 13th, iirc Oct 02 22:18:39 <FrancisKlein>       that is what I believe the committee should be doing Oct 02 22:18:40 <K`Tetch>       then you plan at the time, for that specifically FrancisKlein, you can't plan a physical event now, for 'some time int he future' because it's all about specifics Oct 02 22:18:44 <Bluestreak>       Makes me want to try harder to get my ass down there Oct 02 22:18:58 <K`Tetch>       Bluestreak - eff.dragoncon.org Oct 02 22:19:13 <Bluestreak>       Of course. Oct 02 22:19:25 <Bluestreak>       wow six weeks Oct 02 22:20:07 <FrancisKlein>       Ok, I Envision this committee to be one which works with the pnc to set up video chat conventions and start to organize for the ultimate goal of a physical convention - by many years, I mean along the lines of 5-7 years Oct 02 22:20:18 <FrancisKlein>       I may be unrealistic Oct 02 22:20:30 <FrancisKlein>       but if we ever want a physical convention in this party, ever Oct 02 22:20:40 <FrancisKlein>       then we should start working towards it NOW Oct 02 22:20:49 <Bluestreak>       i move video chats for this purpose occur no more often than monthly Oct 02 22:20:49 <FrancisKlein>       I know we are focused on the next election Oct 02 22:21:03 <FrancisKlein>       that is why I would like to have a committee take care of it Oct 02 22:21:16 <FrancisKlein>        point of order, there is already a motion on the table Oct 02 22:21:24 <Bluestreak>       sry Oct 02 22:21:33 <FrancisKlein>       its ok Oct 02 22:21:33 <K`Tetch>        with physical events, 99% of planing is in the specific, not the general Oct 02 22:21:44       Exactly. Oct 02 22:21:51 <FrancisKlein>       yes, but I cannot specify all of it now. That is why the committee Oct 02 22:22:25       Work toward what you need to know Oct 02 22:22:27       now Oct 02 22:22:32 <FrancisKlein>       exactly Oct 02 22:22:45       Afterward, assuming the committee is still together, focus on better things Oct 02 22:23:14 <FrancisKlein>       No. We need to start thinking about it now. Oct 02 22:23:20 <FrancisKlein>       Not doing, talking Oct 02 22:23:20       For the shirt term, if you don't mind clarifying your goals for this committee. Oct 02 22:23:28 <FrancisKlein>       short term - Oct 02 22:23:33       short Oct 02 22:23:34       sorry Oct 02 22:23:57 <FrancisKlein>       publicize and organize video conventions for the USPP Oct 02 22:24:13 <FrancisKlein>       establish connections for a potential future physical meeting Oct 02 22:24:29 <FrancisKlein>       mainly the first point Oct 02 22:24:48       any physical meeting is over a year away at this point. Oct 02 22:24:50 <FrancisKlein>       print tshirts, make posters, put up info about video conventions Oct 02 22:24:52 <FrancisKlein>       etc Oct 02 22:24:59 <FrancisKlein>       I said, 5-7 years Oct 02 22:25:32 <FrancisKlein>       I am not being rediculous, I just think starting to work on it now is better Oct 02 22:25:38 <FrancisKlein>       because it will take a LOT of work Oct 02 22:25:48 <FrancisKlein>       in the mean time, do video conventions Oct 02 22:26:10 <Bluestreak>       2nd Oct 02 22:26:15 <Bluestreak>       ? Oct 02 22:26:20 <Rush>       I move to table this until FK has his shit together Oct 02 22:26:22 <FrancisKlein>       second already mate Oct 02 22:26:25 <FrancisKlein>       *made Oct 02 22:26:31 <Bluestreak>       lol Oct 02 22:26:40 <FrancisKlein>       Rush, I have my shit together Oct 02 22:26:46 <FrancisKlein>       I am not doing this on my own Oct 02 22:26:54 <FrancisKlein>       this is the establishment of a COMMITTEE Oct 02 22:27:04 <FrancisKlein>       for the purpose of doing what I cannot Oct 02 22:27:06 <K`Tetch>       Again FrancisKlein, from experience, physical events take a lot, yes, but only once you'ev already got the specifics. there's NOTHING general you can do to plan for an event until you have date + location sorted Oct 02 22:27:24       I've asked for the short term goals, and not to offend, but it's undoable right now. Oct 02 22:27:48 <FrancisKlein>       which is why the pnc will specify that at a later date and the focus of the committee would be to simply organize the video conventions for the most part Oct 02 22:28:03 <FrancisKlein>       I specified the short term goals. Oct 02 22:28:08 <FrancisKlein>       do you think they are undoable? Oct 02 22:28:18 <FrancisKlein>       and when did ambition hurt an organization? Oct 02 22:28:25       It killed CAPP. Oct 02 22:28:35       They were overzealous and burned out. Oct 02 22:28:53 <FrancisKlein>       ok, ambition and determination Oct 02 22:29:03 <FrancisKlein>       this committee is not the start of CAPP again Oct 02 22:29:12 <FrancisKlein>       this would be governedby the pnc Oct 02 22:29:16 <FrancisKlein>       as is any committtee Oct 02 22:29:56       And I point to the former convention committee. Oct 02 22:30:11       How would this group handle the upcoming elections? Oct 02 22:30:19 <FrancisKlein>       And I volunteer myself as chair Oct 02 22:30:34 <FrancisKlein>       what do you mean? Oct 02 22:30:35       I'd like an answer to that question please, point of information. Oct 02 22:30:58       How would this committee handle the elections that are in approximately 6 weeks? Oct 02 22:31:08 <Bluestreak>       This should be our focus Oct 02 22:31:22 <K`Tetch>       the elections should be sooner than that, 6 weeks is when your term ends Oct 02 22:31:24 <Bluestreak>       Order of operations Oct 02 22:31:32 <FrancisKlein>       Excusing my lack of history with the pnc, how would that affect a committee Oct 02 22:31:32 <K`Tetch>       we should be well done with the election by then Oct 02 22:31:44       FrancisKlein: I'm asking how your committee would function. Oct 02 22:31:58       K`Tetch: this is true, as well. Oct 02 22:32:07       give some time for the new people to come in. Oct 02 22:32:25 <K`Tetch>       change over all paperwork, etc Oct 02 22:32:29       Exactly Oct 02 22:32:57 <FrancisKlein>       Are new chairs of the committees elected? Oct 02 22:33:02 <FrancisKlein>       or is it just the officers? Oct 02 22:33:08       They could be either Oct 02 22:33:14 <K`Tetch>       hence why I said 22:01:25 «+K`Tetch» correct, elections should be started end of this month Oct 02 22:33:19       that fully depends on the committee itself Oct 02 22:33:35 <Bluestreak>       Can't we just have elections at PNC? Oct 02 22:33:35       K`Tetch: yeah, I got that now, sorry. Oct 02 22:33:42 <Bluestreak>       point of info Oct 02 22:33:46       Bluestreak: last year was a disaster Oct 02 22:33:55 <Bluestreak>       Oh kay Oct 02 22:34:04       that culminated in the former chair leaving without giving any information at all to me Oct 02 22:34:56        no turn over, no contacts, nothing Oct 02 22:34:57 <Rush>       Wasn't I the chair before you? Oct 02 22:35:03 <K`Tetch>       no, travis was Oct 02 22:35:24 <FrancisKlein>       I move that my motion be postponed until after the PNC elections, at which time I will bring forward a document with a clear purpose and charter of the suggested committee. Oct 02 22:35:29 <Bluestreak>       Oh THAT'S What they were talking about Oct 02 22:35:34 <Rush>       If I recall, it was Ryan, Me, Brit, Me, Travis, You, right? Oct 02 22:35:47 <K`Tetch>       yes Oct 02 22:35:48 <Bluestreak>       We were talking about this at a MAPP inperson mtg last year Oct 02 22:35:57       Order. Oct 02 22:36:02 <Bluestreak>       Yes Oct 02 22:36:11 <K`Tetch>       but you forgot" MEEEEEEEEEEEEE, chan6," at the start Oct 02 22:36:32       FrancisKlein: would there be a chance you are able to have a small convention committee handle the upcoming elections/ Oct 02 22:37:17 <FrancisKlein>       yes, although I would need advice on how to do so, since I have not gone through elections before Oct 02 22:37:19       and point of information: we have 20 minutes left. Oct 02 22:37:27       FrancisKlein: that's fine Oct 02 22:37:31 <Bluestreak>       POint of info... since I won't be running for anything I volunteer for said cmte Oct 02 22:37:44       hold volunteering for PMs please Oct 02 22:37:48 <Bluestreak>       k Oct 02 22:38:15 <FrancisKlein>        should we wait to create said committee until later, then? or now? Oct 02 22:38:44       That's up to you, but I'd advise to hold out a week, and come up with a plan to hold the elections, then focus on further options. Oct 02 22:39:01 <FrancisKlein>       understood Oct 02 22:39:09 <FrancisKlein>       then, I rescind my last motion Oct 02 22:39:09       Anything further? Oct 02 22:39:23 <FrancisKlein>       I move that my motion be postponed for one week, at which time I will bring forward a document with a clear purpose and charter of the suggested committee. Oct 02 22:39:39 <Bluestreak>       2nd Oct 02 22:39:44       All in favor? Oct 02 22:39:47 <FrancisKlein>       aye Oct 02 22:39:51 <Bluestreak>       aye Oct 02 22:39:52 <K`Tetch>       aye Oct 02 22:39:57 <Rush>       aye Oct 02 22:40:25 <OyajiVyse>       aye Oct 02 22:40:28 <Bluestreak>       afk have to help kid one sec Oct 02 22:40:53       vote called, tally?

Oct 02 22:41:21       next:  Content Committee formation, focus, and scope. Oct 02 22:41:29       FrancisKlein: I believe this was yours as well? Oct 02 22:41:36 <FrancisKlein>       Indeed it was Oct 02 22:41:57 <Bluestreak>       bacxk Oct 02 22:42:18       Do you have a proposal set up, or would you prefer to hold this off for next week as well? Oct 02 22:42:22 <FrancisKlein>       I move to postpone this motion for a period of one week, at which time I will bring forward a document with a clear charter of the content committee Oct 02 22:42:38 <K`Tetch>       2nd Oct 02 22:42:53       All in favor? Oct 02 22:42:57 <Bluestreak>       aye Oct 02 22:42:58 <FrancisKlein>       point of information : I have a charter, but we don't have time Oct 02 22:43:00 <FrancisKlein>       aye Oct 02 22:43:03 <OyajiVyse>       aye Oct 02 22:43:08 <K`Tetch>       aye Oct 02 22:43:41 <Rush>       aye Oct 02 22:44:32       vote called, tally?

Norton, K`Tetch Oct 02 22:46:25       I have it marked as a proposal, though that may be incorrect Oct 02 22:46:58 <K`Tetch>       ok, my motion is pretty much as in the email monday. ALL proposals should be annoucned at least 48 hours (but 24 hours in exceptional circumstances) proposals should have sources, evidence, and information, so that informed research and decisions can be made Oct 02 22:47:30 <K`Tetch>       and the time gap is to allow us to actually consult our parties and get feedback and opinion from them, because we'er supposed to be representing our parties here Oct 02 22:47:52 <K`Tetch>       and our current process has us making emotive longwinded arguments with no facts and no way to get feedback from our parties Oct 02 22:47:53 <Bluestreak>       point of info Oct 02 22:48:05 <Bluestreak>       "sources"? Oct 02 22:48:14 <K`Tetch>       links, evidence, data Oct 02 22:48:23 <Bosun>       citations Oct 02 22:48:25 <Bluestreak>       so "or" Oct 02 22:48:28 <Bluestreak>       not "and" Oct 02 22:48:57 <Bluestreak>       Yes? Oct 02 22:49:09       and/or would be more appropriate in my logic Oct 02 22:49:09 <K`Tetch>       I'd want information AND citations Oct 02 22:49:32 <Bluestreak>       OK how *much* info? Oct 02 22:49:37 <Bluestreak>       Sentence? Oct 02 22:49:39 <K`Tetch>       as much is felt to be needed Oct 02 22:49:43 <Bluestreak>       Paragraph? Oct 02 22:49:59 <Bluestreak>       "Yo, peeps: THIS!" ? Oct 02 22:50:16       Whatever it takes to accurately prove a point, I take it Oct 02 22:50:28 <K`Tetch>        yes Oct 02 22:50:53 <Bluestreak>       Can I move that these changes be probationary? Oct 02 22:51:17 <Bluestreak>       Not a bad idea Oct 02 22:51:23 <Bluestreak>       Just want to test the waters Oct 02 22:51:33       We can do that Oct 02 22:51:38 <K`Tetch>       ok Oct 02 22:51:43 <Bluestreak>        cool Oct 02 22:52:03       So, any proposals must be sent over to Dan or myself, since Caleb is still gone. Oct 02 22:52:10       And we'll incorporate it Oct 02 22:52:36        Would friday be a solid deadline? Oct 02 22:52:42       not solid, good Oct 02 22:52:53 <Bluestreak>       um 48 hours? Oct 02 22:53:03 <Bluestreak>       w/b Mon? Oct 02 22:53:07 <Rush>       9PM EST Saturday Oct 02 22:53:10 <K`Tetch>       any proposals should be sent to the sab list Oct 02 22:53:18 <FrancisKlein>       I propose an amendment at a later time to the bylaws, Article 6, section 1: the creation of subsection 4, worded as follows: The agenda items of the PNC meetings shall be proposed by the members of the PNC. Each proposed agenda item must be made public at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting and have sufficient supporting information included" Oct 02 22:53:18 <Bluestreak>       Agreed Oct 02 22:53:33 <Bluestreak>        Agreed SAB list for Proposals Oct 02 22:53:38        K`Tetch: agreed Oct 02 22:53:48        I'm thinking agenda, I'm sorry. Oct 02 22:53:55 <FrancisKlein>        something along those lines? Oct 02 22:54:31        that's pretty dead-on, i'd think Oct 02 22:54:36        order: 5 minutes Oct 02 22:54:56 <FrancisKlein>        I should somehow include the SAB list requirement, though Oct 02 22:55:08 <FrancisKlein>        I think made public kinda covers it Oct 02 22:55:11 <K`Tetch>        public covers that Oct 02 22:55:14 <FrancisKlein>        ok Oct 02 22:55:35 <FrancisKlein>        do you think sufficient supporting information is too vague? Oct 02 22:55:44 *        Fatbag (~quassel@ice-887-88-27-30.public.utexas.edu) has joined #pnc Oct 02 22:55:55       no Oct 02 22:55:57        4 minutes Oct 02 22:56:10 <K`Tetch>       move to vote Oct 02 22:56:14       All in favor Oct 02 22:56:18 <FrancisKlein>       AYE Oct 02 22:56:23 <K`Tetch>       AYE Oct 02 22:56:26 <Rush>       aye Oct 02 22:56:37 <OyajiVyse>       aye Oct 02 22:56:42       ping Bluestreak Oct 02 22:56:46 <Bluestreak>       aye Oct 02 22:56:52 <Bluestreak>       sry sending an email Oct 02 22:56:56 <Bluestreak>       Pirate bznz Oct 02 22:56:58       vote called, tally?

I don't know if it can be posted to the site offhand though Oct 02 22:58:18 <FrancisKlein>       No - I think it would have to be voted on in some capacity - like the pnc directs so and so to make a PR Oct 02 22:58:28 <Rush>        I have to be up early tomorrow, so I can't stick around Oct 02 22:58:38       PR is expressly my responsibility, iirc Oct 02 22:58:53 <FrancisKlein>       oh ok Oct 02 22:59:05        Falls under spokesperson, iirc Oct 02 22:59:35       Since we don't have a press/relations committee Oct 02 22:59:53       With that, AOB Oct 02 22:59:57       I have a few announcements Oct 02 23:00:30       The meeting on October 16th is canceled, surgery was rescheduled to that date, and for obvious reasons I won't be able to make it Oct 02 23:00:44 <Bluestreak>        Noted Oct 02 23:00:46 <FrancisKlein>       ok Oct 02 23:00:57        And since we're down the Vice-chair, we won't be able to hold a meeting that day Oct 02 23:01:28       Since elections are coming up, state parties should start deciding on who is to be nominated. Oct 02 23:01:40 <Rush>       It's 11:01, I'm out Oct 02 23:01:45       I've heard Rush is really anxious for a nod Oct 02 23:01:49       And that's all I have Oct 02 23:01:52       Anyone else?
