Aug 07 21:03:23        I see we're missing Caleb yet again. Aug 07 21:03:34        ugh Aug 07 21:03:48        unfortunate Aug 07 21:03:52        quite unfortunate Aug 07 21:03:57 <HariSeldon>       do we have quorum? Aug 07 21:04:02       So, again, no IT report. Bosun has said he's interested in co-chairing or chairing Aug 07 21:04:09       That will be arranged this week. Aug 07 21:04:24       Another point to bring up, really fast Aug 07 21:04:27 <HariSeldon>       he is here with me - although not online Aug 07 21:04:38 <HariSeldon>       so if you need to ask bosun, I can talk for him Aug 07 21:04:50       there are several member-state parties who haven't shown in a while Aug 07 21:04:59       california is the big example Aug 07 21:05:03 <HariSeldon>       indeed Aug 07 21:05:08 <HariSeldon>       do we have quorum? Aug 07 21:05:11       we do Aug 07 21:05:15 <HariSeldon>        ok Aug 07 21:05:17        Meeting can't be opened without Aug 07 21:05:17 <HariSeldon>       sorry Aug 07 21:05:21 <HariSeldon>       right Aug 07 21:05:23 <HariSeldon>       duh Aug 07 21:05:24       It's fine Aug 07 21:06:32       There is the option of removing the non-attending state parties Aug 07 21:06:35 <HariSeldon>       quick question - do we have anyone from WA here? Aug 07 21:06:43       Jeff talada is in #uspp Aug 07 21:06:45       not in here Aug 07 21:06:49 <HariSeldon>       ok Aug 07 21:07:00 <HariSeldon>        as to that option - I believe that should not be done Aug 07 21:07:13       Why? Aug 07 21:07:14 <Bluestreak>       2nd Aug 07 21:07:15 <HariSeldon>       not before we make at least one contact, i think Aug 07 21:07:28       pI've made several contacts to no response. Aug 07 21:07:52 <Bluestreak>       Sigh Aug 07 21:07:54       and the CAPP social media and websites don't seem to be updated Aug 07 21:08:03 <HariSeldon>       i know - me too, but are we talking about just CAPP or others too? Aug 07 21:08:23       I'm focusing on CAPP right now. Aug 07 21:08:29 <HariSeldon>       ok Aug 07 21:08:34        I know ORPP is somewhat dead-in-the-water Aug 07 21:08:35 <HariSeldon>       fair enough Aug 07 21:08:46       GAPP, god knows. Aug 07 21:09:05 *       passstab (~coplon@xx.pirate) has joined #pnc Aug 07 21:09:44       So, it may help to remove the parties that have since fizzled Aug 07 21:10:09 <HariSeldon>       yeah Aug 07 21:10:13 <HariSeldon>       i suppose Aug 07 21:11:30       it's up to you guys, but I'd recommend it Aug 07 21:11:53        So, onto less depressing things Aug 07 21:12:01 <HariSeldon>       are they on probation? Aug 07 21:12:05 <HariSeldon>       or something like that Aug 07 21:12:11       we need to vote them onto probation Aug 07 21:12:22 <HariSeldon>       what does probation entail Aug 07 21:13:00       probation is detailed in the bylaws Aug 07 21:13:16       the biggest thing is they lose their full-vite and member status Aug 07 21:13:16 <HariSeldon>       ok, if I can't be lazy... Aug 07 21:13:21 <HariSeldon>       yeah Aug 07 21:13:26       vote. not vite Aug 07 21:13:32 <Bluestreak>       Do what you have to do, sir. Aug 07 21:14:03        It's up to the reps. Aug 07 21:14:16 <HariSeldon>        I believe that voting them into probation might be the best idea, then making sure they are harrased and asked to come back at every opportunity Aug 07 21:14:27       I've harrassed them, trust me Aug 07 21:14:27 *        t51n (webchat@108.61.gi.xpj) has joined #pnc Aug 07 21:15:22 <HariSeldon>       i understand, but I believe that telling them they are now on probation would have more of an impact Aug 07 21:15:27       it seems that they burnt out/ran out of steam Aug 07 21:15:31       it coul Aug 07 21:15:33       could Aug 07 21:16:11 <HariSeldon>       regardless, we should deal with it in new business Aug 07 21:16:15       yeah Aug 07 21:16:21       onwaaard Aug 07 21:16:23       *Old Business: Aug 07 21:16:23       **Implementation of amendment to bylaws to include "Commitees of the PNC are resposible for reporting their progress at each PNC meeting. Failure to do so may result in disbanding or reorganization or removal of the chair." Aug 07 21:17:35 <HariSeldon>       what sort of implementation information do we need? Aug 07 21:17:44 <HariSeldon>       should we amend the bylaws to include more info? Aug 07 21:18:03       the implementation is the amended bylaw itself Aug 07 21:19:13 <HariSeldon>       so we need to amend the bylaws to include implementation? Aug 07 21:21:07 *       QuazarGuy (webchat@e-71-101-706-238.hsd5.wa.comcast.net) has joined #pnc Aug 07 21:21:19       yes Aug 07 21:21:22       no Aug 07 21:21:25 <Bluestreak>        Jeff! Aug 07 21:21:33       implementation is the bylaw itself Aug 07 21:21:41 <QuazarGuy>       hey everyone Aug 07 21:21:42       it may have been poor wordign Aug 07 21:21:49 <QuazarGuy>       Jeffrey Talada, WA Aug 07 21:21:49        QuazarGuy, identify for the record please Aug 07 21:21:51       thansk Aug 07 21:22:33       so it just is creating an amendment to the bylaws to include something that covers the committees Aug 07 21:22:40       e "Commitees of the PNC are resposible for reporting their progress at each PNC meeting. Failure to do so may result in disbanding or reorganization or removal of the chair." Aug 07 21:22:40 <Bluestreak>       OK Aug 07 21:23:37 <QuazarGuy>        where are we on the agenda? Aug 07 21:24:35 <HariSeldon>       old business Aug 07 21:24:54       the first * Aug 07 21:25:08 <QuazarGuy>       thanks Aug 07 21:25:21 <HariSeldon>       so what exactly do we need to do? I'm sorry, but I'll admit that I'm still rather confused Aug 07 21:25:41       that's okay Aug 07 21:26:21       last meeting, there was a suggestion to create a new bylaw to stop the lack of information about the committees Aug 07 21:26:41       forcing them to report at each meeting Aug 07 21:27:03       a (repeated) failure to do that could result in the removal of the chair Aug 07 21:28:15 <HariSeldon>       oh im sorry for some reason I had it in my mind that we already made it an amendment Aug 07 21:28:24 <HariSeldon>       ok Aug 07 21:29:26        not yet Aug 07 21:30:39 <HariSeldon>       ommitees of the PNC are resposible for reporting their progress at each PNC meeting. Failure to report for 3 or more meetings will result in disbanding, reorganization, or removal of the chair at the discretion of the PNC. Aug 07 21:30:45 <HariSeldon>       how about that Aug 07 21:30:49       It's cut off Aug 07 21:31:23 <HariSeldon>       "Commitees of the PNC are resposible for reporting their progress at each PNC meeting. Failure to report for 3 or more meetings will result in disbanding, reorganization, or removal of the chair at the discretion of the PNC." Aug 07 21:31:54 <HariSeldon>       do we need any more detail than that, do you think? Aug 07 21:32:39 <Bluestreak>       I don't Aug 07 21:32:45 <Bluestreak>        think Aug 07 21:33:20       I assume resposible should be responsible Aug 07 21:33:29 <HariSeldon>       yes Aug 07 21:33:38 <HariSeldon>       and I believe there would be another comma Aug 07 21:33:41 <HariSeldon>       resulting in: Aug 07 21:33:56 <HariSeldon>       "Commitees of the PNC are responsible for reporting their progress at each PNC meeting. Failure to report for 3 or more meetings will result in disbanding, reorganization, or removal of the chair, at the discretion of the PNC." Aug 07 21:34:48       It looks good. personally, I would say 2 meetings and be more explicit about the disbanding and reorg Aug 07 21:35:00       disbanding and/or reorganization of the committee Aug 07 21:35:43 <HariSeldon>       Ok Aug 07 21:36:27 <HariSeldon>        rush, blue? What do you think about reorganization and disbanding? what additions should we make? Aug 07 21:36:46 <Rush>       It doesn't affect FLPP. We are our own group. Aug 07 21:37:11 <HariSeldon>       ? Aug 07 21:37:27 <Rush>       Even if the FLPP missed meetings or whatever, the PNC could NOT remove the chairman. Aug 07 21:37:45       ... Aug 07 21:37:51       Rush, you need to pay attention. Aug 07 21:37:57 *       CalebLangeslag (~CalebLang@33-301-304-07.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com) has joined #pnc Aug 07 21:37:58 *       ChanServ gives channel operator status to CalebLangeslag Aug 07 21:37:58 <Rush>       I am Aug 07 21:38:02        We're talking about committees of the PNC. Aug 07 21:38:09 <HariSeldon>       not state members Aug 07 21:38:13 <HariSeldon>       *member states Aug 07 21:38:16 <Rush>       I know, I'm just saying that you can't screw with state parties Aug 07 21:38:21       We couldn't consider that with states. Aug 07 21:38:43 <Rush>       But yes, we need a system to make committees accountable for actually doing thigns Aug 07 21:39:03       which is why that amendment is in play Aug 07 21:39:07 *       kusi gives voice to QuazarGuy Aug 07 21:39:44 <Bluestreak>       No I think y'all have it covered. Aug 07 21:39:57 <Bluestreak>       No additions Aug 07 21:40:36 <HariSeldon>       do we think that the language should be made more specific so that future actions by the pnc are not either more lenient or harsh than we would do? Aug 07 21:40:56       honestly, that is pretty specific Aug 07 21:41:04       it gives 3 actions to do Aug 07 21:41:19 <HariSeldon>        true Aug 07 21:41:23 <Bluestreak>       Iagree Aug 07 21:41:26 <HariSeldon>       i think its fine, i was just making sure Aug 07 21:41:32 <HariSeldon>       that others are ok with it Aug 07 21:42:46 <HariSeldon>        ok... Aug 07 21:42:48       QuazarGuy, Rush, OyajiVyse Aug 07 21:42:52       opinions? Aug 07 21:42:54 <Rush>       What up Aug 07 21:43:20 <Rush>        Fine Aug 07 21:43:26 <OyajiVyse>       looks good to me Aug 07 21:43:34 <HariSeldon>        ok, then Aug 07 21:44:12 <HariSeldon>       I move to amend the bylaws of the PNC by the addition of the following: "Commitees of the PNC are resposible for reporting their progress at each PNC meeting. Failure to report for 2 or more meetings will result in disbanding, reorganization, or removal of the chair at the discretion of the PNC." Aug 07 21:44:36 <HariSeldon>       should I list a specific section of the bylaws? Aug 07 21:44:50 <CalebLangeslag>       You need to cite where it goes, yes Aug 07 21:46:06       CalebLangeslag, identify for the record Aug 07 21:46:18 <CalebLangeslag>       Caleb Langeslag, Minnesota Aug 07 21:46:28       and yes, HariSeldon you've got to cite the section it'll go to Aug 07 21:47:00 <HariSeldon>        I move to amend the bylaws of the PNC by the creation of Article VII, section 4, Stating the following: "subcommitees of the PNC are resposible for reporting their progress at each PNC meeting. Failure to report for 2 or more meetings will result in disbanding, reorganization, or removal of the chair at the discretion of the PNC." Aug 07 21:47:41       HariSeldon, that's without any of the corrections just made. Aug 07 21:47:54       for example, responsible is still spelt wrong. Aug 07 21:48:04 <HariSeldon>       dangit Aug 07 21:48:05 <HariSeldon>       sorry Aug 07 21:48:27 <HariSeldon>       Here you go: I move to amend the bylaws of the PNC by the addition of the following: "Commitees of the PNC are responsible for reporting their progress at each PNC meeting. Failure to report for 2 or more meetings will result in disbanding, reorganization, or removal of the chair, at the discretion of the PNC." Aug 07 21:48:52 <HariSeldon>       noooo Aug 07 21:48:53 <HariSeldon>       wait Aug 07 21:48:58 <HariSeldon>       i suck at this Aug 07 21:49:11 <Bluestreak>       Wait! Aug 07 21:49:17 <Bluestreak>       Something just occured to me Aug 07 21:49:28 <Bluestreak>        Attendance must be fairly ON TIME Aug 07 21:49:40 <HariSeldon>       ? Aug 07 21:49:52 <Bluestreak>       Well, Caleb is here, but 50 minutes late Aug 07 21:49:53 <HariSeldon>       responsible for reporting their progress Aug 07 21:49:58 <HariSeldon>       ummm Aug 07 21:49:59 <HariSeldon>       so Aug 07 21:50:02 <HariSeldon>        no Aug 07 21:50:05 <HariSeldon>        i disagree Aug 07 21:50:07 <CalebLangeslag>       Would it matter if someone simply submitted a committee report to the chair, in advance, if they're not able to attend? Aug 07 21:50:15 <HariSeldon>       no Aug 07 21:50:22 <HariSeldon>        i think that would constitute a report Aug 07 21:50:25 <HariSeldon>       in my mind Aug 07 21:50:41 <HariSeldon>       we could make it so they either have to be somewhat on time or submit a report early Aug 07 21:51:05       said report must be submitted the day before at the earilest. Aug 07 21:51:08       imo Aug 07 21:51:19       \*before the meeting Aug 07 21:51:26 <CalebLangeslag>       You mean latest? Aug 07 21:51:29       no Aug 07 21:51:42 <HariSeldon>        ? Aug 07 21:51:44       agenda is out max 48 hours before meeting Aug 07 21:51:53       you'll have 24 hours to know if you're making it Aug 07 21:52:02        before writing the report Aug 07 21:52:35       and actually, I need to speak with you and Bosun about the IT chair. Aug 07 21:52:46       that will be done privately. Aug 07 21:53:23 <HariSeldon>       i can have bosun online if you want Aug 07 21:53:42       HariSeldon, after the meeting, if possible. Aug 07 21:53:49 <HariSeldon>       will do Aug 07 21:53:53        Anyway, this is a distraction Aug 07 21:54:00       IT missed their report time. Aug 07 21:54:06       Carry on with the amendment. Aug 07 21:54:09 <HariSeldon>       was there a set report time? Aug 07 21:54:29       It's scheduled before the agenda items Aug 07 21:55:01 <HariSeldon>       ok Aug 07 21:55:03 <HariSeldon>        i see that Aug 07 21:55:28       There was a motion, do you rescind it? Aug 07 21:55:30 <HariSeldon>       so committee chair must submit report no more than 24 hours before meeting? Aug 07 21:55:33 <HariSeldon>       yes Aug 07 21:55:39 <HariSeldon>       i rescind Aug 07 21:55:52 <HariSeldon>       will move again, pending discussion and possible amendments Aug 07 21:55:53       it's not part of the amendment at present Aug 07 21:56:09 <HariSeldon>       i understand, asking what we want Aug 07 21:56:23 <HariSeldon>       do we want chair to report no more than 24 hrs before meeting? Aug 07 21:56:33 <HariSeldon>       based on which time zone? Aug 07 21:57:33 <CalebLangeslag>       Doesn't matter of timezone, because it starts at a specific time Aug 07 21:57:34       there is no time zone. Aug 07 21:57:37       ^ Aug 07 21:57:55 <Bluestreak>       2nd Aug 07 21:58:08       Bluestreak, no motion to second Aug 07 21:58:22 <HariSeldon>       ok Aug 07 21:58:26 <HariSeldon>        sorry Aug 07 21:58:31 <Bluestreak>       OK Aug 07 21:58:54        24h before would be 9pm Eastern on Tuesday Aug 07 21:59:05       8pm central, 7 Mountain, 6 Pacific Aug 07 22:00:55 <HariSeldon>       so... "subcommitees of the PNC are resposible for reporting their progress, either at each PNC meeting within the confines of the agenda, or in a written report to the PNC chair made no more than 24 hours before the meeting. Failure to report for 2 or more meetings will result in disbanding, reorganization, or removal of the chair at the discretion of the PNC." Aug 07 22:02:14 <Bluestreak>       What about their attendance at PNC, does that matter? Aug 07 22:02:29       the chair would have to be in Aug 07 22:02:39        and again, that misspell is there Aug 07 22:02:59       disbanding and/or reorganization of the committee Aug 07 22:03:12 <HariSeldon>       ummm, you know, i think that they should be able to report at any time in the meeting, and i think that they should not be able to report without attending the meeting Aug 07 22:03:31       HariSeldon, the other issue is we're now at a 2 hour time limit Aug 07 22:03:39 <QuazarGuy>       Could there just be a real time report page that people could look at and see exactly where the group is at the moment? I see the PNC as a formality to get everyone on the same page. Aug 07 22:03:49 <HariSeldon>       hmmm Aug 07 22:04:04       we cannot afford the interruptions and distractions Aug 07 22:04:25 <HariSeldon>       kusi, what do you mean Aug 07 22:04:33 <HariSeldon>       i know we have a time limit Aug 07 22:04:35       QuazarGuy, with an update from the committee in the first place, that can be done. Aug 07 22:04:46       tyhe agenda is set for a reason Aug 07 22:04:56 <HariSeldon>       ok Aug 07 22:05:12 <HariSeldon>        but i would like to facilitate a discussion with the committee if need be Aug 07 22:05:16        for example, caleb coming in 50 min late, shouldn't be able to go "K, here's IT nao" when we're doing something else Aug 07 22:05:24 <HariSeldon>       yes, Aug 07 22:06:34 <HariSeldon>       at the same time I would like to have the ability to have a discussion on what the IT committee has done with members thereof at each meeting Aug 07 22:06:49 <HariSeldon>       but i understand the time agenda Aug 07 22:07:07 <QuazarGuy>       I mean realtime as in, the committee keeps it up to date as they work. They should use the PNC to report problems they're running into. Aug 07 22:07:20 <HariSeldon>       that would be useful Aug 07 22:07:26 <HariSeldon>       i think that may be best Aug 07 22:07:40       pnc shoudl be keeping track of progress as well Aug 07 22:07:48       and we've had that model with IT. Aug 07 22:07:53       it has failed. Aug 07 22:08:00 <QuazarGuy>       oh Aug 07 22:08:54 <HariSeldon>        the update thing failed? Aug 07 22:09:06 <HariSeldon>       or do you mean committee with no oversight Aug 07 22:09:27       both Aug 07 22:09:40       IT has a wiki page, barely touched. Aug 07 22:10:37 <HariSeldon>       oh Aug 07 22:10:40        And there's been nothing from them in some time Aug 07 22:11:01       I don't know when the last IT meeting was, and Bosun will be coming onboard as at least co-chair Aug 07 22:11:22 <HariSeldon>       what do you suggest then? Aug 07 22:11:35       Finishing and passing this amendment Aug 07 22:11:52 <HariSeldon>       yes, but in which format? Aug 07 22:11:54       and I'll talk with Bosun and Caleb after meeting to start. Aug 07 22:12:06 <HariSeldon>       requireing what of the committees? Aug 07 22:14:00       Required to report progress at least once every other PNC meeting, within the confines of the stated agenda or in a written report sent out to the PNC Chairperson no more than 24 hours prior to the start of a PNC meeting. Aug 07 22:14:29        Failure to report for 2 or more meetings will result in disbanding and/or reorganization of the committee in question, or removal of the committee chair at the discretion of the PNC Aug 07 22:15:25 <HariSeldon>       "subcommitees of the PNC are responsible for reporting their progress, either at each PNC meeting during the section of the agenda alloted for them, or in a written report to the chair of the PNC no more than 24 hours before the meeting. Failure to report for 2 or more meetings will result in disbanding and/or reorganization of the subcommittee in question, or removal of the subcommittee chair at the discretion of the PNC." Aug 07 22:15:26 <Bluestreak>       And the report can say "Nothing to report?" Aug 07 22:15:37 <HariSeldon>       yes, i think so Aug 07 22:15:37 <Bluestreak>        And the report can say "Nothing to report?" Aug 07 22:16:18       Bluestreak, if the report says nothign to report for some time, I'd assume the reps would be able to understand that the committee should be disbanded. Aug 07 22:16:42 <Bluestreak>       Just wanted to bring up that possibility Aug 07 22:16:58       for example, if a outreach committee is established(pulling things from the air), and they say nothing to report for a month and a half Aug 07 22:17:12       then they may need to be re-evaluated anyway. Aug 07 22:17:31 <Bluestreak>       Sure Aug 07 22:18:10 <HariSeldon>       I move to amend the bylaws of the PNC by the creation of Article VII, section 4, stating the following: "Subcommitees of the PNC are responsible for reporting their progress, either at each PNC meeting during the section of the agenda alloted for them, or in a written report to the chair of the PNC no more than 24 hours before the meeting. Failure to report for 2 or more meetings will result in disbanding and/or reorganization of the Aug 07 22:18:26 <HariSeldon>       , at the discretion of the PNC." Aug 07 22:19:37       there's a lot cut off there Aug 07 22:20:06 <HariSeldon>       ok, let me restate Aug 07 22:20:18 <HariSeldon>       I move to amend the bylaws of the PNC by the creation of Article VII, section 4, stating the following: "Subcommitees of the PNC are responsible for reporting their progress, Aug 07 22:20:29 <HariSeldon>        either at each PNC meeting during the section of the agenda alloted for them, or in a written report to the chair of the PNC no more than 24 hours before the meeting. Aug 07 22:21:03 <HariSeldon>        Failure to report for 2 or more meetings will result in disbanding and/or reorganization of the subcommittee in question, or removal of the subcommittee chair, at the discretion of the PNC." Aug 07 22:21:24       i'll take it. Aug 07 22:21:48 <Bluestreak>       YAY Aug 07 22:21:52       seconds?
