[Businessmtg] Motion #4 Suggestion

[Steve Rankin]

Hi Jerry,
This is much better, thank you.  We are very nearly on the same page with only a couple of details different between what you are saying, and what we are recommending.
1.  Disbanding the Web Master position - we're on the same page completely.
2.  Elect a Group Representative, with voice and vote on Steering Committee.  Again, we're on the same page exactly.
3.  Elected officers on the Steering Committee may request assistance from one or both of the Founders.  Yep, we're still in 100% agreement.
4.  Upkeep of the website delegated to the Secretary, who may have an assistant.  Here we have two slightly different versions.  Yours says the Secretary may request volunteer member support.  The SC's version goes further and allows the Secretary to appoint an assistant.  The only real difference is that the SC's version considers the Secretary's assistant an official service position that counts towards serving on the Steering Committee.  As a service position, this position could be especially valuable as a true intro into service on the Steering Committee, much like the Greeter position has served us over the years.
Hugs,
Steve

Subject: [Businessmtg] Motion #4 Suggestion

Biz-Pals,

Instead of exchanging might-be's and possibly making no headway may I suggest this in the hopes of gaining a consensus:

I would easily support a motion which included these three elements:

1) The Webmaster position is disbanded,
2) ASP is to create an elected Group Representative position, said Group Representative is to have voice and vote on ASP's Steering Committee, and
3) Elected ASP officers can, when necessary, request and receive temporary assistance from one or both parties holding ASP's two Founder seats.

This makes it clear that there would be no SC seat count changes and that the Founder's support is authorized when and if needed.

Somewhere in recent BM history I clearly recall a suggestion that we consider naming the Founders as the sole interpreters of the intent of our passed motions and existing policies. I would stand strongly against such a notion. Hopefully I just came up with this thought in a bad dream 😳. If so I'm playing my Old Man Card and pleading involuntary surmising!

In service,
Old Man Jerry
