[Businessmtg] Discussion

[Lynne]

Hi everyone,

So I am a little confused. Are we talking about telling the WSO that we 
are now 8 (or more) meetings in one AFG so that ASP can be listed at 
various days/times on the WSO search engine? Instead of our one current 
24/7 listing.

If that is the case, why does this involve any discussion of change in 
our subscription model or greeting process? Can't we just tell the WSO 
that we are one group that has meetings at 8am ET, noon ET, 4pm ET (to 
use the example that a WhatsApp group uses - forgot who mentioned that) 
every day and that be it? Do we have to actually CHANGE anything at ASP 
in any way, shape, or form? I thought this was pretty much about making 
use of the flawed system of the WSO search results. I mean, when I open 
my email at 11am PT on a Tuesday, that is when the meeting starts for 
me. That is the beauty of a 24/7 meeting, so I feel that whatever 
days/times we list as our meeting times to the WSO, they are accurate as 
we meet at all times. And we wouldn't have to change anything at ASP. Am 
I missing something?

I also want to be very cautious about us making any changes to our 
subscription model as it is hard enough for people to get the hang of 
the simple subscription model that we have now.

And I agree with others who have mentioned optimizing our website so 
that we can better appear in searches - I think this is something the SC 
can work on over time. But we are short staffed. And I have just 
informed the the SC that at some point in the next few months, I will no 
longer be able to be the acting Secretary (I will stay as List 
Administrator) due to another upcoming commitment. Which means that 
unless someone steps up to volunteer to one of the open positions on the 
SC, one of the other SC members will have to step into be Acting 
Secretary, in addition to their current roles. Not a great time to be 
adding things to our to do list.

Hugs,

Lynne
