Steering Committee Minutes
August 2, 2012
The Steering Committee met on August 2, 2012 with the following members present: Alex Easton Brown, Regina Carey, Ferrell Parker, Robert Manning, Julio Nunez, John Beggiato, Brigham Adams, Dawn Hale and Kian.
The status of NationBuilder was discussed. Robert Manning has offered to pay for the month of August so we can get the information needed to get the Website up and running. Regina is in the process of getting the email list for all the delegates and will have it completed when we have access to Nation Builder again.
Alex is to open a checking account at a bank in CA and John will open a PayPal account once we have a checking account. Discussion of fund raising was delayed until the next meeting.
John and Brigham will be in touch with Robert Hill to see what he needs to get the website up and to discuss what is to be offered on the site. Further discussion of the website was delayed until the discussion with Robert Hill takes place.
Julio reported on the work of the style committee and said that work is going forward and the petition for redress of grievances will be completed soon. Members of the Steering committee voiced their appreciation for the work the style committee is doing and look forward to seeing the completed document. The document is expected to be completed by Monday.
There was some discussion of having greater transparency and better communication between the Steering Committee and the Delegates. Dawn suggested having a secretary take minutes of the meetings and then posting them on the facebook page and the forum for the delegates to have access to. There was also some discussion of adding members to the Steering committee. Further discussion of this was tabled until the next meeting. It was suggested that Dawn be the secretary and she agreed to take minutes, make them available to the delegates and to set the agenda for meetings with everyone’s input on what they want to have on the agenda.
The next meeting was set for August 9, 2012, at 8pm EST.
This is just a summary. I was not taking the minutes until the end of the meeting.
