Summary

Committee reports

Term Limit By-law

Bosun suggested: A candidate is docked a vote for each year of prior service. So if we have three states voting and someone has served three years, they could not run. With ranked voting you could simply subtract. So the limit is an anti bias in the ranked voting.

The issue was tabled indefinitely by a vote of two ayes and one abstain.

Donations

Suggested plan:

  • File with the FEC
  • Determine our existing expenses
  • Have a public budget for the year by end of September 2021. It will cover remainder of the year and be used as the basis for 2022 budget
  • Determine list of fundraising options for review by PNC

Discussion:

  • Mitch suggested having people earmark where their money goes. Jokeefe suggested that is a good goal, but we are too small.
  • Bosun suggests we set a threshold where we would need to exceed before we start a finance committee.
  • Yari suggested that PNC should decide where the money is allocated.
  • Bosun suggested deciding on the budget by end of September.

Suggested plan passed with a vote of 3-0.
