Minutes
Record of the meeting
[9:02pm] Bosun: OK Please Identify. [9:02pm] Yari joined the chat room. [9:02pm] Sayyida: Megan Klein Vice chair Wi [9:02pm] jokeefe: James O’Keefe, Secretary, Massachusetts [9:02pm] Yari: Rose Klein, California [9:02pm] Bosun: Joe Klein USPP chair [9:02pm] Joe: Joseph Onoroski, Treasurer, Massachusetts [9:02pm] pmchi joined the chat room. [9:03pm] Sayyida: ahoy pmchi identify please [9:03pm] pmchi: Ahoy! Mitchel Davilo, Chicago/ILPP [9:03pm] Sayyida: so that's everyone [9:03pm] Sayyida: Bosun, you are asking for the elections? [9:04pm] Bosun: I don't think we have a fixed date in the bylaws, do we? [9:04pm] Yari: no it just says once per year [9:05pm] Sayyida: hey the sooner the better for me [9:05pm] Joe: ? [9:06pm] Joe: Is everything alright Sayyida? [9:06pm] jokeefe: It has a reference to occuring at an Annual meetig, but then makes no mention as to when that should occur or what form it should take [9:06pm] Bosun: I am suggesting the election being held from the last Sunday in Maay to the first Sunday in June. That would provide a six month offset from fall elections. [9:06pm] Sayyida: Joe, I am wanting to retire, and elections will allow me to do that [9:07pm] Sayyida: I am likely busy the last sunday of may [9:07pm] Sayyida: I may be going to my dad memorial service in the forests of PA [9:07pm] Joe: May we make the elections like a poll through our wiki? [9:07pm] Bosun: It is a week long window to vote. [9:08pm] Bosun: I am not picky about procedure as long as it is transparent and hones. [9:09pm] Joe: Agreed Bosun [9:09pm] Bosun: honest ... [9:09pm] jokeefe: I like the idea of tying it to an annual meeting. We could have a virtual meeting during that period, culminating in the election [9:10pm] Yari: agreed [9:10pm] jokeefe: perhaps a series of video chats/talks on different issues that are live streamed [9:10pm] Sayyida: agreed jokeefe [9:10pm] Sayyida: make it an event! [9:10pm] Joe: Election Start on that day? Seems good. Perhaps we can have our annual meeting in D.C. When this is all said and done with the Pandemic as well. [9:10pm] Bosun: OK - nominations by last Sunday of May and Vote of first Sunday of June? [9:11pm] jokeefe: Perhaps over a two or three week period? [9:11pm] Bosun: Annual Meeting on vote day? [9:11pm] Sayyida: sounds good to me [9:12pm] Joe: Yeah, so we can openly discuss and have the give such candidates for the council an opportunity to be known. [9:12pm] Bosun: I like even number - two weeks? 2nd to last Sunday in May? [9:12pm] Joe: Umm, sorry for the grammer [9:13pm] Sayyida: Bosun, so announce between second to last sunday and may 30th will be open for nominations [9:13pm] Sayyida: and discussion for the week of may 30th [9:13pm] Sayyida: election first sunday in june? [9:14pm] jokeefe: Sounds lovely [9:14pm] Sayyida: yep! [9:15pm] jokeefe: best to announce everything soon. [9:15pm] Joe: I really like it because having the annual meeting before the new council starts takes the pressure off of a newly minted council. [9:15pm] jokeefe: Save the date / register now …. etc. [9:15pm] Bosun: Can @jokeefe craft that as a bylaw amendment then we vote on it next week? [9:16pm] jokeefe: bylaws just say we have to have an annual meeting, not what form it should take [9:16pm] Bosun: We can put in the wiki, blog, and on the mail list. [9:16pm] jokeefe: aye [9:17pm] jokeefe: I can setup signup / registration forms [9:18pm] Sayyida: cool [9:18pm] Sayyida: we have 12 min left [9:18pm] Sayyida: any other updates? [9:18pm] Bosun: I am suggesting bylaw revision because we do this dance every year. [9:19pm] jokeefe: ok, will draft something and put it up for review [9:19pm] Joe: There is a meeting for the education plank tonight [9:19pm] Sayyida: good idea jokeefe [9:19pm] Joe: Which should be ready for final approval before you next week. [9:20pm] Bosun: Education - yes, we are for education. [9:20pm] Bosun: Cool. Then make it so. [9:20pm] Joe: All in all, not much has changed from the Mass version of the plank. We have discussed it though [9:20pm] Joe: Thank you [9:21pm] Sayyida: anything else? [9:21pm] jokeefe: are we agreed on the timeline? [9:21pm] Sayyida: yes [9:21pm] pmchi: Second to last week of May is the set deadline? Two weeks to vote? [9:22pm] Bosun: Yes. [9:22pm] Sayyida: correct pmchi [9:22pm] pmchi: Excellent [9:22pm] Sayyida: we have 8 min left [9:23pm] Sayyida: motion to adjourn if nothing else is left [9:23pm] Bosun: 2nd?

[9:23pm] jokeefe: no objection [9:24pm] Yari: none [9:24pm] pmchi: None [9:24pm] Sayyida: motion passes [9:24pm] Bosun: ok then we are adjourned. [9:24pm] Sayyida: good night everyone [9:24pm] Yari: outreach meeting on tuesday [9:24pm] Momma_turtle left the chat room. (Quit: Leaving) [9:24pm] Sayyida left the chat room.
