[9:17pm] Poet: yep
[9:18pm] sayyida: well Joe O did not respond
[9:18pm] jtk__: We need a treasurer - even an acting will due. It can't be the chair.
[9:18pm] jokeefe: I noted who accepted in the meeting wiki page
[9:19pm] sayyida: yep
[9:19pm] jtk__: Is that it for this week?

[9:20pm] sayyida: one last stonewall
[9:21pm] jtk__: What?
[9:21pm] sayyida: no one else is here. Joe picked up his ball and went home
[9:21pm] jtk__: sigh
[9:21pm] jokeefe: I wouldn’t characterize it that way
[9:22pm] sayyida: well how else should I take him leaving and throwing a tantrum of emotion?
[9:22pm] sayyida: that is the only logical explanation I can come up with
[9:23pm] sayyida: he left because he was emotionally hurt after a rough week
[9:23pm] jtk__: Some people get overly emotional. Best too back off.
[9:23pm] sayyida: jtk__: that may be true, but he also had a professional obligation to at least respond with a decline
[9:24pm] jtk__: We should heal the wounds with kindness.
[9:25pm] jokeefe: aye
[9:25pm] jtk__: We vote an acting treasurer at the first meeting and move on.
[9:25pm] sayyida: who do we have jtk__
[9:25pm] jtk__: If he comes back and accepts then it is. his.
[9:26pm] jtk__: The wiki list.  #2 or Scribe can be acting.

[9:27pm] sayyida: well if he would of taken a nap he wouldnt be awake
[9:28pm] kusa_chan: aslo need a swarmwise manager
[9:28pm] sayyida: too many postions not enough bodies
[9:28pm] kusa_chan: So why is that an issue?
[9:29pm] kusa_chan: Why were so many positions put in?
[9:29pm] sayyida: *sigh*
[9:29pm] jokeefe: optimism
[9:29pm] jtk__: Joe O's idea.
[9:29pm] sayyida: Joe insisted we need more board members
[9:29pm] sayyida: to delegate the problems
[9:29pm] sayyida: right thought
[9:29pm] sayyida: however, not enough bodies
[9:29pm] jokeefe: Swarmwise suggests leaving positions open for new people to step into
[9:30pm] jokeefe: Key ones are Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and Secretary
[9:30pm] sayyida: I say cut it back to 3
[9:30pm] jtk__: Recruit then make positions active
[9:30pm] sayyida: good enough
[9:30pm] jokeefe: You cannot have a secretary = treasurer
