[9:13pm] Bosun: Yes
[9:14pm] Yari: Okay, motion on the table.
[9:15pm] Bosun: Be it resolved that: Articles are first submitted by the writer via a dedicated section on the USPP website. The writer does not need any roles or qualifications to submit a work. The work is then announced in a channel dedicated to the writers and editors as an article to be edited.
[9:15pm] Bosun: It is then edited by users who have been given the role of "editor" in the public discord servers, which will be given to users who ask an admin for the role and agree to follow a set of rules and guidelines based around maintaining the original idea of the article. The writer shall be able to edit alongside the editors during this process, but shall not be the final person to edit the article prior to the next step.
[9:15pm] Bosun: After the article has been edited by at least one editor, it will be brought by the editor to a moderator and the original writer (who shall not be anonymous) to confirm the submission. Upon confirmation the article will be released. If the article is denied, it shall be brought back to the editors to confirm or deny it for re-edit, If the article is denied the article will be dropped, if it is accepted it will begin at the 2nd step of
[9:15pm] Bosun:  the process once again. After the article is denied three times by a moderator or the writer, a irc meeting will be set up to discuss the article, including but not limited: to the moderators and writer involved, and any main editors of the article.
[9:15pm] Yari: Radiojoe or Joe, we could either second or ask for more discussion.
[9:15pm] Yari: Bosun thank you for pasting text.
[9:16pm] Radiojoe: I wrote this, so I'm not sure it is in the interest of democratic proceedings to give my opinion on it
[9:16pm] Joe: 2nd
[9:16pm] Yari: You are a voting member rn
[9:16pm] Yari: seconded, all in favor?
[9:17pm] Radiojoe: aye

[9:17pm] Yari: three ayes, motion passes
[9:17pm] Yari: The resolution is adopted.
[9:18pm] Yari: Okay, thank you for that productive interjection to repirts, bosun
[9:18pm] Yari: Reports
[9:18pm] wodensday: Side note - as the outreach committee, we were under the impression that this may not need PNC approval to implement as it can all be done essentially in-house. Do we have some sort of standard as to what we need to bring to the PNC? As to not bog this chat down with our own matters
[9:20pm] Yari: Wodensday, if you choose to bring something to the pnc, the pnc can choose to either shut it down or pass it. I would say broadly you can't collaborate with other committees or disburse funds
[9:20pm] Yari: But, as far as I know, there is no written rule
[9:20pm] Bosun: As long as we are small we can Keep It Simple and Stupid.
[9:20pm] Yari: We are writing the precedent as we go
[9:21pm] wodensday: Building the train as it runs down the track. Got it.
[9:21pm] Yari: each committee must report to the pnc
[9:22pm] Yari: Ergo, you are obligated to report that you have passed a resolution and that it generally contained (x)
[9:22pm] Yari: That is how i woild interpret it, at least
[9:22pm] wodensday: Yes, of course.
[9:22pm] wodensday: Understood.
[9:22pm] Yari: But by bringing tthe entire text of the resolution, it became open to pnc debate
[9:22pm] Bosun: Don't befuddle us with simple logic.
[9:22pm] Yari: Anyway, moving on.
[9:23pm] Bosun:
[9:23pm] Yari: Joe! Anything to report for platform or treasury?
[9:24pm] Joe: I spoke with Jamie about a time to meet either Tuesday or Wednesday.
[9:24pm] Yari: about?
[9:24pm] Joe: To work on the budget.
[9:24pm] Yari: Ah. Lovely!
[9:25pm] Yari: feel free to update via sab!
[9:26pm] Joe: That said, I will be on tonight on the discord if anyone wants to join me. I plan discuss foreign policy in light of things going on in Afghanistan.
[9:26pm] Yari: what time?
[9:26pm] Joe: Immediately after this meeting.
[9:27pm] Yari: Cool!
[9:27pm] Yari: Thank you.
[9:27pm] Yari: Pmchi is not present, but will be giving pamphlet to outreach at next meeting.
[9:27pm] Yari: Bosun, anything from vc?
[9:28pm] Bosun: Not at this time.
[9:28pm] Yari: moving on then! We dont have any old business!
[9:29pm] Yari: New business!
