Transcript

[17:30] Joshua Nelson: Keri just called me, she's just parking her car then should be on in a few minutes. We'll give her 5 minutes then start

[17:30] Joshua Nelson: (easier than repeating an entire item mid-meeting)

[17:31] Rick Hanton: Fine w/ me. I'm finishing up our club's budget for the school year.

[17:31] Matt Cannella: should be a short meeting anyways, no?

[17:31] Joshua Nelson: At present the agenda is: 1) CoC Agenda (Grant), 2) ISDC Updates (Ryan), 3) Vote on in person Exec Meeting last week in May, 4) TPS update

[17:31] Joshua Nelson: relatively short, yes

[17:33] Matt Cannella: kk

[17:35] Joshua Nelson: K, well getting started

[17:36] Joshua Nelson: First up, CoC Agenda. Grant?

[17:36] Grant Atkinson: alrighty

[17:37] Grant Atkinson: like i was saying before the start of the meeting

[17:37] Grant Atkinson: i'd like to hear any input y'all have on what agenda items should be on this week's CoC meeting

[17:37] Grant Atkinson: so far I have:

[17:37] Grant Atkinson: 1) the change to dues policy tabled at the last meeting

[17:37] Grant Atkinson: 2) ISDC update

[17:38] Grant Atkinson: 3) Voting on in-person CoC meeting

[17:38] Grant Atkinson: 4) IYA outreach ideas discussion

[17:38] Grant Atkinson: that seems like a pretty healthy list in itself

[17:38] Grant Atkinson: but if there's anything i'm missing let me know

[17:38] Matt Cannella: can we just throw a shoutout for SEDSHouse?

[17:38] Joshua Nelson: Executive Board meeting decisions from the previous month?

[17:38] Grant Atkinson: we could include that as part of the ISDC update

[17:38] Matt Cannella: kk

[17:38] Matt Cannella: sounds good, thanks

[17:38] Grant Atkinson: exec board update is a standard part of the meeting

[17:38] Grant Atkinson: sorry i forgot to mention it
