Priorities
BUSINESS
Volunteers & Council: (OLD)
(1) Achieving quality Council participation, particularly the issue of non-active-volunteers participating in Council. Free Geek wants a hard & fast rule to address lack of volunteer status as barrier to participation in Council. (2) Whether Council wants to encourage volunteer involvement, and if so, who and how.
REMAINING COMMITMENTS
- New commitments, and Carry-Overs copied from above.
- Dave - tell council when staff want to start doing commissioned sales (no need to track this here, though)
- Vagrant - tell Shannon to email us (or minutes?) with report on Relations work she has done.
