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.
