Where is the report from the Receiving Exploratory internship that is now ending?

Who made the proposal? How did it come about?

The Staff Collective formed a Receiving Committee to look at the issue of how to staff receiving shifts following the current internship. The receiving committe forwarded their suggestions to the staff collective and the proposal was sketched out by the staff collective and the HR committee. The proposal ideas were then presented at the council meeting but the actual proposal text was not available, so it is being worked out right now.

What happens to receiving while we sort this out?

Matthew's shifts are still on the schedule. After Matthew's internship ends (beginning March 25) these shifts will be covered by existing staff or substitute workers until a longer term solution is settled upon.
