PPaulo (WCU)

HHarpreet Chima
03:06
Yeah, I think we'll need to like fit around the committee that are sure yeah. When you are as our
HHarpreet Chima
03:32
business is a Skillshare this weekend and Hallows I asked who could come and honestly
Unknown Speaker
03:39
I'm sorry I meant to respond I saw really late respond right now.
HHarpreet Chima
03:46
Okay. So well. We will work getting Paulo and OSHA okay, I don't know if you want to decide what I did on social
PPaulo (WCU)
04:10
Alright, it's up to you guys. It doesn't matter to
Unknown Speaker
04:12
me don't do this was not so
HHarpreet Chima
04:25
we saw a board game night the next weekend after that. I don't know of any board games so if someone wants to launch who's put up do want to ask other folks to bring like food. Choose put that up or aspect membership I guess. Sounds good.
RRobert H. (WCU)
04:46
My definition we're supposed to play the landlord game right
RRobert H. (WCU)
04:55
now the original name of monopoly. It was a game made to show everyone how shitty the system is.
Unknown Speaker
05:00
actually being
RRobert H. (WCU)
05:03
keep playing just everyone in the broken one person has all the money winning
Unknown Speaker
05:10
American
Unknown Speaker
05:18
games
PPaulo (WCU)
05:21
you know as you're going through this heartbreak since you're the one who does the slides like there's anything that like ends up meeting like a vote I think like to help like Adria because I think she's going to be the next person who like chairs the meeting just to like oh yeah we got to do that I thought she knows to like ask for first and second what she does probably because you know she's had Robert's Rules before
Unknown Speaker
05:49
yeah my bet I forgot all the rules I did get was a refresher, but it was like to
Unknown Speaker
05:55
like adopt the new agenda and probably
RRobert H. (WCU)
06:00
the current rules were supposed to, unless we have one set in our bylaws. Yeah, we were supposed to set one meeting.
HHarpreet Chima
06:08
Okay, do we want to just set one in our bylaws? Yeah,
RRobert H. (WCU)
06:12
the point that the plan was just to go with it and then once we figured out one that kind of works, then we'll just set that one. Go ahead Carolyn
HHarpreet Chima
06:19
kind of works. Yeah, there
RRobert H. (WCU)
06:21
was just one or two things to change around a little.
Unknown Speaker
06:24
Okay. So should we
RRobert H. (WCU)
06:26
well, then we have to next meeting there will be a bylaws vote the following meeting.
HHarpreet Chima
06:32
But on the agenda announcement for viral education, the next meeting which will be putting our agenda formally into the bylaw Okay, so we should well okay, let's do this properly. So we want to give Adrian actually confirmed like finalized presentation so we're finding a little bit it's the general meeting that's fine. So just as the call to order roll call intro minutes of the previous section reports the members sector and distress reports of officers and committees unfinished New New Business Financial Report announcements and in German Yeah,
RRobert H. (WCU)
07:25
we we can just straight to the financial report since we said we'll do it during the other officer reports Okay, the only reason to do it later is in case you spend the money during the meeting and you want it on your amended if we do
Unknown Speaker
07:40
Yeah, that's true. Okay,
RRobert H. (WCU)
07:43
we can say we're going to spend money so we'll do the report at the end of the meeting you can just do that even if it's not
HHarpreet Chima
07:50
okay, so that's so and then where do we want to put in the bylaws to be CQ by law oh I have a private stuff make it yet as we see roughly 35 Change
Unknown Speaker
08:18
okay, I
HHarpreet Chima
08:25
whereas this file Okay, so under membership committee, I made like a website folder. And I still need to make the rotor privacy statement up. It's like it's a mash up of like my privacy statement, my campaign like as I move on, okay, let's do this. Produce you bylaws. To put it under where do we put it under governance? Like section seven sorry, here's the bylaws and chat. Bylaws here off of Google Docs, see?
RRobert H. (WCU)
09:31
Ya, yeah, that makes sense under governance. Okay, because it's like the same thing as the quorum kinda.
HHarpreet Chima
09:38
Okay, should I just move all the sections down then change quorum chain could or should we put it under a section under general meetings? Like to be okay.
Unknown Speaker
09:50
Make sense? All right.
PPaulo (WCU)
09:57
When you said you're adding a privacy statement for for meetings
HHarpreet Chima
10:00
No so the privacy statement as far I mean we need one for like color stuff so we need one for our website and for technically we need we needed one for you can use an action at work and stuff you have to link your privacy statement somewhere and we have not had one so far. Okay. But okay, so I'll put that under Section Two in general meetings so be like to be I guess to the general meetings gender okay and
HHarpreet Chima
10:43
then there is the privacy statement which is here I lost it or if you want to just quickly read it over together see if everything's okay with it
SSpeaker 1
11:31
and thanks for Friday it's eating
Unknown Speaker
11:39
ah
HHarpreet Chima
11:48
dream of this meaning to six matches the other ones Yeah, that's the only 531 Okay, yeah
SSpeaker 2
12:00
we were just talking about the I don't know how this one didn't get moved but
Unknown Speaker
12:09
that's okay. Yeah, I thought
RRobert H. (WCU)
12:17
I blamed the secretary for not properly maintaining the calendar then
HHarpreet Chima
12:26
think you have a lot one pass if you want to muck around with it. Okay. Can you guys go ahead and just real quick. Um, what are we are in September October 1. said our membership committee meeting tomorrow of education committee meeting. The third Thursday the 21st will be our next tenant union meeting
PPaulo (WCU)
12:58
but did you posted harbor I actually don't see it's section two general meetings.
HHarpreet Chima
13:03
Yeah, I didn't paste it in yet. But I'll put it on there meeting.
PPaulo (WCU)
13:44
reads like all the other privacy statements or social media accounts that I never read?
RRobert H. (WCU)
13:50
We use personal information collected via our website for a variety of business purpose.
Unknown Speaker
13:59
Sounds about right.
RRobert H. (WCU)
14:05
Yeah, nothing's jumping out to me but this kind of language is kind of floats right off the brain.
HHarpreet Chima
14:11
That's what you want. floated right off your brain.
SSpeaker 1
14:18
Okay, Saturday. Now, Tuesday. However, we didn't I don't think we're ready for but maybe we can turn it into tea with us. Ask.
HHarpreet Chima
14:46
When are we supposed to read capital by
PPaulo (WCU)
14:49
Sunday? Monday? No, no. Sunday, Sunday,
HHarpreet Chima
14:53
Sunday? Yeah. Sunday afternoon.
PPaulo (WCU)
14:57
On Sunday morning because they weren't. It's on East Coast time.
Unknown Speaker
15:03
take his time in the next two days.
PPaulo (WCU)
15:07
You can do it 20 pages a day. Well, 20 pages a day if you started reading
HHarpreet Chima
15:13
50 pages a day, okay? Seriously, I was reading Critique of the Gotha program like every other sentence I like putting too chatty, it's gonna be like explained what this means to me in context, like at the time.
PPaulo (WCU)
15:28
Every limiting capital Volume One by Karl Marx.
HHarpreet Chima
15:32
Should we invite the group so there's a we're in this discord for barn blog. And they're doing a capital raising group. And it's an barn vlog was filled with pretty smart people. Well, let's say what it is. They're a bunch of nerds. Good. So good. Gurpreet capital. What? Do you should we like, ask the customer if we can like open it up to our membership. See if people I mean, would you like to join? We're reading like the Preface. At this point.
SSpeaker 2
16:11
Yeah, I mean, I'm down to read it. I just don't know if I can read 100 pages, even in a week. That's a lot. But well, no, we've had like a month
HHarpreet Chima
16:19
old habits dying hard in terms of planning. I know.
SSpeaker 2
16:27
I feel it. I mean, I probably still would wait a week before.
HHarpreet Chima
16:31
Yeah. But I think after that they take it slow. But okay. Okay, let me ask. I guess I'll do it afterwards. Okay, so ask burn lock Dysport. HEVC. Members can join. Join. Okay. I think that'll be good. I mean, it's something that I feel like we can't do, like on our own, because I don't think any of us have read it. Maybe Riley has like audio looked at. But but I think it'd be good for us to read it.
HHarpreet Chima
17:24
Okay, so privacy statement looks good to everyone. As it's alright. I don't think you need to vote on it because it's generic dumbshit that we need to do as maintenance. So I will go ahead and title and give our website a I think we have like a link to that department. Or we have a blank Terms and Conditions bonds. So yeah. He's trying to come under conditions. That sounds promising. It's a different thing.
PPaulo (WCU)
17:55
Yet different at least with Facebook and Twitter and they have it separated.
HHarpreet Chima
18:04
Wow. Okay. Be searching. Okay. So the other thing was, so the 21st is our general like to meeting that's the third Thursday that we decided. I'm going to ask somebody's permission to change our the reading group on the 13th, which is supposed to be going towards our, like, socialism 101 series, but we've not made progress on that through the educational committee. So permission to change it into the tea reading group. So we'll have more reading on the 13th for the to you. Sounds good. Okay. And then, on the third Sunday, which is the 17th of the social board game, that is when we're supposed to be canvassing. Can we schedule canvassing before the board game and then go do the board game after weekends? Or is that too much?
SSpeaker 2
19:15
Yeah, depends. We're canvassing outside the plasma voice. Is that the point? The you know, the TV
HHarpreet Chima
19:24
stuff, so hopefully, survey Cognoa. Pardon the good folks there.
SSpeaker 2
19:34
I mean, I'm down to it. Yeah, I'm down to give it a shot to do both. I guess we'll see. We'll see what happens. Yeah, I mean, what we'll do it for as long as well. How long did it take last time?
Unknown Speaker
19:48
Like you did like an hour ago?
SSpeaker 2
19:50
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking that. I imagine we'll probably get the same response where people are super engaging.
HHarpreet Chima
20:00
Yeah, I mean when we went before for like how engaging with people before obviously we're going It's that place where we can just for the holiday rental aid
RRobert H. (WCU)
20:15
they were more receptive than I was expecting. I'd say
HHarpreet Chima
20:19
yeah like I think when you're offering help people are a little more receptive. So yeah, maybe if we're counting on stuff Hey hello so maybe if we're going to like to survey people will be more responsive. Yeah. But okay, so the so the two candidates will be for the DC social the 14 night so maybe meet the candidates that filed and then go for gain assets?
Unknown Speaker
20:55
Sounds good
HHarpreet Chima
21:02
okay I left false where we meet How will sorry. I mean, it is down the street. Should we see if I can see if I can, like, bring my dad's SUV maybe we can carpool from our meeting location over to Cavalia.
Unknown Speaker
21:35
Sure. I mean, can we walk? Is it too far?
SSpeaker 1
21:38
Oh, no, you can't walk. It's like three miles. Oh, god.
Unknown Speaker
21:41
Okay. Yeah, no.
HHarpreet Chima
21:44
Yeah. Okay. So we can offer to carpool if you want. Ashfield, barley, purple, brown meeting lactation, which reminded me Okay, the other thing. As a side note, Chad GTP, for seems really good at translations like so far, I've sent like three things over to people, like Spanish speakers, and they haven't edited any part of it. And so I think we can start just throwing shit in there and making all of our stuff bilingual, at relatively low cost. It's like a few cents per sentence. So we'll do that moving forward. I did. I don't know if we should, I guess we can research this as a separate thing. Doesn't have to go on the meeting. But there is like, I don't know, Rob, if you want to look into this, you're the most tech savvy person Yeah. Like open AI has whisper there transcribing software, like the open source transcribing software, but also translates at the same time. So you can do like, take a Spanish recording and can translate it into English. If you can investigate whether it can do that live. So you know, like someone listening to this could be listening. Like, you'd have to have another piece of software on top it to, you know, make the extra audio. But that, you know, we can make everyone sound like Spongebob but but that'd be really cool because I think a lot like lot two's like their gold standard is simultaneous translation. But, you know, they end up paying people like $50 An hour or something to do that. If they bring in outsiders like 25 an hour if they're asking wonder people to do it, because it is a lot of work and mentally fatiguing. But if we can outsource that to like a GPU, that'd be awesome. But we got to look into that. Oh, so we went to the cultural corn Day celebration. I talked to we talked with I talked to his wife and also Sandra forest. The wife seemed open to talking to us about tenant union stuff. But Sandra brought up that we could potentially do it where Louise meets and Louise meets or Louise's like community meeting place is that it's an up chain parking lot as a this car rental
Unknown Speaker
24:27
which is what was it where they did the planning
HHarpreet Chima
24:31
that like his place it's he's had it for a long time. It's like on the corner of Eldorado and march like it's down the street from where we meet basically it's a little smaller meeting place, but the idea that was floated was we could if we want to do like pennant education stuff in Spanish, then we can meet there because I know he he'll be able to draw a good crowd I'm at his location and then the only ask I think are the what we should offer offer to pay to like borrow the place for the day because he needs help paying rent for the place so that's something we can bring to the membership I guess I don't know in terms of dollars I mean we have $0 but
Unknown Speaker
25:22
we're getting up today
HHarpreet Chima
25:25
we need to schedule the time to go Yeah,
SSpeaker 2
25:28
I didn't I there's a phone number I don't know if we have to do it from what I saw we had to do it in person. Person I've just have to take a day off for some time off work then they're open on weekends.
HHarpreet Chima
25:39
Oh really? Okay. I don't know if you both need to go you might just be able to go on by yourself. Okay. Okay, let me write this down okay sorry night right please like Danya to think is oh god
HHarpreet Chima
26:22
sorry I'm forgetting someone's name, but I don't want to like say it out loud. Because it'll be on the recording
HHarpreet Chima
26:36
okay. So, I will reach out to a person and about speaking to for they know a location that would be good to farm a T Tenant Association. And talking about having a training session and space plus once we have run
PPaulo (WCU)
27:19
where a lot of the tenants that Calvillo Spanish speakers
HHarpreet Chima
27:24
know, just to just be like, separate trying to expand to Louise's place, like who is this audience? Okay. Oh, Plus membership. Renting Louise's eggs to poll
HHarpreet Chima
27:55
All right. Because even if, like those folks aren't in the tea, if you can get some, like, that'd be a good place to recruit potential tenants, you know, who already lived in the space? Okay, and then the last thing was Chris, well, what kind of person? Maybe this weekend
SSpeaker 2
28:22
we can add to look up the hours if we can go early. I mean, are my gun I mean, I could go by myself. I just need what the information that ein whatever.
SSpeaker 1
28:32
Yeah, I can give you all the documents. Okay. Yeah, I can't go I got invited some stupid thing.
HHarpreet Chima
28:40
If anyone knows about details about the homelessness issue, with regards to farmworkers, specifically, please send me information because I'm sitting on a panel about it. And and it's I think Saturday morning, so I won't be able to make the bank thing.
SSpeaker 2
29:03
I'm hoping Yeah, if you scan it over to me, I'll take a look and see what the process is.
HHarpreet Chima
29:10
Processes. I know that I know want a copy of our bylaws. Because that's what's happened before for for like, the nonprofit stuff, and I can send you a scan of the EIN number I don't know if we're supposed to make it like public because now you can just Google it right? People's EIN number? I think so. We just we can find everyone here and yeah, okay. So now it's on the
SSpeaker 2
29:39
Federal Trade Commission. Yeah, I remember looking them up. Yeah, okay,
HHarpreet Chima
29:45
whatever. I just uploaded for the drive. Okay. And I think he's, you'll have to like print out a copy of our bylaws and articles of incorporation. Okay. I can stand no, I think The ones we do, honestly, my signature are the ones that are in there, I think.
Unknown Speaker
30:06
So they need my personal information.
Unknown Speaker
30:09
Is that part of it? To open the bank?
Unknown Speaker
30:12
Is that a thing? I don't know. Yeah, I think
HHarpreet Chima
30:16
and they might need like two people on there. So I don't know if you can get like most of the setup, because when I've done it before, we've had to have two people on there's the treasurer and like one other person. Gotcha. I mean, if someone else on here wants to go, that's fine with me too. Like Saturday morning.
Unknown Speaker
30:36
When what time?
SSpeaker 2
30:38
Saturday morning, like 10 o'clock Saturday morning, today? What is it
Unknown Speaker
30:42
uncle credit unit? Yeah, we got where is it at?
Unknown Speaker
30:46
I think there's location I think it closest with
PPaulo (WCU)
30:49
5757 Pacific Avenue.
HHarpreet Chima
30:52
Yeah. In the Stone Creek village shopping center get
PPaulo (WCU)
30:55
is like where BJs is at?
HHarpreet Chima
30:59
Saturday, nine to one is their hours. So I might be, I might be able to come back to if you guys go late. But if you can go without me. Yeah,
SSpeaker 3
31:09
I might be able to do it. But I don't I don't think I have anything to do on Saturday morning. So
HHarpreet Chima
31:17
I share all our hopes and dreams of getting to set up wrestling.
Unknown Speaker
31:23
I try and try and get also that.
SSpeaker 3
31:27
Because like because the according to the bylaws. I'm Vice President right? Yeah. Yeah. So that should be there should be good enough for like a Yeah, treasurer and vice president should be good. Yeah, imagine.
HHarpreet Chima
31:37
Yeah, I don't really think the second person needs to be on a steering, it just has to be some person. So the treasurer can't like steal all the money. And so scalar ones of dollars and runaway
SSpeaker 3
31:55
steel are the large reserve of T shirts that we use. Valley warping, we
SSpeaker 2
32:04
have assets. Yeah, I think that's all we get.
HHarpreet Chima
32:08
Okay. And then. So Canvas, the other the other candidate thing day is supposed to be the fourth Sunday, but hopefully. So should we set up one more sensitive stuff is like moving very slowly, which is partly my fault. But still, we were going to change the 13. Riley, for socialism on a one to t reading group to continue what we're doing last Yeah. All right, that works. Can we set up like one more meeting? Maybe next week? Also an additional reading group, maybe something that's well hang on to this. I guess what do we do we need to move forward, we actually need kind of a look into how other people have done like they're trying to organize an area outside of just like handing out a survey.
SSpeaker 3
33:05
Yeah. Alright. So I've been I've been reading a bunch of Cleveland's like, stuff that they have up. They actually have quite a bit of documentation on there. On their tenant union work, and so I was like, I've been working on the like the membership membership handbooks and the tenant handbook and all that kind of stuff. So it that that maybe would be a good thing to focus on as far as like, like, we could do it. We could spend that instead of doing we could do like you have a research session, basically.
HHarpreet Chima
33:49
Yeah. Do we want to do that on top of the reading group or do that at the reading group?
Unknown Speaker
33:54
Either either ones fine with me? When what if it was separate? When would you want to do it?
HHarpreet Chima
34:04
Next Monday, Tuesday or Friday?
SSpeaker 3
34:07
Okay, Tuesday definitely isn't work because I've dinner with my family. Monday, my work on Monday would probably be better than
HHarpreet Chima
34:17
the after candidates on that Sunday. So we should probably figure stuff out on Monday and then continue doing stuff out throughout the week.
Unknown Speaker
34:27
Yeah, that that probably I think that works for me.
HHarpreet Chima
34:31
about everyone else. For so, yeah. So Monday evening, I guess set up like a to like research meeting to just kind of talk through what Ken was saying would look like on Sunday.
Unknown Speaker
34:47
Yeah, tactics and strategies and all that stuff.
HHarpreet Chima
34:52
That can work for anyone else.
Unknown Speaker
34:54
I think so.
PPaulo (WCU)
34:55
6pm? Yeah. Good.
HHarpreet Chima
34:58
All right. 6pm Monday, September September, lovin really guys
Unknown Speaker
35:07
yeah perfect you watch the FBI just crashes in through our
HHarpreet Chima
35:18
just know not great on all our.
SSpeaker 3
35:20
Yeah. Like you're planning something until you tell people
HHarpreet Chima
35:28
okay, it is legit concern.
SSpeaker 3
35:31
I know it's only a half inch well it's like it's like 75% a job.
Unknown Speaker
35:37
I don't think we can get recode yet
HHarpreet Chima
35:39
there's not enough of us. No money going back and forth. Yeah. Be careful accept money from out of state.
SSpeaker 3
35:49
Well, yeah, yeah. That would legitimately
HHarpreet Chima
35:56
Okay, that's Yeah, I think that's all I had for this month. Like, let's do some heavy T research and reading. Let's get a program put in place. And then on the 17th to next weekend, we'll head up this neighborhood. See how it goes? Oh, so I guess how far along are you on like a handbook or something?
SSpeaker 3
36:22
The Member Handbook I got about, um, I don't know, like 10 pages and or something. And the tenant handbook, I've got, like, I have like two pages. Most of it like half of it's basically just a description of like, landlords duties and tenants duties, that kind of stuff. I can send you the link to it. So.
HHarpreet Chima
36:51
Okay. I mean, I think someone else was saying that they've had a lot of success, just because I was complaining about how, you know, even the articles that we read the three that we had, it was like so focused on like, and yeah, we were talking about this park cleanup, like it's focused on like the nonprofit problem, but like, unless you're in the nonprofit world, and are now like leaving the nonprofit world. You're not really gonna it's not doesn't really apply for like, intro. But people were saying that the lot to one, that they've had a lot of success just like handing that out. And so maybe we can take a look at that one. And, like, adopt it. And then hop on link or at least Yeah,
SSpeaker 3
37:39
it will their their. Their tenant handbook is like three volumes. I think. So like the the law 210 Like handbook is very long. It's a It's 70 pages. Well, there's three vault there's three different volumes to it. Oh, are there? Yeah. I don't I think that the second one is the one that we probably need. I think as far as like, the most like important like important stuff. But I mean, we'd have to go over it. Yeah, like know your rights. Yeah. Rent Stabilization know your rights. You know, harassment, all that kind of stuff.
HHarpreet Chima
38:19
Your reporting violations.
Unknown Speaker
38:21
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
HHarpreet Chima
38:24
Also, this was for a mug I dropped like this is their, like, stupid, breathing thing that they have for their cadre? Yeah, yes. So this is what they got for them, like an online printer. And they got it printed there. And it seems fine. Like it's not shitty or anything, like the bindings hold up, and it's pretty cheap. Like, I think we can get the LA tenant union handbook printed there for fairly cheap, like maybe a couple of dollars per book. Maybe good. Maybe a bit more. But yeah, we put something that's like 50 pages big. Maybe we can go to them and get it printed. Again, our local union place will be shoe pricing for putting together but I don't even have to do books. But I can't do it. No good actually. But okay, so can you link your handbook? Really?
SSpeaker 3
39:23
Yeah, well, you want the tenant one right? Yeah. The tenant ones like barely even started. Yeah,
HHarpreet Chima
39:29
that's fine. Work on handbook and then let me link the how do I link a lot to handbook?
Unknown Speaker
39:39
I probably have to share it with you. Folks.
HHarpreet Chima
39:49
How do you okay, sorry he's been by or can handbook. Use this as a guide? Okay, so in terms of voting next week, we don't have a whole lot. Do we want any sort of? Do we want to do anything else at the next meeting? And it's going to be in person and stuff. And we have a pretty slim agenda, I think, should we ask a walk? Or should we ask TSA to come? via online? Maybe present their idea for Ewok? Yes, PSL is out, by the way.
SSpeaker 3
40:27
Oh, they are? Yeah. Did they give a reason
HHarpreet Chima
40:31
their person is moving to Arizona. So right now as a standard that we have for, we don't have for people so we could volunteer for it. Which I think we talked about the last meeting too. So I don't think anything like work it. Has anyone made let us reach out to them and say we can offer to people. But should we ask them to come to the meeting? Just come talk to us online?
RRobert H. (WCU)
41:03
If they're available? Yeah. Yeah. To meeting to talk about you. Okay. And if we don't have something for our general meetings, we can always adapt kenning union stuff for anything else that needs to get done?
HHarpreet Chima
41:19
Yeah, that's what I was gonna ask. Right now, all we have is we're gonna put the agenda in our bylaws like the notification for us. We're not even voting on it. We're updating upon a bunch of meetings, for the TV stuff. Louise maganda. stuff has honestly, it's more TV stuff. I believe it would be on paying Louise for renting this place, like how much we want to pay. But we'd have any money. So that's not really knowledgeable, both there. Yeah, we don't have anything. I'm sure we do some team stuff. It will be on Thursday. So at this point, we'll have to read in groups, like a research meeting and the reading group meeting done by that point.
Unknown Speaker
42:06
Give me one second, and I'm in a meeting. I didn't hear the end of that.
HHarpreet Chima
42:12
We'll have like two meetings done by them. So we'll have our research meeting on Monday. We'll have a reading group on Wednesday, both on PC stuff. So should we have something on to be preparing something for Thursday? Since you have a general meeting to talk about to start?
SSpeaker 3
42:27
Yeah, that would probably be a good idea. Do you want it? So? Do you want to do like practice like we did last time? Or do you want to do like a broader overview of like tactics and strategies? Like what do you want to What are you thinking?
HHarpreet Chima
42:42
I don't know. Like, how helpful was it last time our practice? Like I know, practice makes you better at it? Yeah. So do we want to?
SSpeaker 3
42:51
Like it's not I don't think it's a bad idea is like the you know, we if that if, like, if it's not cutting into like regular business, it's probably a good idea.
RRobert H. (WCU)
43:02
If the practice was good, I think it would be more helpful if like, we had a more set, like, example, to go on beforehand. Like a play acted out what we're trying to get across, you know what I mean? Instead of just saying, Okay, you guys in profit.
HHarpreet Chima
43:20
Yeah. Okay, so maybe, by Monday, Wednesday, have an idea about what we're going to be doing on Sunday. And then practice that on the Thursday meeting. Yeah. Which will be, you know, either like serving slash introducing people to the idea of WC, EU, and joining like, T u and possibly forming a TA. Like, I guess that's this. I mean, we need to do a bit more research. But like, that seems like the process of like, there's a to you, you can join a to you. But the ultimate goal is to form a tenant association at your neighborhood, or your complex or whatever. And so we can ask people, if you have the bank setup, you can actually ask them to try and if they want, and then hopefully if we have some material online, I feel like even if the handbook like block consent book is largely copied, copy, pasted it on our website. Anyway, that's enough to convince people to try.
SSpeaker 3
44:17
Yeah, I mean, the I was also like, thinking that because Cleveland's tenant union stuff, they have, like progressive tiers of information. So they have like a FAQ. Like if you have like, you know, if you just want a quick overview, they have that so like, I've been trying to like, copy that like tiered structure of like, little bit information, little more information, and then just the lot to Handbook of information
HHarpreet Chima
44:49
when you linked their stuff there to us though. I don't think I've ever sat on the website. Okay, so We'll do that. Okay. So at this meeting, largely not really anything besides the agenda. Maybe we'll talk about Ewok in person. And then we'll just do like a PDU. Training session by them. Yeah, cool. Okay. Particularly training session for
SSpeaker 3
45:28
oh, I might be wrong is I think it's it's two volumes, not three volumes. Okay.
HHarpreet Chima
45:34
Okay. Sounds good. That's about half an hour, or about an hour meeting. So anyone else got anything?
PPaulo (WCU)
45:43
You'd like to say this was like when you're if you're not the one. If the person who's chairing the meeting? Isn't the one presenting the slide you should probably put presented by so they know to go to you. And you're
HHarpreet Chima
45:55
okay. Yeah. Versus Can I write something about that sounds? Oh. And also pretend to lie. All right.
RRobert H. (WCU)
46:09
Did we want to reach out to Adrian to see if you want to do like a half hour thing? Wednesday beforehand? Yeah, just to go over it. Or just like you said, it won't be much, but just we can.
HHarpreet Chima
46:20
Okay, just so anyone? Can I just leave it up to everyone? Like one of us will meet with her to talk about it if she wants to talk about it? Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
46:34
Alright, Adri
Unknown Speaker
46:37
she, she volunteered or she was volunteer.
SSpeaker 3
46:39
Well, she's been she's been, I don't know what she volunteered for. But she's been helping me with the editing the the handbook a little bit so Oh, that's great. Oh, that reminds me, we should probably come up with a like membership. code of conduct that like defines what in good standing means that we have a code of conduct. We do. Okay, good. Great.
RRobert H. (WCU)
47:05
Amazing. And I think it had a definition of good standing. Yeah, no,
SSpeaker 3
47:08
the bylaws do. I just didn't if it's there, I just missed it. Yeah. Yeah. Okay, great. Perfect. Thank you
HHarpreet Chima
47:26
Sorry. I feel like it's very quick don't harass, don't miss or represent it. See,
SSpeaker 3
47:39
ya know, okay, this is great. This is way more detailed. Okay, great. Perfect.
Unknown Speaker
47:44
I'm
Unknown Speaker
47:46
like 10 times longer than any of the other
HHarpreet Chima
47:52
Hey, we were no this is good. This is good. We have a whole section on how to do or that you need to do constructive criticism not that we really outlined how to do it. But that it must be done. Oh, this membership approval for using air table for cracking. I guess we should be tracking time.
Unknown Speaker
48:16
Money in the future. Yeah.
HHarpreet Chima
48:19
And and member information. I think it's probably the easiest way to do it since that's something that we're always been asking and maybe asks up there. Yeah, why don't you see their table we're gonna use it anyways. Like membership tasks.
Unknown Speaker
48:35
Use it for everything. Yeah, people do.
HHarpreet Chima
48:38
So what's the honestly what the pricing is for? I know it was $20 a month for 50,000 Okay, so yeah, most of it ends up being $20 a month for us. Like not yet but once we have 1000 records which I think is 1000 rows but we're not hitting that anytime soon. Okay, so I think yeah, we'll just to I guess we'll start working on it have something to present to the membership by next week about what it would look like to see if they're okay with it. All right. Anything else? Anyone got anything in mind?
Unknown Speaker
49:33
Hopefully by
HHarpreet Chima
49:34
the end of next month. My personal goal is that the to use that is somewhat in full swing the once you have online stuff like an online portal for recruiting tenants would be good. Yeah. And then I think there was, oh, there's a pledge. Someone had applied researching idea. Sorry. Well, I'm looking for a plan of action defense. which I signed to do the union pledge. But I think we found or I found a way to do surveys online without using type form. To my thanks. Okay about employees, this is their pledge.
Unknown Speaker
50:18
Jesus Christ you pledge, but I guess we should sign up on membership.
HHarpreet Chima
50:32
It doesn't have to be exactly this. I honestly haven't read most of this, but something like this. And I think they asked people to, like, fill out the pledge to join the union. So it's a bit of like a code of conduct type thing for joining. So I don't think it needs to be this detailed for us on some of the stuff
HHarpreet Chima
51:02
but maybe more about what it would mean just to be in the to you, instead of having Code of Conduct stuff in here. I was gonna say, Oh, okay. With regards to the newspaper, blog thing. Oh. I was gonna say, should we, if we keep even a blog on web flow, which is what our website is, then on the homepage, we can have like little slider that has our most recent articles. But I think we can set that up it goes to so. Okay, nevermind, forget it better. Okay, I'm done. But no one has anything. And that's all right. All right. So see you guys tomorrow at the membership committee meeting? Yeah. Whatever we're doing.
SSpeaker 3
52:06
I think we're probably we're probably going to talk about the, the pipeline, I think. And I, because like I would like to use because the membership committee is not so much about, like, educating people. So I would kind of like to use it as a Yeah, a workshop for the pipeline. And for, I think specifically for, like, you know, ensuring that the members that we currently have are, like, aware of like, you know, what we would like to see from them, and also what new like, what bringing new members in looks like. So, yeah, I think that's probably enough for one meeting.
HHarpreet Chima
52:56
Okay. Yeah, I think we kind of talked about how to get new people but didn't really have any solid plans. So yeah, that's
SSpeaker 3
53:04
the part that we need to Yeah, figure out some like actual tactics and then go start implementing them.
HHarpreet Chima
53:12
Yes, you know, he'll tell the Democrats tell the unions and then people enjoy.
Unknown Speaker
53:22
Yeah, that's definitely one of definitely one of the ways
PPaulo (WCU)
53:24
Perfect.
HHarpreet Chima
53:26
Alright. Anyone else?
SSpeaker 2
53:29
No. Riley, I'll I'll hit you up about Saturday.
