Okay, so I don't have Robbie uploaded yet, but I guess I just do that later. Here's the document. Nope.
It looks like the last
I checked earlier today and I didn't see them.
Yeah, I don't see him right now. So, okay.
There's our minutes Okay, so just I guess the rapid fire and you can fill it out afterwards but you have to be the meeting host
after schedule birthday, Robbie and forum
November 9, General Meeting Minutes for approval on the next agenda. Alright.
Oh, you got it already. Okay, cool.
Thanks. Okay.
Quorum, okay. So the bylaws were, like two weeks before, which hypothetically, not like post them on the 18th on the forum, and then we can finalize them on the first. But I think let's not do that. Let's just fully talked about them on the first and dedicate more time to them. So rarely, when, I guess call it two since you were on the last one. We need like a second day for by law review.
Yeah. So when you look at the free
the most fun part of the day, how?
Yeah, this is gonna be after the next general meeting. Nobody
should do it before. So that way we can set we can present like all the bylaws that we wanted to before that we didn't finalize them on the March meeting.
What the I don't actually remember what days we said we were going to do whatever it is that we're going to do, do you remember from the last meeting? Yeah,
there will be Thursday's I believe the other working meeting was on the 29th. On the 27th is our kitchen. And then I believe the other Thursday's, we're also building
are we doing anything? The 22nd? The Monday the 22nd? Or should we do should we do more preparation for the teacher and on that day?
Is that the only other day you're free?
I am not. I'm basically just not free on Tuesday nights. Let me think about what else? I don't have to do music right now. Yeah, I think I'm just I think I'm just not free on Tuesday nights right now.
Hello, what about you? Are you feel like on the Wednesday? Like on the 25th we have our canvassing and on the 18th we have camps canvaschamp weeks now? Yes.
Was it the 18th and or was it the 25th and the and the eighth
or was it Yes. 25th tonight? Sorry, part 30. And afterwards? Okay.
Sorry, which one is say were you talking about that you wanted to do it?
And you do this? What about this one today? Or next one today? Either one works right? 17 or 24?
I think I can do it on either of those days. Yeah,
I can do it on the 17th
Okay, let's do 70
Oh, it might be a little bit later in the evening, though at like 630 or something if it's on the 17th
Sure, yeah. Okay, well that's it Yeah. All right. Okay, I'm just adding to change. There's a file that actually said that he just posted online two weeks before the meeting. You can get approved
two weeks before would be the 25th. Right. So we
are the ATF not only should probably remember that and just take the full month to change the bylaws. Did
we? Did we approve changing the days of the meetings to the first Thursday or a month? Yes. Yeah, we did. Okay, cool. And then Monday, but I actually probably can't make it to that meeting.
February 1. Yeah.
Cuz it's my birthday. And I have a feeling something's,
if I make want to spend it discussing bylaws with us, I
actually kind of do a little bit.
happy early birthday. Oh, thank you.
Okay. And we can we will have some preparation. The campaign will have something to say, Oh, boy.
Yeah, we really need to.
Yeah. And then recruitment. So we don't have anything scheduled for recruitment? I don't think that needs to be voted on. It's like,
No, I'm pretty sure. Yeah. So people were saying a couple of different things. First of all, I mean, the teaching is potentially a recruitment thing.
Well, that's our answer. Join us. Join
us. Join us. The I feel like somebody was saying something about doing at tabling at Delta to I don't remember where I saw that.
Yeah. Unless I was saying, oh, let's I was saying the podcast. Yeah. And that school starts soon for recruitment. School been out?
It was probably, oh,
you're being a student?
It's usually like a two to three weeks. Yeah.
Much time off. You're amazing.
Okay. Here we can talk about recruitment at the meeting, then. Well, unless you already have.
I didn't. I did. I wanted I kind of wanted to see what the what the delta podcast was all about before we, you know, just go like, Yeah, let's do that. But it would be good to it would be good to tabling we've been planning to do it for a while. And you know, we need to focus on recruitment for this year for this six month period, for sure. Okay,
so do you want to like set aside a slide to schedule a day with everyone? Yeah,
I think that's probably the best. The the problem the problem with the with tabling is that it has to be during the day, you know, and during the week, which basically precludes me and like anybody else who works during the day from going. So it's kind of hard for me to like, schedule it and be like, Hey, we're gonna do it this day, because I just can't participate.
Yeah, did they need to know a specific date Hello, and advance or just that we wanted to table
they need to know a specific day in advance, you need to fill out the form and submit it, I believe, at least two weeks prior to when you want to do it. Yeah. And then you need to hand or give copies of anything that you plan to hand out when you're there. Oh, really. And they're going to provide their own tables, you don't bring your own table and anyone who shows up has to sign into the office and get like a visitor's pass and everything
so cringy what happened to the days when you could just walk onto a campus and do whatever you wanted?
I mean, I was thinking ideally like if spring semester is just starting if someone Christine I mean goes to downside there she was at least last semester, if we can somehow plan it alongside when they're doing like club rush when they're like having tables outside Danner halls so we can sort of blend in even though we're not like a student forum like body
Don't join one of the school organizations join our organization. Oh, cool. Is this the radio?
Oh man. Yeah. So I just from what I did is they have a radio channel. And they also have student newspaper. We have the Collegian. Yeah.
Man. IBS is not a great acronym.
Oh, yeah, so they have, so that might be it. But Alyssa said podcast, so? Yeah, I'm not sure. If it's the same exact thing.
Maybe they like do a radio thing. And also do a podcast like likes,
like it's archived? Basically. Yeah. As a podcast episode. Yeah, maybe.
And then someone also needs to draft a letter explaining like who we are and what we want to do for the event as part of the application?
We should I mean, we should do that in general anyways. Like, I think we actually have a minute, let me look through the our documents really quick. I think we have something like that already.
I mean, we have a mission statement. But that's kind of I just want to think about not giving them opportunities to deny us a permit and really sterilizing what we have to say, not in a disingenuous way. But you know, we want to be able to get on to campus, and we can then have honest conversations with actual students instead of I don't know having a pamphlet that says genocide, Josh, and then being declined.
Yeah, bureaucracy does love to veto thing. So.
Um, are you free? This one Sarah Riley? This Wednesday? Like after 630?
Yeah, that's the day we were going to do the whatever not an after after that. Oh, after that. Oh, yeah, probably. I don't know like 10 or 11. Maybe
that's gonna meet on Wednesday for for almost like our other steering
sort of related to the recruitment, slash just dissemination of information. Harpreet, you and I very early on in like, the pipeline document. We're talking about, you know, leaflets and stickers and basically swag effectively. And it would be beneficial if we're going to do tabling and stuff to be able to be hand somebody something and go here, this is your whatever, that something that's short, and you like consult more than like a mission statement, or less than a mission mission statement. It's got our logo, it's got our contact info, social media accounts, whatever. Fire. Yeah, like a flyer, whatever it is. Maybe something that has maybe something that has I don't know, like a QR code to things that they could stick on walls or whatever. I don't know. Stick on walls. Yeah.
Like back to their seats.
Yeah. Or like things that like yeah, like I
like at punk venues and bathrooms. Yes, that's where I see them. Yeah sure.
The place I really want to do it I just want to like, wheat paste them onto like, Walmart and targets front door, but that doesn't look good for us.
Yeah, although, I mean, so we did a bunch of that like Bernie. Yeah, and maybe like their ratio of like one to 51 to 100 actually scan the QR code.
Yeah, I don't it's not the most important thing ever.
Yeah, that's definitely we should have flyers and stuff. And then you can put a QR code on it but yeah, just not like our logo with a QR code underneath it or something. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, main things will be the tenant union campaign. We have so the first meeting will be 1718 or 2425. So that will be two weeks out from the tenant union meaning hopefully we are in better shape than we are now. On the first we will have done at least On canvassing by then on the 25th we will have done the teacher and we can talk about recruitment, we can talk about, we have to have longer discussion on Free Palestine, like what exactly we're going to do. We had our list of things, and I picked one going forward after that means doing more of them.
I, I agree, I think that no, no, nevermind. Yeah, go ahead, keep going.
Um, the only other thing I can think of is, if we want to reintroduce our either we can reintroduce, like the ABCs of socialism as like a more of a seminar than a reading group, because no one wants to read apparently. Yeah.
Or, or we can
continue on with the community organizer, put it out. It's called the fire wood, fire org or something that we did one reading session on
the, I will say that maybe if we, like, took the time to record the ABCs of socialism into a like, basically like a an audiobook, which I would take, like maybe like twice as long to record it as it takes to read it or whatever. Then we wouldn't have to people would never read it, they get to listen to it.
Yeah, I was thinking of like, even for this teaching, like Andrew, you were saying, like to post snippets of the conversation, like what the teaching is going to be about should be like our recruitment for bringing more people in. So as we finish, like the slides, we can convert them to video or graphic or whatever posted us, like, we're talking about this can learn more, but even for like the ABCs, instead of it just being like a post about like reading group, and it says ABC socialism, and maybe like a couple lines about what it's about, like kind of tease what the information side is going to be. You know, basically, we presented it with like a discussion. Anyways, like, it wasn't really a reading group. Anyways, it was like, here's a presentation. We're going to talk about things, have a q&a, talk about things have a q&a. So I think that format is good, but I think our invite made it seem like, we asked you to read and then come and like, discuss all by yourself. And so maybe we do that. Like I think we should still continue reading or other thing. And maybe that can be more of a reading group because it is more long form. And a bit more in depth. And the ABCs can be more produced. Yeah, and like both can go and we just don't put that much production time into the other one.
Yeah. I definitely, I definitely think they like the in the long run, and maybe not in the long run. But like, we should definitely put some time into, like creating our own intro to socialism. Whatever that may be, you know, but I think that like using the ABCs as like a starting place is really good idea.
Yeah, definitely.
As I've lost room. Oh, yeah. For the Yeah, we're gonna be talking about Yeah, yeah.
Okay. So do we want, let's just put it on. As an agenda item, maybe that can be like a little doesn't have to be a side thing where we can recruit people or assign students recruit people to do it.
So why I will say that, like, between two focus campaigns, the it's going to it's going to, we're going to be running kind of tight on everything. Yeah. So adding any, I mean, recruitments important. And like, we definitely have to do that. I think that making maybe like integrating recruitment into our other campaigns is probably like the best way to do it instead of making it a separate thing.
Oh, instead of tabling?
No, I mean, like we could do tabling and have the tabling be a recruitment thing but also, hey, we're doing tenant unions and free Palestine because like, the Palestine thing will give people an in something that they already kind of know, potentially know about. And the tenant union will be like, Hey, we're actually doing something in the in the local community, you know, for whatever effect we're having. And the combination of those two things like hey, something you know about That, like, is a big, you know, big picture kind of thing. And here's a local thing we're doing come join us and do these things.
Okay? You want to, like sell stuff on the ABC of England?
I mean, we can't like if we have new people coming in, we're gonna have to do it an intro thing. So maybe what we can do is have if we do the same thing, I don't know, whenever we are going to run out of days. I know. I
mean, if you do the same thing as we did before, I still have all the slides. And like, yeah, we can do that. Let's do that. So then assess a reputable for Yeah. Okay. Maybe we can schedule day that the next meeting?
Yes. Because like I think between right now, and in the first workout, we got like, what, like six or seven days already? Yeah,
we have to like put in extra overtime to get like the tenant union stuff. Ready?
Yeah. I have I have time between now and and the first for sure. So.
Okay, I will be bothering him. I just had a lot of work to do this weekend. Okay. Like actual work? Not this work.
What do you need money?
Okay. Adri Paulo, Bootsma. Anything else you would like to propose to add to the agenda for February 1.
This resubmitting the items that I had from the meeting we just had, because I didn't get to speak on them. And they were specific things that I wanted to motion on. Okay. So if you could put that under unfinished business?
Okay. Anyone else?
You can propose anything you want?
Oh, I do have a question. Actually. Yes. So like, I know, we have like the we're there's kind of like a membership committee. Right. So what would it look like? You know, would it be possible? Or could it be within that to make a separate? Like, committee for recruiting? Yeah, for recruiting for other things that relate to like,
yeah, the, the way the bylaws are structured, I think I have basically, like carte blanche, I can basically create, like working groups that do specific things. As long as they're directly related to membership in education. I think I can just create the group.
And then on top. Right, yeah. You want people to show up and help? Yeah. But so on top of that, I guess another leading question does it require? Do those things always require approval or like, formalities when it means like, having to meet up plan? All of that, like, like other things, you know, like, when we were we were chatting separately about, like, figuring out more social media stuff or more membership stuff? Does that have to,
I don't like it, it depends. So like some things, especially things that are like statements that would, you know, reflect on the entire organization, they would probably need to be approved. As far as like setting meetings, I think I can just set meetings and then just post them on the forum. And as long as everybody knows about them, it's fine. So it kind of depends on what it is. But, you know, there we have pretty a lot of leeway as far as like creating what it is we're going to create. It just kind of has to. Actually, I one of the things I was thinking about we should do is come before the general meeting and vote on specifically just saying, Hey, we have a group that's going to do social media stuff. And they have the power to post obviously, it has to be, you know, be reviewed or whatever. But they have the ability to post things. And because otherwise, we're constantly just like going for the committee that the general committee and like, or the General Assembly, or whatever it's called. And like getting the entire group to approve, which is fine when we're small. But if we get bigger, it'd be kind of a hassle. Yeah,
and I just don't want it to stall us if it means like, things that we could get started on or working on. But we might need that. If
you have ideas, just chuck them at me. And we're on the forum. We actually just make up like a forum post where anybody who has ideas could like throw them up. Sorry to cut you off. I
think the we just need to set up like and like me Riley and Paulo are talking about this. If the previous trial I'm getting, like some sort of method for like, what gets released, like from the org? Like, that's the only, like, obviously we don't want like every post, like, Is this okay? Like, especially now that we only have one meeting a month. But we just need to like figure it out. What, like either have guidelines for like, all of this stuff is okay. And go ham, and like what stuff should come before the general membership? But yeah, I think maybe in like March we can sit down and like talk about that.
I kind of think that as long as if the general membership elects people to do it. And those people are recallable we have basically like, that's about as democratic as it gets. And especially if they're posing as social media, and the entire organization has access to the social media, they can go oh, this This is terrible. Why would you post this and they can bring it up at the next meeting. Yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna need a proper you think process or something? Yeah. Like, if something really terrible goes up, like, you know, coral can be like, fucking tweet that should sort of have to wait like a whole month.
Yeah, exactly. Okay, so maybe we should, what we should do is at the next at the meeting, bring up creating a process basically.
And then maybe we can make rather than like, talk about it for a month? Yes. I was thinking of our other bylaws were we were like, what did we say? A quarter of quorum or not half a quorum? Yeah. And then afterwards, I
realized, or is it was a quorum plus one is quorum plus one. That's what it is. Right? I always call on plus one. Whenever it's
no, it was actually really bad. Because afterwards, I was like, Okay, if we were thinking like half a quorum for a bit, but I think there'll be like, two people, you guys talk me out of it. Luckily. And then afterwards, I was like, That means like, a quart, like half of the people that come know, a quarter of the people that come could just be a small faction. Yeah. And since we moved away steering, the ability to say, No, it means any faction, any faction is for steering, but I do something by getting a quarter of the vote. Which would not have been great.
That could potentially be bad. Yeah.
Yeah. Afterwards, I was like, Oh my God, thank God, we like, you know, wait a month before he lets you have like a shower. But like a week later, though, this was terrible, actually. Yeah. He
spanners just pays like 10 people that come join the group.
Yes, it's approved of the quorum plus one. Okay, cool. Thank god. Okay. But yeah, that's why we have a delay for posting on social media statements. Now she does talk all about like doing the stuff we talked about before a little bit. I think we never passed our bylaw. We like proposed that and then didn't ratify it afterwards.
Okay, I think at least in the in the meantime, though, because that is a couple of weeks, we can start just working on like ideas.
And yeah, we can make a forum thread whenever. Yeah, yeah. Which also are just typing the newspaper, we should actually get that up because we close perhaps ask people to post if that stories from Gaza or Palestine. So that's about you don't know this ancient history, or three months ago, four months ago, whenever we had proposed, like making a newspaper called Voices of the working class, where we would ask like local local workers basically, like if they have problems at work, just be there to like, vent, or just talk about life as like a working class person in Stockton, or San Joaquin County. And I would just let them like, wouldn't be obvious this is not who you necessarily Am I PwC member but we're just giving people an outlet.
I like to say do just very quickly,
when would we
cuz making a newspaper requires like some sort of funds right to print and everything, especially if it's going to be like a monthly thing.
We're gonna be like an online newspaper for now. Ah, I thought more like a blog. And then But Chris also had a good idea of later, obviously when we have more money, but even a little newspaper spends. He's like knows like a bunch that are just sitting there and like getting dusty and he was like, I'm totally willing to just steal one. And we can paint it with like WC Collinson. and like put it out in front of like a coffee shop.
Sounds amazing. I love it. Yeah,
he was like there's a bike don't use them. They sit there like eventually they get collected by like someone and taken to the Trash Can I guess? Yeah. So he was like, I'm totally down. But like taking one and running.
I know. Yeah, I know an artists that did that. And she basically like she does a lot of she actually does a lot of wheat pasting of her own posters and digital art that she makes. But she did a community based one, and just gave away some of her own art in their or other literature. So it could be used for something like that in the future to like, not just from us, but for other people to share stuff, just like knowledge share.
It would also be dope, if we could get local artists to do art for it.
100 person, I think if we want to actually do this having a separate committee for like the newspaper, the blog, part zere than just like, trying to get everyone to do the same thing. I think it'll be more effective. If we have like, different committees for everything, like you will work on the newspaper, you guys will do the recruitment, you will work on social media. Yeah,
I agree. I think that, at least for the moment, though, the issue is that we're so small that all the committees are just going to be basically the same people. I agree in the long run, you're that's yeah.
Yeah, my only thing would be we should rotate through. That's, we should all know all the skills. But yeah, each each committee should have like, here's how we do things. Like that's how you do a proper scope shares, like actually have it documented. So you can like teach other people how to do things. And it's probably easier if there are committees versus just or like working groups as well, we do it all under the membership committee. But at least if it's like, documented, and you know, this is the working group, are we do these things? Yeah, that does make things easier.
Yeah, I
agree. Well, also, I think it's important to be proactive about it. Just at least think about it. So like if we do all of a sudden get a surge of members run out like oh, no, what can we do? We have to figure out all these rules, and
that would be a good problem to have.
You started basically, you signed them up to do something immediately. You tell us how to every
leftist organization I just had Sorry, I just had an idea for the Palestine teaching, which is that we should be we should invite basically, people know, like, actually know what they're talking about. Right? Like, yeah, I don't know. Exactly who that would be. Yeah. Oh,
I'm not sure.
I lost it when I'm time for. They seem to know everyone, hopefully.
If there's like, even if there's a professor that's like, willing, you know, the, to be there. That's, you know, knowledgeable. And I was I was that relate to what we're talking about? I guess
that's a visual. There were some people that were like, from Gaza. So, you know, there's like people like locally that definitely, I will like, personal experience who are like work here as like, doctors or like nurses, or professors or whatever? I
Yeah. All right. Go ahead. No, go. Okay,
I just I have a former like a co worker who's Palestinian. She's, she works in it's like the Office of Violence Prevention or something. Or, like victims advocates, something like that. And stopping by but I don't know if she'd be willing to do that, though.
I was thinking that if we could get one person would be, like, cool. If we get it to people in particular, like with two different backgrounds, one who has like an academic background and the other one who has, like, you know, a personal background, because that kind of covers the two different like ways of looking at this. Do
we know of any teachers who have or professors who have been outspoken about like full stain, or at least have talked about this? Because I feel like that would be this is just based on my exposure. In LA like they at UCLA, they knew a lot of like the professors who were open to talking about it. And those were the people that they would invite. But I'm not entirely sure like if there are any teachers at Delta or U O P, who have spoken about it, or have spoken about it and like, kept their jobs. Oh,
I just posted a link from up by some professors.
This is getting to state vibes.
I mean, yeah, the only concern with like anyone we invite is we have to talk to them at a time. Did they
have a delta have a brown bag lunch lecture at some point? Like recently?
I'm not too up to date with Delta stuff.
thing? Because like,
yeah, go ahead. Sorry. No, go. Gilbert is conflicted by immense anger and a strong desire for peace. I desperately want Israel to destroy him, us. My confusion is confounded further by not really knowing what the other options are. to democracy and dickhead. Anyway, sorry, go ahead.
No, I didn't say they were good, you guys. I just Googled instructors on Palestine. And that's what I got.
I randomly picked a paragraph and it was that one and I was like, Oh, God,
I am now considering that maybe this might be not not a good idea.
I feel like if we if, for example, we knew people who do support the cause and like, go to Delta, or you will pee that it would be easier to like, find out through, I don't know, word of mouth of people actually being in their classes. I don't know if we're gonna have enough time for the teaching specifically. But I really do like this idea for like future events. Because yeah, I think professors will be more outspoken within their classrooms than like online being like, Well, unless they're like Zionist, then there they are on Twitter talking about it. But word of mouth, I think is the best way probably to find a professor who cares about it.
Yeah, I, I know that because like, the teachings,
I'm sure some of them I've even come to the rallies. It's just like, no one's gonna risk their job and be like, I worked for Delta College. Yeah. They don't
have to. That's the thing. It's like, they don't even have to come and talk in an official capacity. Yeah. So I also I realized that it's literally like two weeks away, which kind of limits our potential of finding somebody who is available.
Yeah. And like, we do have to, like, we have to put something together and then be able to talk to them about it. Yeah. Because we like, I really don't want someone to come up and be like, Guys, if we just keep raising our voices, we will win. Like there's a good sentiment or trying to, like, move beyond that a little bit. I'm
so sorry. Okay, I was just gonna say, I also think it's a good idea to have a speaker that is like the voice of the Palestinians, rather than just us who are like, I don't know if any of your full steamie. But just, for someone to it's always good to be like, Okay, here's the Palestinian, we're not speaking on their behalf. This is your turn to speak like you speak.
Yeah. That's kind of one of the problems that we had in general is that, like, our, our membership is, like, relatively diverse, but it's also missing a lot of like, you know, for the tenant campaign, we don't really have a lot of people who are local to that specific neighborhood. Right? Well, it's like two blocks. Yeah. Like, but that's I'm saying, it's like, when there's a little bit of I think I like the outsider stuff. You know, I agree. It's not a reason to stop doing it. It's just that if, if we had our ideal we would, yeah, you know, yeah.
I just noticed that sometimes gets used against you, like, you know, like, when it comes to like, diversity, ya know, like, when it comes to like black politics, you know, people will be like, No, if you can't say anything, you're like, well, it's the most like developed form of like, race skin color, because in politics, like in the country, and like, I'm sorry, I can't find someone that looks appropriate to like, talk about it with you. Well,
I think also, like, I've had co workers who were black, who were basically like, the Confederacy was right and I was like, I think I have a better opinion on this topic than I Okay.
I've heard a lot. Right, Jesus,
I've heard
it. That's almost exactly what he said.
No. It's the right voice not just a voice of a specific people, because, ya know, I've heard a lot of like, I was reading about an Egyptian today who was like, kill all of Hamas. The land belongs to Israel. And I was like, oh, no, no. Revoke, revoke your Arab card. You don't deserve that.
I mean, the entire state of Israel's like, basically trapped people in Gaza. So that's not super surprising, I guess.
To me, as an Arab, I think it is surprising when your media is talking about it, but
Well, I'm not I'm never surprised when the state does something crazy. It's weird. But when individuals start saying stuff like that, that that is much more surprising
what I'm seeing you're not even like a state official. You're just a random civilian. That's crazy.
Chase the cloud? Whatever life comes?
Um, okay. Is that? Like, I
think that's a lot. Yes. It's not a lot. It's updates, we really can't add more PowerPoint. So it is.
I don't remember. I think I asked you this earlier, but what are the dates for the tenant union?
We said 17 or 18? Or 2425? Depending on Okay, for for February. Yeah. And I'm going to ask Louise for the 24th 21st.
Okay, and we know we're gonna and we're gonna have to
better is this. Yeah. And one calling, right. Yeah, but call him I think we just said we do at our working meeting. So 29. Yeah. But the 25th and eighth are the first to Canvas this. Great, perfect. And that leaves see here, we didn't think we have anything scheduled for the 18th. This month, this Thursday?
Do we just want to maybe. So there's a couple of things we could do. We could do more of the teaching stuff, which we probably need to work on in general. Or there's like a million other things we can do is we can find something to do on Thursday.
We can have another working game. I mean, honestly, we can do it whenever
I was just gonna quickly say if we're gonna like start focusing on recruitment. I know there's a lot on our plate. But I do think it would also be a good idea to start working on the handbook. Yeah. Because we don't want people to come in and be lost, or be like, oh, yeah, yeah. What are we doing? What's going on? What is the layout? So maybe just taking some time to work on that? If it's on Thursday? I feel like I could. I, I could help with that. In whatever way you would need. But yeah, just taking time. The focus on that, too.
Yeah, there's quite a like, there's quite a lot of it done. It needs. Like basically, we need to do like the second half of it. And the appendix. So do you
want to post the draft online? Right away on the farm? Yeah, I'll or maybe you already have it on there, like bucket? Yeah, let
me let me look real.
Quickly, what what do you mean by the second half of it? Like what is that? So
that so we we worked on the first half of it. So that's basically like a general we need to actually fix the introduction because introduction is kind of a mess. But it's got like, how to edit the hand the membership handbook, the structure of the organization, what the general meaning is education. Like we're a democratic organization, the membership pipeline and then when we get to like the the later half of it, which is about the priority campaigns and the campaign leadership and that kind of stuff, we need to fix that. And I think we're missing we're missing something like I guess. Yeah, and maybe like a description of what steering is, I think maybe just like the other the other committees beside or the other stuff besides going
through like bylaws and going through code of conduct would be good to like put into here because Code of Conduct has stuff like how we're for bylaws have things like how we're supposed to delegate more and we never do and how, like for code of conduct is supposed to be like kind of You're supposed to be okay with like arguing, and, you know, not putting yourself before the Oregon stuff. So maybe including some of that in the handbook cuz I doubt anyone is going to read code of conduct. Yeah,
well, as I was saying, I think that the intro needs to be reworked. We can include all of that kind of stuff, like who we are, why we are all that stuff at the beginning. And like what we want, I will say that like, because the handbook is pretty heavily based off of Cleveland's handbook, there might be things that we want to go through and just completely change, because they just might not be consistent with who we are. But I don't think that there's a lot of that. So. But you know, having multiple sets of eyes on it will be good.
I think, once we at least get the structure of what we want to do for the teaching, everything else would be like, pretty easy and pretty straightforward to actually like, do the presentation. And then so like, once we get that done, maybe not like finished the actual presentation, but like, get a grasp a better grasp on like, what we want to do on like, clean up the idea on the topic, then we can shift our attention a little bit to the the handbook and like just going through it really quick and just making note of like, okay, add this here or get rid of this. I think that would be really helpful. Yeah, sure.
Okay, um, is
there something wrong with our calendar right now? Like it? Yes. Yeah.
Okay. Sorry.
Just so you know, where you're going to be posting the dates in the meantime, because you're saying like bylaw review on the seventh team? Oh, yeah. On calendar. Are we gonna we'll
post it on the forum?
Yeah, temporary. Yeah, that's good. Yeah. On the farm.
Oh, I guess and probably we should repost it on the on the WhatsApp general group too, just so that if people don't check there, they can also see it.
Yeah, I can. I can edit that page and put a link to the forum link for now. It just cost 30 bucks a month. And I plan on replacing it soon. And I didn't want to pay 30 bucks, I guess. Yeah. Because we'd be paying for like, I think it ended on like 13 through 14. So we'd be paying for like a whole nother month.
When are we moving over to the event?
So our WordPress page is up. It's on this people template right now. But hopefully, I'm planning on getting it done soon. I know I said I'd get it done at the meeting last night, but oh my god preparing the fucking presentation at the last meeting. What
I was gonna say is like, it is like, I could Venmo you like the difference? Or like 30 bucks or whatever. That way we can do that. Just
don't waste money on that. Okay, that's fair. You know, I can spend an iframe or Google Calendar. Fine. Let's do that.
Yeah, I was just about to suggest Google Calendar. If it's just like for a short term thing. Might as well just use it post the link. Yeah,
I just personally, I agree with the Google Calendar. That works. Yeah. Yeah, I don't know if you've heard of cloud cloudways. Sorry, steering committee meeting. That's not really the steering committee meeting. We will hold it on one side. But thank you, everyone participating. I'm just going to end the recording. Now. You're done adding things. Anyone else want to add anything else?
I just want to clarify, where do we go to check the calendar on the Google thing that you're talking about Google Calendar, where do we go for that?
No, put the iframe so I'll put like, instead of at the advent calendar, it'll be our Google calendar on the same web page. Okay. On the forum right. Now, just put, we can put it on the forum, but also just put our Google calendar on the website or the Add Event is now yeah, it just won't have like options, RSVP, but I'll just be our calendar.
Sure. Okay. Cool. Which
will be better than what's there now. Okay. I'm gonna stop the recording now. We'll be back Wednesday.
