In person at Leesburg and virtual (https://meet.google.com/ese-azox-rje)
Attendance: Jim Waldron, Scott Silvers, Bo Wernick, Jennifer Chu
1) Committee Decisions (continuation of last month's discussion on proposed changes to the Committee section of the Standing Rules)
- Reviewed different ways to address/resolve disagreement between committee chairs and committee members.
- Decided that the less bureaucratic option would be to allow members to bring their concerns to the Board for resolution. This can be done by adding a standing "Petitioner" section to the agenda for the monthly Board meetings.
- Jen will add this item to the agenda for the June Board meeting under Open Discussion.
- No further discussion needed.
2) Non-members as Directors and Officers (continuation of last month's discussion)
- This was briefly discussed.
- Allowing non-Members as Directors and Officers was not a big concern since Directors are voted in by the general membership and Officers are appointed by the elected Directors, so there is accountability.
- No further discussion needed.
3) Bookkeeper as an Officer
- There was a concern that the Bookkeeper was not covered under the D&O insurance since the Bookkeeper is not an Officer position. Making the Bookkeeper an Officer position would address this issue.
- Additional research was done and it was determined that the Bookkeeper is indeed covered under the D&O insurance. Therefore, this is no longer a concern.
- No further discussion needed.
4) Next steps
- In the #rules-and-bylaws-review channel, on the Canvas, there is a running list of potential bylaws/standing rules changes to be evaluated.
- There are currently about 14 items to be reviewed. We can review the 14 items over the next 2 meetings and be done with bylaws and standing rules review.
- Jen will review the Canvas list and pick out 7 items to discuss at the next meeting. She will post the 7 items to the #rules-and-bylaws-review channel in the next 2 weeks and add them to the agenda for the next meeting.
5) Next meeting - Monday, July 22nd at 7 pm at the Leesburg space and virtual
