*4. Citizen Concerns

Tan let us know that he is back again, which was recieved with great acclamation.

*5. RA member concerns

No concerns this time.

*6. Old Business

6.1 Status report of MoCA Working Group and plans for new exhibition. Forum discussion regarding MoCA http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8937 MoCA Act, https://cdsdemocracy.org/faqs/nl-3-6-moca-act/

Kyoko offered to arrange a temporary exhibition in the MoCa which would open August 1st, and proposed that the discussion of the future use of the building is to be put on hold until the next term. Rosie expressed concerns about the present MoCa Act, which is an outdated law, but she could not see that we are prepared to have a new law in place by the time the exhibition opens. She thought it a good idea to postpone the discussion of the future use of the MoCa. Em suggested that the RA would move the MoCa Act to Archaic Laws right away, so that it would not affect the exhibition, and postpone the decision of an eventual new law for later.

Tan wanted to make sure that the people who may have an interest in the old MoCA have been involved in the plans of a new MoCa. Delia Lake seems to be the only one left from the old MoCa project, and Lyubov informed Tan that Delia has taken part in the Forum discussions about the future of MoCa.

Motion to move the NL 3-6 MoCA Act to "Archaic". Rosie second, all in favor, motion passed.

Motion: The Chancellor may document all items in the ground floor space of MoCA and remove and store these items in the MoCA Storage Avatar. The Chancellor will create a new temporary exhibition, to be open for public display by 1 August 2019. Em second, all in favor, motion passed.

6.2 Review proposed text to revise NL 4-6 Financial Reserves Act, https://cdsdemocracy.org/faqs/nl-4-6-fi ... erves-act/

Proposed text, replaces references to “city” with “CDS”:

NL 4-6 Financial Reserves Act

The Confederation of Democratic Simulators (CDS) shall move 1 month’s tier in USD to a separate line item (reserve account), and make those funds unavailable for other use.

Funds in the account shall be disbursed at the discretion of the RA to pay recurring expenses in the event of a sudden and unexpected drop in $USD income.

CDS shall augment this account as funds are available until it contains enough funds to pay all recurring CDS expenses for a period of two months absent other income.
