[2008/05/03 9:14] Gwyneth Llewelyn: ah, I thought you might
[2008/05/03 9:14] Moon Adamant: well, 100 more words than me :)
[2008/05/03 9:14] You: and I think SL uses the 'simplified mandarin' subset of Unicode - which is pretty truncated
[2008/05/03 9:15] Gwyneth Llewelyn: aha
[2008/05/03 9:15] Gwyneth Llewelyn: welcome, beathan!

[2008/05/03 9:15] Flyingroc Chung: jaime, SL uses utf-8, which can render eitehr simplified or traditional mandarin

[2008/05/03 9:16] Gwyneth Llewelyn: 1b ;)
[2008/05/03 9:17] You: my only comment about that is that today we have the special issue of sorting out our own organiation - rather like a term start - which I figured ought to come first, after adminstrative trvivia :)
[2008/05/03 9:17] You: so

[2008/05/03 9:18] ThePrincess Parisi: i do
[2008/05/03 9:18] You: I note a few need ot leave early, thus the suggestion of a short meeting
[2008/05/03 9:18] You: OK, Gwyn?

[2008/05/03 9:19] You: short
[2008/05/03 9:19] You: Gwyn, you had one also?
[2008/05/03 9:19] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Ok, my question was  is the Election Committee (by Beathan) still in effect?
[2008/05/03 9:19] You: BV?
[2008/05/03 9:19] ThePrincess Parisi: ok and general reimbursements cos bells didnt get paid eitehr ...... for anything
[2008/05/03 9:19] ThePrincess Parisi: sorry
[2008/05/03 9:19] Gwyneth Llewelyn: (that will probably render item 2. unnecessary)
[2008/05/03 9:20] Jamie Palisades nods - Beathan, I *think* you still have an election commission?
[2008/05/03 9:20] Gwyneth Llewelyn waits for Beathan :)
[2008/05/03 9:20] Flyingroc Chung: there's stilthe matter of how we choose LRA after a by-elections.
[2008/05/03 9:20] You: yup, but we couls skip the rest, which was Gwyn's suggestiu\on by e-mail
[2008/05/03 9:20] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Ok, then, while Beathan thinks... here goes my proposal, with the LRA's permission...
[2008/05/03 9:20] You: :)
[2008/05/03 9:21] Gwyneth Llewelyn: 1) There is an Election Committee. Move 2. into it. Motion: elect an acting LRA while the COmmittee decides
[2008/05/03 9:21] Beathan Vale: JP -- yes -- but we need to have a post-eletion meeting on lessons learned
[2008/05/03 9:21] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Ok... so 1) stands
[2008/05/03 9:21] Beathan Vale: I'll try to have one after thsi meeting and another later
[2008/05/03 9:21] Gwyneth Llewelyn: My proposal is that we elect just an acting LRA and wait for the conclusions of the Election Comittee,
[2008/05/03 9:21] MT Lundquist: we have the LRA bill on later
[2008/05/03 9:21] Gwyneth Llewelyn: and skip point 2
[2008/05/03 9:21] You: OK - sounds like a plan - for agenda purposes - let's do that when we formally get to item 2
[2008/05/03 9:22] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Agreed.
[2008/05/03 9:22] You: someone can move to refer the bills, then, if they wish, smile

[2008/05/03 9:22] MT Lundquist: ok
[2008/05/03 9:22] Jamie Palisades looks around - agenda otherwise OK?

[2008/05/03 9:24] You: :) up to the group, Moon, dear, but that sounds fine to me

[2008/05/03 9:26] You: anyone?
[2008/05/03 9:27] Gwyneth Llewelyn: What are the "ministerial items"? ;)
[2008/05/03 9:27] You: ha ha - well, leaving wordplay aside, anything we all think can be voted out *without* debate
[2008/05/03 9:27] Sonja Strom: Should we swear in the new RA members?
[2008/05/03 9:27] ThePrincess Parisi: we might swear
[2008/05/03 9:27] ThePrincess Parisi: them in yes
[2008/05/03 9:27] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I agree with Sonja.
[2008/05/03 9:27] Beathan Vale: items that do not need debate -- such as approval of budgets and such -- if debate is needed, they are placed on the agenda, otherwise it is for rapid approval
[2008/05/03 9:27] You: In a mood to swear? :)
[2008/05/03 9:28] ThePrincess Parisi: never
[2008/05/03 9:28] You: Suffice to say we have no consent items proposed for today

[2008/05/03 9:32] You: yes
[2008/05/03 9:32] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Apes have no tails!
----
[2008/05/03 9:32] You: 2
[2008/05/03 9:32] Beathan Vale: or -- an ape and a redhead -- isn't there a movie about that?
[2008/05/03 9:32] Gwyneth Llewelyn: LOL
[2008/05/03 9:32] Moon Adamant: lol
[2008/05/03 9:32] Sonja Strom: Hi DivineLolita
[2008/05/03 9:32] Sonja Strom: welcome
[2008/05/03 9:32] You: I suggest that someone may wish to move to send the LRA *bills* to the Election Commission? Then we can debate that, leaving us with the one-time issue of today's designation?
[2008/05/03 9:33] DivineLolita Demonia: Heys sorry i dont want to disturb
[2008/05/03 9:33] You: Hi Loli
[2008/05/03 9:33] Moon Adamant: hello :)
[2008/05/03 9:33] You: No prob, you're welcome, as long as you can handle us being in a formal meeting :)
[2008/05/03 9:33] Beathan Vale: Send me the LRA bills? oh man ... no!!!
[2008/05/03 9:33] ThePrincess Parisi: i do have a report about one of our new members
[2008/05/03 9:33] You: Prin? we're on item 2
[2008/05/03 9:33] ThePrincess Parisi: no im not sure we should do that if he doesnt want it
[2008/05/03 9:33] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Anyway, I stand by my suggestion. I believe it's pointless to do "partial revamping" on the election rules, if there is a committee working on it, and we shouldn't change critical things "at whim" without seeing the overall picture. So I move that we send all proposed bills to the Election Comission, and just elect an "interim LRA" or "acting LRA" until the Committee finishes their proposal
[2008/05/03 9:33] You: Colleagues, what do you wish to do with the LRA bills?
[2008/05/03 9:33] ThePrincess Parisi: i wont tell you what fr did last night then
[2008/05/03 9:33] MT Lundquist: maybe we should discuss and vote here
[2008/05/03 9:34] Beathan Vale: I can handle them in the election meeting
[2008/05/03 9:34] ThePrincess Parisi: ok we wanna vote ..
[2008/05/03 9:34] MT Lundquist: lol
[2008/05/03 9:34] ThePrincess Parisi: discuss and vote
[2008/05/03 9:34] Beathan Vale: if that is what the RA wants
[2008/05/03 9:34] MT Lundquist: but we have pictures from last night
[2008/05/03 9:34] You: OK, well, in lieu of a motion, let me ask: MT, which form of your bill is the current one we should be working from?
[2008/05/03 9:34] You: I had this: http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1806
[2008/05/03 9:35] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I propose a motion: Pushing the discussion of all the LRA election bills for discussion by the Election Committe. Vote on an acting LRA until taht job is finished.
[2008/05/03 9:35] MT Lundquist: the current bill is the LRA and chancellor election
[2008/05/03 9:35] MT Lundquist: the lra elected by the RA
[2008/05/03 9:35] MT Lundquist: and direct election of chancellor
[2008/05/03 9:35] You: OK, Gwyn's made a motion - send the bills to Election Commission (i.e., do not vote on them here today).
[2008/05/03 9:35] You: Second?
[2008/05/03 9:36] Flyingroc Chung: I second
[2008/05/03 9:36] Jamie Palisades look around
[2008/05/03 9:36] Gwyneth Llewelyn: thank you FR :)
[2008/05/03 9:36] You: ok
[2008/05/03 9:36] You: debate?
[2008/05/03 9:36] MT Lundquist: i believe the proposal is well formed already
[2008/05/03 9:36] Beathan Vale: I think this is OK -- but I have to move quickly -- because the bill would change the way the next election is conducted
[2008/05/03 9:36] You: Gwyn's typing, I assume she'll speak in favor first
[2008/05/03 9:36] MT Lundquist: discussion with all the major parties/factions
[2008/05/03 9:36] Gwyneth Llewelyn: My opinion remains: there is quite a lot to be changed in the whole election procedures. It's not just the LRA and Chancellor
[2008/05/03 9:36] MT Lundquist: led to its present form
[2008/05/03 9:36] ThePrincess Parisi: why would we revote on LRA
[2008/05/03 9:36] ThePrincess Parisi: we just did that
[2008/05/03 9:37] MT Lundquist: i believe it has a strong concensus therefore
[2008/05/03 9:37] MT Lundquist: and doesnt need further attention
[2008/05/03 9:37] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I personally dislike doing things bit by bit, specially if we *already* have a Committee working on things.
[2008/05/03 9:37] You: hmm - well I hear some folks who want to act today and thus are speaking against the motion
[2008/05/03 9:37] Gwyneth Llewelyn: We invested in them the power to discuss *everything*
[2008/05/03 9:37] MT Lundquist: and we need to establish who is lra now
[2008/05/03 9:37] You: let me ask - is there a queue of people who want to speak further on this?
[2008/05/03 9:37] Beathan Vale: I do
[2008/05/03 9:38] You: BV, who else?
[2008/05/03 9:38] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Yes, MT, but that's easy  we just get a vote on an "acting LRA". There is a lot of precedent on that, namely on the 2nd term of 2005
[2008/05/03 9:38] MT Lundquist: but ven so gwyn i believe that we should proceed
[2008/05/03 9:38] Beathan Vale: So far -- the election committee has primary focussed on the mechanics of the process and on the itegrity of the process -- I have not considered our mandate to include questions of what offices to election and certainly not internal RA governance
[2008/05/03 9:38] You: - we are a little free-form here. Can I suggest that everyone who has more to say on the motion take up to 60 secs each?
[2008/05/03 9:39] Beathan Vale: However, I also thank that this bill could usepublic inworld debate
[2008/05/03 9:39] You: In lieu of a need to be ritualistic, what say we start with BV, who was kind enough to ask to speak - then go around the room - once?
[2008/05/03 9:39] Beathan Vale: so far -- it has been well debated on the forums and in the RA -- but it might bear one inworld meeting
[2008/05/03 9:39] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Yes, move it to the Election Committee  where the public can discuss freely ;)
[2008/05/03 9:39] MT Lundquist: i would have thought that its had a lot of debate already
[2008/05/03 9:39] Beathan Vale: I expect I will send it back for vote next week -- probably with little to no changes
[2008/05/03 9:39] MT Lundquist: its been out there in various forms for weeks
[2008/05/03 9:39] Beathan Vale: done
[2008/05/03 9:40] Beathan Vale: I agree MT
[2008/05/03 9:40] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I'd say, MT, if thing were consensual  we wouldn't have *four* proposals on the agenda  but just one.
[2008/05/03 9:40] Jamie Palisades sighs, smiles, and just decides to ask you rowdy lot to finish in 3 minutes and then will call for a vote
[2008/05/03 9:40] Beathan Vale: done
[2008/05/03 9:40] Gwyneth Llewelyn: The purpose of things like the Election Committee is exactly to get input from different things  like, well, four different proposals  and get a consensual one
[2008/05/03 9:41] Flyingroc Chung: lets just hope it doesnt end up like the judiciary committee
[2008/05/03 9:41] Jamie Palisades grins at the thought
[2008/05/03 9:41] MT Lundquist: exactly
[2008/05/03 9:41] Gwyneth Llewelyn: hehe FR  well, the best way to deal with that is to make sure we have consensual proposals ;)
[2008/05/03 9:42] You: .. ahem .. Ok, all, any new points or last words? Or can we vote on Gwyn's motion to send it to committee?
[2008/05/03 9:42] MT Lundquist: perhaps we should vote on the bill, if it passes we have agreement, if not then we bring it to Beathans committee
[2008/05/03 9:42] Gwyneth Llewelyn has no new points
[2008/05/03 9:42] You: :) motion on the floor is to send it, so you can vote against that, I guess, MT
[2008/05/03 9:42] Gwyneth Llewelyn: But give me 10 minutes and I'll figure out a dozen ;) hehe
[2008/05/03 9:42] MT Lundquist: true
[2008/05/03 9:43] Gwyneth Llewelyn: ok
[2008/05/03 9:43] You: ha ha tsk. Members please state your vote - on the motion to send to Committee.
[2008/05/03 9:43] Beathan Vale: aye
[2008/05/03 9:43] Flyingroc Chung: aye
[2008/05/03 9:43] Sonja Strom: aye
[2008/05/03 9:43] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I vote aye, let's have the Committee discuss it.
[2008/05/03 9:43] You: aye
[2008/05/03 9:43] ThePrincess Parisi: nay
[2008/05/03 9:43] MT Lundquist: nay
[2008/05/03 9:44] You: OK - passes 5-2-0.
[2008/05/03 9:44] You: and to be clear
[2008/05/03 9:44] You: I believe that covers all bills on LRA succession.
[2008/05/03 9:44] Gwyneth Llewelyn: ;)
[2008/05/03 9:44] Gwyneth Llewelyn thinks so as well.
[2008/05/03 9:44] You: and the commission meets immediately after this meeting, yes?
[2008/05/03 9:44] Beathan Vale: I will prep notecards on this issue and try to have a special meeting or meetings o fthe committee in the next week
[2008/05/03 9:44] Beathan Vale: yes
[2008/05/03 9:44] MT Lundquist: thats a problem
[2008/05/03 9:44] Gwyneth Llewelyn thanks Beathan :)
[2008/05/03 9:44] Beathan Vale: we can start the discussion then
[2008/05/03 9:45] ThePrincess Parisi: we request a time change
[2008/05/03 9:45] You: AH OK - no commission meeting today then
[2008/05/03 9:45] MT Lundquist: as we cant attend after this meeting
[2008/05/03 9:45] You: BV is chair and will schedule, smile
[2008/05/03 9:45] Beathan Vale: but I still want to do a after the fact review of the election
[2008/05/03 9:45] You: noted ;)
[2008/05/03 9:45] You: Ladies and gentlemen we're still on item 2
[2008/05/03 9:45] Moon Adamant whispers "brb"
[2008/05/03 9:46] Sonja Strom: Jamie, is your tea getting cold?
[2008/05/03 9:46] You: We need an LRA - and have just send all our legislative solutions to committee :)
[2008/05/03 9:46] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Motion 2: Elect an "acting LRA" until the Elect. Committee proposes a change on the election procedures. Two steps: call for candidates among our august members of this assembly. Step two: vote on the candidates.
[2008/05/03 9:46] You: It's magic tea, Sonja
[2008/05/03 9:46] Sonja Strom: ok :)
[2008/05/03 9:46] ThePrincess Parisi: we have an LRA we already voted for him
[2008/05/03 9:46] MT Lundquist: true
[2008/05/03 9:47] You: OK we have a motion - which amouts to, elect one for now, to last until the next general election.
[2008/05/03 9:47] Beathan Vale: second
[2008/05/03 9:47] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Oh  Princess, I actually agree with you!
[2008/05/03 9:47] ThePrincess Parisi: i would like to move that jamie stay LRA if he will
[2008/05/03 9:47] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I'll withdraw the motion if the RA members wish simply to endow the current LRA as acting LRA until the remainder of the term ;)
[2008/05/03 9:47] You: to be honest, and fair to Prin, her point that the current appontment (me) may "ride through" without action is entirely plausible ... but ...
[2008/05/03 9:48] You: ... our rules and law on this are a mess :) ... as I noted on he forums .. so who knows ... and ...
[2008/05/03 9:48] You: I only wish to continue to serve if it's your will. So - we have a motion - was it seconded?
[2008/05/03 9:48] Beathan Vale: no -- it makes sense to reconfirm Jamie
[2008/05/03 9:48] Sonja Strom: I think there is a motion on the floor, and we should vote on it.
[2008/05/03 9:48] Beathan Vale: the theory is that the LRA should be by consent of the RA -- and the RA is now changed so new indication of consent would be helpful
[2008/05/03 9:48] MT Lundquist: well i believe it depends on the results of the beathans committee
[2008/05/03 9:48] MT Lundquist: so it should stand until then
[2008/05/03 9:48] Sonja Strom: yes
[2008/05/03 9:48] Beathan Vale: second
[2008/05/03 9:48] Gwyneth Llewelyn: (yes Jamie it was)
[2008/05/03 9:48] Gwyneth Llewelyn: But
[2008/05/03 9:49] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I'd suggest that we change the order
[2008/05/03 9:49] You: MT, Beathan's committee will not create a solution that tells us who the LRA will be *today* :)
[2008/05/03 9:49] MT Lundquist: i agree
[2008/05/03 9:49] Jamie Palisades listenms to Gwyn - this is about how to proceed on the motion?
[2008/05/03 9:49] Beathan Vale: my committee probably won't recommend anything for this term
[2008/05/03 9:49] Gwyneth Llewelyn: and I will second Prin's/Beathans motion to reconfirm the current LRA as acting LRA until the end of term
[2008/05/03 9:49] MT Lundquist: but it may well tell us how to find an lra before the nend of the term
[2008/05/03 9:49] Gwyneth Llewelyn: and have that voted first
[2008/05/03 9:49] Gwyneth Llewelyn: if it doesn't pass,
[2008/05/03 9:49] Gwyneth Llewelyn: we can go to my motion next.
[2008/05/03 9:50] Gwyneth Llewelyn: (it's just a change of order of the motions, if you're agreeable, Mr LRA)
[2008/05/03 9:50] You: ok, I read that as Gwyn withdrawing her motion, and consensus to take Prin's motion as the new motion for action. Does that work for everyone?
[2008/05/03 9:50] Beathan Vale: yes
[2008/05/03 9:50] Gwyneth Llewelyn seconds that, yes
[2008/05/03 9:50] Flyingroc Chung: works for me
[2008/05/03 9:50] Sonja Strom: ok
[2008/05/03 9:50] You: OK, then, this is a vote to confirm my contuinance for the remainder of this term. Discussion?
[2008/05/03 9:50] ThePrincess Parisi: imma vote for jamie to be LRA then i have to reboot.. ok ... aye
[2008/05/03 9:50] ThePrincess Parisi: brb
[2008/05/03 9:50] You: got it
[2008/05/03 9:50] Flyingroc Chung: aye
[2008/05/03 9:51] Beathan Vale: move the q
[2008/05/03 9:51] Sonja Strom: aye
[2008/05/03 9:51] Jamie Palisades looks for more typey gstures
[2008/05/03 9:51] Beathan Vale: aye
[2008/05/03 9:51] You: members please state their vote. We note Prin voted aye.
[2008/05/03 9:51] Gwyneth Llewelyn: aye as well.
[2008/05/03 9:51] Beathan Vale: aye
[2008/05/03 9:51] Sonja Strom: aye
[2008/05/03 9:51] MT Lundquist: aye
[2008/05/03 9:51] Flyingroc Chung: aye
[2008/05/03 9:51] Flyingroc Chung: hm, I think I voted twice
[2008/05/03 9:51] You: well, thank you, all. I will abstain. It's a politesse thing.
[2008/05/03 9:51] Sonja Strom: hehee
[2008/05/03 9:52] You: The false modesty of politicans and all that ...
[2008/05/03 9:52] Moon Adamant: my congrats to the LRA :)
[2008/05/03 9:52] Gwyneth Llewelyn: acting LRA, congratulations :)
[2008/05/03 9:52] You: so - hm - that moots Gwyn's motion in abeyance, so we can consider it gone
[2008/05/03 9:52] Sonja Strom: Thanks Jamie :-)
[2008/05/03 9:52] Flyingroc Chung: meet the new LRA, same as....
[2008/05/03 9:52] MT Lundquist: congratulations
[2008/05/03 9:52] Beathan Vale: Jamie -- feel any different?
[2008/05/03 9:53] Moon Adamant: lol
[2008/05/03 9:53] You: :) I was referring to myself as interim before, and will not do so through the end of this term :) Gwyn if you think the appellation 'acting' means anything, you're welcome to explain, otherwise I don't plan to use it.
[2008/05/03 9:53] Sonja Strom: more assured that you have the confidence of the RA?
[2008/05/03 9:53] You: Yes - actually - I thikn it's healthy, to answer Sonja
[2008/05/03 9:53] MT Lundquist: and i'm happy that we selected the LRA
[2008/05/03 9:54] You: but we will leave questions of the wisdom of electing LRAs to ... our august special commission :D
[2008/05/03 9:54] Sonja Strom: I don't think Jamie should always have to say he is "Acting" LRA.
[2008/05/03 9:54] You: Not planning to, Sonja, through Mdmselle Llewelyn is welcome to make a case :)
[2008/05/03 9:54] You: moving on, hm?
[2008/05/03 9:54] Sonja Strom: He is the LRA :-)
[2008/05/03 9:54] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Sonja, I second that and vote "aye"!
[2008/05/03 9:54] MT Lundquist: i second sonja
[2008/05/03 9:54] Sonja Strom: So Jamie, you are the LRA.
[2008/05/03 9:54] You: cheers all - let's move on
----
[2008/05/03 9:55] You: 3
[2008/05/03 9:55] You: future meetings :)
[2008/05/03 9:55] Flyingroc Chung: there goes beathan
[2008/05/03 9:55] You: Thank you for tolerating this out-of-order item
[2008/05/03 9:55] Sonja Strom: he seems sleepy today
[2008/05/03 9:56] You: but we need a happily consensual meeting date - one thatwe re-use would be nice - there are people other than the 7 of us would would be better cinveniences by regular time slots.
[2008/05/03 9:56] Sonja Strom: Is anyone unhappy with meeting at this time each week?
[2008/05/03 9:56] You: any thoughts on regular meeting times? Lately we have used 12 SLT Sunday and today's slot 9 am SLT Saturday ...
[2008/05/03 9:56] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I'm fine with either
[2008/05/03 9:56] Sonja Strom: Me too.
[2008/05/03 9:57] Flyingroc Chung: if we are to meet wekends, I can meet at 9am saturday, 9am sunday
[2008/05/03 9:57] Flyingroc Chung: I slightly prefer sunday, actually
[2008/05/03 9:57] You: We have a couple of North American churchgoers, so can I sugges we standardize on this time slot?
[2008/05/03 9:57] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Saturdays I'm sadly away from noon-6 PM SLT  no problems on Sunday
[2008/05/03 9:57] MT Lundquist: 12 sunday is difficult for me
[2008/05/03 9:57] MT Lundquist: i go to bed then
[2008/05/03 9:57] MT Lundquist: to fit into prins time
[2008/05/03 9:58] MT Lundquist: i wake at 8pm slt
[2008/05/03 9:58] You: FR, I heard you, but I detect a slight leaning towards 9 am Saturdays .. and heartfelt objections? Noting that we tend often to take two hours, and MT and Gwyn are on EU time
[2008/05/03 9:58] MT Lundquist: so its my night
[2008/05/03 9:59] MT Lundquist: saturdays ok
[2008/05/03 9:59] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Saturdays 9 AM is perfect for 2-hour-meeting for me
[2008/05/03 9:59] Flyingroc Chung: it's a bit early for me... but sure
[2008/05/03 9:59] Jamie Palisades look for objections, hears none
[2008/05/03 9:59] You: thanks
[2008/05/03 9:59] Gwyneth Llewelyn: wb Prin!
[2008/05/03 9:59] Flyingroc Chung: I dont need to shower an get dressed for SL meetings ;-)
[2008/05/03 9:59] Sonja Strom: haha
[2008/05/03 9:59] You: OK we will consider that an amendment to BV's rules document and make it the default,
[2008/05/03 10:00] ThePrincess Parisi: ty
[2008/05/03 10:00] Arthulius Maximus: Hai
[2008/05/03 10:00] Beathan Vale: FR -- don't you work at Microsoft -- do you really have to shower and get dressed for ANY meetings?
[2008/05/03 10:00] You: .. one of the many advantages of virtual monkeyhood
[2008/05/03 10:00] Sonja Strom: Hello Arthulius, welcome.
[2008/05/03 10:00] Arthulius Maximus: Thanks
[2008/05/03 10:00] Moon Adamant: hello Arthulius
[2008/05/03 10:00] Arthulius Maximus: Hi
[2008/05/03 10:00] Gwyneth Llewelyn: hi :D
[2008/05/03 10:00] Arthulius Maximus: Hallo
[2008/05/03 10:01] Sonja Strom: halloo :-)
[2008/05/03 10:01] MT Lundquist: hi
[2008/05/03 10:01] You: Welcome, Arthul, this is a formal meeting, you're welcome to observe, but if you plan to speak here, please let us know and assent to being recorded in our transcript :)
[2008/05/03 10:01] Gwyneth Llewelyn: mmmh next item, Mr LRA?...
[2008/05/03 10:01] You: indeed
----
[2008/05/03 10:01] You: 4
[2008/05/03 10:01] Arthulius Maximus: Ok, I'll just observe then, I have no idea what's going on :p
[2008/05/03 10:01] You: it was my suggestion that we briefly look at our stable of bills in process and see if we are doing what's needed to move forward
[2008/05/03 10:02] MT Lundquist: lol
[2008/05/03 10:02] Sonja Strom: Sometimes I wonder if we do ;-)
[2008/05/03 10:02] You: no prob Arthul :)
[2008/05/03 10:02] ThePrincess Parisi: none of us do.. and when we think we do we are wrong
[2008/05/03 10:02] Arthulius Maximus: XD
[2008/05/03 10:02] Sonja Strom: hahaa
[2008/05/03 10:02] You: Let me ask: does anyone propose to bring any of them to a vote *today*?
[2008/05/03 10:02] You: if so we ought to deal with that first, hm?
[2008/05/03 10:02] Beathan Vale: the priv dev proposal is ready, I think
[2008/05/03 10:03] You: hmm -so at least let's talk about it first, and get Moon's Guild update. Others planning action *today*?
[2008/05/03 10:03] Gwyneth Llewelyn: In my case, I'd just bring a "No" vote on the Noncommulation of mandates act :D but I'll reserve my arguments if that is going to be discussed
[2008/05/03 10:03] Moon Adamant: hmmm... tell me when i must speak?
[2008/05/03 10:04] Gwyneth Llewelyn: If not, I rather preferred that we went ahead and listen to Moon :D
[2008/05/03 10:04] You: OK :)
[2008/05/03 10:04] Jamie Palisades hears no objections
[2008/05/03 10:04] ThePrincess Parisi: if it passes you wont run next term
[2008/05/03 10:04] You: let's do Priv Dev first - I suggest we first ask Moon for a brief update on the Guild's planning activity, and whatever charter changes they may bring (but have not yet), then ask BV to carry his bill forward
[2008/05/03 10:05] You: to>do
[2008/05/03 10:05] Gwyneth Llewelyn seconds that decision by the LRA
[2008/05/03 10:05] Gwyneth Llewelyn: enthusiastically, if I may add :)
[2008/05/03 10:05] You: Private Development, smile, ahem
[2008/05/03 10:05] ThePrincess Parisi gags just a little
[2008/05/03 10:05] Moon Adamant: ok
[2008/05/03 10:06] You: Moon? update, say 5 mins or less, followed by polite questions after you're done?
[2008/05/03 10:06] Moon Adamant: Guild is atm voting a new Faculty
[2008/05/03 10:06] Moon Adamant: which will happen on the 8th May
[2008/05/03 10:06] Moon Adamant: at same time, we are preparing a new charter
[2008/05/03 10:06] Moon Adamant: also to be discussed and voted by Faculty
[2008/05/03 10:06] Moon Adamant: this charter addresses the clearer separation of Faculty and board
[2008/05/03 10:06] ThePrincess Parisi: brb
[2008/05/03 10:07] Moon Adamant: plus some other internal aspect of guild procedures
[2008/05/03 10:07] Moon Adamant: this charter will later then be put to discussion at Board level
[2008/05/03 10:07] Moon Adamant: and when approved, we will ask this RA to vote the Charter
[2008/05/03 10:08] Moon Adamant: as happened with the charter currently standing
[2008/05/03 10:08] Moon Adamant: as for the contents of the charter that directly matter to the private dev bill
[2008/05/03 10:08] Moon Adamant: they deal essentially with the separation of board and faculty
[2008/05/03 10:09] Moon Adamant: board being a "contractor"
[2008/05/03 10:09] Moon Adamant: and faculty being a consultive organ
[2008/05/03 10:09] Moon Adamant: Faculty will organize itself in departments
[2008/05/03 10:09] Moon Adamant: one of them being the Buyilding Approval Committee
[2008/05/03 10:10] Moon Adamant: which will aid the Chancellor, as in accordance to Beathan's proposal
[2008/05/03 10:10] Moon Adamant: the charter also previews that these deps will have the power to define internal procedures
[2008/05/03 10:10] Moon Adamant: so to resume
[2008/05/03 10:10] No room to sit here, try another spot.
[2008/05/03 10:10] Moon Adamant: we think that in less of a month, depending on debate time
[2008/05/03 10:11] Moon Adamant: the Guild will be ready for the Private Dev Bill
[2008/05/03 10:11] Moon Adamant: done.... questions?
[2008/05/03 10:11] You: Yes thanks
[2008/05/03 10:11] You: OK, questions for Moon. And permit me to ask two - and I apologize if the answers are on the forum and I missed them. First, do you think all the procedural Guild stuff is crowding out or 'gating' Sim 4 planning, and future strategic map planning, on your agenda? Or are the latter two projects also progressing in parallel? ... And second, since the Guild accepted the RA's instructions on Sim4, and we have received *no* questions for clarification, may I assum eyou are ready and Sudane should order the sim immediately? Or what else is an obstacle to that step?
[2008/05/03 10:11] Moon Adamant listens
[2008/05/03 10:12] You: Q1 is about process versus substantive work
[2008/05/03 10:12] Moon Adamant: well, let me explain how Board works
[2008/05/03 10:12] You: *process
[2008/05/03 10:12] Moon Adamant: we constitue projects that are assigned to workgroups
[2008/05/03 10:12] Moon Adamant: atm, in parallel, there are 2 workgroups
[2008/05/03 10:12] Moon Adamant: one for masterplan
[2008/05/03 10:12] Moon Adamant: onne for 4th sim
[2008/05/03 10:12] Moon Adamant: they're both working
[2008/05/03 10:13] Moon Adamant: the masterplan wg has a very large scope
[2008/05/03 10:13] Moon Adamant: you have received my mail about conducting surveys to the community, i hope?
[2008/05/03 10:13] Moon Adamant: so we can consider it as a standing WG
[2008/05/03 10:13] Sonja Strom: I received one from Symo.
[2008/05/03 10:13] Moon Adamant: also because we are receiving a lot of input from citizens
[2008/05/03 10:14] You: OK, so I take the answer to Q1 to be that they *are* all proceeding in parallel and are *not* gated by the charter changes. Moon, is that correct? Let's talk about surveys in a sec
[2008/05/03 10:14] Moon Adamant: yes - the work is carrying on
[2008/05/03 10:14] You: excellent thx - and let's get to those surveys as point 3
[2008/05/03 10:14] Moon Adamant: the charter is an internal discussion that will organize our work futher, but it is not stopping us
[2008/05/03 10:14] Moon Adamant: just let me add
[2008/05/03 10:14] You: on the second question I raised, Moon? Sim 4 order?
[2008/05/03 10:14] Moon Adamant: that atm for sim 4
[2008/05/03 10:15] Moon Adamant: my last info is that we have 3 people preparing sim plans
[2008/05/03 10:15] Moon Adamant: (from earlier on this week)
[2008/05/03 10:15] Moon Adamant: we prefer to present those plans, iterate so that we can have a consensus plan
[2008/05/03 10:15] Moon Adamant: and then hand it to financials
[2008/05/03 10:16] You: ? is that sort of like the Arria and Rose competing plans, then? They all are working within the RA parameters? They all are Guild members? I'm confused, sorry
[2008/05/03 10:16] Moon Adamant: so that financials don't have useless work
[2008/05/03 10:16] Moon Adamant: all citizens are guild members
[2008/05/03 10:16] ThePrincess Parisi: no they will ask for changes to our request from the meetings i attended
[2008/05/03 10:16] ThePrincess Parisi: sir jamie
[2008/05/03 10:16] Moon Adamant: and at the forums
[2008/05/03 10:16] Moon Adamant: you will find the transcript of our last meeting
[2008/05/03 10:16] You: Let's let Moon finish her answer, then Prin has a Q
[2008/05/03 10:16] Moon Adamant: in which we discussed the RA parameters
[2008/05/03 10:17] Moon Adamant: as for your first question, it's not like the Nea Hora vs Alp Meadows
[2008/05/03 10:17] Moon Adamant: but more like the process that led Jon and Dnate'«s plans to be merged into final Alp Mead
[2008/05/03 10:18] Moon Adamant: i hope this has answered your questions?
[2008/05/03 10:18] You: Moon, I may not be stating it well, but my concern is that the actual sim order could be placed - there being a troubled queue at Linden Labs - and I think you are telling me that more *financial* work is needed, as well as more design work, before the Guild would recommend we proceed to place the order. Is that right?
[2008/05/03 10:19] Moon Adamant: i believe you want a serious design and financials, right?
[2008/05/03 10:19] ThePrincess Parisi looks down rolls her eyes
[2008/05/03 10:20] ThePrincess Parisi: they are changing what we gave them.. so they have to redo financials
[2008/05/03 10:20] ThePrincess Parisi: fewer lots
[2008/05/03 10:20] Moon Adamant: As to Princess' comments
[2008/05/03 10:20] ThePrincess Parisi: different prim amounts etc.
[2008/05/03 10:20] Moon Adamant: let me explain
[2008/05/03 10:20] ThePrincess Parisi: please do hun
[2008/05/03 10:20] Moon Adamant: we are considering that due to difference in densities
[2008/05/03 10:20] Beathan Vale: my understandibng is that there will be a recommendation to slightly reduce the number of lots -- from 50 to 42 or 45 or so -- not a huge change
[2008/05/03 10:21] Moon Adamant: a denser sim would perhaps be placed better in CN-West
[2008/05/03 10:21] Moon Adamant: NEXT to the city
[2008/05/03 10:21] ThePrincess Parisi: the assumptions made by guild members in teh transcripts are many of them wrong though moon
[2008/05/03 10:21] ThePrincess Parisi: and we made an order to you
[2008/05/03 10:21] Beathan Vale: yes -- and relocate the CN west -- I think that is something the RA should do
[2008/05/03 10:21] You: hang on all ) Moon, you done?
[2008/05/03 10:21] Beathan Vale: the 4th sim would be better placed CN West
[2008/05/03 10:21] ThePrincess Parisi: yes they are completely out of order
[2008/05/03 10:21] You: tsk
[2008/05/03 10:21] Moon Adamant: Princess, it is not my function to comment on the accuracy of Guild members' assumptions
[2008/05/03 10:21] You: Is Moon finished?
[2008/05/03 10:21] ThePrincess Parisi: its mine
[2008/05/03 10:21] Moon Adamant: kindly let me continue
[2008/05/03 10:22] Beathan Vale: I move to authorize the Guild to build the 4th sim in CN West
[2008/05/03 10:22] Moon Adamant: no
[2008/05/03 10:22] ThePrincess Parisi: second
[2008/05/03 10:22] Moon Adamant: at the same time
[2008/05/03 10:22] You: I ask that Moon be given 60 more seconds to conclude he remarks first.
[2008/05/03 10:22] ThePrincess Parisi: two sims yay@!
[2008/05/03 10:22] Moon Adamant: ok, i'll wait for the motion, then continue?
[2008/05/03 10:22] MT Lundquist: third
[2008/05/03 10:22] You: sigh
[2008/05/03 10:23] You: I am emotionally entirely on the side of that mnotion, I'm afraid
[2008/05/03 10:23] You: BUT Can we permit Moon to finish for SIXTY seconds, please.B
[2008/05/03 10:23] Moon Adamant: shal i continue, or shall i wait for your motion?
[2008/05/03 10:23] Beathan Vale: there is good reason to move the sim to CN west -- and it effects Guild design -- I meant to raise this earlier but I forgot
[2008/05/03 10:23] ThePrincess Parisi: lets add in the lot number change too .........
[2008/05/03 10:23] ThePrincess Parisi: ammend the movement to change all they want changed .. location and lot numbers
[2008/05/03 10:23] Beathan Vale: OK -- no fewer than 42 lots and moved to CN West
[2008/05/03 10:23] ThePrincess Parisi: second beathan
[2008/05/03 10:23] Beathan Vale: OK -- motion withindrwan
[2008/05/03 10:23] Moon Adamant: we are atm studying
[2008/05/03 10:23] Beathan Vale: for now
[2008/05/03 10:24] You: :) ladies and gentlemen.
[2008/05/03 10:24] You: I share your impatience but not your approach to politeness ...
[2008/05/03 10:24] ThePrincess Parisi winks at bv
[2008/05/03 10:24] Moon Adamant: if a slight reduction in the number of plots - around 10% less
[2008/05/03 10:24] Flyingroc Chung: I'm not sure I want the RA to micromanage how many lots are to be built.
[2008/05/03 10:24] Moon Adamant: can allow us to give a prim multiplicator to parcels
[2008/05/03 10:24] Gwyneth Llewelyn: I'm sure I don't want that either, FR ;)
[2008/05/03 10:24] Moon Adamant: this would make parcels more appealing
[2008/05/03 10:24] Moon Adamant: it's not DOUBLE parcels
[2008/05/03 10:25] Moon Adamant: but we can give a non-integer multiplicator
[2008/05/03 10:25] You: Moon I thikn we should regar the RAmembes ans wishing to act wihout further report, if I can dvine thir intent fom their omments correctl. Myapologies.
[2008/05/03 10:25] You: Honestly, friends, I feel a little like King Cole, here, in the RA, calling for our pipe & bowl, and with a bunch of prospective citizens who want to move in -- and a sort of uncertain, receding timeline for actually moving, to be honest. Genuine gratitude for the Guild's work, and no question that there is good will all around, but also, well, if we move *independently* of the Guild, do we need the PDP bill to be passed?
[2008/05/03 10:25] Moon Adamant waits
[2008/05/03 10:25] You: PDP experts?
[2008/05/03 10:25] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Who's "we" in that context, Jamie? The CDS? The RA? :)
[2008/05/03 10:25] You: Sim plans do not fall from the sky, smile
[2008/05/03 10:25] Flyingroc Chung: Should we wait for the new charter?
[2008/05/03 10:26] You: all of the above, flower girl
[2008/05/03 10:26] Gwyneth Llewelyn: ok :)))
[2008/05/03 10:26] Flyingroc Chung: before we take up the sim devt bill
[2008/05/03 10:26] Moon Adamant: Jamie, you are totally right, sim plans do not fall out from the sky :)
[2008/05/03 10:26] You: to be clear on procedure: we have a motion and second :) we are debating it
[2008/05/03 10:26] ThePrincess Parisi: well ...lets do the pdp and let them do what they want
[2008/05/03 10:26] Beathan Vale: FR -- no -0- the charter depends on passage of the bill --
[2008/05/03 10:26] Beathan Vale: the Guild needs to respond to the bill or respond to its nonpassage
[2008/05/03 10:26] MT Lundquist: second pdp
[2008/05/03 10:26] Moon Adamant: well, Beathan
[2008/05/03 10:27] Moon Adamant: actually, we changed the charter to meet the new challenge of PDP
[2008/05/03 10:27] You: is the PDP bill ready to be enacted in the view of its PROPOSER?
[2008/05/03 10:27] You: :)
[2008/05/03 10:27] Moon Adamant: but it also contemplates internal Guild points
[2008/05/03 10:27] Beathan Vale: ok
[2008/05/03 10:27] Moon Adamant: so it was a lucky moment to solve two issues in one go :)
[2008/05/03 10:28] You: ...... your slightly perplxed LRA notes we are over time as scheduled. I will assume an extension until 10h45 is acceptable to all, and that we remain on th PDP question, if no objection is voiced.
[2008/05/03 10:28] You: sigh
[2008/05/03 10:28] Beathan Vale: Ok -- I renew my motion authorising guild to build 4th sim CN west with no fewer than 42 lots for private ownership
[2008/05/03 10:28] Gwyneth Llewelyn: No objections to extension.
[2008/05/03 10:28] ThePrincess Parisi: second
[2008/05/03 10:29] You: Do I undestand corectly that BV ha moved, an someone has seconed, that we adopt the PDP bill now?
[2008/05/03 10:29] ThePrincess Parisi: i want to vote on beathans pdp bill now
[2008/05/03 10:29] ThePrincess Parisi: yep
[2008/05/03 10:29] MT Lundquist: yes
[2008/05/03 10:29] Beathan Vale: No
[2008/05/03 10:29] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Wait...
[2008/05/03 10:29] Beathan Vale: I withdraw motion and move PDP bill
[2008/05/03 10:29] Flyingroc Chung: hm, I dont think beathans motion is for adoption of the pdp bill...
[2008/05/03 10:29] You: Beathan - please clarify
[2008/05/03 10:29] MT Lundquist: second
[2008/05/03 10:29] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Ack
[2008/05/03 10:29] ThePrincess Parisi: he wanted to add the guild requests
[2008/05/03 10:29] Flyingroc Chung sctaches head
[2008/05/03 10:29] ThePrincess Parisi: hehe
[2008/05/03 10:29] Beathan Vale: I'll get tot he guild afterward
[2008/05/03 10:29] ThePrincess Parisi: read back jamie
[2008/05/03 10:29] Beathan Vale: OK --stop
[2008/05/03 10:30] Beathan Vale: I withdraw all motions
[2008/05/03 10:30] Beathan Vale: let me clarify
[2008/05/03 10:30] You: :) thx
[2008/05/03 10:30] Beathan Vale: the Guild is making design decisions as to the previously authorized 4th sim
[2008/05/03 10:30] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Ok...
[2008/05/03 10:30] Beathan Vale: I understand that it has discovered that a dense sim would be better build CN West -- and that double prims require a slight reduction in private lots from 50 to around 42
[2008/05/03 10:31] Jamie Palisades listens to BV until he indicates he's done - because he was not raised by wolves ...
[2008/05/03 10:31] Beathan Vale: So -- I move that we authorize the Guild to design the 4th sim with these changes
[2008/05/03 10:31] ThePrincess Parisi: second
[2008/05/03 10:31] You: That's a motion. Is there a scond?
[2008/05/03 10:31] You: OK
[2008/05/03 10:31] Gwyneth Llewelyn: That is motion #1 from you, Beathan. Right?
[2008/05/03 10:31] Moon Adamant: well, actually atm a non-integer multiplier with a 10% reduction in prim lots
[2008/05/03 10:31] Beathan Vale: yes
[2008/05/03 10:31] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Ok. That motion is on the floor?
[2008/05/03 10:31] Moon Adamant: but we can study the double prim question
[2008/05/03 10:32] Beathan Vale: OK -- Moon -- not double prim lots -- but "more marketable and buildable lots"
[2008/05/03 10:32] ThePrincess Parisi: study? .lol
[2008/05/03 10:32] You: Moon can you - is ONE word - confirm whether Bethan's motion correctly captured that part of the Guild's feedback?
[2008/05/03 10:32] ThePrincess Parisi: i move no other changes to the ra bill after this eitehr
[2008/05/03 10:32] You: I am asking a yes or no question
[2008/05/03 10:32] Moon Adamant: yes in general principles
[2008/05/03 10:32] Moon Adamant: details to be verified :)
[2008/05/03 10:32] ThePrincess Parisi: ;aldkjf;lskdfl;a
[2008/05/03 10:33] You: thanks - good enough for me :) any more comments, or are you ready to vote?
[2008/05/03 10:33] ThePrincess Parisi: aye
[2008/05/03 10:33] You: I wil make a suggestion about how to proceed AFTER we vote on this :)
[2008/05/03 10:33] Gwyneth Llewelyn is fine to vote, and votes "aye"
[2008/05/03 10:33] Beathan Vale: aye
[2008/05/03 10:33] MT Lundquist: aye
[2008/05/03 10:33] You: members please state your vote to BV's amendment on the sim details. I vote aye.
[2008/05/03 10:33] ThePrincess Parisi: yes
[2008/05/03 10:33] Flyingroc Chung: aye
[2008/05/03 10:33] Sonja Strom: aye
[2008/05/03 10:33] You: ha ha you're all ahead of me
[2008/05/03 10:33] Gwyneth Llewelyn: :D
[2008/05/03 10:34] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Eagerness, Mr LRA, just eagerness :)
[2008/05/03 10:34] You: Passes 7-0-0
[2008/05/03 10:34] Gwyneth Llewelyn: yay :)
[2008/05/03 10:34] You: Indeed
[2008/05/03 10:34] You: now
[2008/05/03 10:34] Moon Adamant: thank you
[2008/05/03 10:34] Gwyneth Llewelyn: Guild, GO WORK! :)
[2008/05/03 10:34] You: ahem :)
[2008/05/03 10:34] Gwyneth Llewelyn: hehe
[2008/05/03 10:34] Gwyneth Llewelyn: sorry!
[2008/05/03 10:34] Moon Adamant: i will inform the Guild of new changes in specs
[2008/05/03 10:34] Moon Adamant: eheheh, we do little else :P
[2008/05/03 10:34] You: When we pass the PDP bill, anyone who thinks we wan to rush forward further will have their vehicle for doing so ...
[2008/05/03 10:34] Gwyneth Llewelyn: :D
