[12:10] Lyubov (20180414): Please Rosie
[12:10] Rosie Gray: thank you
[12:10] Rosie Gray: I'm just wondering what Seraphim is, under advertising
[12:11] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): seraphim is the special event/sale blog.
[12:11] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Every fashionista reads it and buys...
[12:11] Lyubov (20180414): I know it as one of those mega-shopping event places
[12:11] Lilith Ivory wonders if there is a link to this blog
[12:11] Laura Azalee is online.
[12:11] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): It is literally the last wide circulation blog with ads that is left
[12:12] Rosie Gray: oh yes a link would be good, I've never heard of it
[12:12] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): FYI SL New England advertises there.
[12:12] Lyubov (20180414): http://seraphimsl.com/
[12:12] Rosie Gray: thank you Lyubov
[12:12] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): now we know who reads it LOL
[12:12] Rosie Gray: okay that's all I wanted to know
[12:12] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[12:12] Rosie Gray: obviously I am not reading fashion blogs!
[12:13] Rosie Gray looks at her old fashioned dress
[12:13] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): you are very Rosie and that's good
[12:13] Lyubov (20180414): You don't need to read a blog Rosie, you set your own trends :)

[12:14] Lyubov (20180414): Thank you Em :)
[12:14] Lyubov (20180414): Any other questions before we move to a vote?

[12:16] Lyubov (20180414): Chancellor, is there anything else you wish to report with your time?
[12:17] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): I sort of started with that rather than the budget
[12:17] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Still catching up. Expect some things to share next meeting.
[12:17] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): done
[12:17] Lyubov (20180414): Yes. Thank again Chancellor.
[12:17] Lyubov (20180414): The next agenda item is *3. Report on the LUC.
[12:18] Lyubov (20180414): The transcript from 23 June LUC meeting is available at, http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=9033
[12:18] Lyubov (20180414): Rosie, could you please present the LUC report to the RA?
[12:18] Rosie Gray: ye
[12:18] Rosie Gray: yes
[12:19] Rosie Gray: as you can see from the transcript, we had a good meeting and discussion
[12:19] Rosie Gray: Cathy was going to get together with Lyubov and Sudane to draft the new CN covenant
[12:19] Rosie Gray: I haven't seen a draft yet so don't think that has happened
[12:20] Lyubov (20180414): Yes, I just received an IM from Cathy yesterday, saying she was starting to start to get started :)
[12:20] Em Warden (emwarden): Lol
[12:20] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane) giggles
[12:20] Rosie Gray: I've also requested from Han that there be Minutes done up since I find it a terrible waste of time to read the transcript every time I want to know what we agreed upon
[12:21] Lyubov (20180414): Yes, the transcript is much too difficult to get through, even worse than Lyubov's posts :)
[12:21] Rosie Gray: and I honestly cannot remember everything discussed
[12:21] Rosie Gray: ha, Lyubov
[12:21] Rosie Gray: well that's what Minutes are for, so you don't have to read transcripts over and over
[12:21] Rosie Gray: anyway
[12:21] Rosie Gray: Sudane has finished one more Stella Marina house
[12:22] Rosie Gray: and I am working on one more Colonia Nova forum building
[12:22] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): which has been snapped up
[12:22] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane) blushes
[12:22] Rosie Gray: ah, already!
[12:22] Rosie Gray: are there any questions about LUC?
[12:23] Em Warden (emwarden): I have no questions
[12:23] Lyubov (20180414): Just a note, At the LUC meeting, I proposed that we consider upgrading our two 20k LI full regions, Alpine Meadow and Locus Amoenus, to full 30k regions. I agreed to include this item in our RA meeting today. I am working on the financials and I hope to make a post to the Forum with the proposal in advance of the next LUC meeting on 21 July.
[12:23] Rosie Gray: ah, great thanks Lyubov
[12:23] Lyubov (20180414): :)

[12:28] Tanoujin Milestone: she smells Gizmo, my one and only therapy cat
[12:28] Laura Azalee: awww
[12:28] Lyubov (20180414): Next, *5. RA member concerns. Would any RA member like to share something at this time?
[12:29] Rosie Gray: nothing from me
[12:29] Laura Azalee: not me
[12:29] Em Warden (emwarden): I was thinking of something earlier today, but now I can't remember what it was...
[12:29] Lyubov (20180414): We're a well-satisfied and unconcerned bunch :)
[12:29] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane) hugs Em
[12:29] Lyubov (20180414): Next item, *6. Old Business.
[12:30] Lyubov (20180414): The first item, 6.1 Status report of MoCA Working Group and plans for new exhibition.
[12:30] Lyubov (20180414): There has been a Forum discussion regarding MoCA http://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=8937
[12:30] Lyubov (20180414): For refernece, the MoCA Act, https://cdsdemocracy.org/faqs/nl-3-6-moca-act/
[12:31] Lyubov (20180414): Chancellor, could you please present a report of the MoCA Working Group?
[12:31] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Sure
[12:31] Lyubov (20180414): Thank you Chancellor
[12:31] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): As you know the group has not met yet,
[12:31] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): I accept responsibility for that.
[12:32] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): But after a good discussioin with our LRA, Lyubov, we thought it might be wise to take MoCA off the docket until the beginning of next term.
[12:33] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Part of the reasoning is that I don't have the time now and will have the time after Dece. 1 to become more deeply involved with reviving MoCA
[12:34] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): there is one more part of this
[12:34] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): I don't know if you want to discuss and consider the postponement first
[12:34] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): done
[12:34] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): unless you want to hear the other part LOL
[12:34] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane) waits
[12:34] Lyubov (20180414): I would like to hear your other part, if you would like to share, and then we may discuss wiht a fuller understanding...
[12:35] Rosie Gray: I would, please
[12:35] Lyubov (20180414): Please continue....
[12:35] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): OK
[12:35] Laura Azalee: what oter part?me is curious!
[12:35] Em Warden (emwarden) is all ears
[12:36] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): I would like to ask the RA's permission to mount a temporary exhibit on the ground floor of MoCA. AFTER carefully documenting what is currently there for the record.
[12:36] Rosie Gray raises a hand
[12:36] Lyubov (20180414): Yes Rosie?
[12:37] Rosie Gray: I appreciate that you'd like to jump in with a temporary exhibit, Chancellor
[12:37] Rosie Gray: and I don't have any problem with that
[12:37] Rosie Gray: but I'd like for the RA to get back to the initial MoCA Act
[12:38] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane) nods
[12:38] Rosie Gray: it is still a law on our books, and is so outdated
[12:39] Rosie Gray: so, I can appreciate that a full discussion about the use of the MoCA, and the whole question of its mandate can be postponed
[12:39] Lyubov (20180414): Yes Rosie...how much would we *really* need to change the MoCA Act to at least make it relevant...remove Guild and City references and the Lease etc..
[12:39] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane) raises her hand
[12:40] Rosie Gray: but I think that the job of the RA right now should be to at least either move this old law to Archaic law
[12:40] Rosie Gray: or to draft a new law
[12:40] Rosie Gray: I don't see us ready to draft a new law
[12:40] Pip Torok: agree
[12:40] XD-Moderator Speaker List v2.36: You are now On the List to Speak. You Can Click the Device Again to Remove your Name.
[12:40] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane) also agrees
[12:40] Rosie Gray: but his old one shouldn't be kept since it is not representing anything accurate right now
[12:41] Tanoujin Milestone raises hand
[12:41] Rosie Gray: done
[12:41] Lyubov (20180414): No Rosie, my proposal was to make the current Act archaic while making a new law. We are not ready to do more than update language to say that the MoCA is CDS owned...
[12:41] Lyubov (20180414): First Kyoko, then Tan...
[12:41] Lyubov (20180414): Kyoko?
[12:41] Rosie Gray looks at the talking stick
[12:41] Lyubov (20180414): ANd i see Em in the queue...
[12:41] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): I'm ok
[12:42] Lyubov (20180414): Em...?
[12:42] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Let Tan speak
[12:42] Lyubov (20180414): Ok, back to Tan please...
[12:42] Lyubov (20180414): Tan?
[12:42] Tanoujin Milestone: sorry, If I add complications can we name the persons who have a vital interest in the old moca
[12:43] Tanoujin Milestone: people who have merits in that? I only remember Delia
[12:43] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Delia Lake
[12:43] Tanoujin Milestone: yes...
[12:43] Tanoujin Milestone: could we make sure, these people are consulted? done
[12:43] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Rosie?
[12:43] Lyubov (20180414): Delia has contributed to the Forum discussion on this topic
[12:44] Tanoujin Milestone: great, i am fine then, thank you
[12:44] Lyubov (20180414): Thank you Tan.
[12:44] Lyubov (20180414): Em?
[12:44] XD-Moderator Speaker List v2.36: Current Speaker is Now:
[12:44] XD-Moderator Speaker List v2.36: Your Name has Been Removed From the List of Speakers
[12:45] Em Warden (emwarden): Thank you. My point of view is, taht we should move the MoCa Act to Archaic laws right now, so t hat Kyoko won't be tied down by the obsolete laww while making her temporary exhibition
[12:46] Em Warden (emwarden): And then we can decide if we need a new law at all
[12:46] Em Warden (emwarden): Done
[12:46] Lyubov (20180414): I agree with this idea Em....the current law is beyond repair and obsolete. We can make a new one later.
[12:47] Laura Azalee: I AGREE TOO
[12:47] Laura Azalee: sorry caps
[12:47] Em Warden (emwarden): :)
[12:47] Lyubov (20180414): I would like to motion that we move theNL 3-6 MoCA Act to "Archaic"
[12:47] Rosie Gray smiles at Laura
[12:47] Rosie Gray: second the motion
[12:47] Em Warden (emwarden): Second
[12:47] Lyubov (20180414): Thank you Rosie :)
[12:47] Lyubov (20180414): and Em :)
[12:47] Lyubov (20180414): Do we need any further discussion before we vote?
[12:48] Lyubov (20180414): Please vote to move the NL 3-6 MoCA Act to "Archaic"
[12:48] Lyubov (20180414): aye
[12:48] Em Warden (emwarden): Aye
[12:48] Rosie Gray: aye
[12:48] Laura Azalee: aye
[12:48] Lyubov (20180414): Thank you all, and it is so :)
[12:48] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Channeling your inner Jean-Luc Picard, Lyubov?
[12:49] Lyubov (20180414): :)
[12:49] Rosie Gray: :D
[12:49] Lyubov (20180414): The Chancellor had asked about creating a ground-floor temporary exhibition. I like this idea.
[12:49] Laura Azalee: yes sounds great
[12:50] Lyubov (20180414): Chancellor, could you give us some more details, so we can make a motion to this effect?
[12:50] Lyubov (20180414): Please Kyoko...
[12:50] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): You read my mind :)
[12:50] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Just to make something clear. Mounmting and exhibity is a LOT easier than refocusing MoCA
[12:51] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): And to be honest, I'm not sure exactly what it will be
[12:51] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): It could be artists who have been citizens
[12:52] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): a an item for each year of MoCA's existence.
[12:52] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): Current trend in SL art
[12:53] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): I would be poking around seeing was is feasible
[12:53] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): *what
[12:53] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): I have a RL background in gallery management so I know how to do something good quickly
[12:53] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): done
[12:53] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): sorry to be vague
[12:54] Lyubov (20180414): Thank you. Do you have a timeframe for when you would like this to occur?
[12:54] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): but the idea just came up between Lyu and myself
[12:54] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): done
[12:54] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): By August 1
[12:54] Lyubov (20180414): Well ok then! Wow! :)
[12:55] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): It could also include p[ieces from my own collection
[12:55] Lyubov (20180414): Rosie, you have a comment please?
[12:55] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): done
[12:55] Rosie Gray: yes thanks
[12:55] Rosie Gray: I'm just wondering what you would do with the pieces on the ground floor now... would they go into storage in the MoCA avatar?
[12:56] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): yes of course
[12:56] Rosie Gray: ㋡
[12:56] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): with photos and a list if they are to be returned to the space
[12:56] Rosie Gray: and, would you spruce up the greeting area and signage too?
[12:56] Laura Azalee: <---was thinking of a basement XD
[12:57] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): I can look at that. And am open to suggestions
[12:57] Rosie Gray: great
[12:57] Rosie Gray: okay thank you
[12:57] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): I won't make any permanent changes
[12:57] Kyoko Furse-Barzane (samara.barzane): done

[13:04] Lyubov (20180414): Lots of text incoming... but it is fully written in the Agenda as well, for reference...
[13:04] Lyubov (20180414): 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.
[13:06] Rosie Gray: Motion to update the language of NL 4-6 Financial Reserves Act as above.
[13:06] Lyubov (20180414): second
[13:07] Lyubov (20180414): Does anyone have any questions or comment about the proposed text, before we vote? If approved, the text will be posted to the Forum for discussion, then we may vote to change the act at our next meeting.
[13:07] Rosie Gray: it looks pretty straightforward to me
[13:07] Pip Torok: nothing from me
[13:07] Lyubov (20180414): Yes, ty, simply replacing "city" with "CDS:
[13:07] Em Warden (emwarden): Waterproof in my opinion

[13:12] Rosie Gray: ack, I completely forgot that I suggested that

[13:13] Rosie Gray blushes
[13:13] Lyubov (20180414): I found that further changes to the Financial Reserves Act quickly became complicated and would affect other acts as well. So, I suggested that we only deal with the cosmetic changes for now.
[13:14] Tanoujin Milestone nods
[13:14] Lyubov (20180414): Effectively, Sudane does keep the required 2 months reserve in Rudeen's account
[13:15] Lyubov (20180414): Rosie, should we motion to reconsider the proposed new Financial Reserves Text? Or, proceed what we have now?
