Committee Members Attending: Rosie Gray, Lilith Ivory, Leslie Allandale, Patroklus Murakami
Regrets: Bromo Ivory
Guest consultant: Widget Whiteberry
The meeting was called to order at 10:01 am, slt
1) review the survey
There was a discussion on the survey results, with a slight difference of opinion on how to interpret them.
Discussed were survey results for those interested in mostly land sim vs. mostly water sim, and how many people said they would be interested in purchasing more land vs. exchanging land or just exploring.
Discussion on the possibility of a homestead sim mostly water, but with small islands that could have residents that would pay for the tier, similar to Monastery, or New Toulouse.
Survey results can be seen here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0ByGHT4 ... sp=sharing
Looking through the respondent names, there appeared to be 1 or 2 that were questionable as to if they are citizens.
It was agreed to remove the names of respondents from the survey, and the timestamps from the individual comment responses.
More time is required to study the results of the survey
2) decide on our in-world meeting times and format
It was agreed that all the in-world meetings should have the same questions and format, to keep it standardized.
It was agreed that Leslie will start a google-doc and draft questions related to the survey, and Pat will add questions related to legislation. The rest of the committee will also help with the document, and including Widget as our survey consultant. Meeting times will be worked out on the google-doc to ensure that there is a good spread of times and not overlapping.
3) Bromo's question about allowing anyone (citizens) who wants to to sit into these meetings
After some discussion there was a vote taken: Those in favour of opening the meetings to anyone, vote aye and those not in favour of opening the meetings to anyone, vote nay
All voted nay, and Rosie noted that Bromo would have voted in favour. Question fails.
An explanatory note is added: But to Bromo and those reading the transcript please note it is because we don't want distractions, and need to focus not because there is anything secret going on, and this is a working group. And, just that we want to have wider input but it needs to be structured via the forums and inworld meetings.
Meeting was adjourned at 11:56 AM SLT.
