3.1 Constitution Revision
* Status report of the RA; previous topic "Constitution Review Article III, Sections 1 and 2, and CDSL 16-07 Scientific Council Affirmation Procedures Act to bring them into Alignment", see also https://forums.slcds.info/viewtopic.php?t=9954. To keep the time frame of the meeting, we should focus on the following two topics with a maximum length of 20 minutes each:
3.1.1 Establishing a Pro Tempore Solution for the Chancellor
* For all other constitutional powers and NGOs, pro tempores are elected for the case that the presiding person (LRA, Dean, Chair etc.) is unavailable. The only exception is the Chancellor. We should discuss ways how to fill that gap in times of temporary or permanent absence of the Chancellor.
3.1.2 Revising Article IV Factions
* Currently only focused on the Factions which have been dissolved many years ago, but now in the discussion to be revived, it has been internally discussed either to delete the article completely, to revise the Faction regulations according to the present situation in the CDS and to move the organizational details in a law, or to widen up the scope of the article on all NGOs and to leave the details to laws, if required.
3.2 Further Development of the VWEC Relationships
* Kyoko has informed several CDS persons in charge through e-mail that she has resigned from the VWEC Admin Team. We should discuss and agree how we will keep the official contact to the VWEC in the future: by an executive officer nominated by the Chancellor, by somebody delegated by the RA or via an NGO to be established for this purpose.
4 Citizen Concerns
5 RA Member Concerns
5.1 Creation of Topic Identifiers (Almut)
* To make it easier to trace the progress of topic discussions, it has been proposed by several RA members to develop a topic identifier system. We should assign that task to two responsibles in order to present a concept on the next RA meeting. These identifiers would probably also make the distinction "Old Business" and "New Business" surplus.
