[SFGP Rules] can't make it next week
Hello, I cannot make it to next week's meeting as I am taping a show, and will not be out of the studio until about 8 p.m. And then I told Jodie at the Bike Coalition that I would help her clean up after the SFBC event at the LGBT Center, which is just up the street from the studio. Also, it looks like I might be out of the state for the first week of June when have our next scheduled meeting.

I think we can take care of business online. One thing we tried to do last month was change WG quorum (for all decision making) to 3. There were concerns at the CC that some WG, e.g. GROW, need lower quorum. There was a suggestion that we word it in such a way that the default is 3, but could be set lower by the GM for particular WGs. Of course, every WG chair can currently pretty much change meeting dates unilaterally--is this something we want to preserve for the sake of flexibility? (the other bylaw change, re the GM quorum, passed 1st reading, so we just have to remember to bring it up again this month) JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc@sfgreens.org) http://sfgreens.org/
Again, I wish I had the exact language of the bylaws change that we approved (I looked at the minutes from the GM and the exact language is not there). Here's a go at it: Quorum for working group decision-making shall be three, unless a working group specifically applies to the County Council and the General Membership for a different quorum, and the County Council and General Membership approve. I will not be here for the June Rules meeting either (but I'll be back for the Haight Ashbury Festival).

It's in our last Rules Cmte minutes.

I don't think this satisfies Micheas' concern that the WG chairs often need to make decisions unilaterally (e.g., regarding meeting scheduling). Micheas, any suggestions? JMC -- John-Marc Chandonia (jmc@sfgreens.org) http://sfgreens.org/
