After the discussions on Friday, I did some thinking...
One thing that became obvious is that trying to have business
discussions as part of a "zoo" member play event like Fridays is
difficult. People (eg ME) just don't remember things that are talked
about in between playing. Dean asked if I thought we ought to have
minutes and stuff, and at the time I said no, but on consideration...
there's a reason why clubs and other organisation have developed a
standard-ish structure with boards of directors etc, and why people keep
minutes of meetings. These are solutions to problems that organisations
face, and which the VLC is facing (some people feeling overloaded, some
people feeling that they are not consulted, decisions not being
remembered). So, maybe we do need to bite the bullet and have a/some
business meetings, elect a board or steering committee, and record
decisions (that doesn't have to mean blow-by-blow minutes, just what was
decided and who agreed to do what). Unfortunately, groups which don't
take on some kind of structure tend to die when the organisers burn out.
Been there, done that. No t-shirt.
Discussion?

I also suggest that we appoint/vote for positions of (...) (24 years ago, 18-Jun-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
