10:11 pm	December 4th 2004 Minutes from December 4, 2004 Membership Meeting Voting Members: 17+ Secretary: Jesse - We’re meeting with BPD Area Coordinator Shira Wednesday. - We discussed volunteer recruitment. We should recruit more people from different scenes. Ideas included having a “New Worker Night,” an orientation video, more descriptive job descriptions, a KALX public service announcement, and continuing giving “the spiel” from stage. - A proposal for a Gilman picnic/BBQ in July was tabled. - The next NOBOSS meeting is 12/15/04 at Modern Times Books in S.F. - Open Mic night was free, and about 25-35 people total showed up. Using a plug in mic (so no soundboard use was needed), it was all spoken word acts. Ben collected an e-mail list and may turn this into a regular night. - We discussed hardcore shows, the lack of punk shows, and local bands having a tough time getting shows. Dan is speaking with Mitch of Rocknroll Blitzkrieg about booking some garage-punk shows. - A 6th band is on the Queercore Blitzcore tour, so that show (12/11/04) is now 6 bands (unanimous). - Pat is showing some free movies the afternoon of 1/15, he’ll try to move it to the 16th (unanimous). - We are attending the 12/15/04 Planning Commission meeting to support West Berkeley Association of Industrial Companies (WeBAIC) about the Berkeley Bowl issue. - We will set aside time in the next 3 Gilman meetings to discuss the security procedures. We are approving the ones we have now and can amend/refine them later (Yes- 13, No- 0, Abstain- 3). An amendment that says that John, Alex, Jesse, Ben, and Mike can change these without Membership Approval also passed (Y-8, N-2, A-4). - The meeting notes are being posted on Live Journal.com by Jemuel and Jesse (who both have the access passwords). Minutes are still being typed up and posted at 924 and being saved in electronic format as before. - After extensive discussion, we decided the following about smoking within Gilman: We will have a 5 minute smoking break during membership meetings, otherwise smoking is not permitted during meetings (Y-9, N-3, A-1). Smoking is allowed during count-out at the coordinator’s discretion, otherwise smoking is not permitted in the office (Y-9, N-7, A-1). An amendment to allow smoking in the office failed (Y-5, N-8, A-2). Amendments to allow smoking at any time in the office at the coordinator’s discretion and to split the membership meetings into 1/2 smoking 1/2 non-smoking [like the AA and NA meetings] were not voted on as the successful amendments passed first and made the latter amendments moot. - Brian Edge paid back the $5000 Gilman Street loaned him to print the Gilman book. - We tabled x-mas sleepover and promotion agenda items to next meeting. *Next Meeting 12/18/05* (4 Comments |Comment on this)
