SR - P meeting

[Dennis and/or Dory Grace]

Salut Cozyns,

Lyonel aisai.

Mistress Meadhbh says:

I hate to load the web with me-too missives, but I agree.  We need to plan
our meetings carefully and allow adequate time between meetings for
information dissemination.  I don't think we should try to firm up the next
meeting time until Fynnon Gath (although tossing out suggestions should be
okay).  I do think this topic should come up in every business meeting, at
least as a reminder that the topic is alive and under consideration and
that the next meeting will be held at _______.

Mistress Meadhbh further notes:
>As for the folks I spoke to, it doesn't matter whether or not they are in our

principality

(if this

Good points.  Which group?  

As a side note:  once a group of, uh, groups starts to officially vie for
principality status, the only votes that will count will be those of the
groups involved.  If--say--Bryn Gwlad, Tempio, and Emerald Seas decided
they wanted to form a principality that excluded everyone else, the only
members who would be polled are the citizens of those three groups.
Objections from nearby groups might be noted, but their votes wouldn't be
counted.

And Mistress Meadhbh closes with:
>Finally, my comment had nothing to do with 'talking this up on the net'.
It had
>everything to do with NOT holding a meeting the Sunday after Kingdom Dance
and
>Music Symposium.  If we wait until Ffynon Gath, I think it will be a more
diverse
>group with representation from a number of groups.  Not just another Bryn
Gwlad
>meeting.

I can't agree more.  I was surprised at the high Bryn Gwlad percentage at
the Tempio meeting.  We really need to hear from the other groups, and we
need more than just a few voices from each group.  It's great hearing that
all the groups in the Southern Region are polling positive on this matter,
but I'd like to hear more direct input from these potential principality
players.  Not that I'm nagging, mind.
