[Steppes] Business meeting minutes was Re: Fall Court

[Susan Hill]

As of this date, I have received minutes for only the April Business 
meeting. I got none for May and June's have not yet been posted. In April 
there was no mention of Bids being taken for Fall court, but they were being 
taken for Artisan and Twelfth Night. As to whether or not the bid was 
awaarded properly, I don't personally have an opinion on that, but would 
rather like to address the issue of minutes.

Communication is vital to keeping our membership active and involved. I am 
very glad to see that the posting of minutes has begun since the suggestion 
was first made at March's populace, but it has been erratic, thus far. 
Perhaps it would be an idea to designate someone to be a sort of scribe at 
the business meetings who's function would be to take minutes and transcribe 
them and post them. This would take the pressure off of Her Grace, who first 
volunteered to do this and has plenty to do already. These should be posted 
within a couple of days after the meeting. The April minutes took 9 days to 
be posted, no doubt due to Her Grace's busy schedule.

It might be valuable to also submit those minutes to the V-scribe so that he 
could make minutes for say the current month and two or three months 
previous available so that we could follow continuing business via the 
website rather than do deep searches of our inboxes to find them. Some of us 
have limited storage capabilities and cannot keep all of the emails we get. 
Others have a lot of space and end up with some of the things we'd like to 
access occasionally so deep in the inbox so that it takes serious searching 
to find them. By having a place on the website to post them, most of us can 
keep current of ongoing issues more easily.

Just a couple of suggestions...

In service to Steppes, Ansteorra, and the Dream,

If you feel rather strongly that this bid was not properly handled,
or that you should have been granted the bid cause it was better
than hers then pick up the phone and call our Seneshcal, Vicar,
and/or our Vicaress.

Once our leadership posts the minutes to the meeting there should be
some mention about the bids and who was granted what. I really like
the trend lately of posting the minutes to the list by our
leadership. :)

Not to be rude, but these two emails out in reference to fall court
whether intended or not are ... rude. If they are meant for someone
specifically they should have gone to them, not to the public list.

We need all the help we can get from our membership.
