3. AGM
Info/To Discuss:
- Week 8 during board games
- Who is the returning officer?
- What do we need to discuss at the AGM in addition to the regular election business?
- Is anyone thinking of proposing any motions?
- Is everyone thinking about their successors?
- Ares will create a mini advertisement for the AGM sometime this week, and we can advertise it starting next week when the hoodie orders close and that business is sorted.
- Need to create a nomination thread on the website? Last year, both facebook and the website were used and there were separate threads on both.
Actions:
- Returning officer has to be someone who’s NOT running for a role
- Ares may or may not be running depending on PhD
- NIGEL will be returning officer
- Nigel can get the powerpoint from last year off Dan
- Motions:
- Tim: officially renaming LARP equipment officer
- Nigel needs to look into electronic voting.
- We’ll be motioning in the exec handover document
- I’ll create a forum thread for nominations on the website, and we will link this thread everywhere else (FB, discord) rather than having separate threads.
4. Borrowing society equipment
Info/To Discuss:
- Someone enquired on the discord about regularly “checking out” RPGs equipment
- Discord server #RPGs, Benjamin M, Tiny Iron Man (Fri 04/01/2019): Exec, for borrowing items in the future, would it be possible to do a standing order sort of thing? Like, every Friday evening, and it's returned by the next morning (b2.02 locks permitting)?
- What's our system?
- Callum has a google spreadsheet for RPG orders - will need to update this for recurring orders.
- Callum is the only one with editing permissions - so basically, the system is go to Callum and he’ll pencil you in.
Actions:
- Add a link to the spreadsheet on the website (and an explanation, on the proposed FAQs page?)
- Add in the details of this to the exec handover document
- Will continue to keep the sign out book system for board games rather than doing it electronically
