Is there any reason pre-registered Council members couldn't pick up their badges at the Governance Institute that morning, if we're really going to be that thorough in checking? We would all have the email confirming our registration. It sounds like we're asking members who don't have the option to ...

Oh Karen, thank you for letting me know I sent the message I meant for Council to the PLA Board and vice versa - I wouldn't change what I said, though obviously y'all don't need to send me your thoughts, you can just contribute (lolz).

Found In Egroup: ALA Council \ view thread
I believe the question at hand is one of policy vs practice: practice has been Councilors have been expected to pay to attend conference to participate in Council meetings (conference registration being a separate cost from travel), but policy says Council meetings are open to all members and does not ...

Sara, I love the points you bring up! As part of the goal to make Council more accessible to all - including councilors - we need to think beyond the everything-happening-in-person-at-conference model. I agree with Ann wholeheartedly: I think so much of the discussion that should happen on the Council ...

I want to thank Jessamyn for bringing this up again - and I want to support my colleagues who have raised their concerns with these revised rules. For me, this also connects with Ann's comments about changes needing to be made to Forum. I have long felt the conversation that happens at Forum would be ...

I agree that the Council agendas are likely going to need to be reviewed from consent, particularly as new resolutions come forward in these last days.
