Thanks, Aaron for your summary! However, I do not agree with some of your findings. For example: 1. Have questions regarding projected costs, associated with any changes to the Executive Board, been shared? (i.e., number of members; number of meetings - virtual and/or in person; travel; housing; etc.) ...

Good evening, As a follow-up to the latest posts to this discussion, were all bulleted items listed in the latest email approved by Council at Midwinter 2022 or during the called meeting held March 2022? How many members of Council voted for these adoptions? If I remember correctly, the March 2022 meeting ...

Good afternoon, After following this discussion for the past few days, I would like to know if there is a "monetary cost" associated with hosting ALA Council Fora or booking the hotel room for this activity? If so, how much? If not, I do not understand why Council would oppose, or dissuade information ...

RE: Rules & Guidelines for ALA Hybrid Council Meetings

Found In Egroup: ALA Council \ view thread
Good morning, If Council is no longer a ‘policy making‘ body, as we voted on during our meeting March 2022, Council members will no longer have an option to reference policy in its new ‘advisory’ role. These type decisions (I.e., Rules Guidelines…) would be left to the discretion of the Executive ...

Found In Egroup: ALA Council \ view thread
Good evening, I thought the primary objective of this exercise (i.e., to ensure financial stability for ALA) would be realized by downsizing Council and increasing the size of the Executive Board (EB). Unfortunately, I have doubts about how ALA will achieve this objective. For example, will ALA members ...

Found In Egroup: ALA Council \ view thread
Can you imagine how much time would be wasted for the vast majority of members attending a session WHEN those individuals who must make a comment, or react to every statement made, step up to a virtual microphone? Without a time keeper to limit discussion, I truly feel that most attendees would tune-out ...
