Hi, Hillary! Thanks for this update and for the ongoing work to make the code of conduct work for our members. One question: what does the language 'users of other sites/channels' mean? Social media like Twitter or Facebook? Zoom chat sections? Blog post comment sections? All of the above?

Hi Gina! This is not even a resolution yet but it's something I keep thinking 'this would be a great discussion to have in council forum' about so I am going to stick it here!

Today at council II I filed a motion to delay the core values report another six months to allow time for units to give input into the new core values before a final vote in June. That motion failed, and failed by quite a bit. The tally I have was 7 votes for, 138 against, 1 abstain. Whe. I discussed ...

Mark: I did not say - or even imply - that it was a 'vanity project' so I'm not sure why that's in quotes. And no, I was not on the core values task force, so I was not directly involved in the revision. If I was, I'd have said so. This revision has been in progress for years, and has been discussed ...

Every corner of this association likely has some element or other of the old core values that they'd rather keep (except for SustainRT I guess!) While it's true the word 'democratic' appears only once in this document, 'democracy' only appears twice in the old core values, which are more than twice as ...

The short answer for why they're deleting so many core values is because there was significant overlap between the old ones. So the proposed draft doesn't simply remove seven of them: only two of the proposed new core values, Access and Public Good, have direct one-to-one analogues in the old ones. The ...

Just to clarify, the bylaws amendment resolution is a revised version of the resolution I sent to this list last week, drafted by Vermont chapter councilor Jessamyn West and I. It's been referred to committee and will come back at LLX, and will hopefully result in a bylaws amendment on the spring ballot. ...

Based on the phrase 'the person so appointed will serve until the following election,' it sounds like the executive board has authority to fill vacancies until the next executive board election, after which they can be elected by council as normal to serve the remainder of the term. This is very practical, ...
