March 2005 Allthing- Subsidized BOD Meetings - 2005/02/17 08:18 I'm reposting the issues of the Allthing, so that we can have separate discussions on each type of issue without comments getting lost in the shuffle between issues.

Issue #7 Text:

Allthing Proposal #7
In the BOD appendix, regarding BOD meetings, change:
1.4. The B.O.D. shall meet to discuss business not less than once every three months.
To:
1.4. The B.O.D. shall conduct a Scheduled Meeting to discuss business not less than once every three months.
And change:
1.5.1. Chairman of the Board - responsible for setting meeting dates and locations, creating the agenda, and running the meetings.
To:
1.5.1. Chairman of the Board -responsible for organizing Scheduled Meetings, determining the location of Scheduled Meetings, creating the agenda, and running the meeting.
And add:
1.8.a. If the scheduled BOD meeting is to be held at a restaurant, up to $10 of each BOD member's meal will be paid for by the Empire, up to a total of$50.
Rationale: This is to establish a name to the required meetings and to encourage BOD members to attend these required meetings.

It has been a long time since I was on the BOD and I am saddened that attendance is so low that this seems like a good idea. I do how ever assume that it was proposed by a member of the BOD who knows better than I do what works. Still at 4 meetings a year and $50 a meeting we are paying $200 just to get the BOD to do their job? I am pretty undecided on this but tending towards a no vote.

Re:March 2005 Allthing- Subsidized BOD Meetings - 2005/02/17 08:18 As a member of the BOD I see no reason to pay $200 a year of BoD functions (nice as it may be), though I would like to see the BoD meetings being posted on this forum so interested parties could attend.

Re:March 2005 Allthing- Subsidized BOD Meetings - 2005/02/17 08:18 I guess that I look at this as an issue that might be needed in the future. For example, if someone in Darkmoon or Crimson Dawn is elected to the board, I feel that it would be very difficult for them to make most meetings, seeing as how they're usually held somewhere in central to northern Denver. I've driven from Northern Denver to Canyon City and back twice this reign, so far. With gas prices the way they are, I guess I'd like to give at least something back to these people that could potentially be driving 250 miles (approx round trip from Arvada to Canyon City, for example) for a 2 hour meeting.

Honestly, as a BOD member, I probably wouldn't request reimbursement, as I don't need it. I think many BOD members (if this proposal passes) wouldn't request reimbursement. But I guess I'd like to have the option there for people who couldn't afford to come to the meeting otherwise.
