Wizengamot (Operations Committee) meeting 5/25/14

Present: John, Don, Neil, Sage, Blair

John gave an update on the community safety issue and we discussed. No further action needed at this time; we'll keep a safety message on the announcements board regularly.

John started the whiteboard announcements, but didn't want to be on the hook every week to do that, and requested assistance. Wiz members will take turns arriving early and putting out the message board. Don will take next week (6/1); John will take June 8. Blair said he could do it in June. Don to put a notes page on our Facebook page that we could use to sign up with.

Looking at the suggestions box, there has been nothing new for several weeks. It didn't get put out yesterday at all. The last suggestion came up after the birthday recognition for John and Polly's common birthday at the end of March; the suggestion was to lift up the birthday celebrants. We rejected this idea on a number of grounds. But the suggestion was duly considered.

Neil did a brief run-through of the information he got from Kristin about the sound system. We were glad that the sound board had been fixed, as our experience with Don's having to plug directly into the wall last week was that there was inadequate volume.

We made brief mention that first full 6-month term is up at the end of June. John, Don, and Sage will be rotating out. We'll need to get the word out for volunteers for the next term, and schedule some time at the next Meraki meeting for Wiz selections. Also: do we want to keep 6 month terms with quarterly rotation? We've found that the job does not involve all that much and perhaps burnout is not the issue we had anticipated. Also when we first set up those terms, we thought that the Wiz was going to be the board. So we could discuss this at the next Meraki meeting.

Next meeting: June 29 after dance. We expect it to be a crossover meeting with outgoing and incoming Wizengamotians.
