Motions 1-5 were orally proposed, but the motions are not in the minutes.

Where are the motions?

Minutes need to be available at the next meeting for approval by the members that they are recording the actions of.

I would not vote to approve motions that were put in writing, but were not put in the minutes.

This seems to be the issue with the Urban Outreach / Outreach issue that was so contentious 1-28-12.

Can someone let me know where I can view these motions?-------I am guessing that the motions are the Who What When part that is part of the form that is used to make the proposal. Motion 1 is not clear to me as addressing how it amends the previous Outreach in bylaws or previous agreements. Where are the minutes of the meetings where that occured?

David Jacobs

My apologies that this wasn't posted immediately after the ga. I thought it would be along with the minutes. Here is the motion. For your clarification, David, UO was never a committee, so we are not duplicating that committee, only expanding outreach and formalizing the outreach committee. Urban outreach can continue to autonomously work for OS>
