From rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org Tue Nov 15 13:28:26 2005 Received: with ECARTIS (v1.0.0; list llg-members); Tue, 15 Nov 2005 13:28:26 -0800 (PST) Received: from rlpowell by chain.digitalkingdom.org with local (Exim 4.54) id 1Ec8Lo-0002OI-Gl for llg-members@lojban.org; Tue, 15 Nov 2005 13:28:24 -0800 Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2005 13:28:24 -0800 To: llg-members@lojban.org Subject: [llg-members] 2005 LLG Annual Meeting Thread Message-ID: <20051115212824.GM8740@chain.digitalkingdom.org> Mail-Followup-To: llg-members@lojban.org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.9i From: Robin Lee Powell X-archive-position: 77 X-ecartis-version: Ecartis v1.0.0 Sender: llg-members-bounce@lojban.org Errors-to: llg-members-bounce@lojban.org X-original-sender: rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org Precedence: bulk Reply-to: llg-members@lojban.org X-list: llg-members The meeting begins now. John Cowan (the President) is unexpectedly out of the country most of this month, and I haven't heard anything from Nick Nicholas (the VP) in a long time, so John has given me permission to run the meeting. I will be running the meeting with Jay Kominek's help. Please treat both him and I as the co-chairs of this meeting. We're going to go through a lot of things by acclimation (i.e. ram them down your throats as quickly as possible) because there's a government reporting deadline that we are very, very close to. This means that a lot of things will be passed by asking if anyone objects. If you don't say anything, they'll be passed, so be prepared to speak up. I've tried to mark all of these places with "IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION". 2) Reading of minutes Read them yourself at http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=LLG%202004%20Annual%20Meeting%20Minutes IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION within a week, i.e. by Tue Nov 22 22:00:00 UTC 2005, the minutes will be taken as approved. 3) Officer's reports As far as I know, the President and Vice President have nothing to report, since nothing much happened in their baliwicks this past year. Therefore, IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION within a week, i.e. by Tue Nov 22 22:00:00 UTC 2005, the reports from the President and Vice President will be waived. Treasurer's Report ------------------ This is an amended copy of my report to the board Tue, 4 Oct 2005. Main account balance: $2,264.80 Main account balance according to QuickBooks: $2,109.51 Still don't know where the extra $150 came from; should be able to figure that out next quarter now that I have the documents in question. PayPal account balances at $590.63 That means we have a total of: $2,855.43 In addition, the Treasurer has not missed a single quarterly report this year. One quarterly tax filing that was late has been paid for out-of-pocket ($10). IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION within a week, i.e. by Tue Nov 22 22:00:00 UTC 2005, the treasurer's report will be taken as accepted by the membership. 4) Committee reports BPFK Report ----------- We have completed the following checkpoints, representing about a third of the language: * BAI #1, Completed 16 Jun 2005 * Magic Words #1, Completed 11 Feb 2005. * gadri #1, completed 25 Dec 2004 (Christmas present). * Letterals #1, completed 17 March 2004. * Aspect #1, completed 24 May 2004. (see http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=BPFK+Checkpoints&bl ) We are currently mired in the UI checkpoint, mostly because of near-total lack of activity on the part of the vast majority of the commissioners. We really, really need more active BPFK people, but those people also need to be pretty skilled Lojbanists. Ideas very much welcomed. IF THERE IS NO OBJECTION within a week, i.e. by Tue Nov 22 22:00:00 UTC 2005, the BPFK committee report will be taken as accepted by the membership. There are no other extant committees. -Robin -- http://www.digitalkingdom.org/~rlpowell/ *** http://www.lojban.org/ Reason #237 To Learn Lojban: "Homonyms: Their Grate!"
