[quote=“Ryan Paddy”]I wonder if the tax status, online presence, and debit card questions are more national committee business?
Although if you have Muppet present then you’ve got the national committee anyhow.[/quote]
Dear sweet bureaucracy. Why have one meeting, when we can have five instead?
Right. The Auckland Committee will discuss getting a debit card for the Auckland account (an Auckland matter) The Auckland Treasurer (Liz) will go and do research on how to do this and our options. She will take her findings and report it to the National Treasurer (Liz) who will then make a recommendation to the National Committee about whether the National Committee account needs one (probably not)
Then, the Auckland Committee will have a discussion about what the Auckland larping centre would like in the way of online presence. The Auckland Marketing Officer will make her submissions to the National Marketing Officer.
As for tax status, it’s a reminder for the Auckland Treasurer that she needs to be in attendance at the meeting, and to reassure the Auckland Committee that the National Committee is handling the tax matter.
I know that this is an important procedural point, and I know that eventually we’ll settle into National vs. Regional business differences, and I know that when we have thousands of members this will really pay off, but man right now it is just annoying that the same people have to go have a different meeting to discuss things.
