C There are several members whose attendence to required events has been rather slack, and have missed two or more consecutive floor meetings unexcused. These members should be contacted to see if there is a good reason or explanation or if the probation process should begin for them. These members are Dan Linford, Andrew Lavigne, and Tao Chang.

G     We would like to welcome Robert Bones, our Area Coordinator, to the meeting.

G     The first order of business at this meeting is the nomination of candidates for next year’s Executive Board.  The candidates are generally required to live on floor for their entire term, though exceptions are sometimes allowed.  Nominations will remain open for one week, and voting will occur at the Floor Meeting two weeks from today.  The following nominations were seconded and accepted:

• Secretary-Treasurer: Gabe Schwartz and Chris Clingerman
• Membership: Wendy Epstein, Michael Garber-Baron, and Craig Lavine
• Community Relations: Sara Melnick and Deborah Stamm
• Tech Director: Isaac Richter and Bryan Jacobs
• Chair: Robert Ramsay and Stacy Stahl

C     The Chair has made a survey form enquiring about the members’ motivations for being on floor and how, in their opinions, they contribute to it.  Also, RA critique forms should be filled out and returned to Dylan as soon as possible.
