Ayal’s corporate fines proposal. (Two fines and you’re out)

Craig wants to change it to a review

Ayal says two fines per term.

Jesse > Not a demand for positions, also > positive reinforcement, not negative. Worries about it not attracting new members.

Ayal thinks that board positions should be done of free will.

Craig wants a more open dialogue.

Katie says that fines are again more of a deterrent and that people if fined once are likely to crack down on themselves.

Beth > If Alice is the problem, how is fining going to do anything?

Ayal directly responds > Fines are from deposit

Ashley > Proxy counts, good idea

Dinae > Office helper has a tangible accountability.

Hollis > It is Ayal’s job to fine people on the corp. level

Ashley > Can we bring this back to hand.

Vote on proposal > 2 stand asides. It’s in.

Discussion on office helper>

Alice – Hasn’t been doing her job. Would like to resign. Does so.

Craig – What will come of fining?

Eric – Would like accountability, but how?

Jesse – We should all be fined.

Craig – We should all be responsible

Ayal – Job desc. Is in corp. handbook. Would feel bad about retroactive fining. Can we ask her to do some work to make up for it.

Melanie – Would like some help

Hollis – Maybe one week’s worth of fines? Likes idea of asking her to train office helper.

It’s so. Out.
