We did the 2nd-4th and 1st-3rd bit for some time and were ending up with meetings with 2 people present.  Since going to a consistent alternating week schedule attendance and participation have picked up remarkably.  It also produced confusing and troublesome 3 week gaps at the end of some months. The proposed changes would result in 2 of those gaps. I don't want to see the momentum we've built up destroyed. Consider this a block on consensus for that provision.

I would be alright with a temporary switch to Wednesdays if it is agreeable to everyone else and they can commit to being there. Gabrielle, Laura, Skyler how do you feel about it?  Your input is important given all the positives you've created. I could do Wednesdays for now but if my back gets better enough that I can rejoin the Wednesday bike rides there will be a conflict. This has to be a temporary change only.

Another option would be to continue with the current schedule without Chris present.  He could still participate via email or maybe zoom.  There are really only 4 meeting dates in question. If he could give us a summary of the event requests and any communication he's had with people regarding the. Someone could read them off and we can discuss.  I can do events or take notes but not both. This means someone else is going to have to step up.  Volunteers?

Given that this is a long holiday weekend and a lot of people are away/not checking their email I suggest we hold off on making a final decision until Monday afternoon or at least until we've heard from all the regulars. We can still discuss online.

Good afternoon all,

I got a new work schedule that has me working on Tuesday nights until September.

How would everyone feel about moving meetings to Wednesday nights at the same time? I'm also open to changing the frequency from every other week to a set number of weeks per month. For example we could do the first and third Wednesday of each month instead. Most organizations use a month based schedule so we would be making it easier for people involved in other orgs to know when our meetings are happening.


Apologies for any inconvenience but right now Wednesdays are the only weekdays that will work with my current schedule.

If we agree on this change I would propose our next meeting be next Wednesday and the following meetings  be Wednesday 7/10 and 7/24. And then begin holding them on the first and third Wednesdays of the month.

Let me know what you think.

Thank you

Christopher
