The next Membership Meeting is TONIGHT - Thursday, January 14th at 8pm.

Last month, we made quorum - with nothing on the agenda… :grinning:
This month, we do have something on the agenda - Let’s make quorum again!!! :relaxed:

:pushpin:Come discuss and vote on whether to continue using the current Dallas Makerspace logo, an updated version of the current logo, or the completely redesigned version.

The agenda page can be found on our wiki:
https://dallasmakerspace.org/wiki/Regular_Member_Meeting_20160114

If you are a committee chair, please add your report to the meeting. Bullet points are the standard format, so please don’t feel pressured to write a novella.

As of right now, we have ?? voting members. This means we need at least ?? voting members present to reach quorum, so please come out to the meeting.

(@AndrewLeCody or @bscharff ~ can we get an updated count, please? Thanks!)

If you have any questions, please ask!

I note that I’m not listed. I requested voting rights a few weeks ago, but never got a response.

I’m not listed either, and I also requested voting rights a month or so ago.

This is why the ticket system would be useful… these exact circumstances :slight_smile:

Email president@ and [email protected] and request it be done ASAP. If you’d like, you can CC me ([email protected]) and I can make sure it gets done.

I’m in the same boat and have forwarded you the previous request I made. Appreciate the offer to assist!

Ditto to that. I’ve forwarded to you the request sent about a month ago.
Thanks!

Good to see the meeting reminder is becoming a grassroots effort!

I won’t be able to attend, but have a great meeting!

If like @zmetzing you can not attend AND you have voting rights, please provide someone who is attending you proxy so that we ensure quorum is made.

It does seem to help! :relaxed:

Great point!

On that note, it’d probably be best to send an email to: [email protected] sooner than later, so it’s already “in writing” prior to the meeting.

If you don’t send it to the Board ([email protected]) for whatever reason, at a very minimum - please at least send a message to the person you want to act as your proxy…

Many members opt to send the message to both their proxy and the Board…

I have two proxies for CA … if any other folks would like to provide me a proxy, if for no other reason than to make quorum, please send me a PM stating I have your proxy. If there is an agenda item you’d like me vote on, let me know how you’d want it voted.

So far I’ve received 3 proxies, if you have voting rights and aren’t attending, considering giving them to someone you know or committee chair so we can make quorum. Again if there is an issue of interest you wanted voted a certain way, tell the proxy holder.

We may make quorum two months in a row!

Thanks!

We made quorum! Thanks to everyone who showed up, and to everyone who could not make it but had proxies in their place! :smile:
