Campaigns Committee (Second Reading)

Rob: does not want to pass the motion; he says it will create a slippery slope to start recognizing individual groups - allowing for infinite groups with various afflictions, etc, which might set a precedent that is unsustainable.

 

FEDERICO with the big interruption - takes 2 minutes to tell Rob to keep to the motion - a nice, solid waste of time during a meeting that people keep trying to preemptively adjourn...

 

soooo, ANYWAY,

 

Rob: we need to draw a more specific line, and he is not sure where this motion came from (that makes 4 of us)... He does not think it would be a strong move on the board’s part

 

(gets deathstare from Danika - anonymous text observation: ‘she might cut a bitch, if she was into saying the word ‘bitch’’)

 

Cheevers = LOSES CONTROL - lunges across table and stabs Rob! ok, maybe not quite, but I am 90% sure he was considering it... In any case, he freaks out and makes the same mistake of moving away from the motion, but does NOT get a speech from Federico. Perhaps they are in ...(*gasp!*)...CAHOOTS!

 

Fancie calls the question, which carries

 

vote: Passes. sorry Rob. slippery slopes are fun! slip and SLIDE!

 

Antonio asks about debateability of second reading and is bitch-slapped with the book of Robert’s Rules by Federico! (I got a little bored and started making stuff up, OK?!?)

 

Holy Crap! FARIS moves to ADJOURN the meeting (shocking!) - can he motivate? Claims that other board members have let him know that they are going to bail to go poster, so it s going to end ANYway.

 

Federico is CHATTY - just let them VOTE.

 

CHALLENGE from Dean! He thinks it is irregular and detrimental to allow Faris to motivate

 

Michael tries to call the question, but cannot because he is only the second to speak...  fine, then! He passes the calling-ball to the next person, go!

 

It s Cheevers! He calls it!

 

vote: adjourn now? nope.


Ted wants to set an end time, but is determined to be out of order. Federico is not recognizing him and defeats his non-motion. Bow before me, minions!

 

(Not sure where the rest of the questions, debate and voting went on the whole Campaigns Committee thing... maybe you can cobble it together from the other girls' posts...? ALSO, Somehow this agenda point never happened: Second Reading: Meetings... not sure where it went - maybe I was taking a bathroom break?)
