Committees

Dean is making noises about presidents, finances and committees... no idea what he is talking about. Wants to put VP Finance on the Promo committee. Also wants to let exec members from Fed Bodies onto BOA committees, since there is a new structure.


- Lisa: motion is not bilingue. she can prove it: she has a freaking dictionary! Rob seconds her critical eye with a resounding ‘SWISH.’ Win for Lisa

- Rob: down with adding Fed Bodies to BOA Committees - They feel a disconnect with the Fed. According to PRT.

- Kyle: doesn t see it working communication-wise

- Rob: It is not about communicating - it is about input and connectivity (not sure he actually SAID ‘connectivity’). By allowing the exec members to sit on these committees will more accurately include the collective experience and voice of the Federated Bodies

- Dean is for the motion (it is HIS motion, but he s just saying...) - he references his PRTs, and mentions that these people are good resources since they are elected by the students as chosen representatives.

- Joel is for motion

- Kyle: repeats that he doesn t understand what the point of including them is - same argument as before: ‘it s too hard to coordinate! waaah!’

- Ted: Agrees that the Federated Bodies’ interests must be taken into account

- Ryan: It is always good to have a new perspective, and it can t hurt to have more input - esp because execs have a ‘finger on the pulse’ of student experience/interests

- Faris calls the question just to be cool (ie without any placards up) again!

 

Motion carries - Fed bodies will be allowed on committees.
