[GSA Council] Urgent: Advocacy

Mon Feb 16 07:48:01 PST 2015

Hi,

What I mean is, I suggested getting an external person as a possibility,
but I'm not sure how easy or how costly it would be to do that. We don't
need to discuss the particulars of Mr. Sonin's case. I don't think it would
be appropriate to do that at a council meeting anyway. But we need to know
what's involved in getting someone external to represent a member before we
vote on this.
