[GSA Council] Council meeting minutes 24 Nov 2017

Fri Dec 1 16:47:05 PST 2017

Hello Carlos,

Yes, there was issue with the laptop and we had to change the laptop in the
middle of the meeting and continue.

Apart from that, we were about to lose quorum around 3:10 or 3:20PM (I am
not sure about exact time). Since we wanted to discuss regarding the
grievance only with the councilors, we asked the councilor (who wanted to
leave) to stay back for the discussion.
Since it was a sensitive issue, we requested chair asking, "there is a
issue we would like to discuss only with the councilors, would you mind
staying out ?"
Chair was fine with that and we started discussion with the councilors. But
still we couldn't finish the entire discussion and councilors asked for a
separate meeting to discuss the same issue. So, because of this situation,
there was problem with the minutes.

After 4 days, when I had received the minutes file, there was no time
mentioned in the minutes. (Therefore, It's not mistake of minute taker, it
was just that situation). Even, I hardly remember when exactly we lost the
quorum. Therefore, I just mentioned the time when most of us left the room
expecting we will have another meeting soon.

It is not a common practice, as something like this never happened. It just
happened for the first time and we will make sure it will not repeat.

@Carlos, If 3:10PM is correct (as Chloe mentioned), please update adjourn
time with 3:10PM !!

Thank you,

Best regards,
