I vote yes on #1 and 4. I am willing to do this because this does not commit me or the AGA to anything at this time. However, I would like to hear some discussion on #2 and 3 before I cast my vote on those issues. (sorry that I did not respond immediately) I think that "call for discussion" is appropriate or even required by Roberts Rules after a motion is 2nded. I would like to better understand a few things. I surmise from John's discussion with Charlene that his donation is intended to defry the cost of making tapes.... with the clear implication that he will get a set for his club... but also to help other clubs. Therefore it seems to me that once we accept his conditional donation, and we give a copy to Madison, then we are also committed to give or sell one to other organizations. Then when he nicely asks, will we then be expected to give him a copy of the video or CD... which in turn means that we are expected to sell the videos or CDs? Neil >Should we be voting on this here? If so, I'll make the following motions. We can vote on the issues separately if that works better. > >1. I move that we allow Charlene to arrange for the TN Aquarium staff to produce audio tapes of any conference speakers who agree. Future appropriate uses of these tapes will be decided by SC vote. > >2. I move that we give one set of these tapes to John Glaser with the written agreement that the tapes are not to be duplicated, and are for use only for his local aquatic plant club and its members. > >3. I move that we accept his $1000 donation toward the conference, and that we send him a BIG thank you note. > >4. I move that we allow Erik to video tape any conference speakers who agree. These tapes are to remain in Erik's hands and may be accessed by the AGA for purposes agreed to by the Steering Committee at a later date, but will otherwise only be for his private use. > >Does that cover everything? > >Karen > ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@thekrib.com with "unsubscribe aga-sc" in the body of the message.
