No, I think we were still going to have that discussion after
Bruce.

Bill, on yesterday’s project conference call did we decide to
table the member ship discussion until the August meeting in order to give
Bruce the time he needs to facilitate the strategic planning session?

Thanks
to everyone who responded. The concensus I got from the responses is
that:
-
a federal representative is desired
-
otherwise board membership, quorum, etc. should not really change (mixed
opinions on adding a legislator, other industry reps, keeping the board small)
-
the Board is weighted too heavily to state agencies
-
the ability to remove delinquent members is desired after either 3 consecutive
absences or 4 absences in any 12-month period
What
I have written then, into the draft bill that is (hopefully) attached, is:
-
removal of the DAFS commissioner appointee, since the CIO is also representing
DAFS (Nancy don't take that personally!)
-
addition of a federal rep, to be nominated by the Board in a majority vote
-
removal of members by the Board in a majority vote provided the delinquent
member has missed either 3 consecutive meetings or 4 in any 12-month period
-
no change in quorum since the membership number will stay the same
At
the meeting next week I will make a motion that the Board endorse this bill and
send it on to Dick Thompson who can shepherd it into the legislative process.
