I think adding a federal member makes sense; possibly reducing the total number of state representatives since the MEGIS representative should have the big picture for the state. A quorum should be at least 2/3-3/4 of the total members and votes should not be taken if there is not a quorum; if somebody doesn't show for 3 out of 5 meetings, we ask them to step down. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elizabeth Hertz Senior Planner Maine Coastal Program Maine State Planning Office 38 SHS Augusta, ME 04333 phone: 207-287-8935 fax: 207-287-8059 email: [log in to unmask] ________________________________ From: Maine GeoLibrary [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Smith, Michael Sent: Tuesday, July 01, 2008 4:31 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: GeoLibrary Board membership Please recall our discussion at the previous meeting, I need your comments regarding changes in the Board membership, i.e.: What the membership profile should be - including adding a federal representative and perhaps others such as we dicussed Removal of members not attending regularly Quorum # Voting # I need this by Thursday so I can compile for our next meeting. ********** Michael Smith State GIS Manager Maine Office of GIS
