The meeting was called to order at 7:35. In attendance were Tom Cayler, Charles Gerber, Debbie Mullins, Laura McGill and Andy Padian, and were a quorum.
A discussion of SC motions and implementation schedule was opened by Tom. As a recent SC decision was not given a timetable, the implementer of the timetable moved too quickly for some. Discussion in future to add a timetable to motions if they appear to be too much work for some individuals.
