*** lets' talk about checking authorization boxes. Either makes duplicate requests. What about giving WA access? Does it give ability to wipe out databases? Volunteer authorizer's hands are tied. Ron "wrote a program to do just that." Yea, Ron. He can do something where you type in name, and it saves it into WA. This is quite awesome. Currently a little out of whack when added new equipment. Ron will return to the project.

MMT= Call for volunteers continues. Volunteers can contribute as little as one hour of their time.

How much money is left in the kitchen budget?
  
* Spitball - like a block party where 10 people have to endorse. We can talk about a future meeting. With new voting system, what are the dynamics or quorum and things passing. What will future trends show us? Can we do financial "load balancing" between the 9 areas. What if one area had 90% of the member vote budget.

Kathryn B proposed reviewing the restructuring doc. Some discussion. Kathryn's concern is that the timing of the Board Nominee deadline (Oct 29, 8 PM) is the "exact same moment" as the vote results are announced. This issue was resolved during the member meeting and it was offered that the Annual Meeting could be moved. However, at the Member Meeting, a time shift of one hour was agreed to.
