== Scheduling ==
I think I'd like to try having our first meeting sometime next week.
Please go to
http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=rinzrbq6IH1_ZeGy8QlHAOQ&t=6717161777657229150
and fill in your availability --- Y for available; D for available, but
only with difficulty, N for not available; and M for possibly available.
I'd also like to know if anyone will be away from Boston for more than,
say, three days at a time or so for the rest of the summer so I can
figure out if we're going to need to take a break at some point.
Folks on ua-fprc-listeners: I can see the scheduling emails being pretty
pointless to most of you. On the other hand, in the interests of
transparency I lean towards making just about everything public. If
anyone has a preference about me sending emails containing just
scheduling to ua-fprc versus ua-fprc-members, let me know... If I don't
hear anything, I'll probably stick with ua-fprc.
== Topics ==
The list of current likely major topics for discussion is as follows:
* UA reserve
* Senate Discretionary & Fresh Fund
* Finboard
* UA Operating
* Annual vs. semesterly
* Appropriate use of UA operating budget
* Guidelines on acceptable actions in return for outside funding
* Apportionment of Student Life Fee
* process for handling summer expenditures
* Exec financial accountability, including Class Councils
Does anyone have a topic that they'd really like to start with? Maybe
the Senate funds?
Is anyone particularly interested or uninterested in any of those
topics? I'll do what I can to ensure everyone who indicates particular
interest in a topic can make all the meetings on that topic (and I'll
try less hard than usual if you aren't interested).
