Iðavelli Hof board meeting minutes: 12 April 2006 Members present: Phil, Jag, Dan, Danny, Eric, Ana Last meeting's minutes unanimously approved as corrected I. Bank Account Update No change in status since last meeting; we are waiting for the EIN confirmation in the mail from the IRS. II. Officer Names The title of the treasurer shall be Wealthwarder. III. Open Invite Status Dan has a draft, which was proofread. A few things need to be added; namely reference to the open blot/meeting. Dan hopes to have a revised draft ready later tonight. IV. Open Meeting Plans Gather at 6:30 Blot begins at 7:00 Meeting begins at 7:45 Danny will plan and lead the blot. Now that we know the times Danny can contact UUCH about reserving the space from 6:30 to 10:30. Danny and Jag will split the cost of the reservation at UUCH. V. Communications Concerns Dan is concerned that people are jumping the gun and doing things before the specified time. Our timing problems seem to be mostly because we're worried about first impressions, and will probably disappear soon. We trust Dan to speak for the organization without consulting everyone for approval of text first, especially when there isn't the time to get approval from the entire rede. VI. Wealthwarder Position Tammie has resigned effective immediately due to lack of time and prior committments. Tammie's resignation has been accepted. Jag will manage finances until the Þing; we hope to find someone with more available time and finance managment experience by then. Tonight Jag is wearing a shirt that says "2+2=5". Are we sure he should be filling this position? VII. Rede This seems like a good time to shrink the size of the rede, which was a bit excessive for an organization that currently has nine voting members. Danny's position will be eliminated at the Þing since he wants to devote his time and energy to other matters (see section VIII). The rede will be comprised of five members; the Jarl and four others. The Jarl will still have a one-year term, and the other four will have two year terms, so that two may be elected each year, and the others provide continuity. Responsibilies of the redesfolk will diminish significantly in the near future when all the initial startup issues have been hashed out and resolved. If there seems to be a continuity problem with the two year terms once the hof has grown significantly, the rede can expand to seven members and three-year terms again. VIII. Ritual Cycle Danny will form a committee/class to establish an annual ritual cycle for the hof based on both the lore and local climate and seasonal foundations. Work on this may not begin in earnest until after the Þing, when Danny is relieved of his rede responsibilities. IX. Lore and Rune Groups We probably should fold the lore and rune groups into the hof. We must make it very clear that participation in these classes does not require any committment to the hof, and that all are welcome to continue participation without regard to interest in the hof. Dan is willing to host the lore group as well as the rune group, since he has a larger living room and that way we can open up the lore group to all hof members. X. Bylaws Phil has a very rough draft which was discussed briefly. We should read through the draft and send comments to the rede list for discussion at the next meeting. XI. Next Meeting Thursday 27 April at 6:30pm at xxxxxx. Agenda: Bylaws Þing Anything else that comes up should be emailed to Ana for addition to the agenda. |
