Right, so, Prok kept prodding me during last night's "meeting" to make a better group (mostly for me to get off his soapbox), so I am.

I am going to hold the first Resident Action Committee on Sunday, September 4th, at 5 PM PST/Linden time (8 PM for eastern folks).

This group will be more in line with what the MJW purports to be: an OPEN discussion forum where ALL residents are invited, regardless of tier, content, axes to grind, whatever.

The forum will essentially be open-floor; dialogue is encouraged, as long as it's civil and not imflammatory to the point of rioting.

At the END of the meeting (whenever that will be), several things will happen:

1) I will collect the log, post it on the forums, and upload it to my server.
2) I will collect the "main points" of the dialogue (what was most focused on during the discussion), and email them off to BOTH Robin and Philip Linden.
3) Robin and Philip will then meet with us again at a different time later in the week (money or wednesday) to discuss our points. (This is dependent on if they respond to my email, which I am also compiling now... if they don't, I can certainly robble loud enough until they do :) )

I would like this to be a weekly thing. Multiple meetings are encouraged, so as to get maximum plurality. I picked Sunday because that's the day when I'm not at work or school; other meetings are encouraged, by all means.

The suggested meeting place will be at the Waterhead conference area (where the old MJW meeting was), so no one gets the dwell.

It is IMPERATIVE that you tell all potentially interested folks, especially ones that don't read the forums, to attend. I want everyone with issues to air to attend. I want an open, civil dialogue.

Suggestions are welcome in this thread. I will also be posting this in the Special Attractions forum.

I believe in participatory discussion, but not when it's strong-armed by a few agenda-ridden powermonkeys.

edit: dates are fun, dates are serious, if you don't know what day it is, you might go delerious (sept 4th, not 3rd)

I would like to be in on this as well, if it is for the same issues that MJW has raised. (You didn't say what it was for.)

MJW, I would point out, is also open to all residents, regardless of tier, content, axes to grind, or whatever.

Hey, I firmly believe that making a group and discussing those matters at meetings and then emailing whatever conclusions you reached (I doubt there'll be ;) ) is absolutely not the way to acheive the objective stated for justifying the creation of said group. But I approve the direct posting the log on these forums and the discussing of it there afterwards.

Can I join anyway ? :D
(the meeting, not the group)

The issues to be raised at the meeting depend on who goes and who talks. It's an open forum.

Everyone is invited.

Philip has agreed to have a meeting with us a few days after the Sunday meeting, so I hope to see you all there!

FFS! You can't even attend your OWN committee's meetings and know what's going on, and you want to join another?

Cool! I'll try to be there. Probably having company on Sunday, but he is a gamer friend of the family so he'll understand if I pop on for a bit. hehe.. Can someone send me an IM as a reminder. I may be a bit tipsy by the time the meeting starts. :o

Actually, yes. I was thinking of having the front of it say across the chest "Nice RAC!", and on the back, the "Resident Action Committee". :D

Like some company?

I don't know if I can acheive quite the level of sarcasm,

but I'll surely surpass you in the "unhelpful" department ... :)

I regret I cannot attend on the grounds of being a European and needing sleep on Sunday night.

A prime reason to host an event for our European residents. :)
