 Announcements/Agenda/Administrative

Approved 3/7 minutes with two modifications:

1) Added a note that the PC approval of the ANSWER rally on March 18th was modified from the 12 noon to 5 pm approved by the PC to 12 noon to 4 pm to accommodate the KPFA schedule.

2) Amended the vote on the Labor Collective proposal moratorium from 13-2-1 to 12-2-2, the final column reflecting one member who did not vote due to absence and one member who recused themselves from the vote.

On the request of LSB member Debbie Speer, the program council discussed the LSB delegation and its lack of alternates, with or without voting status. The Program Council passed a resolution stating that:

It is not the business of the Program Council to determine that nature of the constituency’s delegations, beyond the scope of our original statement of composition, and it is the responsibility of the LSB to decide whether or not alternates will be sent to the meeting, with or without voting privileges.

Vote: 8Y, 3N, 2A

Discussed the LSB list-serv and recent messages cross-posted between the program council and the LSB mailing list. Agreed by consensus that program council members are requested not to cross-post between the groups, and to issue separate message copies if needed to communicate with both groups, to avoid accidentally carrying quotes back and forth.

Discussed a motion that program council meetings be open to all members of the LSB to attend. (The motion was not specific as to whether or not visiting LSB members would be participatory or observers).  After discussion, the motion failed by consensus 
Vote: 0Y, 9Y, 2A
