Core Team Meeting May 23, 2006 Minutes

West (Ma'ikwe):

Mark Lakeman requested mke some kind of donation back to Portland City Repair, $50 for travel plus a donation of $250-500. Could we use auction money, based on how much is raised?

Dinner Friday night: there are some really good reasons to do it. We need to do registration on Friday, as much as possible. With registration starting at 4, and the community tour, need to bridge to the event Friday night.

We need to finalize a process to decide who the workshop presenters will be. Just the west? Not ideal. Syd suggested maybe Core Team provides general guidelines; West proposes a line-up; and then final approval from FIC Oversight team. Ma'ikwe: FIC Oversight doesn't need to finalize. We decided that the West make a proposal and the Core Team review. Ma'ikwe will send a list of names to the Core Team. Core Team folks will get back to M. about what it knows about those folks. 18 people are proposing multiple ideas--more than enough content for the whole time. Ma'ikwe will send some of the ideas that she has already culled.

There is nothing that serves as an overview of the Pacific Northwest communities scene. There are NW presenters, but not doing that kind of focus.
