Neither taking names or taking money is particularly difficult. There is no reason to have two people sitting at the front table when one can easily get both jobs done. One of the jobs of the Secretary is to keep track of the LAN itself. That can’t happen if he/she is sitting out front, away from the activities. Imagine if I were not allowed in the room in which meetings took place. The Minutes Thread would be aweful. Even before I took the job I never saw a Secretary tooling around at the table, so I’m not sitting there either. Period.
At the same time, it is more convienient to post LAN Attendance in the same thread as LAN Winners. I don’t create two seperate threads for Meeting Minutes and Meeting Attendance. I think the Constitution needs to be amended to make things more consistent. I’ll type up a proposition and read my thoughts on the matter at the next meeting.
Bottom Line: We’ll discuss it at the next meeting.
