After extending the meeting for 15 minutes, we moved on to hear the Treasurer’s report. Two motions were presented and approved:
The Web Liaison gave a report about the new website. An email was sent out to Trusted Servants doing world service to look over the new website and give feedback. This testing time would last about one week. Following this, the group would decide how to organize the feedback and implement any needed changes. Our goal is to have the website up and live on or before the beginning of CSC - July 8, 2014. One major piece of feedback was related to accessibility to the website using a screen reader. Concern was expressed during the meeting about accessing the Delegate Package during CSC. The Web Liaison will discuss this with the webmaster and the web developer to insure that the package is available without interruption.
Due to lack of time, the following issues on our agenda will be discussed and decided via email as an extension of our meeting:
Dates for the next meetings are:
