1. Infoco fall meeting schedule

After a long discussion on availability, trying to stay in the second week
of the month to be before the community meeting on the 3rd Monday, Tuesday
is the only day that will work! So we'll stay with 2nd Tuesdays, 6:45 to
7:45 on 2nd Tuesdays.


2. Monday's community meeting

Went over the agenda

Will meet in Game Room to use projector

Don't know if TS will be meeting in Dining Room or not. They had some
concerns about where they would have their childcare.

Amy will remind childcare - Michael and Kate.

F&L item for decision for the one-time-only item

Budget presentation


3. Skills and Thrills
Discussed the topic decision coming to the first meeting in October, will
be brought by Process cmtee.
Also some pre-work before Nov 9 will happen with Laird and with work cmtee,
so we should plan to block out some time for that.


4. Talked about the "Coming to Agreement" document from the Laird
facilitation training.

Could do skits where we role play different versions of stand asides,
blocks, and exploring if they're valid or not, and how to record them.

There's a thread this week on cohousing-l about how you check the validity
of a block. Some communities have some detailed check - is there 25%
agreement that the block is an issue at endangering the community or going
against its vision. I think we could do well to do some work in to, how do
you check for the validity of a block.

Its the kind of thing where its really nice to have it in place when you
want it! Sunward went through a really tough time and needed to come up
with these ways to validate blocks when they were in the middle of a tough
situation. Better to have it ahead of time if you can.

Need to balance it with, not having too much process. But the good thing is
it won't come up very often, don't have many blocks.

After talking realistically about schedules and availability, we'll look at
December for this and for the role plays.

5. Next meeting
Tues, Oct 8. Elph and Jillian will be away.
