** MMT - amp up the focus on prep for Open House Chicago-- MMT owns this. Need volunteer spreadsheet. Ese is going to the training; he will collaborate with Joe.
** continue to review written materials ; share a drive so we can do better document collaboration (make a folder in BoD); we may offer to do a 2-hour workshop to "bang it out" -- combine old drafts with new drafts? Orientation needs to be finalized before open house -- workshop with Ese and Andrew around October 12.
** scholarship review - discussed biweekly (alternate weeks) communication. 2 named applicants (both scholarships approved), 1 speculative/delayed. We should write an SOP about how we review these and communicate.

* Power Hammer Vote

* Welding reimbursement timeline
* Welding reimbursement timeline. The delay was auditing the check date.

**separate projects- functionality and/or authorization tracking
 
*** lets' talk about checking authorization boxes. Either makes duplicate requests. What about giving WA access? Does it give ability to wipe out databases? Volunteer authorizer's hands are tied. Ron "wrote a program to do just that." Yea, Ron. He can do something where you type in name, and it saves it into WA. This is quite awesome. Currently a little out of whack when added new equipment. Ron will return to the project.
 
**separate projects- functionality for seeing auth events in calendar view vs/and/or authorization tracking
*** OK, so here are the options for auth automation, even including quizzes
*** 4 ways
*** event on google calendar
*** event on meetup (problematic) /(calendar connects to our calendar)
*** WA - has calendar, also public -- connects to app that tracks checkins-- *** 3 tiers, member discount
***Canvas- canvas event --
 
*** Dream is widget - pings WA or AD -- do you have this auth... can tie into actual machine.
 
*** So to look at this overarching issue from a project management perspective, what can we do in parallel. Can we make life easier for authorizers while we work on a web calendar that shows ALLLLLLL (every single one) of the authorizations scheduled for October.
 
* Spitball - like a block party where 10 people have to endorse. We can talk about a future meeting. With new voting system, what are the dynamics or quorum and things passing. What will future trends show us? Can we do financial "load balancing" between the 9 areas. What if one area had 90% of the member vote budget.
 
* Dust collection - waiting on electrical
* incident needs us to write a DRC report.
* Pet Policy - needs further discussion
* Jim B has a bill that needs to be paid, pls email it to expenses@... Needs to get card replaced.
*** Kathryn wants award for most avand garde use of bullet points.
* Reminder - something about authorizers for next week- topic unknown
