Hi.
Attached please find two pieces of policy for today's meeting. Also there will be time to review the policy language in the meeting itself -- I'll go over the changes when we start reviewing each policy.
Some notes:
Minimum Minutes Policy
* Added the requirement that houses should keep minutes for 3 years, starting in Spring 2011.
Staff-Issued Conditional Contracts
* Based on discussion with Jan and Kim, added more member protections as suggested by Jan:
- member given at least 72 hours to decide whether to sign the contract
- member must be notified of rights explicitly in writing
* Also added requirement that good-faith effort will be made to locate substitute Member Advocate if normal one is not available or has a conflict. Member will always have access to a Member Advocate during the 72 hour window
* Tried to get paragraph about corresponding with house manager right once and for all
* Based on correspondence with Member Advocate, made it explicitly clear that member could ask that overly vague language (e.g. "Member shall refrain from using inappropriate language") be clarified
* Made it clear that member could explicitly asked that conditions be removed, though doing so is at the discretion of the staff member.
I think this is looking much better and makes it clear to staff and members what rights and responsibilities are.

Hi all,
I just realized that the conditional contract version sent out wasn't quite the final one (a quirk of the order used to attach the document). Updated please find the latest one, which adds two more explicit rights.
