[Grin] QueerConf, Group Re-Recognition Stuff, WHEN are we meeting????

[Jesse Ide]

Hey everyone!

This weekend is the annual Five-College Queer Gender & Sexuality 
Conference! <https://www.facebook.com/events/226955360761807/>
So obviously, there's so way that anything we held this Friday could 
compete with that

_/*BUT

The Group Re-Recognition deadline is in 10 days!

*/_So if we don't have an organizing meeting this week, then the 
deadline would come before our next meeting! /And we would lose 
recognition status as a group! //
/
If we have our meeting at the regular 3:30 time then that's right in the 
middle of querconf workshop session 2. And that's kinda an annoying 
time, and it might run into Darkmatter which is like, an important part 
of QueerConf that I don't want to make people miss. I understand not 
everyone is going to be at queer conference but I know that a lot of 
people will be and I want to try and accommodate as many people as 
possible.

So here's my proposal: the dinner at queerconf is also pizza, and is 
also ~5pm. So how about we have our organizing meeting during dinner at 
QueerConf? The big agenda item is finalizing our mission statement 
(which isn't necessarily permanent) and choosing someone to put their 
name down as a signer for next semester to replace Danny (this person 
would have to attend signer seminar next semester, but wouldn't 
necessarily have to actually be a signer if we can find someone else to 
do it between now and Fall) This will allow us to fill out the 
re-recognition form and remain a student group next semester. It will 
also change our name officially from Trans Student Alliance to 
Gender-Identity Resource Network.

/So if you're for having our meeting this week someone in FPH during 
dinner at QueerConf, reply to this email with Aye, if you're against it, 
reply to this email with Nay./ (And send yr reply to 
jci12 at hampshire.edu, not tsa at lists.hampshire.edu, so you don't bother 
everyone on the listserv).


Also, if you want to be a signer next semester *let me know!
*Signers handle paperwork and finances, and have made a commitment to 
attend organizational meeting and doing organizing work. They are also 
the point of contact with the administration. It doesn't mean you have 
to necessarily be a leader-type or anything like that. It just means you 
have to be reliable and friendly with staffpeoples (which isn't hard, 
because they're all pretty friendly people)


tl;dr: response with "aye" if you want to have an organizing meeting 
during dinner at queer conf in FPH somewhere, response with "nay" if 
against that idea. Consider being a signer and let me know if you want 
to volunteer (possibly via gif of Katniss)
