Attendance: Keone, Rachel, Rishi, Paul, Jed (SAO), Shan, Zhou, Nan
Time: 8-10:30

Jed from SAO: SAO is here to help.

anti-hazing. till nov 10. Two reminders, then derecognizing at GBM.
Transparency + give them a last chance. Put deadbeat groups on-line
before GBM.
Rishi will take diff of groups that exist and groups that signed the form.

Agenda for GBM:
Elections for two openings: grad member at large, student member at
large; UA rep needs to be officially appointed (currently filled by
Paul)
Small presentation for election: Keone
New group criteria presentation: Shan
Townhall attended by 6-7 people, two members very vocal, though not
necessarily about what we were talking about. So need to regulate
discussion at GBM to not waste everybody's time.
Apparently the current ASA constitution was never approved by GBM.
Encourage people to apply to LEF/Arcade
Useful for students to know the SAO staff -- SAO staff will come and
give 5 min presentation. Resource fair .. maybe afterwards? Or maybe
in a different venue. Midway .. nah. ASA website .. SAO website
probably gets more hits. At least we should announce it.
Announce list of de-recognized groups.

Votes on groups:
Roosevelt Institute: 7-0-0 full
Sustainability @ MIT: 7-0-0 (change name to this from (?), merge SAVE into this)

Put fresh fund application on-line
Do we want to encourage merging of groups? How would we do that?

Put guidelines on-line? They'll be changed in a week anyway.
Appeals:
Sloan IDC: Sloan name important to them, but we're still not convinced.
Nerds of Christ --> MIT Alpha Omega (sure)
Saudi -- waiting on reply from them
Greek IV -- waiting on reply from them
Next Act: 5-1-1 no
HST: 7-0-0 stand ground

ASA font -- what is it?
need key for bulletin board
workshops in coffeehouse -- student groups are still coming with
inflated budgets
