From Member Review:

1. SUMMARY -

The changing of guard for this office took place a mere two weeks ago and I am sufficiently pleased with the results thus far. Audits are being completed and the team is learning to work together. While not all of the on-call auditors are responding, I am confidant that in the next month, there will be a definite refinement of the operations of the Member Review Office.

 From Archives:

Archives: James Webster, US2002021376, 9 Feb 2005
Gave Shayne Cooley reports necessary to rebuild member’s prestige records.
 
Current project:  Working on getting reports out of old files for sw-region. I have dug up RC reports back to January of 2000.  They should be ready to go up near the end of February, as they will need to be edited for privacy concerns.  Once this is done, converting the reports from Oct 03 to present to word format will commence.
 
Ran into a snag as my Office XP 2003 stopped working and I had to revert back to office 2000 until I resolve this problem.  This is an FYI and only a minor problem. Sorry about being one day late, had a late night with my critters PTA last night and the last thing I wanted to do was get on the computer.

From Events:

1. Current Events

For the first quarter of 2005, we'll hold a Regional clothing drive.  Also a blood drive for the year.  I'm hoping to see an increase in participation for the regional charity drives, especially with ICC taking place in October in Phoenix.



2.  PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS

Problem

I still haven't seen any prestige awarded for backdated charity drives included in my last report.  I still have several people asking about this, and am concerned with the possibility of people losing the prestige they've earned.

Response

There are several members listed in Prestige Recommendations, if there are people missing then send this list of people to the Regional Charities Office, also send in any information regarding the confirmation from the Regional Office that set the standards, qualifications and pre-approved prestige award numbers.


3. QUESTIONS/CONCERNS

Question /

Concern

None at this time other than awarding backdated prestige.  I would appreciate a response regarding the award of prestige so I can tell people about backdated charity donations.

Response

Again, I have had a difficulty in finding information regarding the regional sponsorship of these former charities, if you could submit this information to the Charities office we can go about awarding the necessary prestige awards.

From Independents:

Independents: Harold Hulbert, 10 Feb 2005
1.  SUMMARY

I have completed yet another audit. I had to send back several other audits requesting updated information. Received and reviewed compliant from member.
 
Completed prestige review and awarded MC 7 to Rudy Fuentes US2002022628 and MC 6 to Jeremy Ambrose US2002034177.
 
4.  PROBLEMS/SOLUTIONS

Isaac Avery US2002023567 Membership expired on 1/1/04 - This member is being taken off of my tracking and should be removed from all lists. 
 
The following Chapter has not filed any reports in two or more months.
                    CA-042-I Sangria De Lago
                    CA-059-I Hold the Cheeze
                    CA 063-I Apathia Nocte 
                    HI-005-I Hawaii 5 Oh
I believe that "Hold the Cheeze" and "Sangria De Lago" have folded. I have sent out a request to the CC'S of "Apathia Nocte" and "Hawaii 5 Oh" in the hopes that the CC or a member of that chapter will respond to question.  Please advise.

5.  QUESTIONS/CONCERNS

Sent to RC

1. PROJECTS

ONGOING

Still working on updating the contact information of all the chapter information. Nathan Pulley is the contact on that project.
 
Getting really old reports to the website and creating an online archive of those said reports. Currently the reports are with Chris Williams for review since they contain sensitive information such as disciplinary actions etc.
 
SW Region Prestige DB is still being worked on but I have not heard from Lisa for quite some time. I'll send her another email or IM and bug her about it.
 
iCamarilla: still waiting to hear back from National about this. I am getting a lot of emails from folks about it but nothing from National. Is anyone up there managing this at all? Perhaps I'll pull some strings now that I'm the webmaster for the TT development team and get something done but I do not want to step on any toes.

COMPLETED

SW Region Staff contact page completed. Thanks to Nathan Pulley for this. The page should be live later on today.
 
RC Report for November and RST Report for December were put online.
 
New member review standard operating procedures were put online.
 

Several members were asking to view pages of the old website. I setup a mirror of that site at http://www.rack-networks.com/swregion/old_site. Actually I had the mirror sitting around for a long time. Most of the old site is there. If the links are broken please don't ask me. I cannot do anything better than what's already there.

2. QUESTIONS

QUESTION

Are we making any progress on getting the domain camarilla-sw.org back?

RESPONSE

As of yet no, we need to begin an investigation on who currently has control of it, and how best to get it back.

 

QUESTION

ICamarilla question. See above. :)

RESPONSE

Progress being made.

Meeting Notes:

Called to order 4:50PM by Vicki

Reminder from Damon: many folks’ memberships expired yesterday – and many of them haven’t renewed.  Please get your renewals in ASAP (general discussion on when various memberships expired to clear up confusion). Prestige database will be moving to new servers shortly, which should reduce downtimes on the site, as well as the Tithe website as a whole moving. Remember, it is your responsibility to keep track of your prestige & submit items – keep your own copies up to date as well.

Folks please remember if you come to games late, you’re still responsible to sign in/check in & pay if you’re going to play.  It keeps us having somewhere to play.  Please be on your best behavior here (at this site) today, because Kiel is the individual who’s secured it for us, but he hasn’t been to games in a while.
Speaking of game sites, we need sites!  Please get information to Jen Boyd or Charmain (or Vicki) if you can help with this.

>From Char: We’ll be having our usual presence at the sci-fi conventions this year, and are working with Ivan at ConEvents – their convention this summer will be running sanctioned White Wolf events – so will essentially be our ‘regional event’ this year.  No word yet from national about further details for ICC (but you might think about booking rooms at the hotel).

>From Brad: Regional charity drives are blood & clothing; domain level drives are clothing, blood, and canned/non-perishable food. Please participate.

Discussion on possible fundraiser for Tsunami relief, looking for ideas & volunteers.

>From Harley:  Charles has stepped down as Requiem VST.  Mage is also in need of a VST although Joe Manfrida has been doing well at holding things together in the interim.  Harley intends to run the games on the new VSS (not the one we’ve seen before) for about 3 months, to give the domain a chance to form the game a bit before dumping it on a new VST.  He will send a request for letters of intent for both venues shortly.

>From Bosco:  Voiced concern (echoed by several) that we’re trying to start a game with no inter-character relationships.  General discussion on possible solutions & ideas, folk are encouraged to build relationships while we’re getting things up & running.

>From Char: Please be on the lookout for a silver colored metal tray with gold colored handles – the apartment management believes it was here before the social, but hasn’t seen it since.

Meeting adjourned.
