  • We will be sending two options: Yes or no.

Information

Discord Server

  • Got taken down because no one was using it.
  • Issue with Seneschal not being in charge of it, needs it to be created with official Shire email.
  • Issue with people not being interested in learning new technology.
  • At the last meeting, we weren’t sure that Discord could be used as an official form of communication. We now know we can.
  • Voted to recreate the Discord server and use it for the next meeting.
    • Grumio will create it with Laura.

Zoom account

  • We have been relying on personal accounts.

Website

  • It is not being used because there is not a lot of information that is shared to the site.
    • People need to share information to Brita so she can put it on the website.

Next meeting: June 27, 2021 via Discord.
