NEW BUSINESS
Motion One: Fleet Status Report (mc7 of 9):
With Admiral Mc7of9’s fleet report as a guide CSS discussed in length the current activity within the fleet, it was generally agreed that things were at a bad low point. With that in mind suggestions were given as for ways to get activity back up.
It quickly became clear that the preferred option was to have a fleet wide crew shuffle, as the two newer ships of the site USS Rainier and USS Enzio whose crews had recently been shuffled and merged seemed to be the ships with highest levels of activity.
It was decided that Admiral Drew, Sonak, Lin and Mc7 would start putting thought into how this would be achieved as well as get in contact with all ship CO’s to discuss the plans.
2. Motion Two: Motion Two: Site Advertising (Lin and Drew)
With the need for new members becoming increasingly prevalent CSS discussed ways to get Section 47 noticed on the web, Admiral Drew suggested getting the old webrings back up and running while Admiral Smith would work on a banner exchange with other Star Trek sites.
Use of Facebook and Titter were again discussed and an update on how that was working was given.
It was also mentioned that Admiral Reckus must remember to update the Announce list so that new members who forgot to check the boards would find out when they were assigned to a ship.
Motion Three: Proposal to introduce SMS simming to Section 47 (Reckus and Jackson)
.Admiral Reckus and Captain Jackson brought the proposal of introducing SMS simming to Section 47, The reluctance of forcing members to participate by switching current board ships for SMS ones was raised and it was quickly suggested that a Test Ship would be made and only manned by volunteers.
This raised the question of who would command the SMS test ship, Admiral Reckus volunteered and was quickly accepted given her vast experience with SMS, Admiral Reckus was asked who her choice of Executive Officer would be and after discussion of viable candidates she decided on Captain Jackson given her experience with SMS sites.
Vote to Introduce a Test SMS Ship with Sonak Reckus as CO and Stacey Jackson (secondary character) as XO
Ayes – 5
Nays – 0
Abstentions – 0
Motion Passed
Motion Four: Discussion on the use of commendations, incentives and rewards for simming and helping the site.
With Captain Reynolds needing to leave early this motion was tabled for next meeting.
