CSS Meeting – Minutes
Stardate 2402.0924 - Saturday 24th of September 2016
Voting Members Present:
• Section Admiral Gheskori – Section Admiral & Trivia Officer
• Fleet Admiral Carl Torek – Site Executive Officer & Ranks Officer
• Admiral (Commodore. Hon.) Savot – Site Second Officer, Fleet CO & Regulations Officer
• Lieutenant Colonel Aeryn Tavik – Fleet Representative
The meeting was called to order by Section Admiral Gheskori at 19:12 GMT.
New Business:
1. Fleet Report
Commodore Savot made a report of the current status of the fleet. The posting numbers on the Excalibur in particular received praise. The Raven performed fairly while both El Salvador and Enzio recognized a need for significant activity boost from their September performances. The prospect of establishing a new overall Mission Statement and plot shift were discussed as potential activity boosters, leading to Item 2.
No motion was required for this item.
2. Potential Plot Shift & Renewed Mission Statement for S47
Fleet Admiral Torek submitted an innovative idea for a way to face the Section as a whole with a fresh new scenario whose purpose would be to rekindle the spark of inspiration and renew interest on the part of the membership as a whole. The idea was detailed for all attendees’ benefit, clarification points broached and refinements submitted for consideration by all attendees; many aspects were agreed upon by all present and as a whole the response was favorable. CSS members decided the next step was for each to work on their own to compile a list of suggestions and details to discuss over the CSS email list to have something nailed down more definitively prior to the next meeting so the meeting itself could focus on how to implement the agreed-upon renovations.
Discussion commenced regarding the new forum theme created by Torek; response was positive and implementation is to proceed for interested members to be able to sample it, and if finalized CSS will provide instructions for public view detailing how to select a previous theme should an individual member prefer that to the new.
No motion was required for this item.
3. Fleet Reorganization Proposal
Colonel Tavik drafted an idea for reorganizing Section 47 as a whole, with a stronger focus on Starbase 47 than individual vessel focus thinking this might help to engender a stronger unity between site members as a whole and keep the crews less separate from one another, particularly at times such as this when overall membership is low and individual ships possess few total numbers of crew. While the potential merit of this was recognized and the motive behind it applauded by all present, it was felt by many to risk breaking away from what has always been considered a focal point of the essence of Star Trek as a whole.
No motion was required for this item. Organization will remain as-is for the time being, but with this and other potential ideas always welcomed for consideration in the future.
4. Recruitment
CSS noted satisfaction with establishing a presence among social media entities such as Twitter, Facebook, and community sites like Risa. It was agreed upon to continue keeping these venues as updated as possible, but also to re-work all to ensure a uniform thematic structure and appearance persists among all facets of S47 so that visitors seeing us on any given media will find an unmistakable presence that could be nothing but the long-running standard of simming excellence that is, and will remain, Section 47.
No motion was required for this item. CSS members agreed to tackle each media avenue and collaborate to ensure a uniform look and feel for all our advertisements and net presence.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned by Section Admiral Gheskori at 21:05 GMT.
