Chris - yes i meant breaking up into more manageable groups on a
particular topic/subject matter rather than having more topics -
Most of the bigger topics I believe will have many different
angles to it - say its the IS Game - for example- ticketing,
promotion, merchandising and events around the game could be the
basis of how to split into 4 groups? each group could then
decide how to present the ideas/questions and how to write it
up after?

Hi folks. I spoke with Ken yesterday and I was suprised that
not everyone who was at the meeting has logged in and gave a
quick hello. Anyhow folk could be on holiday/ work /other stuff
(we all have it unfortuneatly).
But time is moving on and we are looking at nearly 2 weeks since
the original meeting, and 45 days away from the season kick off,
not to mention the I.S. game as well. It may seem a lot of time,
but its not really when our ears and eyes pep up for the start
of the season.
I am the secretary on 2 committee's and chair on another. I
propose that the committee has a nomination/vote for 2 members
to be spokesperson on behalf of the committee, and both will
have to take part in the NFLUK.com forum updating those fans.
For discussions within the committee I think it should remain
the way it is, micro groups inhibate thoughts from the main
group and when you have 5 folk rather than 20 you could miss
another route of conversation.
The 2 nominations would take it in turn to write up and present
to the fans a synopsis of what has been discussed, as the fans
also have an input and they might have further ideas which could
improve the discussions/proposals.
Through NFLUK, we can have polls added to the site for fans to
vote on in respect of topics. But before we get there we have
all got to view what the fans there and elsewhere are talking
about, break it down and give them the topics most in the
headlines.
We will have to set dates to be on here and discuss the topics.
I know this is all a bit dry, but it has to done and decided so
that we can start with what we have been selected to do.

Mark, good to have someone who can break this committee stuff
down well, agree its dry but laying a good foundation now will
only make things easier later on - i dont mind which way around
things go so long as we have a bit of a structure like what you
have proposed.
I'm not sure if i agree that one voice is sufficient to feeback
to the site after each meeting, I can kind of understand why you
say it but if I wasnt chosen for this I would have liked to have
seen a variety of different people writing on the forum ....but
not about the same points and not all 20 - only in the sense
that it would then feel like the committee is working well and
everyone is participating?
anyway look forward to the what to discuss thread
for now.....back to the garden!

Also, while the forum is through main contact point for getting
ideas from and feeding back to the community...ee also have to
reach out to others beyond the forum as well.
I do agree that we need to get on as its easy just to wait.

What happens if by this time next week we are still missing up
to 50% of the committee?? What people dont relise is if we dont
make this work NFLUK have us by the balls shall we say. They
have give us a chance and if we dont make it work we will never
get another chance.

I have got to say Chris at the moment the forum is probably the
only avenue widely open to us to give the info/interaction. I
know that there are other groups out there, but it is to
fractured at the moment. On that maybe we can look at the BAFL
etc and ask if they would like to participate fan wise in this
venture.
I see what you get at Sani but having a lot of voices replying
back into the forum and or other outlet would only confuse the
fans. Maybe you might have thought I was meaning only the named
persons could post in the NFLUK forum, no that is not my
meaning. Everyone can post, but it is just to get a structured
reply back.
Ken is right if we do not take up this chance, then the NFL can
rightly say "you have had your chance as fans". Sorry but that
is not an option. If we do not start getting together as a
group, then the old finger wagging from other fans will start
and the committee's position will plummet.
For a committee to run, it needs the following
Chair
Vice Chair
Secretary/Minutes Secretary
Treasurer (Not needed)
Elected membership.
For a committee to go forward at meetings and take a
vote/decision it requires a Quorum present at that meeting which
is generally one third of its elected membership present at that
time.
Do we want to go down this road or do we want as I proposed a
minimum of 2 spokes person writing on the forum/emails to other
groups, with for the want of a better description minuted notes
of what we are doing and discussing.
But time is passing and I believe this is important and has to
be sorted first before we can go forward.

May I suggest that the posts, Chair, etc, go to non Moderator
members of the committee?.
They went through the application process whereas we are on the
committee by virtue of being Mods (not that I'm complaining 8))
because Nick wants a Mod presence on there.
But my understanding is that it's rotational, so for example,
Nat and Dave who expressed interest last time may get called to
the next meeting and a couple of us who were there this time may
not be. I just think it makes sense for continuity purposes.
Also I work shifts, and I know Joe does too. Can't always get
days off without loads of notice so there may be meetings where
we can't participate, even via phone.
On that subject, I'm a little short of time as I am currently
between night shifts (just got up **yawn**), will endeavour to
contribute better on here in a couple of days when I'm off.

Night-shift aarrgghh hated it when I done it, and still hate the
idea of it. Your right Steve I would say the folk who will be in
that position should not be the mods. As you say continuity
without it, this will fall to pieces.

I dont have a problem with letting non mods take up certain
positions so its who wants to do these jobs?? At the moment
there is only a handful of us on here so it narrows it down a
bit till we have the rest of the committee logged on here.
Mark is happy to report to Nick and Emily and i think that is a
job for a mod,we know how they think and vise versa.
