**AB: Callingwood mrkt: who would do that? volunteer? staff? CCh- we could do it and make $ off of it. Our fees should really be higher, in order to cover our costs. Our currents rates don't do that.

Rest of Board: As long as it doesn't interfere with your other jobs. | **AB: Callingwood mrkt: who would do that? volunteer? staff? CCh- we could do it and make $ off of it.

I am going to say the Terms of reference will not be ready for the meeting. They are still on Google Docs linked to in the February meeting minutes. I will be moving the document to the wiki since no collaboration is happening, and I can no longer edit the Google Docs document effectively after an interface change. | James Phillips (not present) writes: I am going to say the Terms of reference will not be ready for the meeting.

** | **'''Action item''': way for us to lead the way re: bike parking/public art? Larry (someone) keen to have art=bike parking. Next step for us: making contacts with metal artists and metal sculptors. approach, put together short proposal, speak to LRT/transport people. General consensus among board. MBC: make sure art is also actually functional for locking your bike to. DK: we have those resources. | ||

*slightly heady discussion re: # of hours; on avg 3 hours per month?; AB thinks better to illustrate possibilities by saying between 3-10; BR: but we're talking about minimums; BB: so put low-end commitment or small range; SG thinks should put 'minimum' in there.

*CCh: might want to define 'representative of EBC' for legal purposes. Or attribute same def as 'leader of EBC'. Great big discussion about talking to people casually in shop about Critical Mass etc. Emphasising self as individual and not as representative of organisation. Perhaps we need more word-smithing. Spoken rules diff from written rules. But as long as we're clear in convo that we're disassociating ourselves. | |||
