20:00 -- MikkelPaulson called the meeting to order
20:00 -- Discussion of Chair and Clerk Positions

Chair:

The person in charge of general meetings. The chair moderates debate, establishes 
agendas, and can accept motions and censor disruptive attendees.

Clerk:

Responsible for taking votes, publishing minutes, and keeping a record of documents 
and motions passed. The clerk should have sole access to voting records. Allowing 
directors access to this data would give us the opportunity to falsify votes. Since 
this information is published to the forum, it provides another good reason to remove 
directors from roles as forum moderators. The clerk should either have basic PHP/MySQL 
experience or app

20:08 Voice vote was taken on electing Copporo as Chair
      	Yays: 5  Nays: 0  Abs: 2
	Copporo elected Chair

20:09 Voice vote was taken on electing Rintaran as Clerk
	Yays: 5  Nays: 0  Abs: 2
	Rintaran elected Clerk

20:13 Copporo states rules of order:

First, we will be running under a different meeting procedure from previous meetings.
 For the most part, this shouldn't matter, but if you have any questions, you don't 
know how to do something, etc. , please PM me.

I will not participate in discussion without ceding the chair (ideally to 
MikkelPaulson as party leader), except to add information.

I will not vote unless it affects the outcome

If you want a vote to be exposed to the whole party, unless it's required to be done 
that way, it requires a majority to put the motion before the whole party. Otherwise 
votes will be taken only from those present

20:23 MikkelPaulson opened discussion on on the matter of the Winnipeg North 
by-election
21:00 Rintaran moved that the party seek to run someone in a by-election in Winnipeg 
North, and if no local candidate steps forward, Mikkel be granted the opportunity to

coppro leave the chair to be able to join discussion
