    Attending: Aphrodite, Bleu, Bruce, Stevenaia, Alfred

    1. Encouraging constructive and respectful dialogue in Pavilion discussions:
    • Action: To amend the note card to further encourage people to speak and to advise on appropriate behaviour. Currently it says,” Please respect other's points of view, and contribute to, rather than distract from, the group's purpose. “

      It would be changed to say Please respect other's points of  view, make no derogatory personal remarks  and   contribute to rather than distract from the   group's purpose.

    • Action: A link to the Wiki’s Guidelines for Meetings be added to the note card.
    2. Recommendation #1 from Vashon Retreaters: The appropriate location and process of political or religious discussions in PaB.

    In order to give PaB members an opportunity to raise a topic of interest that is outside the regular PAB pavilion discussions there needs to be a process to follow:

    • Action: To put in the Wiki’s Guidelines for Meetings the following statements: Any PaB member is invited to raise a topic, for a single theme session or a series of workshops, and schedule and present it at the Kira cafe, their own plot of land, the pavilion or the Pub.   If it (the topic) is to be discussed at the Kira Café or the Pavilion the request should be presented to and processed through the Working Group who will approve and help schedule it.
    • Boxy abstained from voting for including the last sentence in the Guidelines.
    • Action: The inclusion of the following statement in the Wiki’s Guidelines for Meetings was tabled pending discussion with all the Guardians. Any political signs, banners or manifestos can be placed within a guardian’s plot but not at the Pavilion, Kira café or Pub without permission of the WG. Any such items should be signed and displayed in such a way as to be clearly not the views of PaB nor of the Kira Institute but only of the individual

    3.  Art as Being

          Action:Blue will send out an email on this to all Guardians.
