  MOTION regarding composition of work group on staff membership:

Resolved,
THAT the Elections Committee work group authorized on May 20, 2007 be convened within one week; and

THAT staff members already on the EC volunteer on June 17, 2007 to attend a meeting of this work group within one week of the original meeting; and

THAT in the event that any station is not represented by EC staff members, a public call shall be put out for as many staff representatives from each station as necessary to bring the complement up to two, to be selected by the respective LSBs, for the purpose of meeting with the PNB EC work group on staff membership; and

THAT a designated member of the EC notify each of the members and proposed members of this work group of the date and time of the teleconference described above.

-----
MOTION regarding teleconference phone systems:

Whereas the cost of using the Foundation's teleconferencing system is
higher than the cost of using a commercial conference calling
(Internet based) system, and

Whereas distributing the foundation's EC teleconference numbers to
people invited to work groups who are not members of the PNB
Elections Committee may jeopardize the confidentiality of the
Foundation's call-in codes, therefore be it

RESOLVED
THAT work groups convened by the Elections Committee shall use a commercial Internet-based conference calling system, to be selected by the convenor, with numbers distributed to all members and invitees, rather than the Foundation's system for teleconference calling and codes.
