III. Business of the Day

Appeals/Interviews

J. Zielinski started out the meeting explaining that 9 groups appealed to the SA. He said that they were going to first go to the Appropriations Committee (Apps Com) tonight, then anyone that made it through Apps Com would go to the SA next Thursday the 26th (of September). He also said that the SAFC should have approximately $20,000 saved for special projects.

S. McQuilkin said that if there are any groups asking commissioners about special projects, to tell those groups to forward that email on to SAFC@cornell.edu.

E. Fischer said that interviews are going to be November 18th from 10am-4pm, and she has a �blurb� that she will be sending out to the commission to publicize the interviews. She added that the applications are due November 13th online (at the SAFC website).

S. McQuilkin said that commissioners should feel free to refer their friends to the SAFC. She added that the interviews would be in Goldwin Smith rooms 156 and 158. Next, she said she needed an accurate number of commissioners staying on, so if any commissioner is going to go abroad they should email her or talk to one of the co-chairs. She also said that e-board elections are going to be November 6th during the regularly scheduled meeting time. She said that it should take two to three hours and asked that commissioners block off that much time for them. She explained that anyone interested in running would have to be nominated on the floor, then they can accept or decline, make a short speech (nothing formal), and then when all the nominees have gone, there would be a vote. Lastly, she said that at the next meeting an e-board evaluation would be passed out for commissioners to give feedback to the e-board.

J. Zielinksi said that over the next two weeks the commission would be focusing on revising all of the SAFC�s policies and guidelines. He asked that commissioners come with ideas to next weeks meeting.
