I. The meeting was called to order at 5:05pm.

II. Roll Call

III. Recruitment

Information Sessions

• L. Kogos: How should the information sessions be structured?
• B. Coulter: The information sessions will be next Tuesday and Wednesday (November 1st and 2nd), 5–6pm in Goldwin Smith.
• L. Kogos: The information sessions will probably have a slideshow and a meet and greet with the commissioners. There may be food.
  • We should advertise it as a great way to get involved and to meet the commissioners.
• D. Greener: Maybe we could make a video for it.
• Coulter: There will be a Facebook event. I will also send out a one-page flier-please send it out to your listservs.
• Kogos: You can also talk to professors and advertise it in classes. Also, talk to friends in different colleges.

Candidates

• Kogos: What kinds of candidates are we looking for?
  • Reasonable, smart people. We want to actually meet these people.
• Coulter: I would like a recruitment committee. I need help in the next few days with quarter cards.
  • C. Blumenthal and D. Greener offered to help.
• K. Jenkins: Are we blocking out names on applications again?
• Logos: It was not very effective and isn’t necessary, so probably not.
• A. Connors: It also defeats the purpose of the meet and greet.
• K. Song: Do you have any feedback on last year’s process?
• General consent that last year’s process was good.
• Kogos: We may limit the point count or change that process slightly.
• R. Woloszynski: We could compare everyone’s scales to make it fair.
• Song: There is a theoretical maximum on how many points each person can get.
• Kogos: The point system made the process less fair, but easier. It would be more fair if everyone looks at every application.
• Desai: Maybe we could assign points in groups so the checks and balances are built into the system.
• Song: If you are interested in formulating this, stay after the meeting and join Coulter’s recruitment committee.

IV. The meeting was adjourned at 5:15pm.
