I propose that the current proposal to hire Emily
be split into 2
separate proposals. 1) to draft a job description for an Omni
coordinator
in the spirit of what has already been initiated. Develop this job
description further, as needed, with the input from a variety of
knowledgeable people. 2) to use said job description to consider Emily
(last name?) as a possible candidate for consideration. For this proposal,
Emily should not be present to vote or weigh in due to (duh) obvious
conflicts of interest.
I worry that this is a needless expansion of the task at hand, This isn't
a glorious position that people are clamoring to get, this is a mess that
we need cleaned up. There has already been an extensive effort by the
financing committee to find qualified people to hire, and it hasn't worked
out sufficiently well. A proposal was made for the delegates to take on
the task of hiring someone to sort things out, and we've found someone
whose participation in the community has motivated her to offer to help.
At the last delegate's meeting it seemed like there was universal openness
to moving forward with a more concrete proposal, rather than expand the
search. 1) How much will be budgeted for this position
vs. how much money is
currently in our coffers?
The amount of money we expect to pay for this contract is small compared
to our other expenses, and the tasks we're trying to achieve are essential
to our continued existence. The finance committee has been paying people
all this time without oversight, including over $2000 to someone for
reading emails and learning quickbooks. If you are concerned about
spending, this is the last thing you should worry about. 2) All people
that are being considered for this position should submit
a resume with references
based on their actual name. Is "Toast" their last
name?
There are plenty of people doing good work for Omni (including on the
finance team) who don't publicize their legal last name except in documents
where it's necessary. Is your last name "Misc"?
3) If prior
experience and knowledge of Omni's financial/legal operation
is an important
factor in deciding who to hire, it would be good to know
more specifically what a candidate's activities with Omni were in the past.
We can ask Emily more about her activities in the past, but I think what's
most important is a person's knowledge of our existing situation (as well
as their qualifications) and she has been in the finance chat and in
meetings, and in talks with Sarah, so I think she knows quite a bit about
our situation.
The above was me as a fellow Sudoroom member. As our
delegate, I ask
specifically what you want me to put forward to the delegate's meeting on
our behalf.
As a delegate who has been untrusted to represent the concerns of Sudo
members, please put forward what I have already proposed, and will now
restate:
That the current proposal to hire Emily be split into 2 separate proposals.
1) to draft a job description for an Omni coordinator in the spirit of what
has already been initiated. Develop this job description further, as
needed, with the input from a variety of knowledgeable people.
2) to use said job description to consider Emily (with their legal last
name) as a possible candidate for consideration.
For the 2nd proposal, Emily should not be present to vote or weigh in due
to concerns about conflicts of interest.
This question has still not been answered; merely, dismissed as unimportant.
1) How much will be budgeted for this position vs. how much money is
currently in our coffers?
