<div>another option is to record the meetings - i have a nifty little
digital recorder - the software works on any PC so you could listen to
it at your convenience (Newell could use a town hall computer to do
so)</div>

great job juggling being a contributing member of the committee, and,
recording contributing members of the committee at the same time.
Personally, I have a difficult enough time just trying to listen,
understand, formulate an idea, and, express that idea without having
any responsibility for recording what goes on during a meeting.
I just don't know how she could do all that AND document it all
at the same time. I don't believe this is fair to her. I
think important ideas are being discussed, and are not being recorded
along the way because it is impossible to talk and record at the same
time. My fear is that a valuable idea could easily fall by the
wayside without further consideration if we are not reminded
later about what all we discussed. I would like Brenda to
maintain the Secretary's position, and I believe
the minutes she prepares are appropriate for public
consumption. However, I would like you all to consider
having Alden or someone else take notes of the meetings so Brenda
can dedicate her attention SOLELY to being a contributing member
like the rest of us while attending the meetings, and have someone
else record her ideas too. Then the note taker's notes can be
used as working documents for our committee use only. What do
you all think about this?</font></blockquote>
