8 Albuquerque Vipassana Sangha Communications Committee Committee members: Mark Steele, Mary Young, Beverly Klemme, Sarah Schwartz The AVS Communications Committee is charged with: Managing pathways by which the sangha communicates with members and with the public; including the web-site, newsletter, and Facebook (and media we haven t thought of yet). Recording and uploading teacher talks. Mailing letters to members and friends of the sangha. Ensuring that information is being communicated at weekly events. o Verbally o With written materials Sarah Schwartz

9 AVS Communications Decisions TDATE BOARD-MEETING MINUTES POLICY IMPLICATIONS NOTES 9/2000 Wynette mentioned that the sangha needed to develop a policy on sending announcements submitted by groups outside of the sangha (e.g., other Buddhist groups) to the sangha list. The policy would address questions such as, should we send out any announcement that was submitted to us? If not, what announcements would be appropriate to forward to our members? Wynette expressed concern that we not abuse the mailing list by sending out an excessive number of announcements. 08/2002 There has been some concern about how we are communicating information within the sangha. The board felt that our current methods (Web site and ) were effective. The membership list including addresses and phone numbers would be available to all members. We should make it clear that Suzanne Sluizer is the central person, and that all official Sangha should go through her. The board did not vote on this suggestion. The sangha communicates information within the sangha via the web site and . All official goes through [position?] The membership list is available to all members. Has this issue been resolved by the presence of the Yahoo chat group? The board secretary annually sends an official notice to all members. The board president sends annual appeal letters to an expanded list of members plus former members and retreatants [?] Other mail and may be distributed with board approval. The newsletter includes information on sangha-sponsored events plus items included at the editor s discretion. The Yahoo chat group provides a path for any other type of communication among members. Others? We do not currently make the membership list available to all members. See separate proposal. 1

10 AVS Communications Decisions TDATE BOARD-MEETING MINUTES POLICY IMPLICATIONS NOTES 08/2008 Bylaws Amendments: Kempton presented proposed revisions to Article II, Membership Article III, Meetings of Members, Article IV, Board of Directors, Article VI, Amendments, and Article VII, General Provisions. The proposed revisions allow notices to members to be made by either mail or ... After discussion... the motion, which passed unanimously. 09/2008 Membership Meeting: After brief discussion... [t]he motion was approved by unanimous vote of the members present. Official sangha notices to members may be sent either by or mail. 08/2008 Purpose and content of list serve: Board members and others present discussed use of the sangha membership list serve. Recently appointed Moderator Mark Steele and the Board discussed the understanding that it is intended for use for Sangha business. The Board and others present agreed that gray areas regarding appropriate content have arisen and would likely arise again in the future, and the discussion would continue. 10/2008 Membership and Mailing Lists: Kempton reported that as a result of the process required by the bylaws prior to the annual membership meeting in which members are asked if they wish to retain their membership, the membership roll of the sangha was reduced to 61 members. Another list, the mailing list, will be retained and maintained. This list includes people who have been members, current members, and will be expanded to included retreatants not Is the list serve referred to here the current Sangha News? Have we settled the purpose and content of web site, newsletter, and chat group? What are the mailing lists we currently maintain and who maintains them? The board secretary maintains the membership list. [Bylaws, Article II, Section 2] 2

11 AVS Communications Decisions TDATE BOARD-MEETING MINUTES POLICY IMPLICATIONS NOTES otherwise on the list. This mailing list will be used for the annual fundraising letter, and includes approximately 240 persons. 03/2009 Discussion of content of Thursday night announcements: The Board discussed whether the announcements should include only sanghasponsored events, or also include events sponsored by other organizations. After discussion, the Board by consensus decided that 1) only one person would do the announcements, 2) anyone wishing to have a sangha event announced should advise the evening s MC, usually Valerie, in advance, 3) announcements would only be for sangha-sponsored events, 4) a stand-up display on the table could be used to call attention to other events, in addition to the usual practice of making table space available for flyers from other groups. 03/2009 Contents of Moderator s Weekly Announcement: Andrea and Kempton relayed an inquiry from moderator Mark Steele asking for guidance on appropriate content for his weekly message, which is sent to everyone on the sangha s list serve. Typically the message is about the upcoming Thursday evening supper and sit, and for upcoming half-days, retreats, etc. Mark was asking for guidance in particular for when he receives a personal request from a sangha member asking for assistance. The board discussed use of the weekly Announcements at events: 1) Only one person does announcements. 2) Anyone wishing to have a sangha event announced should advise the evening s presenter in advance. 3) Announcements are only for sangha-sponsored events. 4) A display on the table can be used to call attention to other events. 5) Fliers from other groups may be displayed on the table. Sangha News is primarily a vehicle for announcing sangha-sponsored events and may be used for medically related assistance. The editor is encouraged to contact the board for guidance and also to use his discretion as to placement and length. 3 See separate proposal for change in announcements.

12 AVS Communications Decisions TDATE BOARD-MEETING MINUTES POLICY IMPLICATIONS NOTES message as a means of compassionate action, as well as the meaning of sangha business and personal business. After discussion, the Board agreed on the following guidelines as a start. It's OK to include notices for medically related assistance. Just about everything else is not OK. Solicitations for money, or to sell things are not OK, for example. If it's not for medically related assistance, Mark will refer the person to the chat list, which he already does. If it's not medically related assistance and Mark thinks it ought to be considered for inclusion, then he is encouraged to contact the Board, which will try to give some timely guidance. Such notices will be under the heading Compassionate Action Through Service. Mark is encouraged to use his discretion as to placement of the item and its length. 10/2009 It was... proposed that Wynette only accept events on the calendar from committee chairs or board members. This was accepted by acclamation. 02/2013 Alok raised a question about responding to general requests sent to an individual board member. Ken agrees that, as president, he might be able to handle responses, based on input from others. The web-site calendar is used for sangha-sponsored events only. The web-site administrator only accepts event information from committee chairs and board members. Generally, requests sent to board members should be forwarded to the president (?) Committee members other than chairs are often the source of event information. Since the Sangha News editor often digs for information on topics and presenters, he is a frequent source of web-site calendar information. The list of board members on the web site has been rearranged so that the president is named first, followed by the other officers, then other board members. This layout should help direct inquiries. 4
