The last Greener Times of 2009 suggests that US salvation could be won on the streets of the District of Columbia, and accordingly paints a picture of one million seriously pissed off souls occupying it. That's a lot of urine. Thinking about the logistics has turned up the obvious: Island mobile units complete with medical, food, and sanitation. Composed of neighbors and friends, a unit once formed could respond to a variety of emergencies as well as that ultimate. Having this come to mind clicks with Joe Ulatoski's NERO strategy for earthquakes etc.. Making a socio-political unit from a NERO would be unwise if the "politico" element became partisan, but if you read the GT piece you see that its idea of street presence is precisely to abandon political affiliation. So some of the NEROs might in fact become nuclei for street work. Off island, you understand. Anyway, the idea of fairly permanent mobile units for "street work" would have collateral impact on island life. Yeah, I know the Beachcomber is 100% for local matters and the Council is 150% for local matters, but you know that no island can be an island, don't you? For the twenty-third or fourth time be reminded that this island as presently conditioned is 93 % dependent on the ferries, and therefore should not pretend it can ignore what's going down out there. So forget the Beachcomber and the Council and think of an island of deer, NEROs and Green Berets. I understand they used them to pee in.

| March 9th Agenda: Second Draft - Monday, March 01, 2010 Hello again everyone! Spencer Campbell here. Preparations for the upcoming meeting are going as smoothly as can be expected, considering I am all but cold calling people. It will be happening at Joy's house, as usual. Some of you may have noticed that there was no new announcement last Monday. This is because, unexpectedly, no one added more items to the agenda that week. This week, however, there is one new item contributed by Maryrose Asher. An update is certainly in order! 1): I will give a treasury report. -- Jeannie Ernst (inferred)
2): "I will explain the meeting format." -- Spencer Campbell
3): "Who should facilitate the April meeting?" -- Spencer Campbell
4): "What do we want to accomplish by meeting here today?" -- Spencer Campbell
5): "Would an annual plan be realistic - and would it be a good or bad thing for us?!" -- John Cornelison
6): What should we do about the strawberry parade? -- John Cornelison (paraphrased)
7): I will give an update on Richard Curtis's senate campaign. -- Maryrose Asher (paraphrased)

| March 9th Agenda: First Draft - Monday, February 15, 2010
For those of you who didn't get the memo*... hi. My name is Spencer Campbell, and I'll be your facilitator for the March meeting. Because I believe in optimizing the efficiency of everything I can get a hold of, I'll be using my own format on a trial basis. Instead of an agenda consisting of explicitly-scheduled items, an agenda for my meetings consists of a simple numbered list of questions and statements (with corresponding speaker). There is no time attached to these items, and no guarantee that we will get around to them, but as a rule those appearing higher in the list will be addressed earlier in the meeting.
*Yes, there was an actual memo. It was on the mailing list! It's difficult to imagine anyone who reads the website yet neglects to read the mailing list, but I would be remiss to assume.
The first draft of the March agenda follows. It's worth noting that, as of 0001 hours on March 9th, this agenda will be finalized and fixed. No new items will be added, no old items removed, and no sneaky rearrangement of existing items will occur. If you have an issue that you'd like addressed, you should send an Email to me as soon as possible so that I can tack it on. (Please phrase it in such a way that I can convey the concept to the group in one or two sentences.)
Generally, items will be ordered on a first-come first-serve basis. In this case the first three items are mostly a holdover from the previous meeting format, so I have Jeannie making the first announcement even though I haven't actually heard from her.
1): I will give a treasury report. -- Jeannie Ernst (inferred)
2): "I will explain the meeting format." -- Spencer Campbell
3): "Who should facilitate the April meeting?" -- Spencer Campbell
4): "What do we want to accomplish by meeting here today?" -- Spencer Campbell
5): "Would an annual plan be realistic - and would it be a good or bad thing for us?!" -- John Cornelison
6): What should we do about the strawberry parade? -- John Cornelison (paraphrased)
That's it for the time being. From now until the meeting itself (which is on a Tuesday, mind), I will be posting the latest version of the agenda as an announcement here every Monday. I'll be personally contacting as many known affiliates of the VMIGP as possible, finding out whether they're coming and if they have any issues to bring up, but if you want to save me some time or if you just want to chat:
