[Sonar] Additional topics/ideas for Fleet meeting

[Martin Fossen]

Hey Gang,
 
Thanks to those who offered additional topics for discussion at the fleet meeting at Kvale's.  Below are those ideas for your consideration.  In the next few days I'll put these, along with previous stuff, into an agenda for the meeting.
 
Are there formal bylaws written for our fleet?  If so, can copies be made available for the fleet members?  
One reason for seeing the bylaws relates to the idea that our fleet of Sonars has always wet sailed.  I believe many years ago there was an agreement to do that to try to keep costs to local Sonar sailing relatively low.  But with Zebra mussels coming into the picture, shall we officially say it's okay to use boat lifts if desired by a Sonar owner?  Was it ever "officially" prohibited or was it an informal understanding?
 
Additional recurring business:  Average points award if absense is due to traveling to a sanctioned Sonar regatta.
                                                  Lonar SIs, date, effect to scoring the race it replaces
                                                  Treats
                                                  Star of the North Regatta, and it's effect to the scoring of Sunday's C5 race.
                        Sunday Snacks schedule.  
                         Should Thursday treats be added?  If so, how to organize that.
 
The idea is regular post-race debriefs is being well- received.  Should Kattack be utilized in the debrief?  Can we get more Kattack participation?
 
I'm going to ask someone to be my proxy for voting at this meeting.  Perhaps others might want to do that too.  Hopefully that's acceptable to all of you.  Since Tom asked people to come to their placed at 7:00, I'm suggesting the meeting start at 8:00.
 
Thanks for your help with fleet business.  That fleet business gets more cumbersome as our fleet gets bigger.  A good problem to have though, right?  If you'd like to share your thoughts with the fleet, this week I'd invite you to broadcast your views via Sonar.list even if might create a bit of Sonar.list email clutter.
 
More soon,
MF
