current setup of the COO as both a project of UNA-SF & a network w/ UNA-SF as a member is too ambiguous

This is going out to our Core Collaborators subgroup of the UNA SF Bay Area Council of Organizations.  Most of our energies have been going into the UN 69th Celebration to be held on Oct 19th at the UU Church on Franklin in San Francisco.  You should have received notice and if you can make it, please do.

If Thursday Nov 13 cannot work for you, but Tuesday Nov 11 is OK, please let me know.

We have a major discussion we need to hold.  The current setup of the COO as both a project of UNA-SF and a network with UNA-SF as a member is too ambiguous and UNA USA Director Chris Whatley has made it clear that to be part of UNA, the COO has to be unambiguously under a UNA chapter or division. 

In the short run that means we can call ourselves a Council and we can have our own Exec Committee (the Core Collaborators is our exec committee), and we can basically continue as we have, but we must consider ourselves to be a Committee under UNA-SF and UNA-SF cannot be just another member of the COO.  I think this will work out OK, but clearly we need to discuss.

Also, we have UN 70th coming up and are just now getting our UN 70th Feasibility Study off the ground.  If you are interested to be on the UN 70th Feasibility Committee, please fill out the SurveyMonkey questionnaire at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YVYF2LC.

We need to discuss and agree our role.  Mary Steiner is taking the lead in the study, and she and I both are assuming the COO is fully supportive.  We would like to make that official. 

There are a couple other items as well - a full agenda will go out closer in.

Thanks all,
