### Uncharity Vigil (jan)
- no updates

## Library
> Chase: Sort out comics: no update
> Chase: Produce a budget for new books: WIP
> Harry: Calculate obligatory book buy budget: not done
- we've still got a library and its right here

## Communications and Records
### Minute distribution
> Keifer: look at minute distribution: WIP
- Unigames posts html text from HackMD directly onto their website and then posts links to it on discord
- PCS stores minutes in markdown format in a github repository and has a bot post links to it to discord whenever it's updated
	- Gozz highly recommends this
	- Dadams highly recommends this
- UWAnime makes me download word documents posted on discord >:c
- Last year we made people download PDFs printed from word documents, which were posted to facebook, discord and the emails
- Currently I'm linking google docs made up of processed text copied from HackMD but I only like that as a temporary measure
- creating a HackMD account using UniSFA's existing Google account and publishing there and posting it using links may be a fairly elegant solution
	- would need to back everything up to the google drive, which is doable
	- would not lock future secretaries into doing things this way but would be easy to pick up
	- committee is happy with this
#### Club Rules too
- Our regulations (and minutes) are both stored in two seperate public and private folders which is quite inconvenient
	- There are valid reasons for doing so, but when I have the chance I'd like to find a more elegant solution
	- This isn't urgent, but may be considered in future
### Discord server structure
> Merlin: post Discord structure draft

## Treasury
- Current account balence: $6,974.57
> Keifer: digitise post-o-day memberships: DONE (but could use some touching up)

- We should dig through our archives
### Podcasting
- Darcy would like to read Alice Sheldon's short stories, but would like someone else on the podcast with him

## Guild affairs
> Keifer: attend SOC meeting: DONE
- Guild feels the need to tell us to fill out and comply with our EMPs
- Many clubs have misplaced their constitutions, they must be emailed to SOC and uploaded to the guild website
	- pretty sure they have it but don't have any confirmation
> Keifer: contact SOC secretary with constitution

## General business
### Veto rule
> Keifer: check if the veto rule is currently real: DONE
- the veto rule currently does not exist
- most of our historical specific rules no longer exist, as our code of conduct is designed to give Committee and Guardians a high degree of discretion based on a set of principles rather than a list of explicit rulings
- Until we make a desicion, "don't be an asshole" Guardians and Committee have discretion

- Committee meetings will be Thursday 2pm for the immediate future
- It's not the greatest but it's what works
- Anti-Saturday
### Table
