Tenancy Meeting - Issues have cropped up surrounding security and insurance of lockboxes and cupboards - Taylor believes we not banned from having lockboxes, we just need to worry about them prohibiting lockboxes in convenient locations -

Alice proposes doing writeups specifically for online events >All: Start writing your bloody handovers #### Regulations - Member privacy regulations - No update - Interclub regulations - No update #### Review of meeting without notice (31/1/21) - Committee had a meeting during uncharity to discuss a proposed logo design - Minutes have been published on the website. Heed the trigger warning at the top of the minutes - Consensus was to remove the proposed design, and allow people who put money behind it to redistribute. An explanation of the situation satisfied everyone involved, one issue was raised and resolved quickly. - The situation is done now. This is a good opportunity to analyse how we got to that point and how we can change that going onwards. - Taylor's thoughts on how committee discusses and argues ideas - Committee members are friends and discuss things in a casual way - Things are taken seriously in an interclub setting, "If it's not written down it never happened" - We have to take a similar attitude to unigames business - We can't assume people know things about committee's thinking. We have to communicate with the memberbase in order to do the right thing by the people who trust us to make decisions for them - Our memberbase ranges from 17 to 30s something, experiences are not universal, anything obvious to us is not visible to everything - Taylor's thoughts on defusing a potentially harmful situation - One of the reasons this didn't come up until as late as it did was becuase the risk was not discussed until it was a near certainty that it was going to occur - We're familiar with the EMP system and guild events. That mindset to risk management needs to extent to the rest of committee business - Even if there's a slim chance of a problem unfolding, it needs to be brought up asap, rather than leaving us to do damage control - The advantage of being on a committee is having a wide range of experiences and perspectives. Even if something is minor, bring it up in a meeting, and if it's a 90 second convo where we write it off, it's still important and worth discussion. - When something needs fixing, that highlights problems in the system as a whole - The concerns had been loosely thrown around but never explicitly brought up amongst committee. Be direct. Listen to the concerns of others - if it sounds minor but they had the guts to speak up then it deserves your attention. Even if it is not immediately actionable. **Meeting closed**: 8:31
