Discussion: Hosting a treaty workshop at the annual hui

It couldn’t be the PiNZ council to host it because to host is an involved process and at the Hui we are busy.

Partnering with a dedicated workshop provider to bring treaty workshops with the PiNZ perspectives, how to incorporate it into design.

These providers who run national tours could be affiliated and promoted by PiNZ.

Important that the presence of te tiriti work is felt and not tokenistic.

Discussion: actively engaging in social media about upholding te tiriti and anti bigotted culture. 

Move shine from Bank acc, add dave to bank acc

Current people on the acc, Clare, James, Shine.
James has stayed on there because he is always available to be the second signatory.
What’s the point of having a double signatory if James isn’t actually on council?
It’s highly recommended to have double signatory and the second person needs to be reliably contactable by an hour and a half.

James and shine to be taken off bank acc, dave and lillee added

passed

Proposal: prefer trello as the preferred communication platform.

Saying “only use” a particular channel of communication is limiting.
