Strategic Plan Engagement
The ongoing strategic planning process will be documented in an NSS Strategic Plan and maintained on an ongoing basis on the strategic planning wiki. This will include plan development and the engagement of NSS resources (BoG, BoA, BoD, Excom, Opscom, committee, etc.).
Based on the discussions at the BoD meeting, the CEC will undertake to develop and provide for the BoD, a living Strategic Plan with ongoing overlays covering One-to-five Years out, specific actions taken, and results to date. The NSS Strategic Plan will be presented at the next board meeting, with formal updates available at subsequent regular and special meetings.
Privacy Policy
Our policy is proscribed by the FTC guidelines consistent with the advice of our General Counsel. This will be turned into a distributable document that is fully correlated with our office business processes.
IT Infrastructure
Actions have moved forward to rationalize the organization's information technology.
This has resulted in the directed support to ISDC and the infrastructure charges in the committee report.
NSS & CSS Agreement
Pursuant to the Excom action the affliation agreement between the Canadian Space Society and NSS has been signed.
Things NSS Can Do!
"It not enough to talk about it, we have to do something!" "Architecting the future is akin to building cathederals, technological or otherwise. It is not and can not be just about what an individual can do." "This is the outline that we need to be filling out"

Thoughts from the Group
Where is the link to tangible benefits for the tapping into our future membership?
Importance of Value propistions
Need to move forward with getting our message out and reaching the right communities
We need advocacy for settlement as a driver for our organization
We should make clear that space science and education are part of our program.
What matter is the "Things that NSS will Do!"
Where does space fit into peoples lives. What is important and what will it mean to them.
We need to focus on short and long term goals
More science in NSS
Motions must be understood in terms relevant to Society
Our objectives and goals transcend any national barriers
Link to youth, what are the trancendent images and concepts
Vision is the full use of space for the betterment of humankind
We have to about what we are actually going to do
We need to focus on the implementation
Apollo changed philosophy more than anything
All the technologies and all the sciences that lead us to our long range goal are estential, we need to be about the business of moving forward.
Get on with the business, ala the blitz etc.
It is not so much the words, it is the follow through actions
Motion Discussion
Vision motion - How long do we expect this to last? . . . the Board can change it anytime it wants to for whatever reason.
Wordsmithing is secondary to the work that needs to be done, but in the fullness of time it to must be done
The material must meet two tests:
Do they guide our near term actions?
Do they tell the rest of world what we are about?
We need to balance the strategic and tactical levels
We need to correlate our actions to our roadmap
14 to 2 first motion passes (Wordsmithing is required to reach for unanimous consent) ? abstentions
13 to 2 second motion passes (Wordsmithing is required to reach for unanimous consent) 2 abstentions
14 to 1 third motion passes (Wordsmithing is required to reach for unanimous consent) 1 abstentions 1 absent
15 to 0 fifth motion passes (Wordsmithing is required to reach for unanimous consent) 2 abstentions 0 absent
Discussion on motion four . . .
strike "in priority order"
change order
Parlimentarian ruling is that the question can not be seperated
The inclusion of the quote issue is not on table
Setttlement as a verb to make clear that we are raising the big tent that is inclusive of all the precursors.
We must fix on the context that "settlement" implies in this motion
6 to 10 fifth motion does not pass (Wordsmithing is required to reach for unanimous consent) 1 abstentions 0 absent
We do not have agreement on context here, we will amend the agenda to extend the Board meeting to allow for the discussion of context.
14 to 2 to 1 fourth motion tabled for further work based on agreement in principle to establish the context of the big tent to be put someplace perhaps as a second sentence, perhaps elsewhere. Work will continue with the goal of presenting to board where things stand in the morning. Regardless the Marketing & Strategy Committee will carry the action forward. Gary text basis for context with updated verbs and adjectives, as well as missing clauses added. Flow into the "Margaret" single sentence rationalizing the overlay and passing the one breath marketing test.
