The steering committee could not take formal votes on Sept. 11 because it lacked a quorum; the chair announced the limitation and asked members to select follow-up dates and consider a consistent monthly cadence.
Marlene Cowick told the group, "And so there will be no technical quorum for voting items today," and asked members to pick upcoming Fridays for a reconvening. After discussing attendance barriers the group agreed to the 3rd Friday at 03:30/03:35 as a regular meeting time — "It's the 3rd Friday selected. We will go the whole year," Cowick said — and Cowick warned she would request that two vacant positions be brought up for appointment if members did not respond: "I will request 2 positions go up for appointment."
