[Lnc-business] #ReRegister Week

[Joshua Katz]

Trent, thanks for this great work.  I like that, in this plan, the
participating groups have their own investment, so to speak.  I think that
will generate more commitment from the groups that join in on the plan.
The costs appear in-line for us, and this activity would help strengthen
our student groups.  I'd like to see more involvement from LP groups
relative to YJW groups, but if this is the way it is, I guess that's a
function of our need for more student groups.

So the obvious question is:  what's the bang for our buck?  I don't mean
what do we get from it, I mean how do we quantify what we get from it?  Do
we just measure registrations per dollar?  At least some of the benefit
here is going to be less tangible - visibility on campus, getting students
active, etc., but I'm not sure how much we'd pay for those things.  I think
if we're going to calculate what we got, registrations are going to be the
metric we use.

Before I would be willing to move ahead with this, though, I'd want to see
a resolution to the question of who will run it.  I don't want to see staff
trying to run this unless we explicitly think they should, but if we go
ahead with it without an answer, it will fall on them.  Personally, I think
we can make this happen with only minimal staff involvement, aside from the
processing of items which staff already handles.  I had assumed that Trent
would handle it, but if that is not the case, we need to figure that out.
I don't know that the ASC is the right venue - it doesn't strike me as
affiliate support in the usual sense, and I'm not convinced that a
committee is ideal for this at all, at least not a standing committee.  I
think what we want is a few people willing and able to see it through,
rather than an existing committee whose members didn't join for that
purpose.

I'm a little confused on the JW groups - some are getting materials, and
some aren't?  How does that breakdown look?

Thanks again for all the work that's gone into this!
