<div>I haven't read all these yet but just FYI I'll set Patrick up to place Facebook ads with existing budget. Appreciate his help. I think a motion may not be necessary. We already run facebook ads. I think he can improve some and run some new. </div>

<div>With my secretarial details addressed, let me now turn to more personal advice/opinions.<br /><br /></div>
I realize there isn't a lot of time to start this up if we're going to do it, but we seem to be starting the email ballot a bit early. With motions in face-to-face meetings, we debate it until a sufficient number of us agree that we have enough information to proceed to a vote. With email ballots, the clock starts ticking and we have a deadline to vote whether or not we get any further information during debate. That sometimes means that we need to ask our questions, and get the answers before we craft the motion and start the clock ticking.<br /><br /></div>
If this goes to a vote promptly, I suggest that we hold our votes until we get more information. Once the clock starts, our only mechanism to deal with insufficient information is to vote no.<br />
<div><br />I think we do some Facebook advertising already, though I do not know dollar amounts or what the themes are. We may already be doing this. I think we would be wise to at least find out some of those basic details before we start voting on something.<br /><br /></div>

<div>I see a motion from Patrick McKnight and clear co-sponsors for an email ballot from David Demarest and Daniel Hayes (thank you for the clarification).<br /><br /></div>
There are two other people that MIGHT be meaning to co-sponsor. I'm not just being a pain for my own amusement, but I do insist on clarity for these things.<br /><br /></div>
Ken wrote, "Assuming that such a campaign is not already under way, I would second that motion." I refuse to interpret conditions that someone places on their co-sponsorships or votes such that I'm deciding if their terms have been met and thus which side of the coin landed up. Are you asking for information back about whether we have a campaign in place already, and if not then later you will co-sponsor? Declarative statements with no conditions are easy to understand, but conditions muddy the water.<br /><br /></div>
Caryn Ann wrote, "I will support such a motion." Are you saying you are co-sponsoring for an email ballot right now, or as with other budget-related issues on the table right now, do you prefer it be taken up at an electronic meeting and will vote for it at that time?<br /><br /></div>
