I did it! I have already received some e-mails from some board members regarding this.

And?As of right now I have recieved three replies from Board members.
Then maybe if we send a few hundred more they will decide to vote yes. Don't stop the emails.Wayne answered He thinks there are enough emails for it to be on the agenda
I signed this petition just now, but it said I was only the 6th person to do so. Also, only 33 people have voted on this thread so far. Maybe it's because it's late, but I would have thought more people would have signed the petition and voted here than have so far.

I don't think the call-in option is widely communicated... as this is the first time I had heard about it (when this topic kicked off). I would much rather have at least THAT than nothing...The call in is fine
But being able to have the pod cast when ever you want it
Wonderful accountability
I agree that most don't know it even is an option... The reason I want the Pod cast is I often have meetings the same nights (plus I'm single and to be honest, I would rather see my girl friend and listen to the meeting another time)...I don't think the call-in option is widely communicated... as this is the first time I had heard about it (when this topic kicked off).

Linda told me that only 3-4 members call in a month and cant see how a podcast would make a difference! I commend her for being the first to respond to me and rather quickly at that. I do feel she might be a little out of touch on this issue. A call in has its place but that is not the best way to let a large group hear what you are saying. What do you do when they go into exec. session, just listen to dead air? I asked her to reconsider because after all its not her descision it is the people she represents. In general I do think the board dose a pretty good job, I would not want to deal with what they have to sometimes! Better access would only help to clear up some of the rumors that tend to fly around.Just can't fast forward a live phone conference you are listening to
I put a motion on the agenda before to provide a pod cast of meetings. The "cook friendly" board members (and past member) voted it down.
Today I put the following motion on the agenda:
New Ideas
An number of members have asked that in addition to the telephone call in service currently provided for members, that KCBS provide a pod cast of ALL BOD meetings including Special Meetings.
I hereby move that all meetings be recorded and a pod cast be placed on the KCBS web site for review by members.

Recordings are also on demand. I can choose to listen when it fits my schedule.
I think Linda is being short sighted if that was her direct comment. I'm hoping that it was taken out of context or something. It is hard to believe that a few hundred people wouldn't have listened to the pod cast of the last board meeting with as much board traffic that the Lula contest got.
