Proposals

  • There were 2 discussion proposals:
    • A discussion proposal concerning the funding proposal for 99% Radio passed at last GA
    • A discussion proposal about the organizing for S17

1) Rene's discussion proposal regarding 99% radio funding:

  • Questions were asked about what efforts had been made to communicate the proposal

to the general OB community prior to the last GA. This included some critique about communication in the OB community in general.

  • Questions about how open this particular, funded, programming will be to the other

programs of OB Radio. The funded affinity group (Metacomet) informed that other obr programmers are solicited to come on the show, promote their own programs. It's meant to be inclusive.

  • In terms of outreach, point of information that last week's unregularradio.com

Thursday 6-8:00 time slot had over 5000 unique visitors.
