Thank you everyone who attended. Some great conversations were had and a lot of issues were aired. I didn't take actual notes, but I'm going to do my best to post a list of issues that were raised and the resolutions that were achieved:
1. Officer Logistics. A few jobs have not been getting done simply because we were not 100% clear on who should be doing them. Officers will be seeing a re-organization shortly, with some clearly defined roles for each. This information will be made available to the guild so that everyone knows who to consult with when an issue arises.
2. Striving toward better communication between officer cadre and broad membership. We're going to be doing a better job of following up with anyone who brings issues to our attention, and where possible, including them in the discussion.
3. Reviewing the content of the Totem, and considering alternative structuring models to compensate for five years' worth of content.
4. Expanding roleplay opportunities in the guild. Tribesmates holding the rank of Ironsinger are going to be pivotal in this process, as they will be consistently working toward production of storylines and ideas for the rest of us to enjoy. They have been given Message of the Day privileges, and will likely have their own private forum to discuss story arcs and make plans.
5. Encouraging grassroots RP as well. Everyone in the tribe should be conscious of their RP environment. Starting an interaction takes courage but creates opportunities; encouraging others by participating actively helps drive enthusiasm.
6. Considerations for promotion. Please take a moment to review the ranks of Ironsong, and give some thought to those that you feel are deserving of promotion.
7. Closing membership. For now, membership is closed and we are not going to recruit any new members. Pending applications will be resolved, but new memberships will not be considered for now. We are going to review the application process, tighten it up, and re-launch it sometime in the future.
If I forgot anything, let us know in the comments section. Expect to see these changes soon!
