Discussion and Decisions
- Voting platform - Rob Phi:
- Democrat is an online, live platform
- We are being granted a free trial of sorts, which when paid for includes branding and pay per credit costs.
- Numbers are only shown in admin portal
- We will be using the simple majority mode
- Uses Kubernetes?
- Production costs: approximately £200-250 per event, but this is roughly half of what would be spent on pizza for IRL events => worth the investment.
- Donations: worth looking at, there is enough money to warrant the discussion.
- Considerations to keep in mind include anticipating costs, hit of recession post-COVID, etc.
- The committee as a whole agrees to not take political actions as that does not fall within the remit of CompSoc
- Charity suggestion - Black Curriculum
- General ideas for donating:
- Merchandise store
- Talks in collaboration with other societies (eg ISOC)
- Lump sum
- Panel discussions - pre-recorded to maintain hygiene, Q&A style.
- Unanimous vote in favour of donation of some sort.
