[edit] Review of last minutes

• Minutes reviewed and approved

[edit] Premier Participation

• Concern that a stand-alone speech by the premier would disrupt with the participatory and egalitarian spirit of the event and may become a fiasco as partisan elements on campus would react
• Noted that a speech by premier would bring a great deal of credibility and influence to the conference

• DECISION: Graham Whitmarsh, head of the Climate Action Secretariat, will be invited to be part of the panel on Friday night and to participate in the conference, the premier will also be invited participate
• DECISION: We should seek out the premier's participation in a later and specifically designed event

[edit] Conference Agenda

• ACTION: Brandy and Mark will place a draft of the agenda on the wiki for people to comment on

[edit] Planning project timeline

• DECISION: The timeline was adjusted to take advantage of the fact that we have the MPR on Sept. 28, 29, and 30 to practice and rehearse
• ACTION: Jamie will send out a note updating people on the timeline and deliverables for the planning projects

Meeting end time: Approximately 2:30
