Outstanding matters and updates from the 30 November 2012 meeting: 1. Update on benches along walkways at Palikir site 2. Update on student study spaces on east side of Palikir campus 3. Update on generator work on Palikir site. 4. The Step Up laboratory space issue has been settled, but with the result that the CRE researcher and field assistants now are "homeless" and working out of a storage container. Resolved? [VPIA and VPCRE met at the site and did agree that the small room would be semi-enclosed with glass divider and a half door so the CRE Researcher and Assistant could use the room and oversee the lab at the same time. Unfortunately nothing has been done to enclose the room again. VPCRE will need to discuss this with VPAS.] 5. Betelnut policy. A group was to meet in December to work on policy language, events conspired against a that group meeting. A member of the college community noted that spit is spit and that although the member was counseled on how to determine the difference between betelnut spit and spit spit, the member does not want to have to make that distinction. The member requests that when the final betelnut protocol is drafted, it is just plainly stated that there will be designated areas where spitting is not allowed. 6. Update on committee membership, member inter-committee transfer rules, replacing members, dismissal for non-attendance, and committee membership lists: At their last meeting the Council of Chairs did not have time to take up this meta-issue. This marks the second COC meeting that has not reached a resolution on this matter. At this point responsibility for populating a committee and maintaining a membership list appears to rest with the committee chairman. This meta-issue remains unresolved.
