2. AM Committee: Noel, Mike J, Tim, DougTask: How to communicate to members about decision? How to put members in

correct role. How to maximize benefits.

3. AM WOA Due ReconciliationHow to cover dues that people have been charged. For an Example an am like

Rodney Thornley does not work any SOWB who is going to pay his $30 WOA AM

Committee will work on that.4. Recruiting Joint recruiting efforts as in 09-105. Joint MeetingIdeas- Mechanics meeting, Talk about am status, Duel credit for members.VPs work together on one joint meeting.Opinion vote: To have one meeting dealing with mechanics, and AM issues

Majority yea6. Apprentices:One class in the fall. Spring training just doesnt work so well and was used to help

numbers. Dont need now. Able to be more selective on whom we keep. Have

separate administrative meetings? Small differences, is it enough.

SOWB has 35 people interested as of now and the PNBOA has 160.

7. Arbiter /Game Assign usageE-mail today from WOA to Mike Jurenka. Arbiter wont support uploads anymore.

One of Biggest obstacles with Arbiter is observations. How to input

scores? Assigning observers? Tim and tech committee are in communication with

arbiter.Ira: We can use arbiter or not officiate school ball. We need to move forward and

figure out how arbiter will work for us. Ira says state didnt do a good job of

communicate Arbiter implementation. Stripezone/game assign could be options for

inputting games. Use or information only? State says use. Why? Have to ask

Todd. How are we going to roll out Arbiter to members. Having Arbiter training

sessions. PNBOA has a solid plan for e-mails, on line training and live training

sessions. Roll out September 1st.

8. Observations joint Efforts:Hard to work stack Games.Observed games are assigned by who needs an observation and by what observer.9. Assigning protocols

Members will need to make a designation to assignors of which group you belong to. Assignors will have to spend 3x as much time.Software as a service.Members have to be instructed on how to make themselves available for numerous

assigners. Separating PNBOA rec vs. PNBOA school. Does take a lot longer to doassignments. Matt says data is his? Do we need negotiation with Matt? Need to

have phone call with Matt. Software as a service? Trying to get login

passwords. Different that trying to get data.

10. Observations Problem isnt not wanting to observe officials on stack

games. Problem is whole coordination of officials and observers.(see # 8) Who is

complaining? Observers? Make sure observers they know process. Fridays are just

about getting games assigned. Adhoc committee for dealing with Observation

program.

11. Facebook How best to use this resource. What about people complaining about

assignments and such on Facebook. Bad mouthing boards and players. Last referee

magazine has information about this. How to address to our members. Anti-

disparaging comments.
