Career Events for Graduate Students Fall 2007
The AGS mailing list, <council@ags.uci.edu> is intended as a way to conduct AGS business without the trouble of getting together for a formal meeting. Towards this end, the mailing lists are archived and viewable from the web (http://ags.sga.uci.edu/pipermail/council/) .
Post to the mailing list are roughly equivalent to statements made during and AGS meeting. Please treat them as such, and limit the posts to official AGS business that you would want to be part of the official AGS archives.
2) How to use the mailing lists effectively:
The mailing lists have the potential to allow discussion on less important issues so that the general AGS meetings may be as streamlined and useful as possible.
For example, suppose I want approval to spend $11.95 to post the Executive Blogs to livejournal and myspace via RSS feeds. This sort of thing should have discussion and be voted on, but would be a dull topic for a meeting. Therefore: A) Post the resolution to the lists.
B) Have official, logged discussion. C) Vote on it online. Online votes can be ratified during the following AGS meeting. Doing this would make the meetings less cluttered, and much more relevant to all students by reserving time for exciting issues like affordable campus housing, the Pepsi / Aramark monopoly, anti-smoking policy, or other issues that students really have a stake in.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
