[CSL board] VOTE status

[Dan MacNeil]

On the question:

	Resolved: CSL board will create a strategic planning committee

	Yes: 		Josh,Melissa,Kristina
	Abstain: 	Dan
	No:		
	Not Voted: 	Laura, Fred, Karen, Paul,Charlotte


A quorum for a physical meeting is 50% of board members. For an online 
vote, other organizations, I've worked with decided that if 50% of the 
board votes within 1 week of the original motion there is a quorum.

Arbitrarily deciding we'll do things the same way, we need another vote 
by Friday the 20th for this vote to be valid.
