1) Discussion regarding new member applications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n There were nine (9) applications submitted over the last several months.
Three applicants were asked via email to provide more information and resubmit \u2013 as of today none of them replied. Admin will make one more attempt today to reach out to them [NOTE: REQUESTS SENT OUT TODAY<\/strong>]
Of the remaining six (6) Admin submitted their comments to the general CAG but no action was taken by the group as of yet
One of the six, a gentleman representing an upstate marine engineering firm, was not recommended<\/strong> by Admin for approval
The remaining five (5) were recommended for approval<\/strong>.
Since then, we have recently received two (2) additional applications \u2013 one from a former, founding CAG member who is ready to return, and one from a local Gowanus Dredger. They both wish to join as at large members. Admin recommends both of these two new applicants for approval.<\/strong>
In order to expedite all of these applications, Admin is asking that each application be circulated to each CAG member for review (via an email sent by our Facilitator), requesting that we forego the interview process, and requesting that the CAG express their approval or not of Admin’s recommendations of applicant group. If this can be done by the December meeting, great \u2013 if not, then the January meeting for sure. [NOTE: DOUG HAS CIRCULATED APPLICATIONS TODAY<\/strong>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
