One.....we need to restate who is on the council. We lost a couple people. At last count its Myself, Gav, Vader, and LV. I would like to get back up to seven especially since we're getting in more and more apprentices. I would also like to post the constitiution up as the official guidelines of tso.
As you can see below we need to get more people on the council. Im open to suggestions. I know dyzm is back but IC there is that little problem we had way back when with LD. Anyway something to be thinking about. I'd like to get these major issues resolved before I take off for japan in two weeks.
