Replacing the Policy Development Officer

 * Martin has resigned
 * Jesse is still willing to fill the role and has the support of Andrew
 * Appointment can occur at the next meeting (once Jesse's identity has been confirmed)

Meetups

 * Emily:
 * Due to low number of members in Brisbane the most regular action we see is our monthly meetups.
 * The person in charge of organising said meetups has stopped doing so as of a couple of months ago due to personal issues with another member.
 * Several members have approached me to express they want to re-establish regular meetings. The handful of regulars would really like to get at least one meeting in before Christmas.
 * I don't know what the "right" course of action is but I am happy to take up the slack if I am given access to the email
 * Michael will follow up on the personal issues in his role as Deputy President
 * Fletcher will assist with announcement mailout access.

PAX

 * Panel went well, theatre was packed and Simon met with several pirates and others in our area.

Strategy meeting

 * We need to push UBI more, a specific campaign could gain some ground.
 * Possibility of a regional tour, may be a good tie in with the new year and university clubs.
