NCS Exec Committee meets with SFSC Board - May 1, 2008

On the evening of May 1st, the NCS Executive Committee met with the San Francisco Shambhala Board to discuss SFSC relocation and the Dzong. This meeting focused on clarifying who is responsible for decision-making in order to sign a lease on a new building. Legally, Amy Conway, Susan Arnesen, or Noah Butter could all sign a lease after receiving a resolution from the Finance Committee of the Sakyong's Council. It was clarified that the decision to sign a lease at 710 Van Ness lease was never presented to the SFSC Board for approval. It was also clear that there were different viewpoints about what the new SFSC building would look like. The group agreed that there is a need to clarify the criteria & description for a new building. A clear process for choosing and approving a building needs to be written out and agreed upon by the Board. The idea of SFSC separately incorporating was discussed.
