Old Business:
Motion to hold Newcomer introductions until the last 10 minutes of the group. At that time, we can run a catch all chip that says Welcome "Newcomers"! The Op can mention them all by name, individually, at that time, and state that we have saved the last ten minutes of the meeting for them, if any of them would like to share. They can raise their hand in the normal way if they want to share, but are not obligated to. If there are no Newcomers, or no one wants to share, normal sharing may resume. (Susan/Lotus' Motion) MOTION WITHDRAWN AT PRESENTERS REQUEST

Motion to ask sponsors to raise their hands at the end of the meeting so Newcomers may approach them after the meeting for guidance if not sponsorship. (Ash's Motion). PRESENTER NOT PRESENT FOR THE THIRD TIME, MOTION PERMANENTLY TABLED
