Whats up berny back at it again

CockroachDB's tech talk just finished! Bod was at 8pm today because of that.

Starting a bit late with buysheet: * Holiday decorations (haven't been discussed enough, so tabled) * New TV!!! $1500, but also have to consider costs for installation and mounts - need SUFMO approval * Approved allocation of $2500, ballpark all costs * TPLink Switch approved for $15 * Tables (pushed to later) * LED project - Timothy Zhao's project - approved $500 ballpark * SATADOM for bedbugs - to match with other servers - approved * Monitor replacement - 4 1440p monitors of the same type that we already have - approved * Paper plates lol - approved though it probably technically isn't needed * 50 cable zip ties - approved

Ethanhs is not here to talk about his resignation

Should we have a bod during RRR week? Lets do it. We technically have classes then anyways because of cancelled classes this semester

Christopher made some bylaw changes: * bod appointments, resignations, bans/good standing wording changes and updates

passed amendment in 2019-11-18-attachment

And also a constitutional amendment: * committee heads can be elected, etc. leaving implementation to the bylaws - which needs to added as well * But cooperc sort of has most of that down already * Questions that need answers: what committees should exist, what they should do, etc. * Seems like as a general concept it seems to sit okay with most staff
