OC-Polyamory's Eat&Discuss #15(discussion,+more topics via cmts)+

http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/6/a/c/event_20298092.jpegMEEvtL event listing (http://1.jothere.com/3882#MEHCI9) MBPR0W:

MO0I1G: Now a nearly guaranteed popular event! How? MO0I2T: The date on this event (shown above) is NOT final and WILL be moved forward... UNTIL we have, at least 5 days before it, RSVP YESes from at least 20 people with 55% women.
. MO0IPC: Once this happens, the date will be finalized at the soonest reasonable date given: MO0IBD: aiming so the day-of-week and time-of-day stay the same, for easy planning. MP2IIS: NOT on some obvious conflict as a major holiday unless the event description says so (so any listing then would only temporary to collect more RSVPs) MO0J0Y: Once the date is finalized, that will immediately be announced, especially to all who already RSVPed YES. MO0I8Y: Until finalized, the date will be incrementally moved forward... MO0IAY: ideally as soon as clear that's necessary MO0I9Y: by 1 week typically, but MXQ49D: the postpone period will double typically when there has been no significant change from last scheduling, to avoid needless alerting & rescheduling MO0I6W: Any excess RSVP YESes, as most likely any excess men RSVPs, will be moved to a waiting list. MO0JFX: For any excess, we will get selective as to who gets in, but given no other factors, priority will be given to who RSVPed YES first. MO0JWJ: As one could infer, this plan should assure what it's goal is: that we never have another meeting with low attendance (as short of critical mass, yes even for a leftist group trying to take root in conservative (behind the orange curtain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_Curtain)) Orange County) NOR gender imbalance (yes, even for an easily-seen-as sexual group, so normally an-excess-of men, or all men)!

Including: MJ9E11: for our upcoming/future events MJ9E48: Don't wait, RSVP NOW! And if a MAYBE just say YES with explanation. MJ9EOM: for special-interest Meetups as ours, this REALLY helps build attendance more than anything else. MJ9E9N: SUGGEST TOPICS by commenting on the event listing, with 1 top-level comment per topic. MJ9EPD: We typically cover the topics people suggest.

MO0JU0: added MO0I1G (now listed at top), my idea I came up with right after everyone (but me) had left early from our yesterday's meeting: which turned out just 4 people, and all men!, for which they seemed notably disappointed, perhaps at me!, perhaps from not fixing a situation nobody in all OC has really been able to honestly fix. Well maybe rightly, for now I'm seemingly first to come up with what seems to be a real fix. :-) MMF3GX: #15: 2013.(when enough RSVP YESes)Thu1830-2130~ (https://www.meetup.com/OC-Polyamory/events/118132942/), http://meetu.ps/1k0WDb MO0LGO: realized the present date 2013.07.04Thu is the 4th of July, so since my new system MO0JU0 is flexible, including announces the date will move forward if needed, moved the date 1 week earlier (not later, yes even despite our low attendance), so 2013.06.27Thu, as that then instead sooner announces this new and IMHO-exciting system, which offers solution, and by design will then move the date later when needed.
