We are still a little light for a quorum.
[10:02] Agenda Faromet: Quora are few and far between. I really think we should amend that bylaw.
[10:02] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Please IM any friends that are on line.
[10:02] Agenda Faromet: But of course, we'd have to have a quorum to amend the bylaw. BA-DUM CHING.

[10:09] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Welcome Rykk!
[10:09] The Freak Magnet: Hello all
[10:09] Suemoon Magic: Hi Rykk
[10:09] Sam Courtois. Esq.: We still have a slot open for the July presentation.
[10:09] Donnalyn Davi: Hi
[10:10] Sam Courtois. Esq.: If anyone has any leads, I will be happy to cow them into agreeing to speak.
[10:11] Donnalyn Davi: I'd be willing to do a talk sometime
[10:12] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Sounds good Donnalyn.
[10:12] Sam Courtois. Esq.: July?
[10:12] Donnalyn Davi: I'll think up a few topic proposals
[10:12] Donnalyn Davi: July should work
[10:13] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Great - July 6 at 10 a.m. would be the target, but if that is a problem due to the holiday, we can be flexible.
[10:13] Agenda Faromet: By the way, Sam, in June I'm doing a webinar (RL) on mobile apps and privacy. It's not a SL thing, but if you end up needing an extra presentation somewhere, I can adapt it.
[10:14] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Excellent Agenda.
[10:14] Sam Courtois. Esq.: I don't think things have to be tied too firmly to SL.
[10:15] Sam Courtois. Esq.: How about you Rykk? Can you give us a talk sometime about your area of interest?
[10:15] Agenda Faromet: Well, no, but I'd still have to adapt it a bit.
[10:16] The Freak Magnet: Possibly.
[10:16] Sam Courtois. Esq.: We are scheduling out until December now.
[10:16] The Freak Magnet: My schedule is just this side of insane lately.
[10:16] Sam Courtois. Esq.: But We could have more than one a month.
[10:17] Sam Courtois. Esq.: No pressure Rykk, just a thought.
[10:17] Sam Courtois. Esq.: We'd love to hear from you.
[10:17] The Freak Magnet: I'd like to, but I'll have to get back to you on scheduling.
[10:17] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Perhaps when things level out?
[10:17] The Freak Magnet: Yes
[10:17] Tim Faith: sam, i could do a presentation on the recent final HIPAA regulation changes - not sure if there would be much interest in that in SL or not.
[10:17] Geri Kahn: I would be
[10:18] Agenda Faromet: I'd be really interested in that.
[10:18] The Freak Magnet: Same here, always trying to keep up on privacy issues
[10:18] Sam Courtois. Esq.: I believe that if the presentations are topical, there willbe an attentive audience.
[10:18] Agenda Faromet: I didn't know you were a privacy guy, Tim.
[10:18] Tim Faith: HIPAA is from 10 years working in health care before becoming an attorney, though I also have a few health care clients as an attorney now
[10:19] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Everything gets back to a focus on letting people know.
[10:19] Donnalyn Davi: I'm always interested in privacy issues
[10:19] Tim Faith: i just can't do july 6 as we will be at a wedding that weekend
[10:19] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Well, Tim, I thing your on for the first of the year.
[10:20] Agenda Faromet: Wait, Sam.
[10:20] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Donnalyn has July 6.
[10:20] Sam Courtois. Esq.: What" Agenda.
[10:20] Tim Faith: great, jan 2014 is good for me
[10:20] Agenda Faromet: If Tim's doing HIPAA, HIPAA's omnibus final rule changes kick in in September -- oh, okay.
[10:20] Agenda Faromet: I was just going to suggest that it isn't timely in January.
[10:20] Tim Faith: yes that is true
[10:20] MystiTool HUD 1.3.1: Entering chat range: Lincoln Beck (15m)
[10:20] Tim Faith: we could do it another weekend earlier this year
[10:21] Tim Faith: maybe sept
[10:21] Tim Faith: ha ha
[10:21] Sam Courtois. Esq.: OK - September?
[10:21] Agenda Faromet: I don't mind moving mine to January.
[10:21] Agenda Faromet: (I have the September slot.)
[10:21] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Tim is keeping the schedule.
[10:21] Tim Faith: i could do it another weekend in september, like after our regular meeting that month
[10:21] Sam Courtois. Esq.: So Tim in September.
[10:22] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Agenda is in January.
[10:23] Sam Courtois. Esq.: I'd like to keep to the first Saturday of the month, if possible, but September 7 is Labor Day weekend.
[10:23] Tim Faith: and my birthday
[10:23] Tim Faith: perfect
[10:23] Sam Courtois. Esq.: My sense is that it is too much time on a single Saturday to have both the regular meeting and a presentation.
[10:24] Sam Courtois. Esq.: So are you OK with the 7th?
[10:24] Agenda Faromet: If it's the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, I won't be able to make the presentation, and that would be sad.
[10:25] Tim Faith: we could do another date in september. i'm flexible
[10:25] Sam Courtois. Esq.: What say you, Tim?
[10:25] Sam Courtois. Esq.: how about 9/21?
[10:26] Tim Faith: 9-21 should be fine
[10:26] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Agenda - c an you make that?
[10:26] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Everyone else?
[10:27] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Going once.
[10:27] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Going twice.
[10:27] Geri Kahn: I can do another one
[10:27] Geri Kahn: on Social Security Disability Law
[10:27] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Done
[10:27] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Tim is on for 9/21
[10:27] Sam Courtois. Esq.: That would be great Geri
[10:28] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Would December work?
[10:28] Geri Kahn: Sure

[10:31] Sam Courtois. Esq.: January 4.
[10:31] Donnalyn Davi: For my talk in July, do you think people would be more interested in the Fair Labor Standards Act, ERISA, Life inside Chambers, or the Amazing Life and Times of California's First Woman Lawyer?
[10:32] Geri Kahn: I like the last topic mentioned
[10:32] Sam Courtois. Esq.: Yes, me too.
