Ottawa Car Sharing!



Ottawa Car Sharing!	s1222082@aix2.uottawa.ca
			235-6763

We're looking for people interested in setting things up.
We're starting to compile a list of people who want to join once things
are set up.
And we need a car! If anyone knows of someone interested in donating
one, let us know! (A donated car would mean quicker start-up and cheaper
rates versus buying/leasing.)

NEXT MEETING:
Sunday Nov 14th
13:00 hrs
85 Florence, Apt. 2

Agenda:
1) Welcome newcomers, and determine initial list of people interested in
   participating in the "working groups", who will ultimately form Board
   of Directors for Ottawa Car-Sharing Co-op.
2) Present draft of "articles of incorporation", and get any suggestions
   for revisions (I'll email these out before the meeting to interested
   people).
3) Present initial budget (I'll email this out before meeting).
4) Determine status of "car-acquisition" working group.
5) Determine status of "insurance" working group.
6) Determine status of "government funding" working group.
7) Set date and topics for next meeting

If you have any questions about car-sharing in general or suggestions,
please don't hesitate to contact us!
