1st Discussion

DNC ~ NDA

A explantation was given of the meaning of a NDA which he read from Wikipedia; he also read a few paragraphs of

THE G.E.M. ~ GROUP NON- DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT.

Due to nature & the importance of having a NDA, it was stated that there should be rules & policies in place for such a time when it is needed to be enforced. 

Therefore volunteers were ask of each member, for the purpose of forming a committe which will include the responsbilities of putting together rules; policies & procedures...& enforcing these actions when the NDA has been at risk or violated!

2nd Topic

Beloved- The Lack of Participation within the G.E.M. GROUP

Due to lack of participation of various members, it seems as though we  may need to make a few changes. 

There are 2 options available:

1. Begin meeting only once per week

2. Bring in NEW Members who is willing to bring more to the group by way of participation

There will be a voting poll on our website for each member to cast their vote on how we can help grow The G.E.M. GROUP

Voting will close Thursday 8:50pm

 

Frisco Kid: Comment ~ What are some of the things the G.E.M. GROUP working on or striving for?

Beloved: Right now we are working on our Africa Project, where we are educating ourselves on their economy; government etc, with the possiblity of investment after the RV

Frisco Kid: Comment ~ I have a friend who is actually from Africa, and he is doing great things in our community.  I would to invite him to the G.E.M. ~ GROUP as a guest speaker where he can share information on his Africa Country.
