Kuu expressed that she was intimidated by staff and voting. Slinky gave the exact opposite, saying she never felt intimidated.

Upon further questioning, Kuu's intimidation for voting stemmed from a lack of knowledge on how the COTP worked. She wasn't aware that the COTP's votes a usually only proposals to the COA. Upon explaining they are only proposals, and the few things the COTP has direct authority over, I asked if she felt more "at ease" and she said yes.

For the Intern side of the issue, I think better explaining could be done. But that's a non-policy issue, I'll just give a more detailed explanation in the future to new Interns.

Sadly, Tatsu has yet to join in on our discussion. I'll re-notify her. Since Tatsu hasn’t given any input yet, I’d like to bring up a thought.

The Volunteer Committee could be used as a pre-staff/intern training committee. They could teach the basics on staff almost like a lecture?? However, it doesn’t replace the Helper’s job (since it’s a training rank); but we should use the Volunteer Committee as a place where non-staff who plan to apply soon (that the Senior Chairman deems to be a potential future member) or just any regular user and run through the basics of Councils Committees and jobs.

For interns the volunteer committee could send them out to ‘Volunteer’ to do teeny tiny small jobs if the Helpers can’t seem to do it (help around and answer questions).
