2009 Winter National Board

Smokey · February 27, 2009, 08:22:16 PM

Mr Jones sounded sincere in his plans to include CAP more in AF affairs and reduce our status as the red headed step child.

It was positive and upbeat. Now if it will only happen. Plus, we need to make sure we have our act together should it come to fruition.

Consent agenda items appoved:

3a. DA - Approval of the March 2008 National Board Minutes
3d. DO - Removal of CAPR 60-11
3e. HC - Change of Designation for the CAP Chaplain Service
3f. ED - Professional Military Education Equivalency Time Limit

RiverAux · February 27, 2009, 08:57:31 PM

3b. DP - Protecting Personally Identifiable Information. Amended to strike "like CAP tests" as being a little too vague given all the rules specific to test control.

Lost Video feed on their end...

Angus · February 27, 2009, 08:59:47 PM

Anyone else loose the feed?

If so anyone got someone in the room that can keep us updated. I'm curious about 3C the SET stuff.

Al Sayre · February 27, 2009, 09:00:39 PM

Sent a text to WG/CC hopefully he lets them know

Eeyore · February 27, 2009, 09:03:12 PM

It's back.

Al Sayre · February 27, 2009, 09:03:26 PM

They're back

Al Sayre · February 27, 2009, 09:04:43 PM

Lost Audio?

BuckeyeDEJ · February 27, 2009, 09:04:51 PM

Now, there's no sound....

Eeyore · February 27, 2009, 09:05:57 PM

Sound is back.

RiverAux · February 27, 2009, 09:07:39 PM

3c approved. SET. With some ammendments, but we lost sound so didn't get all of them.

Angus · February 27, 2009, 09:07:55 PM

I stepped away for two minutes. What was the final phrasing of the motion?

It was not given.

4. Test Control Officers approved as proposed.

RiverAux · February 27, 2009, 09:15:25 PM

5. Confidentiality of Internet Email

Tabled for further discussion by staff. Need better definitinos of "confidential", etc.

RiverAux · February 27, 2009, 09:17:03 PM

6. Review of Membership Waivers for Unfavorable Criminal History Information.

Withdrawn. Need to re-work proposal, include way to request waivers, more transparent process.

RiverAux · February 27, 2009, 09:30:06 PM

7. Requirement for Criminal Background Check for Cadets over the age of 18 Years

Ammended to strike 1st paragraph (background checks) and last line of paragraph 2.
Note that the agenda mentions that there are 2630 cadets between 18-21.

This is what was approved:

Quote(2) a change to CAPR 35-3 requiring the termination of membership of any cadet who has been convicted of any offense (or has suffered a pattern of arrests) that would disqualify such cadet from senior membership in CAP as described in CAPR 39-2, paragraph 3-2, and subject to same waiver procedures currently in effect for senior members.

8. CAP Member Standardized Recognition Program. withdrawn.

RiverAux · February 27, 2009, 09:36:09 PM

9. Request for Study of SSN Substitute. NHQ will study SSN substitute and discuss solution with AF/ARmy JROTC in hopes that it will allow more to join.

Evidently some public charter school wants to pay for membership for CAP for entire study body. School can't ask students for SSNs, so is why we need substitute. Some concern expressed that this would let school decide who is a CAP member by deciding which kids can go to the school.

motion failed.

RiverAux · February 27, 2009, 09:48:14 PM

10. Aircraft/Vehicle movement. Tabled for later this meeting. Probably will be removing references to "member". Don't want to get into a member travel approval system.
