The November 15 meeting was attended by five members and an observer
from the Marin County Libertarian Party. Most of the meeting was
devoted to two detailed discussions:

*** Whether to continue our existing strategy of trying for a Board of
Supervisors resolution on SB 596 before January. We discussed getting
endorsements, and the importance of having endorsements in hand when
approaching office holders. This was contrasted with the strategy this
fall (approaching the Board of Supervisors first instead of focusing on
documenting support in the community), which was dictated by the
timeline of SB 596. We decided to continue trying to get appointments
with members of the Board of Supervisors at the earliest possible date,
and to continue pushing both for SB 596 (in case it stays alive in
January) and for general language supporting future legislation.
