March 21, 2002 <br />Item 6.ii.b <br />Program Planning Committee <br />little listening and real communication occurred, and her group participants used <br />the opportunity to only voice their opinions rather than understand others' <br />viewpoints. She questions the fruitfulness of small group discussions between <br />strangers on highly controversial topics. <br />Doneen will take the lead in arranging a meeting of this advisory group, working <br />with city staff. <br />The Commission itself will begin discussing at its next meeting whether it should <br />take a public position on the issue. No action will be taken at this meeting, <br />however, because of the need to proceed in an open and transparent manner. <br />Thao suggested an approach she described as a compromise: meeting with the <br />newly-formed advisory group from the Project 515 program, holding an <br />educational forum, and then the Commission would consider taking a position in <br />early summer. It was discussed that the Commission ought to consult legal <br />opinion regarding our right to express positions on issues. <br />The Advisory Group will meet at the Fireside Room (if available) on April 3ra <br />The Human Rights Book Club scheduled its first meeting for April 2nd at Cafe Zia. <br />Doneen will take the lead on organizing this. The first book or magazine article <br />will be selected by Thao in consultation with Doneen. It was suggested that the <br />Book Club be advertised in the Roseville Review, Patch, City News, and in a e- <br />mail to our HRC List Serve. Kris will work with city staff on this. <br />The next committee meeting was scheduled for 6:30pm, March 27t", at Cafe Zia. <br />
