[CRNMC] Facebook page

[Caitlin Alexander]

Doug asked Peter for help with the Facebook page - I only relayed the
message from Doug, it was not a request from me.

Peter sent Doug an email explaining the reasons why a new page needed to be
created - people couldn't post directly to the old page and there were
other restrictions caused by the way it had been built. Peter fixed all the
restrictions the only way possible, by building a new page. He did this
only after letting Doug know what he needed to do - Doug did not get the
email from Peter due to connectivity issues on Doug's end.

When there was no website and none seemed to be on the horizon, at least
not in a timely fashion, Peter built one at my urging - it was completed at
the same time Tim completed his - this was not "done" to Tim - it was
simply lack of communication all around - like having connectivity problems.

The group process has been in a disarrayed, mockery state not due to Peter.
People are busy, with full-time jobs, etc., and actions are moving forward
in many areas outside of committee input. Several radio interviews went
forward with no notification or involvement with the Social Media or Media
Committees - people are taking it upon themselves to do what they see needs
to be done in several areas - not just Peter. While frustrating this is not
all bad, the results have been great with fabulous radio interviews, a
website and a Facebook page emerging.

Yes, communication could be better all around and I think this is the area
we are most challenged by.

Best,
Caitlin
