Commission elects Crystal as secretary; term to start at next meeting

The commission elected Crystal as its secretary by unanimous consent after she nominated herself and described prior experience serving as a secretary for two nonprofit boards.

"I'll go ahead and nominate myself. This is Crystal," she said, and later explained she has served as secretary for the Alaska Rugby Union for 10 years and for the Alaska Youth Rugby Club since 02/2019. With no other nominees, the commission voted "aye" and the chair announced Crystal as the new secretary; the chair said Crystal's tenure will begin at the next meeting and she will start taking minutes then.

The commission recorded the selection as unfinished business from the previous meeting and finalized it before moving on to new business. Members agreed not to burden Crystal immediately; the chair said she would begin duties at the next meeting.

No formal bylaws or term length for the secretary position were discussed; members left implementation details and the start date to the next meeting.

The commission asked members to circulate future recommendation drafts in advance so new officers have time to prepare for duties such as agenda and minute-taking.
