   Committee for Friederian Sciences: [REDACTED]
       motion to redact the purpose of this committee from the minutes
           dividing by zero
           all of dkirby's committees: growing wary of the proliferation of committees that contain KGB members' names
           James is skeptical of the motive of this
           motion to move to the Northeast corner of the US
               it's a MAINE motion
           if we redact the purpose, how will we know what the committee is for?
               we won't anyway, Zora forgot
           PASSES

           PASSES
       motion to redact all of the purpose and all of the motions to change the purpose in the minutes
           fun fact: out of order
       point of order: it requires a written amendment to redact anything from the minutes
           apparently it doesn't

       how many of us could fit under one of those?
           a lot
       if we dipped it in fireproofing, could we make it part of our booth?
           theoretically
       Ethan would like to point out that with all the support, this might actually BE a good idea
       motion to postpone this discussion until next meeting
           we could do that keeping students not stressed thing
           PASSES

   motion to allocate $10 to buy Steven lunch today
       point of info: Drew literally just ate lunch

           out of order
       ...our dictionary doesn't have definitions
       motion to change all "lunch" to "elevenses"

           ...used to be?
       PASSES
       $4 to Al, he and anyone else who knows what lunch really is will chair

       point of unrelated info: if eforney got a phonecall from a 14 digit number, should she call it back?
           it might be from another country so
           Dillon will look it up
       they're talking about the meaning of "outbroman'd"
           it means to out-ruleswank Broman
       if we were to add a definition for lunch, what would it be?
           that's the purpose of the lunch is serious business committee

       PASSES

   motion to make an allocation not to exceed $50 for supplies for the event
       PASSES

   point of order: technically JRAM only asked for money for supplies for the event
       so the supplies could be a rainbow parachute
