Yesterday I hooked up an old hard drive I found in a dusty box and saw it came from the PC I had when I split up with my wife. Funny thing memory. It turns out we were together for 3 years longer than I remembered.

In the back-up directory I found a cache of Gold Coast Elan Vital documents (1998-2005), mostly incredibly banal and boring: records of meetings, plans for the future, First Class communications, etc. My wife had used my PC in those days. I browsed a bit and did find 2 documents that really defined EV in the late 1990s - early 2000s.

The first is the Australian National Aspirant Teams plans for 1999 and the second a Gold Coast local Minutes for Meeting - 25th October 2000

Australian National Aspirant Teams plans for 1999

2.2 Propagation

What Aspirant numbers to increase significantly in 1999

How Beautiful video events for everyone; the provision of clear information regarding the learning process and requirements for receiving and practising Knowledge; with help from our teacher and everyone; close collaboration with all of those involved with propagation

With whom

Propagation team, information contacts, MCs, national team, local contacts, aspirant team, instructors

When

2-day meeting with all of the with whoms (above) early in the year, after the schedule for the year is made known


2.3 The learning process

The goal is to provide our teacher with well-prepared aspirants at the next Knowledge Session. (Quantity AND quality)


Minutes for Meeting - 25th October 2000

Satellite broadcast update: The next stage is being established with some people becoming “early adopters” as the first direct viewing is trialled. At this stage there are several options becoming available - e.g. the private purchase of a dish for home viewing and the possibility of a communal purchase of a dish: fixed or mobile. This is a stage of transition and further answers will be provided regarding the queries that are emerging.


Feedback from all centres in Australia: Mark W* recently surveyed all local contacts regarding the primary focus points in each centre. Included in the summary: concern regarding the amount of time spent on electronic mail and administration e.g. many reports are requested; is there always an actual need for these; too many examples of inefficiency and poor etiquette in the use of electronic mail; propagation is currently at a standstill.


The full survey results are available if requested. Pertinent point made in this meeting: if the only communication that occurs is as support to propagation, then it can be clearly identified if a particular item needs to be communicated or not. Proposed for next meeting: a short workshop to improve efficiency and ensure correct etiquette is observed in electronic communication. 


Any people involved in that period should be able to relive the horror
