    7. 6:30 PM - TedxCU “Pale Blue Dot” September 13th, 3pm @ CMCI’s Walnut Street Studio (Armory) (10 min presentation, 10 min discussion)

      1. Notes

        1. Similar event in January, same speakers minus one

        2. Redemption for the canceled event

        3. Live streaming event only

          1. Only people at the location will be the speakers and camera crew

        4. Event is taking place on Walnut Street, CMCI - is free due to partnership

      2. Questions 

        1. How is this event supporting the platforms of underrepresented/misrepresented students?

          1. One speaker is talking of slums and underrepresented communities in his hometown, a Mexican city, paticurarily lack of access to food and its intersection with education

          2. One speaker is talking about young women around the world leading their communities in advocating for climate change

          3. One speaker, Nora, talks about reclaiming her power as a person of color. Although she does target people of color, this does apply to all people since Nora utilizes her experience as poc, which all people may find a source for their power

        2. One of your speakers is an undergraduate student. Does the speaker have any professional speaking experience? Why should CEB fund a non-expert speaker?

          1. Tedx purposefully aims to open its platforms to all people and disregards level of education and age

          2. Brent Cary accumulated over a million views although he is an undergraduate which shows success rates despite being an undergraduate

        3. Your anticipated attendance is quite low (25 people), especially compared to the amount of funds you have requested ($5802). How will you reach out to students, and is there any way to increase attendance?

          1. This is the attendance in person. Typically in person the venue can receive 700 people, last event was expected to be 1200

          2. For live streaming the estimation is hypothesized to be 1000-2000 people. 

        4. How are you ensuring social distancing for those who will have to be physically present for the live stream?

          1. Each individual is required to wear a mask except the speakers, audio placement is spread throughout the room (10 feet apart)

          2. Specific microphone for each speakers so no speaker has to share

        5. You uploaded a file called “marketing budget 2020.” Can you explain what this is?

          1. This is the previously approved budget that can be used for reference

        6. CEB does not fund photographers.

        7. What contingencies do you have in place for the possibility that campus does not allow in-person events? At this time, there is no official announcement on the number of people allowed at an event. There is a possibility it will way less than 25.

          1. Tedx can fluctuate the number of people in the studio, and can decrease it down to six people

        8. How are people streaming?

          1. One College Production has a streaming service, but they can also look at others platforms. All programs used to stream are free

        9. How do you plan to outreach to the community?

          1. They have an outreach team as well as a marketing team that will utilize CU hashtags

        10. Is Tedx allowed to accept donations?

          1. CU will have to look at contracts to partnered organizations and then approve it. It is possible

          2. If it is similar to donation contracts in Spring then those should be okay

          3. There are odd and difficult rules to receiving donations at the event, which is best to learn of it before

        11. Is Tedx selling tickets?

          1. No, the event is completely free. 

      3. Discussion (5 min)

        1. Proposals of a maximum of 10 people in a room, this would include camera crew, speakers, etc. 

        2. Tedx shows an extreme flexibility and willingness to compromise

        3. There will be a budget cut, so although the event may be approved it is tentative 

        4. Jemil will be TedxCU’s liaison (Nick)

        5. Budget Proposal under First Cycle

          1. Does not look like old requests, they created a new form for this cycle

        6. Assumption of zoom, but it is a positive that camera work is being used for good quality 

        7. Tedx provides different values and stories, it is a professional production, and it publicizes CU Boulder

          1. It is important to garner attention and to provide for a larger audience beyond CU due to platforms like CU

          2. A great opportunity to bring CU Boulder community together 

          3. Would also be a good opportunity for groups to see an outline of how they can conduct events in the future

        8. Estimates are based with the Communications School, One College Production is part of this school

          1. Skills are professional

        9. Regarding the cameras and live production

          1. Five camera angles could be considered as “overkill”

          2. Possibly three cameras 

        10. Livestreaming the actual speakers, and can edit video later to post at later date

          1. Let’s ask about the livestreaming, can ask about connection problems

        11. Ask about camera positions

          1. If speakers are sitting, three makes sense, but if speakers are moving and like to use the stage five cameras would make sense

        12. Final Questions to Submit:

          1. What is the necessity of five cameras? Is it possible to reduce?

          2. Is the event being live streamed?  

      4. Mission Statement Alignment

        1. Motion to approve the mission statement alignment for TedxCU’s event “Pale Blue Dot”

          1. In Favor- Abstain- Negate

          2. Motion passes 12-1-0

        2.  TedxCU aligns with the Cultural Event Board’s mission statement in supporting platforms of underrepresented and misrepresented groups due to the topics the event focuses on, namely in addressing topics such as food insecurity and its intersections with education, and deriving power from aspects of self derived from personal identity.
