Public Comments 

• Overall, Club Day was successful; there were some things that could have been established to know right away as a task, however the day went very well and everyone did great work. 

Business Item 1

• Check Ins
• Check In Question: What was your favorite part about Club Day? What is one improvement that could be made for the next one?
  • Glows: Majority appreciated the turnout as well as engaging with the clubs face to face. 
  • Grows: Performances were limited to clubs in the front; market more in advance; more notice was needed for clubs that needed tables; needed people to walk clubs to their specific table; Mics were tough to hear for many; sign up process could be more seamless; the left over trash was an issue. 
• Discord Announcement: A Discord channel will be created by Joel Ng before the next Club Day to make communication seamless for all. It will consist of multiple channels including a "General FAQ" channel for efficiency when communicating with new and potential clubs as well as bots when the ICC Club Council is in a meeting and/or not available right away.

1. Economics and Fintech Association

   • Discussion over how to give space for new clubs with similar ambitions as current clubs.
   • Joel N moved to end debate.
   • Carys A seconded the motion; no objections.

2. DEASA (De Anza East African Association)

   • Maritza A mentioned the prevalence of differences between the experience of Black American students vs. the experiences of African students, clarifying the justification for separate clubs if that is desired by students on campus.

   • Joel N seconded the motion; no objections.
