The ASUCD Recorder is responsible for recording the minutes of ASUCD Senate meetings, attendance, changes and edits to legislation, vote tallys, collecting reports from Senators and photo copying papers to various paper for the Student Government Administrative Office(SGAO). The ASUCD Recorder is also present during Budget meetings. They are usually stationed next to the ASUCD Vice President and are the only ones that have a laptop on the table.
Ideally an ASUCD Recorder should be able to type 50+ words a minute, know people's names, have a good sense of hearing, and have some sense of ASUCD terms and phrases. A recorder also needs a laptop and although one should not depend on it, a tape recorder. It is not expected that the Recorder be able to transcribe every single word spoken during the meetings but should be able to cover general ideas and points of a speaker. Open government is dependent in many ways to the ASUCD Recorder.
Contact information for the ASUCD Recorder as well as applications to apply to be one, a may be found in the SGAO on the Third floor of the MU. Recorders do not have office hours in SGAO. Recorders are paid based on their hours in the ASUCD Senate meeting as well as the hours transcribing their notes to SGAO.
The current Recorder as of Fall quarter 2006 is BobbyGray. The minutes that he has not yet submitted to SGAO can be viewed in their current form here. If you have a report that needs to be submitted to him electronically, you should sent it to <asucdminutes@hotmail.com>
The position is currently vacant as of May 3, 2007.
There were once paid commission recorders for the ASUCD Business and Finance Commission and the ASUCD Internal Affairs Commission who served the same function, though these positions were cut.

You could ask those in SGAO on the third floor of the MU but I don't think they keep those kinds of records. This page should stay because it is a paid position in ASUCD and is the main source for open government documents. It's also an interesting position in that it's the only one at the Senate table who is not a part of Senate discussion. —SteveOstrowski
2007-05-09 10:26:03 Why does this page exist? This is a page that's not on public officials, but on a person who keeps one meeting running. They have limited public importance, but look, this page is longer than ASUCD Vice President. What's next, a Student Affairs Office Receptionist page? Delete. —BrentLaabs
