In other groups I am in using Loomio there was still a need for private messaging and phone calls as individuals and as a group. I think we can avoid the cost of a zoom account by using google Meet check out this description of how it works. There is also a neat option to record Google Meet transcripts so we can all participate without having to have a secretary recording what transpired. From my research, I think this will be a better GOSEP meeting option than Zoom.
