Departments:

So far we have 167 members. There was some discussion about names with bad addresses ("lost souls")-- bounces from PR 1. It was decided not to post those names on the Web site.

The Millennium Hotel has a new electronic reservation system. Susan Levy Haskell will contact ConCom members asking them to try ("beta test") it before we announce it in our publicity.

Beth Friedman report that Programming has a draft timeline.

Fred Levy Haskell can provide electronic and hard copy membership lists, sorted in various ways, as needed.
