============================================================================ 20 Dec 2008 board meeting Attending board members: Dean, Kevin, Matt Attending other: Kelly, Laura intermittently Kevin reports that Lisa talked to insurance about canceling our policy early. We're now close enough to the end of the term that the cancellation fee is more than the remaining value, so cancelling isn't helpful. We discussed the copyprinter. Matt reports that he discussed it with Keith and Seven. We still can't say whether Minicon is interested in using it for the program book. The two remaining questions are (1) what would a laser printer that could adequately replace the copyprinter cost? (2) Who is really doing publications this year and what do they think? Seven, as of mid-December, wanted to think about whether she was really up for it. We postponed a decision until after New Year's. If she declines the position, Keith will take over, so there is no crisis. Kevin reports that the Convivial hotel has still not said if they will try to charge us for the broken couch and, if so, how much. They claim that they are still evaluating it or something. Convivial has not yet decided what hotel to use for next year. ============================================================================
