MN-StF Board Meeting 20 September 1993 MN-StF Board Minutes Persons present: Kay Drache, David S Cargo, Dean Gahlon, Martin Schafer, Mitch Pockrandt, Thomas Keeley, Scott Raun, Don Bailey, Margo Bratton, Polly Jo Peterson Corresponding Secretary Issues Margo wanted to point out that we had more than $90 worth of postage returns from PR#1 and we should do something to reduce this amount. John Wirsig may have a connection to help with this problem. Margo also wanted to know what she is authorised to throw away and what she should do with stuff that comes in the mail that is not obvious as to to whom it goes. It was suggested that she use her judgement to throw away junk, make a file of stuff that people might be interested in (and say bring it to MN-StF meetings) and that we should write to the mail preference service and get them to stop whatever junk mail they can. (the four color photo sneaker offer, an offer for a MN-StF American Express Card, catalogues, you know all the usual stuff) Margo finally asked if she should be keeping a log of what the MN-StF copier is used for and this was deemed a good idea in order to find out what it is being used for. Kay will get Margo a copy of her job description. OTML What Scott and Thomas think is happening to the One True mailing list is this: Scott is handling it until all of the Minicon 28 changes are entered and then Thomas will take over except that Scott will continue to do the formatting of the directory because he has the better printer capability. (In fact Thomas has no printer and doesn't need one except for MN-StF and Minicon stuff. David has a printer that might work for Thomas.) They expect this changeover to happen by the time PR#2 needs labels around Thanksgiving. So far Scott is getting get-me-on-the-list requests from Myrna and they (Scott and Thomas) will let her know when the change-over occurs. The board is clear that there should be only one One True Mailing List and that people with specialized lists such as Supercon and ReinCONation registration lists, Minicon programming participant or dealers lists and Einblatt should get that info to the OTML so that it is all in one place and usable by other people who need it. MPLS in '73 at I-Con The board approved the usual $73 for Raymond Banks to have a Mpls in '73 party at I-con. Supercon Victor Raymond sent a proposal to do Supercon III with the encouragement of some of the members of PFRC. The board was willing to approve the $250 request as an opportunity for outreach. Ministorage Kay thinks that the annual rent is probably due, that it will go up and she will call the lady from Ministorage and get a check from Carol. (David says he knows something about Cargo-handling) Polly suggested a storage organizing party so that we could get the shelves assembled and the locker organized quickly and will less work for any one or a few individuals. Paper Folder David reports that Denny reports that the new paper folder has died. David will get the warranty info from Denny and will see what can be done. (The meeting broke up without setting a location for the next meeting which will be Monday October 18 at 7:30 pm.) Polly Jo Peterson Secretary
