policy and commercialism will be on agenda for next meeting. 
Joan Mac will also speak with Ross to determine if he can carry on in any 
capacity to assist fundraising.

Item 2 UNSOLICITED JUNK MAIL
Renee requested that the Policy on Information (PIC) committee have a 
policy regarding junk mail (unsolicited email). Peter mentioned that 
there are policies in place which are not directive in this regard.
Joan Mac moved (seconded JF, passed unanimously) that the board not take 
action regarding unsolicited email until the complainant has personally 
contacted the alleged abuser and only then when the alleged abuses are 
widespread or repeated  and where the abuser is a ccn user.

(probable) date of 19 March 96. There will be reports from all 
committees. PH, DTo, JBH will meet to plan next week.

Item 7 AB(USE) OF DAL LABS
JF raised the issue of the unauthorized use of the DAL computer labs by 
users of the CCN. This seems to have been encouraged by the authorized 
use of the DAL Labs as a site for CCN instruction. So as to continue this 
amicable relationship with DAL while at the same time not accepting any 
responsibility for the inappropriate actions of our members, Jan will 
write a letter to DAL and will make postings to the appropriate 
newsgroups requesting that our members refrain from this practice.

Item 8 OUTREACH COMMITTEE 
Jan spoke about an outreach committee whose mandate would be to "spread 
the message" about the Community Net.  Joan Mac went on to suggest that 
this was different from the communications committee in that it would be 
more "holistic". Matthew Wulfman and Carol Sin-Wulfman may wish to form 
part of this committee.
JF and JB will speak about this matter and report back.

Item 9 
JF reported that she is fixing the BOARD page.

Item 10
Regarding Cable in the schools, Bernie will follow up.
