This should be done and reported on by the next meeting.

Various wordings were discussed on the subject of illegal or defamatory information with no decisions being made.

No dissenting votes were cast. motion carried. It was requested that HHCI be contacted in regard to the donation they have pledged. Conflicts of interest were discussed. Hugh explained that the usual procedure is for a board member to declare a conflict if their financial interest is influenced by a board decision. In such cases the member will step down for the time it takes for the decision to be made. Bernie H. is said to be working on having some introductory sessions at the information media services building of the provincial library. The issue of building security must be resolved before this can start. Demo dates will be posted in a separate mailout. Communications.

David M will start an online discussion of what the priorities will be for placement of such sites. Schools/Youth committee: It was agreed that they are two different interests each deserving a team or committee of its own. Future Meetings: It was decided that the schedule demands of the members makes it necessary to stagger the days on which meetings will be held. This way no one will have to miss every meeting.
