[Bookstoprisoners] Fwd: [Imc] Steering Notes April 5, 2007

[Brian Dolinar]

I agree with Danielle.
Its helpful to have occassional access to the copy machine
(which I provide paper for).

And its a good place to hold private conversations.
Chris and I have come up with several secret schemes in the BTP room ;-)
I would like to see it stay open to keyholders.
