17th.  Tech will need help:  Mike L., Sascha M.,  Brent M., James H., Bob C.,
will help.  Sascha signed contract for SolTec (network connection).

Outreach:  IMC-IRC town meeting was not very effective.  Jason Croft is
interested in independent producers who will create media for WILL --
especially for Sidetrack.  Paul R. and Ellen K. met with zine producers last
Sunday as representatives from IMC.  Zine makers donated their media to IMC. 
Sascha will continue to talk with Jo Thomas of the New York Times -- perhaps
she could get involved with the IMC.  Paul R. will join the IRC group.  Global
IMC networking liaisons are needed -- to grant writers and for general
communication.

Equipment:  a portable word processor was donated to the IMC.

Space:  Paul R. brought up issue of renting space to groups.  Issues of what
Space, Fundraising, and Performance groups were responsible for.

the
list).  Sign up for the list IMC-SUMMARIES for daily digest of news posted to
IMC website from http://lists.groogroo.com.  Webpage causing aesthetic
problems
with some browsers -- please e-mail imc-tech at lists.groogroo.com with problems,
suggestions, and comments.

Librarians:  estimate of 350 hours of work to get electronic archive and
library
system fully up to date and running.  Paper system will be put in place in the
interim.  James H. and Ellen K. will donate minor supplies to make sure the
library checkout system is up and running.  Librarians presented policies for
library and archive.  Policies will be posted to the main IMC list and next
week we will vote on them.  IMC staff will be trained to add information to
the
archive database.  Donations should be put on holding shelf in the back
room of
the IMC.  Long-term loaned items should be marked by the donator (bookplates
should be used if possible).

Membership Categories:  approved by Steering Committee.  Mike L. will get
pamphlet to Sascha.

Staffing Coordinator:  passed on to the space committee.

campaign.  Contact danielle at onthejob.net if interested.
