Reports

Librarians: RETURN YOUR OVERDUE BOOKS AND WHEN YOU CHECK SOMETHING OUT,
PUT YOUR CONTACT INFO AND NAME ON THE SLIP! Librarians will post the
directions for checking out books.

Space: next meeting is Wednesday. Work party is coming up this Saturday
(42002). Volunteers will be coming to help out. Anyone who wants to help
out, contact Sascha. Tools are needed (drills, vacuum cleaner)

Shows: Zach is buying a PA and mics in Chicago this weekend. This
Wednesday's meeting will be around 7 instead of 8 because of a show. This
may happen sometimes because shows cannot always work around meetings.

Finance: Deficit is indeed upon us. Contact Sascha if you can help out
with fund raising.

Print: Print Monday, distro on Tuesday. Contact print group if you can
help out with distro.

Tech: No outstanding issues. Audio kit bag has been "borrowed" again and
not checked out on the sheet. PLEASE LET TECH KNOW WHEN YOU BORROW A TECH
BAG! BE CONSCIOUS OF OTHERS' NEEDS.

Old Business:

--Addition of Anti-discrimination language to org. document:

Ellen proposes that final decision be put off until next week. There will
be a meeting this coming Tuesday 6pm to discuss the wording, think about
it, mull it over etc. Agreed.

New Business:

--Global discussion list:

Brian: Global wants each local IMC to discuss the proposal of the process
list becoming a liaison list having at least one person from each IMC
participate. This will not be a decision-making list, but only a way that
each IMC can keep in contact with Global and vice-versa. The proposal can
be found on the global list (proposal archive). This needs to be ratified
by 041602. Ellen questions whether this will increase our involvement.
Brian responds that this will be very low-key and will not have
decision-making responsibility. The liaisons facilitate information and
coordination of IMCs. Brian has been following the global lists. Sascha
suggests that an email be sent to global to the effect that U-C IMC thinks
it's a good idea. Since Brian has been following the lists, he will be the
liaison for the time being.

--Shows $$$: Sascha wanted to clarify, money from shows are currently
going toward buying PA and other operating costs of shows. Currently, 25%
of the door for each show is going into the IMC budget. This is based on 4
shows/month in order for shows to be self-supporting. There is a question
about where $$ over and above the 4 shows goes to. Brian and Sascha both
commented on the fact that shows are bringing in folks who want to know
more about the IMC.

Announcements:

Ellen: Meeting on Tuesday 6pm to clarify and hash out the
anti-discrimination wording to be added to the steering group process
document.

Meeting adjourned at 12:30.
