There was a discussion of what items on the list should be consolidated 
and how the bottom line should be represented.  There will be a line added
to reflect the cost of developing Chebucto-Suite.

POlICY: Regarding illegal and questionable material available via CCN.  
Laura and Hugh will sit on a task group, tentatively called 'sticky 
issues' to develop plans of action for events such as this latest.  They 
will create a terms of reference and invite participation from a few 
promising people.  The first meeting will be on the 30th of May.  Hugh 
will be asked to help us in establishing a relationship with the police 
for situations like this.

PAT's.  A policy on sites and responsibilities is in the works.  PAT 
support will be an ongoing need.  Future sites will hopefully include The

Halifax.  There are people there in the process of training to be IP's.  
Renee is investigating how we can be involved in the WAN project in the 
provincial Gov't. They have a need for accounts for civil servants.  The 
federation should be involved and is planning to meet before the end of June.

MEMBERSHIP PROCESS:

- First it is ridiculed...
- then it is violently opposed...
- finally, it is accepted as self evident."
