1. The meeting was called to order at
6:35PM by Chair Anne Hance
2. We approved the agenda with the
addition of a last minute request for assistance from the Davis High School
PTA.
3. a) The representative from the City
of Davis Alternate Fuel Vehicle Task Force (DAFVTF) did not appear. Anne will
ask if they still wish to present their request.
b) Tsui Chang presented a request on
behalf of the Davis High school PTA (dhspta). The committee approved the
follwoing:
The use of 4 Lists intended ultimately
for use by parents
of incoming freshmen (9th grades), and
parents of the three
high school years 10, 11 and
12.
Option a) Four (4) MailMan Lists
without charge for as
long as they are needed by the PTA.
These would be
set up with the assistance of the DCN
WebTeam and
the contact person is Steve McMahon at
steve@dcn.org
Option b) Four Majordomo Lists without
charge through
September 15, 2002. The normal fee of
$5 per month
per list would be payable to DCN after
that time unless
a time extension is
requested.
And, The assistance of the DCN Web Team
in setting up
and initial management of the MailMan
Lists.
In conversation the committee shared
with Tsui the suggestion that the PTA might develop some guidelines to resort to
if the list is misused in any way. It was agreed, however, that Lists are
generally very well behaved.
4. a) (i) Ways to increase project
requests: Rajiv suggested something in local papers. Richard L. said this was
on his to-do list and would be pushed to the top.
a) (ii) Ways to ensure project success:
Richard reported that about 28 people have responded to express interest in one
or more classes/workshops. He is working to schedule the classes and needs
potential instructors and class helpers to get in touch with him (or vice
versa). The relevant form is at
http://www.dcn.org/dcn/ipc/interest_form.html
. Anne asked committee members to review last month's meeting notes which
include the list of things that are expected to be part of the DCN WebTeam's
Template project - and pass any further thoughts on to Steve
<steve@dcn.org> .
Other;
Richard Yamagata would like to present
a project with Lamp Post Pizza. Anne thought this might not be an IPC project
this time (a much earlier project did help the Pizza company) and suggested that
Richard approach Richard Lowenberg who would bring the request to the DCN
Executive Committee.
Richard Lowenberg may soon have a
Knights landing project for the IPC to consider.
5. We adjourned at 7:45
P.M.
NEXT MEETING: Wednesday, April 3,
2002
