1. The meeting was called to order at 6:30pm by the Chair 
2. The Draft Agenda was approved by consensus 
3. The following 4 projects were approved: 

a) Applegate Nursery School:
Proposal by Nancy Hodges  & Lowell Ashbaugh 
Project Start 3/5/03 End 9/5/03
	1 Simple Site
	1 Mailman List
	Training and help in the use of these resources 

b) Putah Creek Discovery Corridor Partnership (PCDC Partnership): 
Proposal by Margaret Kralovec  & Rich Marovich 
Project Start 3/5/03 Project End 12/5/03 
1 Simple Site
	2 Mailman Lists
	Training and help in the use of these resources 

c) Woodland Senior Center:
Proposal by Maria Lucchesi  
Project Start 3/5/03 Project End 3/5/2004 
1 free dcn dialup account for one year
The rationale for authorizing this dial up was based on the type of use to which 
the account will be put. The request was made necessary by City of Woodland 
budget cuts and  will be used,  exclusively to benefit seniors, by the Woodland 
Senior Center Community Resource Specialist. This person will use it to access 
the Internet to research information about social services available to area 
seniors. This is something that is currently proving very effective in revealing 
new or hitherto unknown opportunities.

d) Wood Moulding, Manufacturers, and Producers Association (WMMPA): 
Proposal by Richard Yamagata  
Project Leader: Heidi Ratzlaff Xiong 
Project Start 3/5/03 Project End 9/5/03
	Zope Folder with option of a Zope Forum 
A further aspect of this proposal is a partnership between DCN and Virtual 
Markets in which Virtual Markets wishes to negotiate with DCN the use of 
space in the Zope environment on Velocipede for which they will pay a monthly 
fee. The IPC advised Richard Yamagata to work with Richard Lowenberg on 
this. 

4. There was brief discussion concerning lack of continuity in nonprofit group 
leadership resulting in loss of institutional memory concerning resources 
authorized through IPC projects. This had been addressed during the reviews of 
the proposals before the committee and project applicants had been asked to 
supply official real-mail addresses and phone numbers of the organizations they 
represented. 

5. Thoughts to forward to the DCN Board as it undertakes its annual retreat.
There was not time to have this discussion and so Anne asked committee 
members to send their thoughts to her by email 

Adjourned at 7:58pm
Next meeting April 2, 2003
