   Approved.

C. Business

   1. New Projects / Discount Awards

   a) Yolo Hospice Miniproject.  The Yolo Hospice has found that fewer
   patients and families have been using its services recently and
   hopes that outreach through the Web might change that.  Virginia
   Shubert and Erinn Melby described the kinds of information they
   would like to present, and Steve McMahon reviewed the available
   options for Webteam assistance.  The project was approved for a
   six-month period with three dial-up accounts, Webteam assistance
   and training.

   2. Clarification of Printed Matter project.  Tabled in Richard
   Yamagata's absence, although Steve McMahon relayed the Executive
   Committee's opinion that advertising on the site was not
   inconsistent with DCN's previous practice.  This was disputed, and
   discussion will continue at the next meeting.

   3. Mail lists with non-subscriber as owner.  Tabled.

   4. Chair Anne Hance noted that her proposal for nonprofit discounts
   had been approved by the Board, and that Staff will include that in
   their next review of the pricing structure.  In addition, Anne
   proposed a set of criteria (listed on the agenda) for IPC approval
   of such discounts.  Steve McMahon noted that subdomains of
   davis.ca.us could be assigned by the domain administrator, and that
   the restriction to dcn.davis.ca.us might not be necessary.  The
   tentative proposal to exclude political action or persuasion groups
   from eligibility raised several questions, and that, along with the
   other criteria, will be discussed at future meetings.

The remaining agenda items were tabled.  Meeting adjourned at
approximately 7:30 PM.
