President Ernst van Waning called the meeting to order at 19:33 PDT
with all seven voting members present: R. Corman, N. Levine,
D. Rettig, Heow Eide-Goodman, R. Johnson, K. Hisao, and J. White.
Also of note, all six officers (1 voting) were present.

- JonL White provides a report of the status of the music concert with
  CCRMA.  With one or more individuals backing out, some room
  reservations have been cancelled.  We have committed the string
  quartet and the ALU may be liable for cancellation fees.  If no
  fees, we should pay them something anyway since one member of the
  quartet has flown here for the performance, and for their rehearsal
  time.  No motion at this time.  Jonl will attempt to reconstruct the
  concert at the last minute and at great expense, hopefully in the
  Dinkelspiel Auditorium, which has better accoustics and won't cost
  us much except minimal employee fees.

- N. Levine raises the issue of data protection, mentioning the Data
  Protection Act in the U.K. and inquires of the equivalent in the US.
  Discussion ensues regaling the board with the delightful intricacies
  of the US Privacy Act and HIPA.  Essentially, since we maintain no
  SSN, credit card or health information of any of the members, we do
  not fall under those acts at this time.

- Discussion of the role of extended board and committees.  Committees
  should have specific goals and time limits, not just open standing
  committes.  Also, all committees should have sponsorship of at least
  one board member (officer or director) who will report directly to
  the board at regular meetings or as directed by the board.
  N. Levine moves that the ALU board resolve that ALU committees have
  sponsorship by at least one board member and have specific tasks,
  goals, and deadlines and shall report to the board as directed by
  the board. R. Corman seconds the motion.  Vote called and passed
  unanimously. (20:15)

- R. Johnson moves that the ALU extended board be dissolved and
  recommend to the succeeding ALU board reconstitute an advisory board
  or extended board as they see fit.  After vigorous discussion, the
  motion was recalled by the makers.

- Discussion held about next ILC's to include the possibilities and
  tentative plans for holding the next as ILC'06 in Europe and ILC'08
  in Cambridge, MA (MIT) for the 50th anniversary of Lisp.

- Nick Levine expresses the heartfelt appreciation of the ALU board to
  Carl Shapiro for his tremendous effort in putting together an
  impressive conference.  The entire ALU board heartily agreed.

- JonL White moved for adjournment.  N. Levine seconds.  Passed
  unanimously.

Meeting ends at 20:39 PDT
