Nonprofit Internet Toolkit (Anne) 

Anne reported on progress on the toolkit web pages. Anne noted that we would be updating printable documents for our major tools.

Online Tutorials (Teri)

Work is well underway. The first few are expected to be the hardest. We’re learning a lot.

Room update (Sheila)

Sheila wasn’t available. Lesson learned last night: holidays will need to be anticipated. Sheila will be following up on training room protocols.

Spring Classes (Tsui, Sheila)

A survey requesting suggestions is now open. A first draft of classes is in development. We’ll need a schedule so that we can have a board member at every class.

Meeting with City Manager

Jim has put together a meeting with the City Manager. Jim, Tsui and possibly Teri can make it. This has come up because the city was considering promoting a commercial (ad-supported) company that duplicate some services of DCN tools.

Committee reports

RAC: Jan reported on approvals last night, including the Davis Diamonds parents association.

Web Team: Problem with unmoderated link spam in a group site has been solved; new admin for site found.
