January 10, 2000

• December 6, 1999 approved as written.

• As Lauren's computer is under repair and the files were inaccessible to her, there was no Business Manager report. Lauren noted there was no data loss due to the computer problem.

• As Jan was not present, there was no discussion of Journal issues.

• FLEAT
• Symposium is partially set. LeeAnn informed us computer classrooms will be available for workshops.
• Papers should be ready for review later this month. As there is minimal support forthcoming from Japan this FLEAT, the question arose should IALL subsidize its member presenters? Possible amounts were discussed. Current IALL members who have been accepted to present papers at FLEAT will receive an email stating the organization is willing to offer a small subsidy to attend. The individual will be asked to specify for what the subsidy will be used. There was some discussion of precedent. A precedent already exists as joint funds were provided in the past (1992).
• MOTION: Read proposed IALL will provide some small subsidies to IALL members presenting at the FLEAT. Chris seconded. The motion passed unanimously.

Nina joined the meeting at 12:28pm.

• SLM
• Need to finalize dates and arrangements. The schedule is tentatively set for May 21-22-23 or May 25-26-27.

• Status of Groups
  David has asked the regional groups to send him the names and addresses of the regional newsletter editors.
• Meetings/Newsletters
  Confirmation was given the $2 reimbursement must be requested by regional executive and meet the requirements specified in the By-Laws. Lauren noted she has received just two requests for reimbursement.

• Weeding of old publications
  Per Lauren's discussions with Frank, it is prudent to reduce our inventory stock of older materials no longer being requested. Several possibilities for archiving were suggested including CLEAR (at MSU), ERIC (particularly to make back issues available at ERIC) and the Library of Congress. It was determined Frank should keep one complete set of all publications to date. Further discussion of retention of back issue inventory planned for February BCC.
• Lab Tours video status
  Chris will check with Dick Kuettner to see if he has an archival set. We should plan to pair them with the Laboratory Management Manual or the Design Kit as supporting digital media. We will have another video tours competition for IALL 2001. David will inform Jacque Kaminski.
• ACTFL feedback
  There have been suggestions for another Task-Based Activities for computer activities. It could be part of the Design Kit for integration. Lauren will contact LeeAnn Stone to find out her suggestions on the process. David will explore with Jan how we might use the Journal to make a resource list on what's new, computer integration, etc.

• David confirmed the video tours have been removed from the web order form.
• Lauren and Rachel discussed how to expedite shipping the Journal to new members.
• David solicited input from the Board and Council on web re-design and link suggestions.

• Deadline for site proposals
  Read will send an email "last call" to member database with mid-March deadline.

• Meeting dates/times for Spring BCC's 2000 remain 2/7, 3/6, 4/3, 5/1.

 Meeting Adjourned at 1:34pm.
