(Minutes taken By Angie in Julies absence.)
1. Officers and Project Heads
Pete explained what role the CURC Officers and Project Heads have
with the Steering Committee and membership. He stated the need
to elect Officers and
Project Heads. As Julie had previously volunteered to continue as Secretary
of the Steering Committee throughout her term we unanimously accepted Julies
return as Secretary. Rob had mentioned to Pete his willingness to continue
to work as Chair of the Benchmarking standards committee. Pete volunteered
to continue as Chair if no one else wanted to run for that position. He was
unanimously re-elected. After a few minutes discussion Ed and Angie agreed
to be Co-Vice Chairs. As such Ed and Angie will also Co-Chair as Treasurer
and work with NRC on a work plan budget to implement elements of the work
plan. The Project Heads lead elements of the work plan. During discussion
folks volunteered and were approved to hold the following positions as Project
Leaders: Pat-electronic newsletter, Ed - seek a web-developer to hopefully
recruit as a Steer, Rob- Standards/Benchmarks, Angie- Membership drive/member
issues, Sheela- Spring elections, Julie and Carolyn ABCs and Ed- Rapid
Response.
Still need to fill 2 Steer vacancies with folks interested in leading
a designated project; web overseer is one priority. Steers will recruit
in Baltimore.

3. ABCs
Creative differences have been expressed; it is a concern to how best handle
the politics of this situation, and to learn from this to avoid in the next project
led by volunteers.
Agreement of Steers that voice should be professional 3rd person vs. 1st person.
Steers feel strongly about the professional nature of the concept of a guide
to CURC members.
Getting DRAFT to the NRC is required under our agreement, before we can release
this as a product on the web.
4. Next meeting to be determined as Labor Day is technically the next
