Robena is assisting in tweaking the “Fish logo.”Other work on other logo by Yacinski in on gratis.

Policy Committee: Report- Meeting was around how directors are appointed or nominated. Dave C. suggest that any policy changes should be small, baby steps, as the organization has an established way of doing business. Bob W (Authored Policy Committee minority report): Thinks that the entire organization could be changed drastically with the way the current policy and procedures that are in place. Chuck: People who come to corporate meeting are for the most part DJs or are directly involved, would like to see the organization move in a more egalitarian direction. John Y: Concerned that enlarging voter population could lead to drastic change. The need for a nominating committee was discussed.
