[Tech] [statecom] Reminder about minutes and the bylaws

[Daniel Melnechuk]

Hi John,

Until such time we have a simple way to upload minutes to a  
committee's web space (Note Tech committee: which should be in the  
plan for our new site) all we have now is to post minutes of  
subcommittee meeting minutes to the working committee email list of  
which that subcommittee is a part of. This DOES get it on the web  
site in that ALL of our lists are archived so anyone can go and see  
the mintues.

So please simply post the minutes to the appropriate list. It  
shouldn't be hard if you have them. If you are not on the list for  
the committee that is the parent of the subcommittee, the list admin  
will see that is is minutes for the subcommittee. You might want to  
put in the subject:

	Subcommittee XYZZY minutes for date mm/dd/yyyy

Thanks for all your minute taking and work.

Peace,
Dan
