Motion: Sally Rucker. Approve minutes the 2005 face-to-face meeting. Second Kathi McKinney. 5 Ayes The next teleconference meeting will be held August 16, 2005 at 12 Noon, EDT.

Registrar’s Report:

• There was discussion regarding the outstanding ARI bill and how we can get the attorney to proceed expediently. Legally we have moved forward as rapidly as p ossible and the board thinks the stalling tactics by ARI are taking too much time.  The newly remodeled rental space is finished and has been occupied since the first of the month.  Suri Llama Association contract will be signed and returned to ILR by the end of the month.  The show superintendent module and the association module are close to completion and ready to be “test driven”.  Kathi McKinney will go to Camelid Conference in August at her own expense. Jan Wassink will go to the ID conference in September.  There was a discussion of the possibility of offering an on-line sale catalog service for producers having sales. This service would allow instant access to photos in the ILR database of ancestors of animals offered for sale and could be a good resource for potential buyers as well as sellers.  Jan answered questions on the financial statements and profit and loss for 2005.
