1. Advanced Material for ILR Board Calls
   Karen expressed concerns about not getting meeting material in time to read it in advance of the meeting. Jan will try to get everything to the BOD one week in advance so we can each have more time to review the material before each meeting.
2. Review of Registrar’s Report.
   There was a discussion regarding the necessity to continue to employ a computer programmer to make certain the registry stays current with technology.
3. Review report of petitions committee.
4. Finalization of contract for Alan Schmautz.
   Jan will make revisions suggested by ILR attorney Joe Fonfara and send the revised version to each BOD member for comment and vote at next meeting.
5. Preliminary survey results regarding the question of whether ILR should publish a magazine
   The results were interesting. To date 281 surveys have been received, 77%, or 217 respondents, were in favor of ILR having a publication, 15%, or 41, said no and 8%, or 23, were undecided. The BOD discussed mail delays involved in bulk mailings and the merit of extending deadlines in order to encourage more response. Complete report will be presented by next BOD call.
6. ILR Directory 2001
   The question is whether or not it is worth printing a Directory if we don’t have enough interest from the membership in purchasing one. Item tabled until next meeting when we have a completed survey report and number of orders for the 2001 Directory.
7. 2nd Generation Screening
   Due to the number of calls and letters to the ILR regarding second generation screening the BOD decided to spend the next few months taking another look at this issue.
8. Registrar Evaluation
   Jack will work on a form for evaluation of Jan’s performance. He will have the form prepared for BOD review by next meeting.
9. Policy Book Revision
   Any corrections or additions to the revised Policy Book will be sent to Jan by November 1, 2000 so Jan can make corrections and send a final copy back to each BOD member by November 7, 2000 in preparation for the next meeting. Work on the Policy Book will be the major agenda item for the next call.
