Re: [SLUG] Monthly Meeting Friday 31 October 2003

It has been pointed out that the actual motion to be voted on at
tomorrow's meeting is:

a) Leaving it alone.  
b) Moving to a moderated list.
c) Changing it to a members only list.
d) Changing it to a financial members only list.

Option b) will revert to an a) unless we have at least 3 volunteers for
a guaranteed 12 months.

Unless there is a speaker willing to address the meeting on behalf of an
option, it will be removed from the list before the vote. 

Regards,
Jan.
