a $2,500 grant distribution being received from the
Artists of Wayne County project.

being run on a relatively tight budget. Discussion ensued

New Business
Jane gave the
Executive Director's report,
highlighting progress that has been made on the "Artists of Wayne
County" web site, fund distributions for that project, concerns
regarding future upgrades for our computer as IU East will not be able
to offer an upgrade to our existing system. Jodi Johnson suggested
contacting Kara Monroe at Ivy Tech to see if Ivy Tech could offer
similar support to what we have received from IU East in the past.
A motion to accept the report was made by Amy Spears and seconded by E.
Thomas Kemp. Motion carried.
Discussion began on the
policy additions and
corrections suggested by the Mission/Vision/Programs committee.
RE: Privacy Policy
Discussion on the sentence "We do not share this information with third
parties" under the "Registration heading. It was felt this
sentence should be left in and adhered to as the income stream from
sharing names would be unlikely to be sufficient to risk violating the
trust of our visitors.
Under "Disclosures Required By Law", E. Thomas
Kemp expressed the opinion that this remain as stated as a broader, more
general statement would better serve a private not-for-profit
organization.
Gary Arndts suggested the heading "No Error Free
Performance" be changed to "Performance"
for a more positive outlook.
RE: Talk of the Town Policy
- no changes.
RE: Linking Policy
A wording change on item #2: from "Web sites that are useful" to
"Web sites that are relevant..".
It was stated that the section "Scope of the Collection" was for board
and director reference only and was not intended to be placed on the web
site.
RE: Calendar Policy -
Change to line item #2. Wording to be changed from "Events
must be open to the general public. Exception:
WayNet members in good
standing may post private events." to "Events must be
of interest to the general public."
