The ASP Secretary has asked that I announce the results of the poll. Motion: "That a temporary committee be formed, answerable to the Business Committee, to reassess ASP's newcomer-related materials and how ASP could better serve newcomer needs." 34 votes were recorded, all in favor. No abstentions. Jane "It is easier to put on slippers than to carpet the world." ~Stuart Smalley
