[Businessmtg] Business Meeting discussion

[Usha Vaidya]

Dear ASP family and friends,

Thank you everyone for your service and thank you Steve.

I apologize for not responding as I was bit confused.  I agree for the
removal of Web Master's position, and giving the job to the secretary. But
does the term used for the post of Assistant to Secretary mean Alternate
Secretary as normally done in f2f meetings ? I hope  I am rightly asking.

Thank you.

Love in the fellowship
Usha
