[Businessmtg] Proposed Amendments to Motion's Language

[Marilyn Booms]

I like the clarity added by Jerry's amendments to our motion as copied
below.  Although we in this meeting understand the intention of the
original version,  the additional wording keeps things clear for future
reference.


1. ASP's Prudent Reserve to be equal to one year's operating expenses;
actual amount to be calculated by the Steering Committee and recalculated as
needed.

2. Funds in excess of the Prudent Reserver are to be donated quarterly

according to the following formulae:
a. Interim: Until ASP belongs to an Electronic District.
District N/A
Area 60%
WSO 40%
b. Permanent; once the conditions of (a) above have been met, the following
formula for donating excess funds applies.
District 60%
Area 30%
WSO 10%"
