The agenda was approved. 2. Minutes of the first AGM (May 1994, Fredericton) were approved. 3. Reports a) Financial Officer -- On behalf of the financial officer, Kenna Manos, Doug V. presented the report. To date 59 people have paid their 1994-95 membership fees. There have been no expenses yet, so our total income is $3483.70. It was agreed that CASLL fees would be based on the academic year, and would be payable in October. Note: Membership privileges include receiving the newsletter and books produced by the publishing initiative. Fees ($27.50 regular, $17.50 student and underemployed) can be sent to Kenna Manos, Nova Scotia School of Art and Design, 5163 Duke Street, Halifax, NS B3J 3J6. Cheques should be made out to "Inkshed at NSCAD." If you aren't yet a paid-up member of CASLL for 1994-95, please become one now! b) Inkshed newsletter: Mary-Louise and Leslie reported on the newsletter. There was much discussion about the feasibility of publishing CASLL computer network discussions in Inkshed. It seemed to be the consensus that selecting and presenting such contributions is an act of authorship, so someone would have to volunteer to do it. The possibility of having different themes for Inkshed issues was discussed. Mary-Louise and Leslie said they were having difficulty getting copy, and encouraged everyone to submit material as soon and as often as possible. It was agreed that people who are receiving Inkshed but haven't paid CASLL dues will be reminded of this by Mary-Louise. c) Publishing initiative: On behalf of the publishing group (Laura, Sandy, Pat, Stan Straw, and Neil Besner), Sandy reported that two new books will be appearing by the end of the summer. One is by Martin Behr (edited by Rick Coe) on the rhetoric of Kenneth Burke; the other is an edited volume on gender and the deadline for proposals is 8 September 1995 and that the review board consists of the entire Inkshed community. Sandy discussed the marketing of these books (Coutts, CCTELA). Andrea suggested a display table be set up at 4Cs. Sandy encouraged everyone to get their library to order a copy. 4. Membership fees The Board of Directors recommended, and people agreed, that the annual fees remain at $27.50 (regular and institutional) and $17.50 (student and underemployed). 5. Inkshed 13 Marcy, Andrea, and Russ initially agreed to host Inkshed 13 in southern Ontario; however, after consulation with the Winnipeg delegation, they changed their offer to Inkshed 14. Laura, Sandy, and Pat agreed to host Inkshed 13 (1996) in Winnipeg; thanks were extended to all. 6.
