[IAEP] IAEP Digest, Vol 101, Issue 9

[Tony Anderson]

+1

The mailing list seems like a good idea. involving the Board appears to 
be in order. I think the August meeting was a vacation for the members 
since no real Board business was discussed; however, I would assume that 
the membership of the Election and Membership Committee would be a 
proper topic at the September meeting.
