Approval of Minutes The minutes of the May 23 meeting were approved without objection. Reports of Officers The President, Justin Mallone, reported that he had been contacted by a magazine called Y-Press, who had requested a phone interview with him. The Secretary, Oliver Traldi, had no official report. The Treasurer, Susan Wishnetsky, had no official report. The Webmaster, David Schneider-Joseph, reported that he had been working with Daniel M to set up a site with information about curfews on the ASFAR webpage. He also mentioned adding books to the online bookstore and creating a form to let people contact Michigan representatives about HB 4627. Reports of Committees The zine committee reported that they needed submissions for their next issue. A request for volunteers to write articles was met with enthusiasm. There was some discussion of whether to make an effort to include satirical articles about nonsenical, oppressive laws in Youth Truth. Old Business David SJ reported that Chris Hansen of the ACLU informed him that the brief which the ACLU's lawyer would be writing would probably not be applicable to ASFAR's position specifically, in addition to the fact that he wasn't sure if it was going to be a good idea to file a brief at all. After some discussion it was decided that it would be best to wait and see what happens for now. New Business The issue of moving the ASFAR discussion and announcement lists off of Yahoo! Groups was postponed until the next meeting. A motion was made to create a very low-traffic "action" announcement list to consist of only two messages per two months. The motion was seconded and passed. The next board meeting was scheduled for June 20, 2001, at 9:15 pm eastern time. The meeting adjourned at 11:05 pm eastern time. Respectfully submitted, Oliver Traldi Secretary, ASFAR
