was to require chapters to observe the same privacy policy with regard to
their membership list as specified in the national bylaws, and another to
prohibit sexual contact between chapter officers and other chapter members.
No motion was made.

There was discussion of the possibility of members who might embarrass or
discredit ASFAR because of past or present criminal activity, which might be
discovered by the media or people opposed to ASFAR and used against us.  A
portion of this discussion was held in a closed session, to protect the
privacy of ASFAR members.  No motion was made.

Eric Anderson moved to authorize the expenditure for the annual report's $15
filing fee.  The motion was seconded and carried.
