Meeting Minutes not yet available. Agenda information below:
=====================================
From: "Diane Tecic"
Subject: location confirmation
Date: Mon, 24 Feb 2003 21:45:07 -0600
We have confirmed the location for the ISS meeting on March 2. It will be
at the Murphysboro Ranger Station in Murphysboro, IL. The address is 2221
Walnut Street. The meeting room is in the basement. The meeting will start
at about 1:00 pm, and the basement outer door should be open by 12:15
pm-12:30 pm.
Steve Widowski , representing the Shawnee Forest Planning Team, will be
discussing their standards and guidelines for cave use and management, and
the potential opportunities for a joint project.
===============
We are due for elections for President, Vice president, and data management
committee in April, 2003. I would prefer not to have elections at the
meeting in March, but would rather schedule another meeting in April or May,
especially if we are planning to get a project going with the Shawnee.
However, we probably should discuss nominations for these position at the
meeting next weekend, so this will be added to the agenda.

===============
Here is the tentative meeting agenda for the upcoming ISS meeting on March
2. We have been trying to secure a location for the meeting, but it is
still not definite. It will most likely be at the Murphysboro Ranger
station, starting at 12:00 noon, but I need to confirm that. We hope to
have staff from the Forest service there to discuss their cave management
and the prospects of a project with them.
Directors: will you please let me know if you are planning to attend or are
sending a proxy?
Also, for all those planning to attend, we have a few choices for
activities on Saturday, March 1. If weather is decent we could do some
vertical practice at Giant City. Otherwise, we could do a cave trip and/or
clean-up at Equality or Ava. Can you please respond, and let us know if and
what you would be interested in doing?
Thanks!
