Welcome to first meeting under the banner of MA
Office bearers. We are waiting for the rules of running the committee before we call for nominations. In the Education network we have a president, secretary, treasurer and all others are VIPS?
Should we put out a call for nominations?
Question: How do we have national committee when most members belong to 2 states AND how do we adequately involve the few members of other states?
There are positions already taken e.g.
Publications: Jo Clyne,
Archives: Nadya Tkachenko
Report on progress of Sydney conference from Scott Andrew
Reports Other business
Next meeting: probably a phone meeting again between Canberra & Melbourne.
Patrick will be happy to host next meeting at the MCG.

Developments since last meeting:
Monterey 2009 & Sydney 2010Monterey Conference planning is progressing well. Simone Mortan has been doing a splendid job. Early bird registration opens this coming week and is available through April 15.
Jo Clyne & Patrick Watt have had their paper proposals accepted and of course hope to attend. Details of the conference can be found at IMTAL Americas go to http://www.imtal.org/
Sydney Conference: proposed date 22-24 AprilMichael Van Tiel (Powerhouse), Scott Andrew (National Maritime Museum) and Australia Museum are partnering to host the next IMTAP conference in Sydney 22 -24 April.
The theme is ‘inclusion’ and is probably very timely.Please everyone think about the dates and the theme and what you might be doing and what you might be able to offer Michael and Scott and probably contact them directly:sandrew@anmm.gov.aumichaelv@phm.gov.auMichael & Scott plan to model the conference on the most recent Melbourne model and possibly offer an optional day 3.
Office bearers ??? We need to establish a committee so we are clear about roles and expectations rather than inviting all members to every meeting.As we are waiting for information from MA we have not furthered this idea. At present Patrick Watt will remain conduit of information.
Short Film from ROV. Jo ClyneJo presented an excellent summary film of the Raising Our Voices conference. It needs a little tweaking but will then go on to the IMTAP site.
