Minutes of last meeting: * See below:
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.

Current process with MA
Some confusion led to the proposal by IMTAP being tabled and accepted twice by Museums Australia.
We are now waiting to hear from Museums Australia as to how we proceed as an organisation.
A big thank you to Lyn Beasley for making all of this happen.
Postal address of MA? Via MA?
Need to wait for more information from MA. At the moment everything can be posted to

Developments since last meeting: Monterey 2009 & Sydney 2010
Monterey Conference planning is progressing well. Simon Mortan has been doing a splendid. 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 April
Michael 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.au
michaelv@phm.gov.au
Michael & 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 Clyne
Jo 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. (in the right column of You Tube films.)
Projects team (including publications. Webs site is next Agenda item)
Publications: Jo Clyne
Archives: Nadya Tkachenko
Awareness/Publicity strategy to attract membership (or at least to expand data base.) Anne Thoday, Martin Green, Michelle Saunders.
Events: If IMTAP hosts an event Anne would assist with bookings.
