Hi, everybody,

	I share Songlin's concerns on the $$$ issue, although I also agree that
financial issue is critical to any organizations, we should be careful with it.

	We should save as much time on the line as possible.  Why don't we
make use of e-mail a little more.  Liqun, you may want to push everybody to
read all the resolutions we are going to discuss before the conference.  If
anybody has any question, post it to the net as early as possible so we don't
spend too much time explaining on the line.  Even for those who intend  to
promote motions, should try to post their motions' drafts to the net for review
as early as possible--we at Survey and Info Committee will try our best to 
achieve it.

	As for Financial Committee's resolutions, I don't think we ought to 
"police" them, if FC have solid facts, and if they follow the necessary 
rules and procedures.  I believe they understand the $$$ issue no less than 
each of us.  

	My only point is they, as well as everybody else, should try to do as 
much as possible the lobbying and discussion before we get on the line.

Thanks,

Wang Jing

Good suggestion. Everyone trys your best to do it. Even thought I know
some of our colleagues can not or are very difficult to access computer
network in the summer break.

Yes, through e-mail or phone. I will move to directly bedate and no Q&A
on all motions when our meeting is resumed.

Liqun,

	This is Tough!  For resolutions that are posted for long time, this 
works, but for emergency motions that people are not as familiar as the
resolutions, I think we can give a little more time--one round of Q&A maybe?
Also, it's up to you guys Chair and co-Chair of the Conference to watch the
time and cut it off when it's needed.

Thanks,

Wang Jing
