            PRESENT: President Clint Budd, Vice-President Garth Spencer, Treasurer Donna Mcmahon, Secretary R. Graeme Cameron, BCSFA Rep. (& President) Darryl Huber, V-Con Rep. Steve Forty & Member-At-Large Evelyn Beheshti.
            BEGINS: 5:30 pm.
SUBJECT: WCSFA REGISTRATION:
            - WCSFA is now officially registered as a limited liability society! Donna pointed out that only members of WCSFA are protected as such. To be covered, V-Con Concom must join WCSFA. Details to be developed.
            - Must now open a WCSFA bank account. Clint, Donna & Ev to be co-signers.
SUBJECT: V-CON FINANCIAL REPORT:
            - Costs of function space may be greater than anticipated. Steve reports cannot be determined till negotiations with UBC completed, anticipated February 20th.
SUBJECT: HOUSEKEEPING PROCEDURES:
            - Donna moved that the annual WCSFA report be presented to all Directors of the Board prior to its submission to the government as a means of making damn sure we never again accidently allow registration to lapse. Passed.
            - All policy motions to be logged by Secretary. Passed.
SUBJECT: WCSFA POLICY AND PROCEDURES:
            - Evelyn Beheshti once again took the chair, this time to lead us through the most contentious items. Discussion was frank and forcefully expressed. At one point an impasse was reached. Evelyn came up with the compromise that broke the logjam, such that Steve Forty -- subsequent to the successful hammering out of the draft policy -- moved that WCSFA commend Evelyn for enabling us to reach a final agreement. Passed unanimously.
            - These minutes are brief, as the final draft in full will be printed on the following pages for member's consideration. Draft to be presented for adoption at the next BCSFA/WCSFA joint meeting.
            FINISHED: 9:30 pm.

NOTE: All those involved in the above are your elected representatives, and this is part of their job. Everyone has many years of involvement with BCSFA, and much relevant mundane experience as well. EG: Nico is a successful businessman whose interests include gaming, and he is currently Treasurer for both V-Con and BCSFA. Darryl and Clint were in business together, running a printing company, and both are knowledgeable about computers (Darryl is also a gamer). Donna's been with BCSFA since the 70's and is a freelance reporter and voracious SF reader, and has chaired V-Cons.  Steve dates back to the 70's, is a former BCSFAzine editor and offers much V-Con experience. Ev is also an old-time member and brings profoundly calming management skills to the table, along with financial expertise from the insurance industry. Garth is a fanzine writer, winner of a CASPER (now called AURORA) award for his MAPLE LEAF RAG newszine), a word-processing & desktop publishing expert and a well-known fanac historian. Graeme is currently BCSFAzine Editor, has been in and out of the club since 1971, loves SF lit and is blindly obsessed with bad SF films. In combination we represent a healthy cross-section of fandom. All of us are sincere in our desire to put WCSFA, BCSFA and V-CON on a secure, healthy footing. Please give us, and our draft policy, your support.
