Guidelines on the Web

[Gina Carter]

Don,

I'll be glad to help in any way I can; just let me know what you need.

Based on the fact that Council has already approved the decision to put PTG
for-sale materials on our PTG website, I would argue that this would also
include the CAUT Guidelines and that Council wouldn't have to discuss it
again; therefore there is no need to have it on Council Agenda this year. I
would think that Dave, as President, has the authority to make this decision
to go ahead and do it now. If you'd like me to follow-up on this, let me
know.

Sure would make sense and a whole lot easier to have them online, especially
if the caut members are trying to update the guidelines.

Gina
