David Green served as meeting facilitator at the invitation of
Director Bill Harrison.  Director Harrison welcomed members to the
meeting. Tthere was only one (executive session) action item.

The group approved the agenda as distributed.

The group approved two items on the consent agenda:
  1. ExCom endorsed the appointment of Adeeb Hamzey (PAOC, PACE) and
     Alan Thomas (Industry Relations)
  2. ExCom approved the minutes of it's July 2004 ExCom (e-conf)
  3. ExCom received the reports that are part of the information
     agenda.

The officers (Director, Director-Elect, Secretary, Treasurer) referred
members to their distributed written reports (Treasurer Hickman's
report is pending the budget being finalized).

Lee Stogner and David Green announced the closing of the ETI Project
as per plan.

The group then moved to the discussion agenda.

The group reviewed the plans for the meeting in Atlanta -- both the
schedule and the meeting's agenda.

The group next discussed a concern brought by Lee Stogner about the
number of members who had access the entire Region's SAMIEEE member
data.  Several other members thought things were too restrictive
rather than too loose.

The group did a quick review of the information agenda.  Charles Lord
highlighted plans for e-conf training.  Bill Ratcliff noted that
other committees could still use e-conferencing for holding their
committee meetings and that the Communications Committee would be glad
to help out if needed.  He also asked members who use eNotice to
complete the survey whose URL was in his report.

Having completed it's business except for the executive session,
Director Harrison recessed  the meeting noting that the next meeting
would be 10/12 January 2005 (E-Conf) and that this meeting would
resume at 12:45pm 16 October 2004 in Altanta in Executive Session to
deal with the action item.

The ExCom reconvened and held a short executive session.  At the
completion of Executive Session, Director Harrison announced that the
Region 3 ExCom recommended the following list of candidates for
Director-Elect 2006-7 (to then serve as Director/Delegate in 2008-9):

   a. Lee Stogner
   b. Bill Ratcliff
   c. Eric Ackerman


Respectfully submitted,
