3.1 NT Libraries Census funding application. No further progress: Larraine asked if work on the census and directory could be combined. Jayshree had made the same suggestion at the March meeting but had been told that it wasn't feasible as the two are quite different. However it was agreed that as long as the purpose of the census was not lost, criteria for the directory could be incorporated. A group to update the Directory was set up: Larraine Shepherd (Chair), Ann Ritchie, Robin Hempel, Kira Paznikov Barry, Jayshree Mamtora (after 13 September).
This Group to meet before next monthly meeting.
