Dear Colleagues:

While the Council Chair Dong Liqun is out of his town,
it is my duty to keep the Council's work going.  Here are several
things that come to my attention.

1. The HQ's proposals

The Council has received two proposal packages from the HQ about the 
HQ and WC nominations. Included in the first package are Newsletter
budget proposal and edit in chief nomination; assistant treasurer 
nomination; proposal to establish a New Comers WC; and nomination of
the chair.  Included in the second package are proposals about WC's.

As for the NL, Dong Liqun and I have sent a memo to HQ to raise our
concern.

As for the assistant treasurer's nomination, I here call for a vote 
without debate. I would request to pass it by unanimous concern.

As for the establishment of the New Comers WC, I call for a vote 
without debate, and I would request to pass it by unanimous concern.

As for the nomination of the NC WC, I request the Council's Personnel
Committee to conduct an interview with Mr Liu Chengyan, and provide
a report to the Coucil in a week. The Council shall call a vote on
it a week later. Meanwhile, I will also contact Mr Liu Chengyan, asking
him to provied a work plan (proposal) to the Council and/or the Personnel
Committee.

As for the second package, I will leave time for the Council members
to comprehend and discuss it. Formal debate and vote will be called later.

As for the two calls for vote above, considering the situation of email
communications, let's have 10 days for them.  The voting period will
end at Midnight (12pm) Sunday, Sep 26, 1993.

2. Follow-up of the first Teleconference

There are several things that the Council need to follow up.

(1) Inspection of the HQ accounting record and equipment

So far no agreement has been arrived about the time when the team will go.
The Council members in the Finance Committee are availbe only around 
weekends. However, President Lin Changsheng told the Committee that 
the IFCSS treasurer Jiang Zuohong is not available at weekends.

Due to the urgency nature of the inspection (several frozen budget items,
such as the travel/transportation and the NL project, depend on the result
of the clarification of the accounting balance), I encourage my colleagues
to proceed promptly, although I understand that all of us are also busy
with our studies.  I would also urge all that are involved in this case
to cooperate and set a timetable as soon as possible.

(2) the frozen items

As has been poited out, although several items are frozen, the HQ has 
been carrying out their projects as they deem necessary, which may be
presenting a difficult situation for the Council and the HQ to deal with.

While I hope on the one hand that the President is using his power to 
spend the limited amount of money allowed ($3,000 per year?), I hope
on the other hand that both the Council and the HQ can come up with some
means to keep the HQ in full operation while IFCSS regulations are not
violated.

Yungui,

For the vote, it might be necessary for each council member to, at least, post 
to our net, saying that he/she's received your message.  Therefore, you'll know
for sure how many people are attending.
