Thanks of Peter Austin (UMelbourne) course to those who have done so already, but still the vast majority of members VicePresidents have not. The email system was voted in as a measure to save time, but so far the John Ingram (UQld) effect has been more or less the opposite, what with having to maintain two lists. Hilary Chappell (La Trobe) If you genuinely cannot receive email, then please send me a request for a Ian Malcolm (Edith Cowan) special paper copy – so far only about a dozen people have done this. Secretary In order to read the email version, you will need the Acrobat Reader. This is Michael Walsh (USydney) freely and easily available from a number of sources, including the ALS website; Treasurer and the website also holds the current issues and back issues of the newsletter if Doug Absalom (Newcastle) you want to get it directly from there. JournalEditors Which brings me to the webpage – Simon Musgrave has been doing great Peter Collins (UNSW) things with it: check it out! He has even designed a logo, and would be glad of Peter Peterson (Newcastle) feedback from members on the logo or any aspect of the site. He is currently Doug Absalom (Newcastle) working on creating a ‘Members Only’ section for membership information. Barbara Horvath (USydney) Doug has also been doing great work on behalf of the Society, moving the NewsletterEditor matter of our incorporation along. Check out the constitution, and changes, inside.

This required us to insure against public liability for $5 million Following the decision of the AGM last and, as I foreshadowed at the AGM, to alter the Constitution. This alteration has year to phase out the hard-copy been kept to a minimum, and involves the addition of only one clause. This clause newsletter, I volunteered to help Helen (VII) simply says that anything not covered in our present constitution will be Fraser with the changes and with dealt with under the Rules published by the NSW Department of Fair Trading. Copies generally updating the Society's web of these rules are readily available at branches of the Department. After an exhausting pages. A few changes have happened (if not exhaustive) search through these rules, I could find little that I think ALS would already, as you may have noticed. But actively object to, so will move at the AGM in Perth that the constitutional change be then again, you may not have done, as endorsed, if there are no other suggestions in the meantime. After that the matter goes most of the alterations thus far are on to the Department of Fair Trading for their decision. minor. However, we hope that over the Membership payments for 1999 have been drifting in fairly slowly, perhaps coming months some more important due to the fee increase.

If you wish to pay back-fees for 1998, please remember that it will cost you (or Helen) know if you think that only $35, not $50. Unfortunately, people who have not paid for 1998 (i.e. are something looks just awful, or doesn't listed as 1997 on newsletter and/or AJL labels) will have to be removed from work.
