Approval of the Agenda V. Approval of the Minutes of the GA Midyear Meeting of 22 August 1998 VI. Business Arising from the Minutes of the Previous Meeting 1. PSSC Web Site Preliminary steps have been taken to develop aninternet-based facility for PSSC. E-mailservice is inplace (our E-mail address is [email protected]), and a proposal has been prepared to develop a PSSC web site. This was done by an IT specialist who has just joined the PSSC staff. The full development and installation of the web site, however, is estimated to cost over P100,OOO whichPSSCneeds to program for. 2. PSSC Newsletter Though cognizant of the interest of the GA to publish a newsletter on a more frequent basis to inform member-associations of each other's activities, the Secretariat has not produced a newsletter due to certain practical constraints. A major problem is that announcements of activities which can be featured in the newsletter are received by PSSC only a few days before these take place, or in some cases, after they have happened. The Secretariat found it more practical to fax announcements to member-associations in the NCR, while this would have been too late for PSSCmembers in the regions. (The assumption that institutions/ organizations plan and calendar their activities/programs way ahead of time may not always be valid.) The GA had suggested that newsletters which are put out by other groups be a source of information to be included in the proposed PSSC newsletter, but the information from these are again about past events or news that have already taken place. In view of this, the proposed PSSC newsletter and its purpose and objectives need to be clarified and its implementation reconceptuahzed. 3. Early Distribution ofMinutes Copies of the Minutes of the August 1998 GA meeting have been circulatedprior to this meeting. 4. Special Meeting ofthe GA The proposed November Special Meeting of the General Assembly was postponed owing to the heavy workload of the Accounting Section and the Secretariat in preparing the documents for the Special Meeting. Notices for the postponement of the November Meeting was sent to GA members. Items scheduledfor discussion in the Special Meeting have been incorporated in today's GA Regular Annual Meeting. VII.
