Meeting Opened: 12:15pm

Below are summaries of each of the topics discussed.

1. Discussion on sponsorship of someone to represent DAANZ at WDC 2001
in Paris, France. Agreed if representative incurs expenses directly
related to DAANZ activities whilst in Paris, that these expenses will be
re-imbursed from DAANZ funds. Executive will be looking to select a
representative from those members that are going to Paris.

2. Ask John Cain for invoice if he has incurred expenses (i.e. running
costs) for DAANZ web site.

3. Advise date/time/location for next AGM - Sat 27/01/01 Canberra RSL
1:00pm (lunch break).

4. DAANZ executive request that any tournament organiser contact us
should they be having problems with organising, financing or
administering tournaments.

5. Discussion on individual trophies for Bismark Cup winners. This
related to the current situation where at the end of the year the person
holding the Bismark Cup has to return it and has no lasting momento of
their acheivement. So as well as the current perpetual trophy we will
seek opinions on smaller permanent 'trophies' to accompany the Cup -
that people get to keep. Executive will send off two questions:
(a) Would you like trophies from now on?
(b) Would you like the trophies to go back to previous winners?
We have not yet decided on the type of trophy and will not be doing so
until after the vote. Need's 75% acceptance for either vote to go ahead.
We will be asking for votes in the near future.

6. Organising trophies (for tournaments) through DAANZ - buying in bulk
through one supplier. We will investigate how good a deal we can
negotiate.

7. Add constitutional reforms to next AGM agenda. The secretary asked
that requests for constitutional reforms that have already been sent to
Ozdip be re-sent (now that much discussion has taken place).

8. Funding increase. DAANZ membership to increase to $12 for years
2001-2002. This increase will be reviewed after WDC 2002. See point (10)
for further clarification.

9. Discussion of advising of membership. List of current membership will
be put on web site.

10. Membership will now be $1 per month. So if you pay in Jan it's $12
for the year, June $6, December $1.

11. Discussion on setting up the committee's from the list of
volunteers. Rob has taken notes on these and will be issuing separately.

12. Executive committee to investigate why PC with clock was not used
(for timing of rounds) at ACT tournament this year and identify what we
need to do to facilitate it being used at future tournaments.
