Braille Forum Themes [Sharon] Have we gotten positive responses from the committees and affiliates from whom we requested content for May and June, i.e., “Aging and Vision Loss” for May; “Sight and Sound Impairment” and “June Teenth” for June?

The ACB-Conversation list [Jeff, Rick, All]

Have we implemented the 5-day time limit for individual threads that we discussed in March, and can Rick or Jeff send out a message describing how the newly implemented change will work?

Do we want to discuss list moderation again? Is it appropriate for elected leaders to moderate a discussion list for members? Should we expand the moderation team, or attempt to recruit additional members again? These are issues which ACB members, including affiliate presidents, have brought to my attention.

An announce-only list for ACB [Deb, Katie]

Is this possibility still under discussion?
