9.3 Branding Task Force (S. Abram) 9.3 Branding Task Force (S. Abram) (Continued)	A03-19	APPROVED: Recommendations in document A03-19 as outlined below. 1. We, the members of the Branding Task Force, recommend that the Board submit to the membership at the Annual Business Meeting in New York in June 2003 that a quorum of members present approve a full SLA membership vote, by mail ballot, which will result in a change to the bylaws and the choice of a new name for the Association. 2. We, the members of the Branding Task Force, recommend that decisions regarding logos and taglines be addressed specifically after the decision is taken on the actual name. These are costly decisions and it will be more cost-effective to build a securer foundation for these creative efforts. These are also not specifically part of our bylaws. Sample logos and taglines may comprise part of the process to educate members on their choices and the foundations for those choices. 3. We, the members of the Branding Task Force, recommend that the names to be voted on shall be: SLA (simple acronym) Information Professionals International (IPI) 4. We, the Branding Task Force, recommend that the Board choose to update and implement a professional communication strategy to inform the membership about the reasons for this change. This must begin almost immediately with the first major event being the SLA Winter Leadership Meeting communication to the leadership. It is critical that we continue the strategy of education and consultation that has been the hallmark of this process for two years. DISCUSSION: Stephan Abram provided the Board with background on the development of this document. Members will be given the option to vote on keeping or not keeping the current name. A mail ballot would be sent to the membership for a vote to determine which of the two names presented, is preferred by the majority. Although the new Bylaws do not require a mail ballot, all agreed that this was the best way to proceed. The Bylaws revision should be drafted by the Bylaws Committee, and reviewed by the Parlimentarian as well as SLA’s legal counsel. The Communication plan was discussed at great length. Talking points were highlighted: All agree that the membership will decide whether there is a new name for the Association and what this name will be. No one is telling members what to choose. Research shows that the current name is currently damaged and there is no turning back. The chosen names were arrived at through multiple polling of the membership. Members need to think about these choices, and understand them, but are asked not to judge them at this time. A PowerPoint™ presentation, including an audio voiceover will be developed and disseminated to the membership.
9.4 Sale of SLA Property (L. Smith)	A03-07	APPROVED: That the Board of Directors refer document A03-07 back to the Finance committee to further explore options for leasing the building and/or other potential options. The Finance Committee will prepare a report for the Board that will include a rationale and fiscal detail. ACTIONS: Finance Committee and SLA staff would come back with a full proposal. A Q&A document will also be developed.
9.5 Governance Model and Philosophy (B. Fisher)	B03-07	DISCUSSION: Minor revisions to B03-07 were made. ACTIONS: Document will be updated and brought back to the Board as an “A” document for the January Board meeting.
10 FINANCIAL MATTERS
10.1 Treasurer’s Remarks and Report of Fall Finance Committee Meeting (R. Geiger)		DISCUSSION: Geiger provided introductory remarks on the trend report (B03-02) and the budget overall. Currently, we are expecting a deficit budget of approximately $200,000 for this fiscal year. Geiger thanked SLA staff and the Finance Committee for their help and hard work. Staff answered questions regarding the report.
