The meeting was called to order by the Chair of the Committee, Greg Gray from West Virginia..
An amendment to the Standing Orders was offered by Joe Blough and Tara Perkinson. The amendment read as follows: By deleting paragraph “H” of Section III and by removing the last sentence of paragraph one of Section IV. Pat O’Donnell asked for an explanation. Norm Moore explained that this would basically take off the sun set of the Associate Members Exchange Program. The Associate Exchange Program would now become a permanent program of ASLCS. The motion was adopted and the amendment will be recommended to the Executive Committee.
President Bruce Jamerson appeared before the committee thanking everyone for their outstanding work and for volunteering to serve on this committee for 2005.
Jeannine Wood, Chair of the Roster Committee, suggested the Standing Orders be reorganized by the By Laws and Standing Orders Committee as she found the Standing Orders difficult to follow. Draft copies of possible changes were handed out. Greg Gray appointed the following Subcommittee to recodify the Standing Orders:

JoAnn Hedrick suggested we review the phone numbers appearing in the Standing Orders as they are not current. Norm Moore also noted that the Publication Standards are also changing and this should be taken into consideration when reorganizing the Standing Orders.
The following schedule was set for reviewing the Standing Orders:
1. Recodification of the Standing Orders
2. Revising the Index and Joint Index
3. Draft from the Subcommittee would be discussed at the Spring Meeting in Boston
4. Finalize Standing Orders at NCSL Annual Meeting in Seattle in August of 2005
5. Make recommendation to Executive Committee at ASLCS meeting in Springfield, Illinois in September
