First, my apologies for the multiple copies of this that some of you will 
receive. I want to make sure *everyone* at Chebucto gets the invitation to our 
strategic planning session next month, on Sept. 15 and 16.

Second, congratulations on Mark Rushton's excellent outline of our new interim 
IP registration process. If this solution is technically feasible, I think we 
have a good working model that will satisfy everyone. It's been a long haul, 
trying to resolve this. I'm impressed with the innovative ideas that have come 
forward in this collaborative effort, but the best part is the speed and clarity 
with which Mark and Andrew have put this in place.

I see this as the third positive step for Chebucto in recent weeks. We can pat 
ourselves on our collective back for (1) Andrew and James' (on behalf of the 
Communications Committee) spectacularly successful webcam project and Doug's 
"Tall Ships" gallery, (2) Doug McCann's (in his role as Webmaster) and Johnathan 
Thibodeau's resolution of the "colours" issue, in place as of yesterday, and (3) 
this interim IPDB process which Mark and Andrew have developed. In addition, we 
are working with Bernie Hart on an application for grant monies that could 
significantly enhance our training capabilities and Information Provider 
relationships, if our application is successful.

We are in a position of strength as we prepare to embark on our strategic 
planning sessions in September. In addition to our Board members, all volunteers 
are invited, and I strongly encourage you to attend. We need your input. The 
dates are Friday evening, Sept. 15 and all day Saturday, Sept. 16. I'll be 
sending out a more formal invitation to everyone on every committee as soon as 
we settle on a location. And pass the word along to former Chebucto people who 
might have valuable historical information to contribute. Actually, I would like 
to hear from everyone who plans to attend, so that I can get an idea of the 
numbers and how large a location we'll need, and I want to put together a list 
of attendees. I would appreciate an email from you if you plan to be there.

Congratulations and thanks to all our hard workers at Chebucto. I hope to see 
everyone at the strategic planning sessions. We've got lots of great ideas 
around here; we just need to figure out how to implement them, for the longterm 
benefit of CCN.

Let me know if you'll be there.

Sharon Parker
Chairman of the Board
Chebucto Community Net Society
