Meeting Minutes Jan 12 2005

Cam, Rob, Rob C, Amanda

Very casual meeting with Rob giving update on Web Radio. Should be streaming soon.

Benefit show coming up on Tuesday at the Well.

Cam talked about CRTC stuff. He thought letters would be good to notify groups about the Radio. This is a CRTC requirement.

One issue discussed was whether we should go for a low power (5 watts) or over 50 watts station right off the bat. The differences being low power (lower cost of start up/ ease of application) or high power (cost won't be much greater/ we will have protected broadcast range).

Rob C was interested in Industry Canada stuff and Amanda was interested in CRTC.

Action Items:
1) Cam will write draft question to NCRA list serve about the costs of starting up a station. The question will hopefully give us some idea of budget and also help make some decision over low power or over 50 watts. Cam will share draft with 'Board' members for comment.

2) Amanda hopes to draft a form letter to be sent out or delivered to groups, societies, people... that we think should be aware of the possiblilties of volunteering with us or starting a show. Amanda will share draft for comment.

3) Rob C will read up on Industry Canada and Low Power and Amanda will read up on CRTC.

4) Rob will help with implementation of Web stream. (Rob gives a big credit to this to Jeff Smart for all his work)

Next meeting at the Bean Scene starting 6:30 PM Feb 2nd, 2005

Cool, Cam
