AGENDA
1. Welcome and apologies

3. Reports: National Convenor (Anna Robinson) Treasurer (Julie Christie) Membership Secretary (Sally Stowe) Journal Manager (Haley Jones) Link Groups (ACT, NSW-Sydney, NSW-Wollongong, Qld, SA/NT, Tas, WA)
4. Transfer of National Link Team to Victoria in 2006. That National Co-Convenor roles be introduced as a mechanism for continuing the momentum in Canberra while fulfilling Constitutional requirements to rotate National Link Team. Elect positions were agreed to at 2004 AGM. Nomination for National Co-convenors elect – Rosemary White (ACT) and Di Webster (Vic). Notice is given that the ACT Link Group is to complete its term this year and will hand over to the new National Link Team at the 2006 AGM (date to be set). Nominations for remaining elect Executive positions are now open.
5. Transfer of financial as well as membership administration and journal distribution to Convention Associates – for discussion.
6. Link Groups to accept responsibility for journals in rotation. This provides for fairer distribution of WISENET business. Discussion about procedures.
7. Recommend that Executive Committee be changed to comprise: National Co-Convenors (2), Treasurer, Membership Coordinator, Journal Coordinator (the latter names changed to more fairly reflect roles) Link Group and past-National Convenors. Public Officer to attend in ex-officio capacity.
8. Nomination for Honorary Membership of Pam and Alex Reisner. Pam and Alex dealt with all website matters in the last three years. Their great generosity has allowed us to readily maintain an active, current and interesting website that is now part of the National Library’s PANDORA Archive.
9. Any other Business.
ACT group is invited to go to dinner at a restaurant afterwards.
