[Bryn-gwlad] [Bg-announce] April Business Meeting Summary

[Avery Gwenneth]

We had a request to publish a summary of business meetings to the list so
that those who could not attend would know what was going on.  I am
attempting to do so on a trial basis.  If this is helpful to people, we will
try to continue.  Please note that this is NOT an official record.  This is
provided for information only.  I have attempted to keep the information
provided as accurate as possible; however, no attempt was made to produce a
complete record of all discussion.
