I've fixed the typo and grammer error, but otherwise
how do the members of the BOD feel about having this
sort of reminder be generated?

This is also a 2-week and tomorrow reminder set as well.

I think it's an excellent idea especially since I've
been pushing for it for quite awhile now. It's how we
do things in law office so we don't miss deadlines.

Subject: ICG Mission Statement
We agreed to consider a statement of the ICG's mission, goals, and objectives this spring. Jess has proposed the following as our mission statement:
 
"The International Costumers' Guild is an affiliation of amateur and professional costumers dedicated to the promotion of the art ofcostuming in all its aspects."
 
This strikes me as a good start.  What do you think of it?  Any and all suggestions are welcome, as are suggestions for overall goals for the Corporation.
 
I look forward to hearing from you.

International Costumers' Guild
President's Message

March 11, 2001

Hi to all -

As I write, we have snow on the ground here in Albany,
NY, having had two storms totaling 24 inches in a week. That
makes it a bit hard to believe, but spring is only nine days away!
I'm more than ready for it; it's been a looong winter.

Lifetime Achievement Award.

Each year, the ICG considers bestowing its Lifetime
Achievement Award on a costumer for his or her contribution to
the costuming community. Any member may make a nomination
by sending me the person's name and an explanation of how he or
she deserves the award and meets the criteria in our standing
rules. The deadline for nominations is 60 days before the ICG
Annual Meeting. This year, the Annual Meeting will be on
Monday, May 28, so I must receive all nominations by March 29.
The Board of Directors votes by secret ballot on any nominees, or
for "no award." The deadline for the vote is 30 days prior to the
Annual Meeting: Saturday, April 28.

To assist chapters and individual members consider nominations,
a copy of Standing Rule 15 and a list of all the prior winners follow.
I hope that you all will think carefully about possible nominees, and
send me the names of those you believe deserve the award.

15. The ICG shall establish a Lifetime Achievement Award to
recognize a body of achievement in the costuming art and service
to the costuming community.

A. Candidates for this award should have the following
qualifications:

1. Shall have been active in the costuming community for at least
10 years.

2. Shall have achieved significant recognition for their costuming
skills, which may be in the form of, but not restricted to,
competitive awards, professional accomplishments, teaching of
skills and/or media recognition.

3. Shall have made significant contributions in service to the
costuming community.

B. This award shall be given at the discretion of the ICG Board of
Directors, but no more frequently than once per year.

C. Candidates for this award may be nominated by letter of
proposal to the ICG President from any member in good standing
or form any chapter. All letters of proposal must be received 60
days before the annual meeting.

D. The ICG President shall prepare a secret ballot of proposed
candidates and No Award and send it to all chapter presidents
and ICG officers. The voting deadline shall be 30 days in
advance of the annual meeting. A majority of votes shall
determine the winner. The results shall be kept secret until the
award is presented.

E. It shall be the responsibility of the ICG President to have a
plaque prepared for presentation to the recipient. The plaque
shall read, "The International Costumers' Guild presents to
(___________________) its Lifetime Achievement Award for
his/her contribution to the costuming community. Presented
(Date) at Costume Con (Number) (City/State/Country).

Lifetime Achievement Awards have been made to:

2000: Pierre and Sandy Pettinger
1999: Carl Mami
1998: Gary Anderson
1997: Jacqueline Ward
1996: Byron Connell
1995: Karen Dick
1994: Janet Wilson Anderson
1993: Peggy Kennedy
1992: Bjo and John Trimble
1991: Marty Gear
1990: Marji Ellers

bconnell@mail.nysed.gov or BP.Connell@worldnet.att.net, or by
regular post at 50 Dove Street, Albany, NY 12210-1811 USA.

Group: ICG-BOD Message: 358 From: Darla Kruger Date: 3/12/2001
Subject: Re: ICG Mission Statement
I propose the following small changes to Jess'
suggestion.
"The International Costumers' Guild is an affiliation
of amatuer, hobbyist, and professional costumers
dedicated to the art of costuming in all its aspects."

Just a few word changes, but overall I like the
general direction.

Subject: Re: Reminder - Quarterly Reports are due in 2 weeks
I hate to ask, but what constitutes the "quarterly reports"? Is this the membership update, or is this something a poor but reasonably humble secretary/newsletter editor needs to jump upon?

Mind you, it won't be today...birthdays only come once a year. :)

Group: ICG-BOD Message: 362 From: Byron Connell Date: 3/26/2001
Subject: Re: Reminder - Quarterly Reports are due in 2 weeks
Jeff --

The quarterly update is the membership update. I refer to it as the
"quarterly update"
because that's what it's called in Standing Rule 5: ". . . shall send at a
minimum quarterly
updates to the Treasurer on April 6, July 6, and October 6; such updates
shall include
changes of names and addresses and phone numbers (where provided) of
existing
members and payments for new members, together with new members' names and
addresses and phone numbers (where provided); such updates shall also
include any
changes in membership status."

Sorry for the confusion,

Byron

Subject: Motion to Change the Name of the Archives
On March 31, Carl made a motion "to change the name of the ICG
archives from the Patrick Kennedy Memorial Library to the Patrick
and Peggy Kennedy Memorial Library." Unfortunately, he sent it
to ICG-D rather than ICG-BOD.

Without checking which list I was in, I asked for a second to the
motion. I wondered why I was getting responses from unusual list
members.

Having noticed what had happened, I now state that Carl's motion
is on the floor before the Board and needs a second from a voting
member.

Is there a second to the motion?

Group: ICG-BOD Message: 368 From: ICG-BOD@yahoogroups.com Date: 4/2/2001
Subject: File - mailing-lists.txt
Administrivia: About the ICG mailing lists.

Due to a crash of the Best List Server in early October,
the ICG mailing lists were moved to eGroups. When the
server came back up, the membership decided it liked eGroups.

The ICG has 2 mailing lists, the ICG General Discussion (ICG-D)
list and the ICG Board of Directors (ICG-BOD) list.

ICG-D is intended for, but not limited to, the general membership
of the International Costumers' Guild.

ICG-BOD is intended for, and limited to, the members of the
International Costumers' Guild Board of Directors as defined
by Article 5, Section 1 of the ICG Bylaws and those non-voting
parties as invited by the BOD to provide commentary.

To post to the lists use the following addresses:

ICG-D@egroups.com for general membership discussion.
ICG-BOD@egroups.com for officer level discussions.

To subscribe, please see the Subscription HowTo contained
in subscribe.txt for instructions.

Notes:

Policies of the ICG-D and ICG-BOD mailing list:

1) No Flaming. The moderator will issue one and only one warning.

If the flaming continues, all parties flaming will be unsubscribed.

2) No detailed discussion of the actual making of costumes.

"Huh?" you say. When this list was set up, its intention was
not to draw traffic away other costuming lists such as
H-Costume, F-Costume, Vintage, etc, but to promote discussion
about the ICG and costuming in general between members.

Detailed discussions will be encouraged to move or cross post
to one of the other lists.

3) If someone directly requests the moderator to subscribe/unsubscribe
them they will be sent this message and the moderator will
subsingle/unsubscribe them.

4) No SPAM! Suspect addresses in subscription requests will have their
identity verified.

5) No Chain Letters. I know some of them pull at your heart strings
or have you fearing for your hard drive, but most are inaccurate
(at best), out-of-date or fake (at worst).

6) Severely off-topic discussions or violations of these few policies
will flagged by a message from the moderator with [RIP]* in the
subject line. Further discussion after the posting of the [RIP]
message should be taken to private eMail.

7) No viral advertising! Do not send messages with advertisements
attached. It is bad enough we have to put up with the ads attached
to the free eMail accounts, without members taking the conscious act
of attaching advertising. I consider these one step above SPAM.

8) Subscribers whose accounts bounces mail will be deactivated.

"If messages sent to a member are consistently returned"
will deactivate your account from stop sending the mailing
list to your address.

For freemail account holders (Hotmail, Juno, Excitemail, etc)
Please be aware you account has limitations and will bounce
mail when you exceed you quota or have a full mailbox.

* I originally used Rip as in the sense of a ripping seam, but when
capitalized, its other meaning worked as well.

On March 31, Carl made a motion "to change the name of the ICG
archives from the Patrick Kennedy Memorial Library to the Patrick
and Peggy Kennedy Memorial Library." Unfortunately, he sent it
to ICG-D rather than ICG-BOD.

Without checking which list I was in, I asked for a second to the
motion. I wondered why I was getting responses from unusual list
members.

Having noticed what had happened, I now state that Carl's motion
is on the floor before the Board and needs a second from a voting
member.

Is there a second to the motion?

Byron

This is my formal notice to the board last year I asked for a list of subscribers to the CQ as of this date I do not have it. The third quarter is here waiting to be shipped and no updated list or any list for that matter.  This state of affairs leaves me no choice not recieving the full mailing list and the ability to keep and mantain the CQ list forces me to submit this notice.  This will serve as formal request for the list in two weeks from this date or my formal notice to leave the post of editor on that date

Hoping that this can be done soon. I need the room to work on my costume

Hi,

The Western Canadian Costumers' Guild is changing its mailing address, as Katherine has just sold her house.

For now the official mailing address for ICG correspondence, and for our camera-ready version of the Costumers' Quarterly, will be:

1. The voting period on the motion to change the name of the
Archives ended yesterday. The vote was:

Yea: 11
Nay: 0
Abstain: 0

The motion to change the Archives' name to The Patrick and
Peggy Kennedy Memorial Library has been adopted. The change
is effective immediately.

2. Last month, we briefly considered a proposed ICG mission
statement. The last suggestion came from Darla, leaving the
proposed statement as: "The International Costumers' Guild is an
affiliation of amateur, hobbyist, and professional costumers
dedicated to the art of costuming in all its aspects."

If there are no further suggestions for the wording of the
statement, can we consider this to be final? I would prefer to
forward it to the Annual Meeting for approval, with the Board's
recommendation, if that is agreeable to the BoD.

3. Please remember to vote on the Lifetime Achievement Award.
I need to receive your paper ballots by April 28. So far, I have
received only one.

4. My next President's Message will ask for nominations for ICG
offices and list the nominations already received. I hope to get
that off in the next few days.

Byron,

I think the mission statement should be left to the
Annual Meeting. It may seem small, but I think it's
important for the general membership to have a voice
in this.

BTW, I have not yet received my ballot re: Lifetime
Achievement Award. I'm supposed to receive some mail
from our box tonight. I will let you know if it's in
amongst that "stuff."

Sincerely,

Subject: Re: Business
I believe (just my opinion) that a hobbyist is in
between the amateur and professional (it's what I
consider myself). I occassionally take commissions
(theatrical and recreationist) but not enough to
warrant calling myself a professional. I also spend a
large quantity of time doing research and collecting
information. An amateur is someone who's interested
but hasn't put in the time or energy yet to bump them
up a notch. I feel someone like myself spends too
much time in the pursuit of costuming to be qualified
as an amateur (which indicates a lack of expertise),
but doesn't make their living by costuming (therefore
not a professional). Hope that clarifies.

Chapter Obligations

One of the few obligations that chapters have to the
ICG is to send us their lists of officers and members annually, with
quarterly updates. The Standing Rules provide that each chapter
must annually send the Corporation Treasurer its list of officers'
names, addresses and, where available, telephone numbers and
e-mail addresses, together with the complete list of its members in
good standing (including name, address, telephone number where
available, and whether or not the member subscribes to the
Quarterly). Each quarter, each chapter must send the names,
etc., of new members and any updates to the list of officers or to
members' addresses and phone numbers. At the same time as the
annual report, each chapter must remit ICG dues.

The due dates for these reports each year are: January
7, April 6, July 6, and October 6. Chapters' annual lists and dues
payments were due on January 7. I have asked our Treasurer,
Sharon Trembley, to send receipt to chapters when their reports
arrive and to send reminders early next month to the presidents
and treasurers of delinquent chapters. If you have not yet
complied, please send your chapter's update to:

Sharon Trembley, Treasurer
International Costumers' Guild, Inc.
398 Prospect Street
South Amboy, NJ 08879-1942 USA

The format that we need chapters to use in sending Sharon the
information is posted on the ICG web site: www.costume.org

"Guido," our Chapter Liaison, will be in contact with
chapters that have not met their obligation.

The next report date for chapters is July 6, when
chapters should send Sharon an update report on changes in
members' addresses and the names and addresses of new
members.

Members may reach me by e-mail either at
bconnell@mail.nysed.gov (work) or at
BP.Connell@worldnet.att.net (home), or by regular post at 50
Dove Street, Albany, NY 12210-1811 USA.

Sincerely,

Byron P. Connell, President
International Costumers' Guild, Inc.

There is also a hobbyist classification for taxes. You don't make
quite enough to be a profitable business - I believe the rule's
something like three years out of five.

Actually, the rules around hobby income/expenses are a lot more complex than
that.

Some businesses never have to make a profit at all. For example, most
restaurants go out of business never having turned a profit. On the other
hand, some businesses, because of the large amount of interest in them, are
very difficult to establish (to the IRS) as a business unless engaged in as
your sole income-producing activity. Photography is a shining example of
this. Even the "3 in 5 rule" may be disallowed by the IRS in this case.

If you're declaring hobby income and losses on your tax return, I would
recommend either reading up on the appropriate sections of tax law or hiring
an accountant to read up for you. :-)

Dear BODs,

I am writing to get a starter on ICG business as it will occur at
Costume-Con 20 in Melbourne in February, 2002.

The convention will be providing program time for the AGM as well as
pre-meeting time and space for the board to prepare.

There will also be space provided for ICG propaganda at the convention.

Are there any announcements or other items that the board would like to be
made at other times during the convention? As they become known, please let
us know so we can provide relevant information to the individual program
item hosts.

With fangs,

-C.

C --

At this point, it's probably too early to tell. However, there have not
been such announcements in the past -- at least, not in a formal sense.

I can't speak for the next President, but my pattern has been to schedule a
meeting of the BoD for an hour before the scheduled start of the Annual
Meeting (to review the AM's agenda). If the next Prez decides to do that,
the ICG would need the room an hour earlier than the scheduled start of the
AM. Also, I have never been able to limit the Meeting to two hours, so I
would urge you to allow at least one hour extra time for that room. At CC
18, the Con-Com rescheduled its own programming on the fly to accommodate
us. On the other hand, I've run the AMs Sick Pups style -- we talk
everything to death and arrive at a consensus before taking a formal vote
(which usually is unanimous, therefore). That takes time. Not every
President has done this and my successor may have a different -- and more
time-effiecient -- style.

The space for ICG propaganda is much appreciated. Thanks.

Hope this is helpful.

Byron

Subject: Re: Fw: Membership Question
Jess,

I agree it's a chapter question. Chicagoland only had Lauren listed
as a member in what they've sent me, but we wouldn't know which way
this membership misunderstanding went - if they paid for a family or
single membership locally.
