The Chicagaoland Costumers Guild considers the issue of family memberships
an ICG issue. Both myself and Our Treasurer, Barbara Wright, have been
waiting since December for an answer out of the ICG Treasurer regarding
policy. All we want to know is whether or not people can have a "Household"
membership in the ICG. Then we can set dues for houshold memberships
locally accordingly.

As far as the other issues raised, the Galls have been complaining for
months about everything in relation to the CCG. They're basically unhappy
because we're not as organized as a local Star Wars fan group. If need be,
I'd be happy to refute their exaggerations and half-truths point by point,
but I won't unless I'm asked, because as people have said already, it's a
local issue, not a board issue. (Other than the one point.)

So, WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE ADVISE WHAT THE POLICY ON HOUSEHOLD MEMBERSHIPS IN
THE ICG IS? Thank you.

Yours,
Jennifer Kelley,
secretary,
Chicagoland Costumers' Guild

(responding on behalf of the CCG because our president is still mostly out
of communications reach from her accident last December.)

Here's my suggestion.

1) We contact these two people and let them know we're
looking into it.

2) Jess as corresponding secretary, or Byron as the
president, should telephone (not e-mail) the powers
that be in Chicagoland and ask them about this. Our
experience here with the CGW (and Jess can completely
attest to this) is that just because a member makes
certain allegations does not mean they're true.
Before doing anything, we should find out what's
happening at the chapter level.

3) With regard to the CC21 and hotel issues, as I
recall a few years ago there was a question of an ICG
fiduciary duty to any chapter running a Con. At that
time, because we wanted to make it clear that the ICG
had no financial or other responsibilities connected
with chapters running a Con, we made some statements
to that effect. Therefore, we need to refer anyone
asking us (the ICG) any questions regarding these
issues back to the chapter and explain we have nothing
to do with the running of Cons and that answering
these questions and all responsibilities are up to the
individual chapters (especially a hotel issue). If we
get involved in any way, a court could interpret that
as if we were taking responsibility for the Con and
therefore had a financial duty to any creditor. I
don't know if this action on our part protects us for
certain, but it can't hurt.

Ultimately, nothing should be done on this e-mail
until the chapter has been spoken to and we have all
sides of the issues.

My understanding is that the ICG has a flat rate of $4 per member. It is
up to the local chapters to work that amount in to their own dues structure
in order to cover costs.

Here in the Millennium Costumers Guild (MCG) we have instuted the
following:

Single Member = $8 = $4 local dues + $4 ICG dues
Household = $8 (single member) + $4 (ICG) for each extra person in house
Associate = $5 = $1 local + $4 ICG (for persons outside our geographic
area)

Our dues structure for household has always been Local dues + (ICG dues x
number of members in household).

We added the associate membership when we revised our dues structure to
accomodate the increased ICG dues.

What the hey, I'll poke my nose in here.

As far as I know there's NEVER been a household membership policy. If it
ain't in the by-laws, the chapter works it out themselves. That's what we
do. For each member, there's the ICG dues per person. On top of that, we
add our own membership for one person. Beyond that, we add a set fee per
person in a household that includes the ICG dues. So, in our case, if
there's two people, there's $4 for ICG, $3 for SLCG membership and $8 for
the Scarlet Letter and other costs, so it's $15. For each additional person
in a household, it's another $7 ($4 for ICG and $3 for SLCG -- no additional
newsletter is sent to the household). So for the household of 2, it's $22.

I don't doubt that there is definitely 2 sides of the issue here (there will
always be bellyachers), but it sounds like timely communcations -- even a
"We dunno -- we gotta ask the Powers That Be" might have mollified them
temporarily, rather than staying silent (this is presuming no communication
took place since December).

If these folks are getting The Hit List, I believe they would have known
about the venue change, but it sounds like the website may need more timely
updating. The point of folks without e-mail are out of the loop is well
taken, if it's true.

I'm sure Jennifer has lots of facts to back up that they've tried, but there
will always be some who may not be happy with the level of organization in a
group. That's why they eventually either quit or offer to take leadership
(the more constructive alternative).

Hi everyone,

Sorry to be off line for a couple of weeks.  We have just moved (houses, not e-mail).

We're a  bit nervous about posting things on the list as a whole. In the next day or so we'll be sending out a bulk mailing to everyone we think have our address.  If you don't get a message by the middle of next week and you have our old address, let us know and we'll correct. Unfortunately, our e-address book didn't make it from the old computer and we'll have to reconstruct group mailings from scratch.

Thanks to Bruno and Bruce for answering, and for revealing how their
membership prices are structured. With that information at hand, I can
present it to the other CCG board members and perhaps we can finally
resolve the "household" membership issue.

We're aware of our Guild organizational problems, and we're working on
them. We're just really tired of the Galls rubbing our noses in the problem
yet not offering to help sort things out themselves.

And, let me assure you all, Costume-Con 21 isn't as scatterbrained as the

At this phase, I personally don't know what the ICG
view is (that should probably be answered by Byron),
but I can tell you "household" memberships or family
memberships are considered by the Costumer's Guild
West as a local issue. A membership in our chapter is
a membership in our chapter. I'm not sure why a
family membership would be an ICG issue.

How we do it is that we collect a moderate amount over
what our usual membership is for a household since
this extra person at the same address receives a
membership with all the benefits but does not receive
a copy of our newsletter (thus the lower cost for the
added membership). When the ICG membership went up
by $3.00, we added that extra amount to the household.
Our household membership cost is $13. This is $9 to
become a family member of the CGW and $4 for
membership in the ICG. But this added person is a
member of the both CGW and ICG just as the original
member is only they don't get a newsletter. I know
this doesn't answer your question, but it might give a
frame of reference.

I know it's annoying when a member goes to the ICG,
but if a member appears to have problems getting a
response from a chapter, they do have a right to go
higher up the ladder. However, we have here with the
CGW occasionally experienced members who it seems that
if they either don't get the answer they wanted or are
just disgruntled because of expectations that cannot
be met will go to the ICG. But we've never had the
ICG interfere with our local policies that I know of.

We've had the same thing happen here with allegations
and accusations that stem from unreasonable
expectations.

Can I ask why Chicagoland considers family memberships
an ICG question? Do you guys only collect $4 for the
extra person and nothing for your chapter itself (i.e.
Chicagoland membership and $4 for the original member
and then just another $4 that goes to the ICG for the
additional person)?

We consider it an ICG issue because we didn't have clarification on if it
had to be one person/one membership or not, and we didn't want to set
family membership costs until we knew for sure. Until this year, when ICG
dues were $1, we charged $8/person and $10/family, and just sent in $1 and
one name out of the family for ICG rosters. But with the financial crisis
the ICG went through recently, we just wanted to make sure we were sending
all the money to the ICG that the ICG was rightfully owed!

Now that we have the answer, though, about the ICG, we're in the process of
voting on new family memberships fees.

Hi folks,

Just my 2 cents - catching up after taking the baby home (finally!)

Northern Lights has a household membership rate of $15, which covers up to
3 people at one address. We send in $4 for each person, and have a column
in the treasurer's spreadsheet for noting head of household and member of
household - Sharon sent us the spreadsheet, which had a separate cost for
each person listed.

On the subject of ICG BOD contributions to the CQ - can we change the
wording to "submit 3 contributions per year" rather than "write 3 articles"
? It opens up the thinking for pictures, book reviews, sketches, or
chapter advertisements. It feels like a bit less pressure to me.

I will not be in Calgary. I will be designating a chapter rep by the next
meeting (May 13). I have officially transferred both my and my husband's
memberships to Dora Buck's family.

Sharon, have you gotten an official Quarterly from the Northern Lights'
Treasurer?

Have fun!

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.

Correct. $4 per person after 1/7/01. Before that $1 per person.
Never had family rates.

The last Northern Lights update I rec'd, Dina, was from you.

Sharon

I'm not sure why the Galls thought it necessary to send chapter-only
complaints to you, but I think they misunderstand the ICG
structure,if they expect the Board to correct anything. Unfortunately
I have not been able to do much for the local group because of my
injury, our vice president is running his own convention, and the
rest of our board, besides their own lives, were finding keeping up
with plans for CostumeCon 21 as much as they could handle. The fact is
that Jennifer Kelley has managed to send out monthly guild mailings
and meetings have been held, which under the circumstances strikes me
as being more than might have been managed.
I had suggested to the Galls that they volunteer to help. I guess
they got impatient.
Again, I apologize
Carol Mitchell

Jennifer --

The answer to your question is "No, there is no such thing as an ICG family
membership." Membership in the ICG is for individuals; whether or not a
chapter wishes to offer family memberships is strictly a chapter decision.

I'm sorry that you did not get a response from the Treasurer when you asked
in December; I did not know you had made the inquiry.

Byron

If you are planning to come to Costume-Con 19, but haven't received any of
the information yet, here is how you get from the Calgary airport to CC19's
hotel:

There is a full size shuttle bus called the "Airporter Hotel Bus Service"
which leaves the airport every half-hour on the hour and half-hour and does
a circuit of the downtown hotels. Look for the red cardinal on the side of
the bus. The cost is $9 Cdn. per person one-way and $15 round trip. The
Westin Hotel is the third stop of ten. Getting to the hotel from the
airport will take about twenty to twenty-five minutes, but if you are
returning to the airport on a weekday, allow forty to forty-five minutes.
Remember, May 28th is not a holiday in Canada.
There are also minivans, the "Airport Shuttle Express" which will take you
anywhere in the city from the airport. The cost is $10 Cdn. per person
one-way. These seat eleven and can be booked at their counter near the
baggage claim.
If there are a few of you traveling together, you may prefer to take a taxi
to the hotel. The cost would be between $22 and $25 Cdn. Some taxi
companies will offer a flat rate, so inquire before you leave the airport.

In my opinion Carol, no apology necessary. It's
happened to us here a couple of times over the past
few years. I've found many times those people in
these all-volunteer groups who complain the most and
the loudest are never the ones who actually do the
work. With doing Costume College every year, I
understand having your committee and board stretched
to its limit. I'm not sure what is expected by the
general membership, but I'm sure you Chicagoland folks
are dancing as fast as you can. I hope your personally
doing better, by the way.

Sincerely,
Darla

International Costumers' Guild

 

Office of the President
50 Dove Street
Albany, NY  12210-1811 USA

 

May 13, 2001

 

To the Board of Directors, Committee Chairs, and Staff:

 

The 2001 Annual Meeting

 

 This message is to prepare for the Annual Meeting at CC 19.  I am sending it by both regular post and e-mail. Please let me know which Officers of the Corporation and ICG staff will be at the Annual Meeting (hint: if you're coming to the Con, I expect you to be at the meeting) and who will be representing each Chapter. The Meeting will be held on Monday, May 28. We must start promptly at 10:00.

 

Draft Annual Meeting Agenda

 

 My draft of the Agenda is enclosed for your review and suggestion.  Please review it and make suggestions for additions, deletions, and other changes as quickly as possible. JohnO, I want to post the final agenda on the web site. 

 

 Reports.  The only required report is mine.  However, traditionally we've received reports from virtually all officers and staff; therefore, I've included the full list.  They generally may be brief, except for those of the Treasurer and the CQ Editor.  If you feel no report from you is needed, please request deleting it from the agenda (that doesn't apply to Sharon or to Carl as CQ Editor). If someone scheduled to report won't be there, please provide a written report one of us can read.  Sharon, do you have someone yet to present the Treasurer's Report?  Whether you do or not, please get a copy to me before I leave Albany on the 22nd.
     
 Old Business. I know of none.  Is there anything?

 

 New Business.  I have listed two: action on the ICG Mission Statement and action to make the position of Chapter Liaison permanent.  As an alternative to making Guido a permanent position we could extend it for an additional year.  Darla, if you're president we'll have to find someone else for this job.

 

Does anyone have anything else?  If so, we should list it in advance.

 

Election of Officers (and Appointment of Staff).  As you know, the slate of nominees is as follows:

 

President:    Darla Kruger
Vice President:   Carl Mami
Treasurer:    Sharon Trembley
Corresponding Secretary: Laura Rico
Recording Secretary:  Dora Buck

 

Of course, nominations may be made from the floor.  Do Carl, Jeannette, JohnO, and Pierre plan to continue in their appointed positions?

 

Board of Directors Meeting

 

 As you know, the Board of Directors will meet at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, May 28, to review the agenda and adopt the budget.  With few items of new business we ought to be able to confine ourselves to agenda the budget and finish in time to convene the Annual Meeting promptly.

 

 If you have any suggestions for the Annual Meeting, let us all know.  My flight leaves on May 22, so you'll have to let us know by no later than Monday, May 21 (preferably earlier).

 

Yours,

 

Byron P. Connell, President

If anyone has an excuse to designate a reprresentative, you do!

I have nowhere to hide. I will be there (in body at least) representing the
Western Canadian Costumers' Guild.

Eileen Capes

As far as I'm aware, there is no reperesentative from CGUK going.

However, as there are several issues which CGUK (or some of our members) have
with ICG, I will email these to Byron (sorry, you're the President, you get
dumped on, even if it's someone else's responsibility), and the issues can
then be discussed either at the AGM or separately, as appropriate.


Marion Byott (CGUK Membership Secretary/Treasurer/Temporary 'zine Editor)

Marion --

CGUK may designate a member of another chapter to represent it.
I would encourage you to do so in order to be represented on the
Board at the Annual Meeting.

The same is true for any other chapter that otherwise would be not
be represented.

Byron,
I will be at the annual meeting representing the CGW.
I believe this will be fine for this meeting despite
my running for ICG president. Am I correct in that
presumption, or should I designate someone else as our
representative?

Office of the President

Albany, NY  12210-1811 USA
 
May 13, 2001
 

To the Board of Directors, Committee Chairs, and Staff:
 
The 2001 Annual Meeting
 
 This message is to prepare for the Annual Meeting at CC 19.  I am sending it by both regular post and e-mail. Please let me know which Officers of the Corporation and ICG staff will be at the Annual Meeting (hint: if you're coming to the Con, I expect you to be at the meeting) and who will be representing each Chapter. The Meeting will be held on Monday, May 28. We must start promptly at 10:00.
 
Draft Annual Meeting Agenda
 
 My draft of the Agenda is enclosed for your review and suggestion.  Please review it and make suggestions for additions, deletions, and other changes as quickly as possible. JohnO, I want to post the final agenda on the web site.  
 
 Reports.  The only required report is mine.  However, traditionally we've received reports from virtually all officers and staff; therefore, I've included the full list.  They generally may be brief, except for those of the Treasurer and the CQ Editor.  If you feel no report from you is needed, please request deleting it from the agenda (that doesn't apply to Sharon or to Carl as CQ Editor). If someone scheduled to report won't be there, please provide a written report one of us can read.  Sharon, do you have someone yet to present the Treasurer's Report?  Whether you do or not, please get a copy to me before I leave Albany on the 22nd.
      
 Old Business. I know of none.  Is there anything?
 
 New Business.  I have listed two: action on the ICG Mission Statement and action to make the position of Chapter Liaison permanent.  As an alternative to making Guido a permanent position we could extend it for an additional year.  Darla, if you're president we'll have to find someone else for this job.
 
Does anyone have anything else?  If so, we should list it in advance.
 
Election of Officers (and Appointment of Staff).  As you know, the slate of nominees is as follows:
 
President:    Darla Kruger
Vice President:   Carl Mami
Treasurer:    Sharon Trembley
Corresponding Secretary: Laura Rico
Recording Secretary:  Dora Buck
 
Of course, nominations may be made from the floor.  Do Carl, Jeannette, JohnO, and Pierre plan to continue in their appointed positions?
 
Board of Directors Meeting
 
 As you know, the Board of Directors will meet at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, May 28, to review the agenda and adopt the budget.  With few items of new business we ought to be able to confine ourselves to agenda the budget and finish in time to convene the Annual Meeting promptly.
 
 If you have any suggestions for the Annual Meeting, let us all know.  My flight leaves on May 22, so you'll have to let us know by no later than Monday, May 21 (preferably earlier).
 
Yours,
 
Byron P. Connell, President

As Parliamentarian I see know problem with this. Even if elected, you do
not take office until the current BOD ratifies the election AFTER the end
of the general meeting.

Question, Byron. Any possibility of adding tote bags to the list? I have
about six tape measures and countless luggage bags, but....well, to be
honest, we have about eight tote bags, but the good cloth ones are worth
their weight in gold.

Vicki Glover, Lesser Pooh-Bah (aka Vice President) of Beyond Reality will be
our representative at the meeting. I had been planning on attending, but
life intervened, so I won't be making it to this year's CC at all. *sniff*

I highly recommend against tote bags. We tried that
at Costume College last year. Even though they
weren't expensive, they were a "higher end" item price
wise. I am now sitting on two boxes full of bags with
the Costume College 2000 logo on them. Stick with the
little stuff, it sells better.

In general, a company only need pay sales tax on items sold by mail order to
states where that company has a business presence. The individual ICG
chapters, however, would probably count as business presences. That said,
selling items from the home office to the chapters would be wholesale and not
subject to sales tax. Sales tax responsibility would be incurred when the
items are then retailed from the chapters to the individual members.

In some states, including AZ, a nonprofit organization can get a special
sales tax license as an exempt organization. This not only allows the
organization to sell fundraiser items without sales tax, but also to buy
materials without paying sales tax at that end.

In practice, a small fundraiser like this will be well below the radar of the
individual states' sales tax organizations. Processing the paperwork would
cost them way more in employee hours than they would ever collect in taxes.
The tax license thing is more likely to become an issue if the printing
companies ask for a taxpayer ID number for their records before agreeing to
make the items. If that's the case, just fill out the paperwork as an
individual and pay the sales tax up front.

As a final comment, I agree that a fundraising activity independent of dues
and subscriptions is a good idea. We need to build up a war chest for
unexpected expenses.

A possible solution to that is to solicit pre-orders through the chapters
and, if interest is sufficient, sell to order. In addition, I'd have to think
there might be more interest in a bag with a general ICG logo as opposed to
one made for a specific event.

But since you mentioned it, Darla...um...how much for a tote bag? (grin)

Sharon Trembley did alot of research into fundraising ideas when she was
bidding CC-Las Vegas. I'm sure she still has that information somewhere.

Michael Bruno

Hi Folks,

Ann Catelli will be representing the Northern Lights at CC19 for the ICG
BOD meeting. I wish everyone attending a great convention.

My two cents on the fundraising:
I did some research into fundraising for CC18, and found decent tote bags
as low as $1.89 per bag at a minimum order of 75 bags, plus an initial art
set up of about $50.

The initial message about tape measures and luggage tags had much higher
minimum orders - 250 of the item. Isn't that something like 25% of the
membership?? I think we would be better off with fewer of a higher cost
item. That is the sales strategy that tends to work well for small niche
businesses.

When we were checking into fundraising, the most interest was in the tote
bags, rather than any other item like a T shirt or key ring.

I think pre-ordering would be a key to making money on this in any case!!!!

Yours in Stitches,

Michael Bruno -

Weren't you keeping track of my ideas? I have so many of them and
not enough time to write them down... oh well. Actually yahoo
eliminated the LV clubhouse where they were all being stored.

The problem was not finding things to sell but there were some
geographic, incentive and legal concerns making it difficult to come
up with the 'perfect' fund raiser.

Geographic - a national or multinational something that all of us can
use. This does have a possible side angle - if one of the big fabric
stores allowed the ICG a discount, we could print the ICG membership
card with the discount code/info on the back. How would this appeal
to Australians though? Some of the discount books for restaurants
offer a nice profit but they are very localized. Not even my chapter
of the ICG is covered by one booK. There's six for New Jersey alone.

Incentive - What do I get out of selling this? Also the ICG can't
force anybody to sell anything. I had some specific thoughts for LV,
but I'm sure the ICG can come up with some perks besides a free
keychain to the highest seller.

Legal - I think the ICG doesn't need to worry within the United
States but if they were to run a specific raffle or 50/50 somewhere
they may need a license and print the license info on the ticket.


Since Elaine's initial thought is for something trinket-sized, could
we kill two birds with one stone and have chapters order enough to
give all their members? For example, there were some questions asked
recently about the raising of dues from $1 to $4 at a Pup meeting and
the value of the difference. If the kennel keepers decided to part
with the money to buy 1 trinket for each member, and give it to the
Pup/ICG member, there could be some mutual satisfaction. The ICG has
now sold something and hopefully made a profit, and the general Pup
masses think they got something from the ICG (yeah, the chapter paid
for it, but the ICG's logo on it)

This would solve some of the problem with the 'I have to see it
before I buy it' mentality because only a handful of people need to
initially see the item, individual trinkets being shipped onesie-
twosie from the ICG Central Whse, and individuals corresponding and
remitting $2-3 cheques in US dollars to the ICG.

Along the same lines, I don't have a particular wish on what item I'd
like to receive from the ICG, but I'd probably be more picky on
something I'd be buying and going through the trouble of ordering.

Sharon

I will not be at the annual meeting, but I've designated Carl a while
ago as the NJ/NY designee because I can't be two people on the BOD.
He's already a member of the email list as CQ Editor.

Wayne Carmichael, the Western Canadian chapter treasurer, has
graciously agreed to fill in with the task of verifying current ICG
members present in-person or by proxy, and is helping me out by
getting the numbers to the meeting.

My files are all in ICG-BOD's file section if you'd like to preview
them before the meeting.

Sharon

> For example, there were some questions asked

The value of the difference is the continued existence of the ICG. No more,
no less. The dues increase was to support the ICG's annual expenditures and
eliminate the gap between income and expenses.

Or at least that's how I feel about it. :-)

Ken Warren

Sorry folks, We won't be making CC this year.

I also don't have a report to present.

No problems, no issues, no life issues (well the end
of March was really bad), and the ICG, the Lists and
the web site just sort of slipped my mind.

I will get some updates done on Thursday night (at
least getting Byron's PMs posted) and catching up
on any other website updates next week.

JohnO

Which address are you getting errors for?

Well Ken, we know that. For the rest of you all, the Pups just
adjusted their a la carte dues to pass through the extra to the ICG
so they saw the entire $3 added per person. Since Pup member only is
on the menu, we have to make the ICG option appear attractive.
Luckily, they are relatively tolerant and have parted with the extra
money rather than bailing on the ICG, but I believe there's a raised
level of expectation.

I'm not sure if it would be raised in other chapters - I think UK
would like to see more coming from the U.S. to them, rather than it
being mostly one-way.

Sharon Trembley -

While I do have a vague recollection of all of the wonderful ideas you
developed for the CCLV bid 2 years ago, and may even have some notes
somewhere; I felt that your memory would serve better being as they were
your ideas. And, as such, I felt that they would be best presented by
yourself.

JSM/SLCG

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.
