1.	GH introduced the NW board members.
2.	 TR listed the chairs for the 2006 conference at EWU:	
	 Tim Rolfe, EWU, Conference Chair
	 Ray Hamel, EWU, Site Chair
	 Elaine Weltz, SPU, Papers Chair
	 Don Chinn, UWT, Panels and Tutorials Chair
	 Ralph Huntzinger, Chico State U., Registration Chair
	 Rob Bryant, Gonzaga, Program Chair
	 Peter Tucker, Whitworth, Speakers Chair
	 Doug Bickerstaff, EWU, Vendors Chair
	 Paul Bladek, Edmonds CC, Student Posters Chair
3.	 GH outlined the future conference schedule:
	 2006 at EWU
	 2007 at Linfield College in Oregon
	 2008 somewhere in western WA (PLU was mentioned)
	 2009 is still wide open and should be again in eastern/central WA
4.	 GH asked for ideas for a theme for future conferences:
	 CS0
	 Theme should only be in one track
5.	 TR asked about using credit cards to pay for registration and BW indicated that there is a high probability it will happen soon.
6.	 Paper submission in a standard, reliable format remains a problem.
	 PDF was proposed as a solution
7.	 RB explained some national issues:
	 There is talk of publishing the journal in CD-ROM format.  There will be problems with such a format being acceptable by rank and tenure committees.
	 We are working on a submission scheme that will yield consistent formatting and which also has a consistency across the regions.
	 The delay with the credit card payments is due to “growing pains”  in that it is often hard to change what you've been doing from the beginning.
8.	 GH announced that there will be an election for the regional representative, aka regional board chair, in the coming spring.  The election will be run by email.
9.	 GH closed the meeting as no one wanted to argue about anything.
