  5. Hands on workshop planning:
    1. Chris Ricker announced that speakers have been confirmed: John Perry Barlow and Deborah Caldwell-Stone, who is the deputy director of the ALA Intellectual Freedom Committee. The committee decided to ask Jayanti Addleman, Monterey County Free Libraries to participate as a third member of the panel discussion member. Speakers will speak for free and will provide own transportation. MOBAC will provide one night’s lodging. The committee chose Seascape Resort. Steve Watkins has volunteered to drive speakers to the event from Seascape, if necessary. Chris will consult with speakers and make arrangements with Seascape Resort.
    2. Chris Ricker or Jayanti Addleman will introduce the speakers. Can Steve Watkins facilitate the panel discussion? Deborah Stephens volunteered to do videography (Stacy DeMateo as backup?). Stephanie Staley will take care of light breakfast refreshments and coffee/tea. Monica Wilmot will set up a Gmail registration account. We talked about sending relevant documents for pre-workshop reading to attendees.
    3. Budget for event: $400 for each room for a total of $800. $150.00 for refreshments. Lunch was discussed but not in detail. Will discuss further at April meeting. Chris informed us that the deadline to request additional funds is March 24.
    4. Survey netted 18 responses. We reviewed the responses and decided to develop pre-set questions for the panel discussion which we will write at the April meeting. Chris asked Bui-Burton to send Save-the-date email and survey to PLP. Chris also will send guiding documents to speakers.
    5. Stephanie discussed new procedures for reserving rooms at Cabrillo. Room is large so we discussed contacting local newspapers. We discussed the flyer and other aspects of publicity. The date of this event (May 2) fall within the ALA’s “Choose Privacy” week, which is May 1 -7 (http://chooseprivacyweek.org/)
