Training:

John Ellison brought up the issue of charging for videos and other training materials.  Motion to allow use by NENA members at no charge, while it is financially feasible to do so.  NENA to pay for outgoing postage ‑ Approved.

Newsletter:

Request for news ‑ preferably on disk, but any form is OK.

Discussion of DAD (Delayed Auto Dial).   This feature allows customer's phone to automatically dial a‑pre‑determined number if knocked off‑hook.  ALNENA is opposed to the use of 9‑1‑1 as the number to be dialed. It violates the spirit of the law prohibiting non‑human initiated calls to 9‑1‑1.

PSA Tape:

John played the Public Service Announcement tape for the attendees.  Another version is being developed.  A request was made for an audio‑only version also.  The tape will cost members $60.00
