The questions of other media, and of linking research to electronic sources, will be dealt with afterward. There are hundreds of societies out there, who are not using computers to manage their membership lists, publish their newsletters, track their bills, communicate with other societies, document their cemeteries, and so on. They are also not using them to communicate among Society leaders. The annual conference should be a showcase of leading edge technology for genealogists, and the Technical Committee will enable those presentations. At present, the committee chairman has prohibited physical meetings.
All communication is to take place on-line, by phone, thru fax, or by mail.
Committee members will basically communicate thru email. Like real meetings, discussion will take place. Likely, a great deal of time will be wasted in idle chat, too. The project leader is responsible for archiving the communication on project matters and forwarding it to the chairman when the project is complete. In a physical meeting, many exchanges might constitute discussion, and it might go on for several minutes.
