Mr. Kanter presented the latest draft of the proposed Committee publication with updates
and errata to the CommitteeÈs report to the 2014 ATM and accompanying STM.
He said he found that no changes are needed to the portion of the report on the STMÄ
which Meeting was opened and dissolved on March 24, 2014.
In the portion of the report on the ATMÄall of whose Articles addressed in the report
are yet to be presented to that MeetingÄthe changes: (1) correct two errors in background
information; (2) provide updates needed because of information that only became available
to the Committee since the publication of its report; and (3) provide minor, supplemental,
information that had been omitted in the report. Mr. Kanter said he did not consider that any
of the changes affected the positions taken by the Committee and the other members in
attendance agreed.
Mr. Kanter said his goal is to have the publication released electronically for posting on
st
the TownÈs and Town Meeting Members AssociationÈs Web sites on next Monday, the 31,
and to have printed copies available on that same date before the next session of the ATM
that evening.
