10:00-11:30am
Dana Porter Room 428


Present: Shabiran Rahman, Wish Leonard, Dan Sich, Jane Britton, Michele Laing
Regrets: Jamie Russell


1. Approval of minutes from the Dec. 4 meeting

The minutes from the December 4th meeting were approved with corrections.

2. Business Arising

a. NVivo
Shabiran was unable to make the software work properly and will get Jack Cooper to look at it in January..

b. Recorder
CNAC has not yet had any volunteers to act as CNAC’s external recorder.

c. ORE documentation
Wish reported that the completion date required is the end of the survey itself, not the report.

d. UMD survey
The UMD survey documents are not “confidential”. Wish will make the UMD documents “live” on the CNAC website.
Some concern was expressed that we were not informed until after the fact that this survey had taken place. Our role is currently optional but we would like to be part of the planning process for such projects. We will take this up again in January when we look at our terms of reference.


3. Documents for Students with Disabilities Survey

Documents prepared to date for this survey project were reviewed:

a. Ethics clearance form:
Reviewed changes and corrections. Michele will fill in the on-line form and send in the first week of January with the required attachments. She will also send the two print copies as required.

b. Letter from Janet to Rose Padacz :
Spent some time discussing allocation of two $50 prizes: how to assign and draw numbers and at the same time maintain student confidentiality and anonymity. We decided to ask the OPD if this is something they could do.

c. Cover letter:
Revised and tightened up wording. Janet Wason’s name will go on the letter but not the names of CNAC members.

d. Survey:
We looked at this with Janet’s e-mail of Dec. 17 in hand. Shabiran will send us a revised version.


Next Meeting: Thursday Jan 15, 2004, 10:00-11:30, Dana Porter Rm. 512A.

10:00-11:30, Dana Porter Rm. 512A.
