1)  Approval of the minutes 

	Minutes of the last meeting was approved with the 
	words "at least" prepended to "3 officers".  

2)  SANS Conference Status

	From now on SANS announcements, etc. 
	will be reviewed by USENIX and SAGE.
	The current CFP is being reviewed by
	USENIX and then it will be passed on to SAGE
	for edits.

	Bryan McDonald and Paul Moriarty will be the
	additional (to EDZ) SAGE representatives to
	SANS, as they had volunteered at the Aug. 11th
	SAGE Board meeting.

	SANS has a different audience than USENIX
	traditionally has; the federal govt.

	It was agreed that SAGE, via its' representatives,
	needs to make sure that future SANS announcements
	accurately reflect SAGE's intentions/opinions
	WRT the conference.  It was agreed that the SAGE
	representatives take a proactive role in the
	future SANS conference preparations.

*	Elizabeth will contact Paul M. to bring him 
	up to date on SAGE representatives' role
	in preparing for the SANS conference.

3)  STG/LTG document and bylaws

	Bjorn has not finished the LTG document yet.
	
	Normally, the committee to work on this
	document would be Ellie, Steve S., Elizabeth,
	and John D./Paul E.  However, Bjorn, Ellie,
	and Elizabeth will all be at the Sun Users'
	Group conference this Thurs. so they have
	decided to meet on this topic as logistics
	permit.

	So, there may be something more concrete next
	week.

4)  Working Group Status

	Tina D. reported that the Jobs WG is still making
	steady progress.  She expects to have something 
	for review that she will post post to the SAGE 
	mailing list early next year.

	Bryan M. reported that the Publications WG is
	doing well and that he is currently ahead
	of the curve for publication deadlines.  

	The Online group has ftp.usenix.org set up.

3)  Misc.

	Cynthia has put the SAGE BOF on the schedule for
	San Diego USENIX.  Judy will get a room for the SAGE
	Board meeting.  Elizabeth will attend the USENIX
	Board meeting during the leading weekend to the
	SG USENIX as SAGE's representative.

	The packet content for the San Diego USENIX will be:
		Membership form
		Front page of SAGE info.
		Back page of new SAGE Board members with
			a small statement by each.
*		Bryan will ask all SAGE Board candidates
		for a statement that could be used for this
		if elected.

	Bryan has recruited Christine Quinn to assist him
	with the publications.  Christine has prepared
	some possible SAGE logos.  Bryan faxed them to
	Pat and Steve during the meeting.

        The next meeting is Jan. 12, 1993.  This will be
	the last meeting for the current SAGE Board.  The
	SAGE-elect Board will be invited to this meeting
	as a "transition" meeting; conference method to
	be determined.
