2.1

The Chairman said that the website should have prompt response to current affairs, such as the recent tsunamis in South Asia. In this incident, he had written an email to all Ex-Com members appealing for members’ donations to the relevant bodies. After deliberation, it was agreed that Mr. YM FAN would arrange with Buddy to upload the Chairman’s message to the website. (Post meeting note : Chairman’s message had been uploaded and the website had been updated with a new look soon after the meeting.)

2.2

Members also discussed whether improvements, such as sound effect, could be made to the website. However, as sound effect might involve much memory space, it might not be possible at this stage to have sound effect in our website. It was also mentioned that photos for the Huai Ji Trip in December 2004 had been uploaded to the website.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.3

One of the four sample designs had been selected as our new membership cards. It was agreed that membership particulars, including Name in English only and membership number with five digits, would be engraved on the card. The first 2 digits would represent the year of graduation and the last 3 digits would represent the membership number in the respective year. There would be a white band at the back for members’ optional signature. Mr. Y M FAN would arrange with Buddy to provide Mr. Stephen CHAN with a sample for his onward printing arrangement. The deadline of the production of the cards was one month before the AGM. The standard size of 1,000 cards would cost about $4,000.00 with the remaining unused cards reserved for later printing. It was agreed that the initial card would be free to members and administrative fee would be charged for replacement/lost cards.
