  1. Discussion about the interpreter coordinator. We have agreed to pay registration, half of the hotel fee and airfare.  The coordinator is asking for a stipend.  Doug (Annette) moved that someone contact the coordinator to talk with her, explaining that this position is traditionally volunteer.  For the negotiation, we can offer her up to a $500 stipend.
