Al,

Kim, Howard and I are a team (and there are a couple of other helpers as
well). The job is constantly evolving so as soon as one would write down
the duties, it would change again. Right now I believe that webmaster is
not the best title, but it is long established.

Cyberspace Committee has been dissolved and two other committees have
replaced it. At the same time, the final authority for the server and web
site has been given to the staff, namely Howard Prince. All that should
be in AMC minutes and you can read it there. Generally the questions that
you ask are not the kind of stuff that goes into the Bulletin and the
Content Design Committee recommends content for the web site.

But briefly, I do any, some or all of the techie stuff as needed on our
server at the direction of Howard Prince. I am part of the publications
staff as you see on the Bulletin.

Mary
